There's zero information about why there's no draw this week. Poor speculations are plenty, info/news - nope! If you go back till 2015, you'll see there's no consistent rollout of weekly draws. And if they pause, there are rarely any explanations.

Weeks without draws are not unusual. This happens all of the time. There are no explanations ever given.

There is no official information from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) about why there was no Express Entry draw this week. However, there are a few possible reasons.

• The computer glitch that delayed previous draws may not have been fully resolved. In May 2023, IRCC experienced a computer glitch that prevented them from conducting Express Entry draws. This glitch was eventually resolved, but it is possible that there are still some residual issues that need to be addressed.
• IRCC may be adjusting their immigration targets. In the past, IRCC has used Express Entry draws to reach specific immigration targets. It is possible that IRCC is adjusting their immigration targets for 2023, and this may have affected the timing of the draws.

Whatever the reason, it is important to remember that Express Entry draws are not guaranteed. They are held on an ad hoc basis, and IRCC may decide to cancel or postpone a draw at any time.

If you are waiting for an Express Entry draw, I recommend that you continue to monitor the IRCC website for updates. You can also sign up for email alerts from IRCC so that you will be notified when a new draw is announced.
