How it compares
This is the first draw of this program inside the window this page covers, so there is nothing of the same kind to compare it against. The previous draw of Express Entry, of any kind, was 10 days earlier.
What this round selects
A Provincial Nominee Program round inside Express Entry invites only profiles that already hold a nomination from a province. A nomination adds 600 points to the CRS, so these rounds move in a range of their own and do not compare with the rest.
What it means for your profile
If your profile was in the pool and qualifying under Provincial Nominee Program on May 12, 2025 with a CRS score of 706 or more, this round would have reached you. A score below the cut-off does not remove your profile: an Express Entry profile stays in the pool for twelve months and is automatically considered in every round it qualifies for. This page does not forecast where the next cut-off will land. Each round depends on how many profiles are in the pool at the time and on the instructions in force that day, so a past cut-off is a record, not a target.
- Immigration evaluation — we work out your CRS score, check which programs and categories you are eligible for, and tell you what is missing. If your profile does not qualify, we say so before you pay.
