How it compares
Against round #372 (October 14, 2025) and its cut-off of 778, the minimum score dropped by 17 points. The gap was 13 days; the last 10 rounds under this program have averaged 14 days apart. It was a smaller round by 43 invitations — the previous one issued 345.
That is a typical figure for the set — the last 10 rounds under this program run from 739 to 855, with an average of 773. The volume is mid-table for the set, which averages 289 invitations per round (192 to 503). Across the last 10 rounds of any kind, the cut-offs sat between 432 and 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
Getting an invitation in this round took a CRS score of 761 or above, in the pool and qualifying under Provincial Nominee Program on October 27, 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.
