That is a typical figure for the set — the last 5 rounds under this program run from 706 to 784, with an average of 742. The volume is mid-table for the set, which averages 354 invitations per round (125 to 511). Across the last 10 rounds of any kind, the cut-offs sat between 504 and 784.
What it means for your profile
This round reached every profile that was in the pool and qualifying under Provincial Nominee Program on July 7, 2025 and scored 750 CRS or higher. Profiles below the line are not removed: they stay in the pool for twelve months and are counted again in each subsequent round they qualify 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.

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.
