As of the latest draw (September 19th at the time of writing) IRCC has issued 84,874 ITAs through the Express Entry system in 2024.
By the 20th of September in 2023, IRCC had issued 81,948 ITAs.
It's worth noting that the federal allocation of landed immigrants for the Express Entry system has changed from 2023 to 2024. Landings from ITAs issued under the Express Entry system count toward the “Federal High Skilled" allocation in the annual Immigration Levels Plan. In 2023, IRCC expected to welcome 82,800 immigrants through the system. In 2024, the immigration department expects to welcome 110,770 immigrants through Express Entry.

Canada’s Express Entry system has undergone changes in the last two years.
In 2023, Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) introduced category-based selection draws under Express Entry—a policy that allows the immigration department to target candidates that meet the country’s economic and demographic goals.
So, have these changes made a difference in how the Express Entry system invites candidates? The following breaks down Express Entry draws in 2024 so far, compared to the same time in 2023. Though IRCC has issued more Invitations to Apply (ITAs) this year than the same time in 2023, a better analysis requires a deeper look at the data.
What is category-based selection?
Category-based selection draws are a tool IRCC uses for the selection of immigration candidates through Canada’s Express Entry system. They allow IRCC to invite candidates with greater consideration to specific human capital attributes, (namely their professional experience and language abilities), than their Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score.

How many draws has IRCC held through Express Entry this year, compared to the same time last year?
Thus far, IRCC has held 37 draws through the Express Entry system, across nine different categories and streams. The average size of these draws (so far) is 2,294 ITAs, though this varies greatly depending on the category or stream in question.
By the same time last year, IRCC had held 28 draws across eight categories and streams. The average draw size across these draws was 2,927 ITAs, though similarly to 2024 draw sizes varied greatly depending on category and stream selected for.
The disparity in number of draws is partly due to a historic July for the Express Entry system in 2024, wherein IRCC held nine draws—the most draws in a single month since the start of Express Entry in 2015.
