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.

Most Likely Next
Canadian Experience Class
Last: 22 days ago
Scenario 1
CEC follows regular biweekly cycle
Nov 11, 2026 (Wed)
Based on the normal ~15-day CEC interval from the last CEC draw on Oct 15
Based on 17 historical occurrences
Scenario 2
Extended gap (category draw replaced CEC slot)
Nov 18, 2026 (Wed)
When category draws happen without adjacent CEC, the gap historically averages ~27 days (vs normal ~15 days)
Based on 1 historical occurrence
Why this prediction?
- CEC is overdue - typically occurs every 14.7 days, but it's been 22 days
- Matches repeating cycle: PNP→CEC→FRENCH→PNP (occurred 7 times)
- Matches repeating cycle: PNP→CEC→OTHER→HEALTHCARE (occurred 2 times)
- Matches repeating cycle: PNP→CEC→FRENCH→OTHER (occurred 2 times)
- Matches repeating cycle: FRENCH→PNP→CEC→OTHER→HEALTHCARE (occurred 2 times)
- TRANSPORT draw happened on Oct 28 without an adjacent CEC draw — historically this leads to extended CEC gaps (avg 27 days vs normal 15 days, based on 18 observations)
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.

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.
