What it means for your profile
Getting an invitation in this round took a CRS score of 772 or above, in the pool and qualifying under Provincial Nominee Program on September 2, 2025. Scoring under the cut-off changes nothing about a profile — it remains in the pool for twelve months and enters every round it is eligible 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.
