How it compares
This is the first draw of this category 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 1 day earlier.
Widening out to the last 10 Express Entry rounds of every kind, cut-offs ran from 475 to 788.
What it means for your profile
This round reached every profile that was in the pool and inside the French-language proficiency category on August 8, 2025 and scored 481 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
Category-based rounds do not draw from the whole pool. IRCC picks one category and invites only the profiles inside it that meet the category’s own requirements, on top of qualifying for a federal program. This category is not occupation-based: it selects profiles that show the minimum French level IRCC requires across all four abilities of the official test.
