The 10 July 2026 Express Entry draw held by IRCC invited 500 senior managers with Canadian work experience. Candidates with a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 392 and who submitted their profiles before March 15, 2026, at 1:46 a.m. UTC were considered for the draw.
This is the second Express Entry draw for senior managers since the category was introduced. The CRS cut-off has dropped from 429 in the first draw to 392, making this round more accessible to eligible candidates. Furthermore, the invitations have increased from 250 in the first draw to 500 in the latest round. The reduced score and increased number of invitations point toward the continued efforts to retain skilled professionals who are already contributing to the Canadian economy.
IRCC has conducted 38 Express Entry draws in 2026 so far, and has issued more than 92,000 ITAs across the different draw types. The Express Entry draws of 2026 have mostly prioritized candidates with Canadian work experience or provincial nominations in Canada.
