What it means for your profile
This round reached every profile that was in the pool and inside the Physicians with Canadian Work Experience, 2026-Version 1 category on June 24, 2026 and scored 223 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. 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.

What this round selects
A category-based round selects from a slice of the pool. A profile has to qualify for a federal program and meet the extra requirements IRCC sets for that category to be eligible for it. IRCC published this round under the category “Physicians with Canadian Work Experience, 2026-Version 1”.
