Today, a new Express Entry draw sent out 1,391 invitations to apply (ITAs) for permanent residency, marking the third consecutive week of IRCC holding rounds of invitations.

The Express Entry draw today targeted all the candidates in the pool with a provincial nomination and a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 670 or above.

Since it is Tuesday and this is a PNP-only draw, we might see more draw(s) in the upcoming days of this week, and there are high chances that it can be for Canadian Experience Class (CEC) or STEM.
