After a quiet April, Express Entry draws have seen an uptick in activity over the month of May. In May, there were over 2,511 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) issued across four draws, more than double the number of ITAs issued the month prior. Today, we will discuss the state of the Express Entry pool as of June 2025.

So, without further ado, let us begin!

What Draws Took Place In May 2025? 

The first thing to note under the state of the Express Entry pool as of June 2025 is the draws that took place in the month of May. 

Well, May has been a busy month for Express Entry draws. 

Not only was there a return to four draws over the course of the month, but IRCC also held a CEC draw after a three-month hiatus. 

Notably, IRCC also held the first-ever Education category-based selection draw and the first Healthcare and social services category-based selection draw of 2025. 

The number of ITAs issued and the Comprehensive Ranking System cut-off scores for all the May draws can be viewed in the table below:

May 2, 2025Healthcare and Social Services occupations500510
May 12, 2025Provincial Nominee Program511706
May 13, 2025Canadian Experience Class500547

While the number of ITAs issued in total is more than double that of ITAs issued in April, it is still significantly lower than the number issued in January, February, and March. 

MonthITAs issued
January, 20255,821
February, 202511,601
March 202513,261
April, 20251,246
May, 20252,511

The May draws also broke the pattern seen in March and April that heavily alternated between the French proficiency draws and the Provincial Nominee Program draws.

Methodology: The percentile scores in the table above were calculated based on the highest CRS score in each range. These percentiles show what percentage of applicants have a score at or below that level.

To make things easier to understand, percentiles are shown as ranges. This means that applicants with scores within a certain CRS range fall somewhere between the two percentile values listed.
