What are program-specific Express Entry draws?
Unlike a general or a category-based selection, a program-specific round of invitations invites candidates eligible for a specific Express Entry program.
For example, the #296 Express Entry draw is a program-specific draw exclusively for candidates with a provincial nomination.
The IRCC has announced a program-specific draw after more than a year. The last round of invitations exclusively for provincial nominees was announced on 24th October 2023.
