How the Rounds Work
The immigration system follows a strict process for every draw. Officials complete four steps to issue invitations.
- We choose the type of round we’ll hold.
- We decide the number of candidates we need to invite.
- We identify the highest-ranking candidates from the pool who are eligible for the chosen round type.
- We invite these candidates to apply for permanent residence.
Types of Rounds of Invitations
The government holds different types of rounds of invitations throughout the year. You must be eligible for one of the three programs managed through Express Entry to be placed in the pool.
General Rounds of Invitations
We invite top-ranking candidates in the pool who are eligible for one of the three programs managed through Express Entry.
Program-Specific Rounds of Invitations
We invite top-ranking candidates who are eligible for a specific Express Entry program. For example, a round specifically for the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) only invites candidates eligible for the PNP.
Category-Based Rounds of Invitations
The Minister establishes a category to meet a specific economic goal. We then invite top-ranking candidates in the pool who are eligible for this category.
Candidates with a Provincial or Territorial Nomination
We’ll continue to invite candidates with a provincial or territorial nomination through general and Provincial Nominee Program-specific rounds.
