Sources
Every official figure on DrawSnapshot comes from the program that published it: IRCC’s rounds of invitations and Ministerial Instructions for Express Entry; the AAIP processing-information page for Alberta; the BC PNP invitations page for British Columbia; MPNP’s official draw posts for Manitoba; and the corresponding official pages for other provinces as their hubs are added. Each card and table names and links its source.
Methodology
Draws are recorded exactly as published: date, stream, score system, minimum score and invitations issued. Where an official post leaves a figure unpublished, we write “Not published” — we never estimate, interpolate, or borrow a number from a third-party site. When an official page corrects a figure, we correct ours and note the correction on the page.
Official vs. community
Two kinds of data live on this site and they are never blended. OFFICIAL data (navy badge, shield icon) is republished government data. COMMUNITY data (amber badge, people icon) is self-reported by applicants, is shown with its report count and reporting period, and is never included in official tables. Community data reflects voluntary submissions and may not represent all applicants in the pool.
Corrections
If you spot a figure that disagrees with its official source, the official source is right and we will fix ours. Correction notes are kept on the affected page.
What DrawSnapshot is not
DrawSnapshot is not affiliated with the Government of Canada or any provincial government. It does not provide legal advice, does not assess anyone’s eligibility, and never predicts future draws or cut-offs.
