Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) held Express Entry Draw #367 on September 17, 2025. This round targeted candidates in education occupations and issued 2,500 invitations.
Results of Draw #367
- Number of invitations: 2,500
- CRS score cutoff: 462
- Date and time: September 17, 2025 at 15:36:53 UTC
- Tie-breaking rule: July 9, 2025 at 04:24:19 UTC

Eligible Occupations in This Draw
This draw focused on candidates working in education-related roles. Occupations included:
- NOC 42202 – Early childhood educators and assistants
- NOC 43100 – Elementary and secondary school teacher assistants
- NOC 41221 – Elementary school and kindergarten teachers
- NOC 42203 – Instructors of persons with disabilities
- NOC 41220 – Secondary school teachers
Why This Draw Matters
Education plays a key role in Canada’s future. By targeting teachers and educators, IRCC is addressing urgent labour shortages in schools and childcare centers. The CRS cutoff of 462 is lower than many recent program-specific draws, giving more candidates a real opportunity for selection.
What Applicants Should Do Next
If you received an invitation:
- Collect all your documents quickly.
- Submit your application within 60 days.
- Ensure your language test results and proof of funds remain valid.
If your score was above 462 but you were not invited, it may be because of:
- Expired or missing test results
- Incomplete or incorrect profile details
- Tie-breaking rule exclusions
Keeping your Express Entry profile updated improves your chances in the next draw.
Predictions for the Next Express Entry Draw
Recent rounds show that IRCC is alternating between program-specific and category-based draws. The last three draws included French speakers, Canadian Experience Class, and education occupations.
Looking at the 2025 trend, the next draw may be either:
- A Provincial Nominee Program round, likely with a CRS cutoff above 740.
- A category-based draw for health care or trades, with scores in the 460–480 range.
General draws have not been frequent this year, so category-based and PNP rounds are more likely through September. Candidates should expect:
- Timing: Another round within the next one to two weeks.
- Scores: PNP cutoffs to stay high, while category-based draws may fall between 445 and 480.
- Focus areas: Health care, trades, and French speakers remain top priorities.
Applicants should keep their profiles updated and valid, as IRCC continues to issue frequent and targeted invitations.
