How often rounds happen

By round type: how many rounds on record, the median gap over the last twelve, how long since the last one, and what that last one cut off at.

“Typical gap” is the median across the last twelve rounds of each type. The median rather than the mean, because IRCC has paused and resumed rounds more than once — the longest break it has ended in general rounds ran 560 days — and a single long gap would distort an average. A pause still running is not in these figures at all; the “Last one” column is where to see it.

Cutoffs over time

IRCC has not held a general round in 892 days. Over the last 12 general rounds before that it held one typically every 13 days. The gap has ranged from 8 to 57 days.

How to read this: IRCC decides each round’s timing, size and cutoff as a matter of policy. A steady fortnightly cadence has been broken before, without notice. Nothing on this page forecasts the next round — it records what has already happened.
