Next Draw Type Prediction
How Draw Type Prediction Works
Our draw type prediction analyzes historical patterns to predict which type of Express Entry draw is most likely next:
- Sequential Patterns: What draw type typically follows another (e.g., PNP → CEC)
- Temporal Patterns: How often each draw type occurs (e.g., Healthcare every 4 weeks)
- Cyclic Patterns: Repeating sequences of draws
- Overdue Detection: Identifies when a draw type is "overdue" based on historical frequency
Note: This is a pattern-based prediction and not guaranteed. IRCC determines draw schedules independently.

EXPECTED AROUND
Aug 31, 2026
Last: 7 days ago
Why this prediction?
- Historically, FRENCH is followed by PNP 13.5% of the time (occurred 10 times)
- PNP expected around 2026-08-31 based on 14-day average interval
- Matches repeating cycle: FRENCH→PNP (occurred 9 times)
- Matches repeating cycle: CEC→FRENCH→PNP (occurred 8 times)
- Matches repeating cycle: PNP→CEC→FRENCH→PNP (occurred 8 times)
Draw Score Prediction (Canadian Experience Class Only)
How Our Prediction Works
Our Express Entry CRS score prediction uses a sophisticated algorithm that considers multiple factors:
- Historical Data Analysis: We analyze patterns from past draws to identify trends.
- Pool Distribution: Current candidate distribution in the Express Entry pool.
- Seasonal Adjustments: Different times of year can affect CRS scores.
- Error Pattern Correction: We learn from previous prediction errors to improve accuracy.
- Volatility Analysis: Recent score fluctuations are factored into our confidence intervals.

Estimated Pool Distribution (500-600 CRS Range)
Notice
This is our estimation for the detailed breakdown of candidates in the 500-600 CRS score range. IRCC only provides the total count for this range, not the detailed distribution by individual scores.
Our algorithm estimates this distribution based on historical patterns, statistical modeling, and score trends. The actual distribution could be very different from our estimation.

Consecutive Draw Simulator
Forecast CRS scores across multiple consecutive draws
Disclaimer: This prediction is based on historical CEC draw patterns and current Express Entry pool data. Immigration policies may change without notice, and actual scores may vary. Our system is optimized for CEC draws only (not PNP, French language, etc.) and is continuously improving as it learns from new data. Recent policy changes and irregular patterns may temporarily affect prediction accuracy.

How the Simulator Works
The Consecutive Draw Simulator helps you forecast CRS score trajectories when IRCC conducts multiple CEC draws in succession.
What it does:
- Simulates how the pool depletes after each draw
- Accounts for pool growth between draws
- Considers monthly score jumps (work experience milestones)
- Predicts CRS cutoff for each draw in the series
This is a simulation tool for planning purposes. Results are estimates based on current pool data and may vary from actual outcomes.
