What it means for your profile
Getting an invitation in this round took a CRS score of 531 or above, in the pool and qualifying under Canadian Experience Class on November 26, 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. 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.

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.
