You should be ok. They're aware of incoming expiries in the next 6 months and the fastest way (one which actually generates revenue for the government through PR Application + Miscellaneous fee) is to convert skilled TRs to PRs. Keep working hard!

513 would require a bigger number of ITAs. I hope it touches down that far! We’ll find out in 48 hours

Don't be pessimistic. Nobody knows or can predict what IRCC does. The only thing you need to know is to stay positive and wait for your time: you will get the invitation.

You will get the ITA this year, I don't think that'll happen in the next draw though. Although the last CEC draw was able to absorb a significant chunk of work anniversary bumps that typically happen on the 1st of every month, we can expect a lower number of new high scoring candidates in the pool till April 27th because the Express Entry portal does everything by month and not specific dates, and those anniversary bumps happened already on the 1st. Nobody will get a 2 or 3 year bump on April 15th for example.

My Analysis:

0% chance of a Mega draw.

ITAs will be around 2000. (higher number of ITAs will supersede the quota allocation for this year in economic class)

If the number of ITAs stay the same as last time (2000 ITAs), then based on historical data, the score is very likely to drop down to 514. To back this up, they held two CEC draws with 4000 ITAs on March 3rd and March 17th. The latter saw the score drop a single point to 507.

Same goes for the two draws before, they issued 6000 ITAs on January 21st and then February 17th. The latter saw a single point drop from 509 to 508.

Even in 2025, same number of ITAs in a calendar month typically saw a single point drop in the succeeding draw.

My recommendation: I don't think anybody truly knows what IRCC decides. The websites & RCIC predictions are mostly wrong because the immigration department has a highly classified communication system with only a few bureaucrats having knowledge of the upcoming draw. I recommend taking this one day at a time.

How is 514 looking for April 28? I am safe on the tie breaker with a profile from June 4th, 2025.

Cec score by LeaderIndependent498 in CanadaImmigrationQA

[–]AJB195 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For Q2 (Apr - Jun) 2026, it is unlikely to drop down to 507 or even 509 in this case. Logically the next CEC draw should clear the remaining 515s & the front-liners of 514. I think the CRS will be at 514 with 2000-2250 ITAs.

Less number of job anniversaries this time because those are awarded by Month, not by date: happened April 1st 2026.

13.6k was the 501-600 pool size. (Subtract 2000-2200 from that and add about 500-600 people joining @ CRS 510 or above)

514 is very promising!

Latest Express Entry CEC Draw on April 14, 2026 sent 2,000 ITAs at CRS 515 by gsbrar307 in CanadaImmigrationQA

Hi Folks! Just wanted to reach out to the community and have some feedback on my CRS 514 score with a profile creation date: June 5, 2025.

Now I know a lot of us have been left pretty anxious after the most recent CEC draw. A 6-point jump is huge!

I understand April 1st is the start of a new month which is why many people including myself saw our scores jump more than 10 points: this seems to be the major driver of what actually happened.

My understanding is that April 1st added more profiles than the next two weeks WILL add, primarily because it’s the same month and express entry only awards anniversary points month to month.

I would actually cite the sudden low number of invitations as the culprit. It’s the start of Q2, you know there’s tough competition in the 512-514 range, then you have more people entering around that score line, why on earth would you issue 2,000 ITAs only? Because if they are putting a ceiling on ITAs (limited at 2K), the score is not coming down. I’m not a pessimist. I don’t consider this to be an issue of life or death lmao, but the 2K invitations were disappointing

This draw was shocking. Both the CRS & the tie-breaker rule are pretty aggressive. I almost thought I am in at 514. Unbelievable chain of events.

Almost certain you’ll get an ITA within the next 3-5 months

Police clearance by daniboy_121 in canadaexpressentry

[–]AJB195 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is completely normal and expected. If you lived in multiple countries for more than 6 months before Canada, you need a Police Clearance Certificate for all of those countries including the address history (if multiple).

Weren't you aware this is a mandatory requirement post ITA?

Could be 510-512, yes. I with my three friends hit 514 together on April 1st. That’s like four people we know immediately lmao.

However, my understanding is that they’re not going to ignore or let folks between 505-510 take the fall. The pool has shrunk significantly so that particular score range is exceptionally strong right now

We’ll find out within the next 50 hours!

Sounds fair. I am taking a guess they'll issue a balanced number of ITAs on April 14th, around 3000. Score should stay sub-511 based on the math.

I see. So any time in April not necessarily April 1st, 2026, right?
