@CitImmCanada - 1.2M followers on X
Measured over 72 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 31, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 98 interactions against 1.2M followers, an engagement rate of 0.008%. Measured over 72 original posts, its engagement rate beats 32% of 3,862 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 62K times each, and 0.157% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 5.28% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.5 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 72 posts sampled, 39% carry an image or video and 89% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 24K interactions, about 233x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #expressentry, #frcan, #irccexplains.

Compared with accounts its own size
IRCC's engagement rate beats 32% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,862 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 13% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.
Where this sits in the catalog
At 0.008%, IRCC sits above the 10th percentile of the 37,582 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.012%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 13:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Canada is reforming the International Student Program to make it more sustainable and secure. Since 2023, we have taken steps to strengthen the integrity of the program. This includes reducing overall student volumes, requiring verification of every letter of acceptance, raising financial requirements for students, and ending the Student Direct Stream. These changes are having an impact: between January and May 2026, there were 83% fewer new international student arrivals than during the same period in 2024. Get the facts: https://t.co/lh6Tfi3ieD

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 98 interactions against 1.2M followers, an engagement rate of 0.008%. Measured over 72 original posts, its engagement rate beats 32% of 3,862 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 62K times each, and 0.157% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 5.28% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.5 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week.

- What is IRCC's engagement rate on X?
- IRCC (@CitImmCanada) has an engagement rate of 0.008%, based on the median interactions across 72 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,183,267 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.008%, IRCC sits above the 10th percentile of the 37,582 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @CitImmCanada have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 32% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,862 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @CitImmCanada post?
- Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.5 posts per day across the measured window.
