Invitations in 2026 so far

Across 65 rounds, up to Oct 28, 2026

Federal rounds (CEC, FSW, FST and categories)138,595
2026 Federal High Skilled admissions target: 109,000127% of the target

The 10,814 invitations in PNP rounds count toward the separate PNP target of 91,500, which also covers nominees outside Express Entry.

Invitations are not admissions. An invitation goes to one candidate and is not permanent residence; the admissions target counts people who actually become permanent residents, including spouses and children. Some invited candidates don't apply or are refused, and many people admitted this year were invited last year. So the two numbers can't be compared one to one.

Target: IRCC, 2026–2028 Immigration Levels Plan (range 85,000 to 120,000). Invitations: IRCC rounds of invitations, updated hourly. Levels plan on canada.ca
