After nearly four weeks without a draw, IRCC held four Express Entry rounds from June 22 to 25, issuing 9,226 ITAs.
What happened
In June 2026, after nearly four weeks without a draw following May 28, IRCC held four Express Entry rounds from June 22 to 25, issuing a total of 9,226 invitations to apply (ITAs) for permanent residence.
June 22, Provincial Nominee Program: 955 ITAs, minimum CRS 730. June 23, Canadian Experience Class (CEC): 4,000 ITAs, minimum CRS 516. June 24, Physicians with Canadian Work Experience: 271 ITAs, minimum CRS 223. June 25, Healthcare and Social Services Occupations: 4,000 ITAs, minimum CRS 475.
Who is affected
The CEC round was larger than the 3,000-invitation round on May 27, with a similar cut-off (516, down from 518). The PNP cut-off fell from 805 on May 25 to 730 (a provincial nomination adds 600 points). The physicians round was the second in that category, after one on February 19, 2026. There was no French-language draw in June; the last one, on May 28, had a cut-off of 409.
What to do
Candidates with Canadian work experience and scores around 500 should keep watching CEC rounds. People in healthcare and social services jobs should check that their occupation code is on the category list. Draw timing and categories do not follow a fixed schedule, so keeping your profile accurate and your language results and work history up to date matters more than guessing the next round.
