What this round selects
A category-based round selects from a slice of the pool. A profile has to qualify for a federal program and meet the extra requirements IRCC sets for that category to be eligible for it. This category covers occupations in health care and social services.
What it means for your profile
This round reached every profile that was in the pool and inside the healthcare and social services category on October 15, 2025 and scored 472 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. No forecast is attached to these figures. A cut-off reflects the pool as it stood that day and the instructions in force, which is why we publish the record and leave the prediction out.
