What is a PNP draw?
A PNP draw is a round where a province or territory picks candidates from its pool and invites them to apply for a nomination. On the Express Entry route, IRCC also runs draws that invite candidates who already hold a nomination.
These are two different draws. This page tracks both.
Which draws does this page track?
We track the federal Express Entry PNP draws and the provincial draws that official sites publish. Saskatchewan has no scheduled draws, and PEI blocks automated reads, so we link to those pages.
Why draws matter
- Scores: show what profile gets invited
- Size: shows how active a province is
- Priorities: show which jobs a province wants now
Which draws matter to you?
It depends on your route.
Provincial draws matter if you
- Have an EOI or profile in a provincial pool
- Want to compare scores across provinces
- Need to know which jobs a province invites
Federal PNP draws matter if you
- Hold a provincial nomination in Express Entry
- Want to know how fast nominees get invited
- Plan your 60 days to apply

We compare your score and your job with the draws above and show you where to aim.
How to read a draw table
CRS and EOI scores
Federal draws use the CRS. Provinces use their own scores, so you cannot compare them.
Invitation, not nomination
An invitation lets you apply to the province. The nomination comes after the province reviews your application.
Cut-off dates
Some provinces list a cut-off date. Profiles submitted after it were not in that draw.
Targeted draws
Many draws pick a sector, such as health care or tech. Check the stream or pathway column.
No fixed schedule
Alberta and Saskatchewan draw as needed and do not follow a calendar.
Different update times
Provinces post at different speeds. We use the date on the official page.
Related pages
These pages cover programs, points and the Express Entry process.
How to use this tracker
Five actions turn the tables into a plan.
Find your province
Look at the province you target, or compare several.
Check the score
Compare your score with the lowest score invited.
Check your sector
Match your job to the stream or pathway in each draw.
Prepare your profile
Keep your EOI active and your language test valid.
Come back often
We update this page daily, so check it after each draw.
Want your score checked against the draws?
We review your profile and tell you which province gives you the best shot.
From a draw to a nomination, step by step
Six steps from your profile to your nomination.
Register in a pool
Submit an EOI or profile to the province you target.
Get invited
The province invites top-ranked or targeted profiles in a draw.
Apply in time
Submit a complete application before the deadline on your invitation.
Province reviews
The province checks your documents and your ties to the province.
Get nominated
On the Express Entry route, you gain 600 CRS points.
Apply for PR
You apply to IRCC, either after a federal PNP draw or on paper.
Five mistakes when reading draws
These mistakes lead to bad decisions.
Comparing scores across provinces
A score of 60 in one province is not a score of 60 in another.
Chasing one draw
Draws change fast. Look at the trend, not one round.
Ignoring the stream
A draw for health care does not help a tech worker.
Letting your EOI expire
An expired profile means you miss every draw.
Trusting old tables
Use the update date at the top of each table.
