The volume is mid-table for the set, which averages 4,325 invitations per round (1,000 to 8,000).

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.
What it means for your profile
If your profile was in the pool and qualifying under Canadian Experience Class on March 31, 2026 with a CRS score of 509 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.
