Open Data

The datasets behind the tools, published as JSON and CSV. Every row is checked against the official government source, every file carries the date it was last verified, and all of it is free to reuse with attribution.

What this is

Where this data comes from

ClearToEnter keeps three datasets that people ask for constantly and that nobody publishes in a usable shape: Express Entry rounds of invitations, provincial nominee draws, and IRCC processing times. Each one is typed by hand from the official government page, checked line by line, and stamped with the date that check happened.

The stamp is the point. A dataset with no verification date is a dataset you cannot reason about. Each file below carries its own date in the export itself, in a meta block at the top of the JSON and in a comment header at the top of the CSV, so the number travels with the data instead of living only on this page. The JSON envelope carries dataset, description, verifiedAsOf, source, license, attributionUrl, rowCount, and columns above the rows; the CSV repeats dataset, verifiedAsOf, source, license, and attributionUrl as comment lines above the header row.

These are snapshots, not live feeds. Government pages change, and a figure that was right on the verified date can be wrong a week later. Treat the exports as a convenient copy of what the official source said on a specific day, and check the official page before you act on anything.

Three files, not thirty, on purpose. These are the ones people ask for and nobody publishes cleanly. The rest of what the site verifies, the visa and eTA lists, the fee schedules, the funds thresholds, the law text, the NOC codes, is held to the same standard and listed on the How We Verify ledger; it ships here when there is a clean export shape for it, not before.

118

Express Entry rounds of invitations in the export, one row per round IRCC has published, from round 330 to round 447.

The datasets

Three files held to one standard

Express Entry draws

118 rounds

One row per round of invitations IRCC has published: draw number, date, round type (general, CEC, PNP, French, category-based), CRS cutoff, and invitations issued. It holds the full history the site keeps, most recent first.

Verified

PNP draws

133 rounds

One row per provincial round: province, stream, date, provincial score minimum, and invitations issued. Provincial scores are not CRS scores and do not compare across provinces. Where a province suppresses a small count, the published phrase is kept instead of a made-up number.

Processing times

31 programs

A snapshot of IRCC’s published times: program, category, online and paper estimates, and the reason a row is an estimate rather than a straight IRCC figure. Streams that are not in IRCC’s tool at all are flagged as such, never dressed up as official.

The API

Open endpoints without an API key

Every dataset above is served from a public endpoint with cross-origin reads allowed from any site. Anyone can call it without an API key, a signup or a rate-limit tier. Call it from a browser, a notebook, or a build script. Add ?format=csv for CSV and ?download=1 for a file download instead of an inline response. The endpoints are GET only, and the same verification date the page shows travels in the response.

The licence

Free to use with a visible credit

You may use, share, republish, chart, and build on these datasets, commercially or not, as long as you do the following.

Suggested attribution

Data: ClearToEnter.ca, verified [date]

  • Credit us with a visible link

    Say the data comes from ClearToEnter and include a working link to cleartoenter.ca that a reader can click. A credit buried in a footer is fine; a credit that nobody can follow is not.

  • Do not imply endorsement

    Using the data does not mean we reviewed, approved, or partnered with your project. Do not present it as though we did.

  • Keep the verification date attached

    The verified-on date is part of the data. If you republish figures without it, readers cannot tell whether they are looking at something current.

  • Do not present it as advice

    This is educational data about published government figures. It is neither immigration advice nor an official government feed. It should never be presented as either.

No warranty

The data is provided as is. We check it carefully and correct errors quickly, but we cannot guarantee it is free of mistakes, and government sources change without notice. For any decision that matters, verify the figure on the official source linked beside each dataset above.

Embed

Put the latest draws on your site

A small, self-contained card showing the five most recent Express Entry rounds and the date the data was verified. The widget is a separate document with its own stylesheet and nothing else. None of our scripts run on your page. The card carries no cookies, site chrome, fonts, service worker or analytics. It is the only page on this site served under a policy that permits any site to frame it. Paste the snippet anywhere HTML is allowed.

Embed code
<iframe src="https://cleartoenter.ca/embed/ee-draws" width="420" height="460" style="border:0;border-radius:12px" title="Express Entry draws, verified by ClearToEnter"></iframe>

The credit line at the bottom of the card is required and must stay visible and clickable. That link is the whole price of the widget.

This is the real widget, loaded from this site. It updates whenever the draw data is re-verified, so once the snippet is on your page there is nothing to maintain.
