How to read this
If you're only eligible for Canadian Experience Class rounds, you'd have needed about 518–519. If you qualify for a category such as French, trades or transport, recent cut-offs were much lower. Provincial Nominee rounds look high only because a nomination adds 600 points.
Common scores
- Below 450: focus on category eligibility (especially French) and the biggest point gains.
- 450–500: above recent trade and transport cut-offs if you're eligible; below Canadian Experience Class rounds.
- 500–520: close to recent Canadian Experience Class cut-offs.
- 520+: above every recent non-nominee cut-off in our period.
Past cut-offs don't guarantee future ones. They change with the number of invitations and who's in the pool.
