How it compares

The minimum score was unchanged from round #375 (October 28, 2025), which also closed at 533. The gap was 15 days; the last 9 rounds under this program have averaged 23 days apart. IRCC issued exactly the same number of invitations as last time, 1,000.

That is a typical figure for the set — the last 9 rounds under this program run from 518 to 547, with an average of 531. The volume is mid-table for the set, which averages 1,611 invitations per round (500 to 3,000). Across the last 10 rounds of any kind, the cut-offs sat between 416 and 855.

What it means for your profile

If your profile was in the pool and qualifying under Canadian Experience Class on November 12, 2025 with a CRS score of 533 or more, this round would have reached you. A score below the cut-off does not remove your profile: an Express Entry profile stays in the pool for twelve months and is automatically considered in every round it qualifies 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.

  • 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.
  • All Express Entry draws — the live history with charts and filters, updated as each new round is published.

What this round selects

The Canadian Experience Class is one of the three federal programs Express Entry manages, and it is for people who already have skilled work experience gained inside Canada. A CEC round invites only profiles that qualify under that program.
