Express Entry Permanent Resident Admissions
How many people actually became Canadian permanent residents through Express Entry — broken down by source country, program (FSW/CEC/FST/PNP), destination province, age, and occupation. Live IRCC monthly data from 2015 to now.
Express Entry admissions, year by year
The line shows how many people Canada admitted as permanent residents through Express Entry each calendar year. 2026 is partial (Feb, Jan) — treat the final point as in-progress.
Which Express Entry program admits the most people?
Stacked yearly admissions across the four Express Entry streams: Federal Skilled Worker (FSW), Canadian Experience Class (CEC), Federal Skilled Trades (FST), and Provincial Nominee Program-aligned (PNP). The mix has shifted dramatically — CEC is now the dominant stream.

About this data
IRCC suppresses cells with counts 0-5 and rounds others to the nearest 5 to protect privacy. Yearly totals here aggregate across provinces and exclude suppressed rows, so they may differ slightly from IRCC's own published yearly aggregates.
Yearly totals aggregate every monthly observation across all provinces and exclude suppressed rows.
