How it compares
Against round #366 (September 15, 2025), where the cut-off was 746, the minimum score climbed by 109 points. Invitations went up by 63 (from 228). The gap was 14 days; the last 10 rounds under this program have averaged 13 days apart.
Across the last 10 rounds under this program, this is the highest cut-off of the set (the range is 726 to 855). In volume terms it lands mid-range: those rounds average 265 invitations, between 125 and 503. Widening out to the last 10 Express Entry rounds of every kind, cut-offs ran from 446 to 855.
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
This round reached every profile that was in the pool and qualifying under Provincial Nominee Program on September 29, 2025 and scored 855 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. We do not use these numbers to predict the next round. What a round closes at depends on the pool on that date and on the instructions in force, so this figure describes what happened and nothing more.
- 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.
