Express Entry draw history: every cutoff in one chart

IRCC has held 435 rounds of invitations since 31 January 2015, issuing 1,030,671 invitations in total. This page updates itself every time a new round is published — it is generated from the same table the rest of the site runs on.

The extremes

The highest general cutoff on record is 886, on 31 January 2015. The lowest cutoff of any round is 75, in the canadian experience class round on 13 February 2021 — a reminder that the general cutoff is not the only number that matters.
