On January 7, 2026, Canada conducted an Express Entry draw, issuing a total of 8,000 invitations to apply for permanent residency. Candidates with a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 511 were included in this round, allowing them to proceed with their applications.

For this draw, a tie-breaking rule was applied; candidates who submitted their Express Entry profiles before June 10, 2025, at 15:59:25 UTC were prioritized in the event of ties. This ensures that earlier applicants are given preference when multiple candidates have the same CRS score.
