When is the next draw, and what will the cutoff be?

Honestly, nobody knows — and anyone who promises a date or a cutoff number is guessing. IRCC does not pre-announce draws, and cutoffs depend on the pool size, the draw type, and how many invitations are issued. What you can do is watch the pattern: draws have generally happened every couple of weeks. Our live draw tracker updates with every official draw, so you always see the real, current numbers.
