How to read the table
- Program: the round type. Provincial Nominee Program rounds invite candidates with a provincial nomination. Canadian Experience Class and French-language rounds invite everyone in those groups who meets the cutoff. Category-based rounds, such as trades, invite candidates with work experience in that category.
- Lowest CRS: the Comprehensive Ranking System score of the last candidate invited in that round. Candidates scoring below it were not invited.
- Change in CRS: the difference from the most recent earlier round of the exact same type. It reads “n/a” when IRCC has changed the round’s name and there is no earlier match.
- For the official notice of any round, use IRCC’s rounds of invitations page.
What to watch
Analysis. IRCC’s points changes take effect on November 3, 2026, and IRCC says invitation rounds will pause while it recalculates scores. The first round after that pause will show how the new points move cutoffs. Status of the pause: Expected. We follow the changes on our Express Entry points changes tracker.
