What this round means

This category-based round targeted candidates with Canadian work experience in the group identified by IRCC. Category eligibility matters as much as the CRS score.

A published cut-off describes this completed round; it is not a forecast or an invitation for every person with the same score. IRCC can change the type, size and timing of future rounds.

What to check in your profile

• Confirm that your Express Entry profile is accurate and remains valid.
• Check that your work history, language results and education evidence support the points claimed.
• For a category-based round, verify the current category requirements on IRCC’s official page.
• If you receive an ITA, follow the document instructions and deadline in your account.
