How it compares
Against round #410 (April 14, 2026) and its cut-off of 515, the minimum score dropped by 1 point. The number of invitations was identical, at 2,000. That is 14 days after the previous one, where the recent average across 10 rounds under this program is 15 days.
It sits inside the usual range for these rounds: the last 10 rounds under this program span 507 to 520 points, averaging 512. By volume it is the smallest of the set, which runs from 2,000 to 8,000 invitations. So far in 2026 there have been 8 rounds under this program, adding up to 34,250 invitations including this round. Widening out to the last 10 Express Entry rounds of every kind, cut-offs ran from 393 to 802.
What it means for your profile
This round reached every profile that was in the pool and qualifying under Canadian Experience Class on April 28, 2026 and scored 514 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. We do not use these numbers to predict the next round. What a round closes at depends on the pool on that date and on the instructions in force, so this figure describes what happened and nothing more.
- 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.

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.
