Who was eligible for this round?
This round targeted eligible Express Entry candidates with an Express Entry-linked provincial or territorial nomination. Candidates must meet the applicable provincial requirements and qualify for a federal immigration program managed through Express Entry.
An accepted nomination through an Express Entry-linked stream adds 600 CRS points. This explains why PNP-specific cut-offs can be considerably higher than those in other types of rounds.
A nomination through a non-Express Entry stream follows a separate application process. It does not automatically make someone eligible for an Express Entry invitation.

How does the tie-breaking rule work?
When candidates share the lowest invited CRS score, IRCC uses the date and time their profiles were submitted to determine their ranking.
The tie-breaking timestamp matters to candidates at the cut-off. It should not be interpreted as a requirement that every invited candidate submitted a profile before that date.
What changed for applicants?
This update announces a new selection round. It does not announce a new immigration program or a general change to eligibility requirements.
The CRS threshold applies to this PNP round. Applicants should avoid using it to predict the cut-off for a future Canadian Experience Class or category-based round.

What should invited candidates do next?
Check your account and deadline
Sign in to your IRCC account and read your invitation carefully. IRCC states that an invitation to apply is valid for 60 days. Follow the exact deadline shown in your account.
Review eligibility and supporting documents
Confirm that your nomination and profile information remain accurate. Report relevant changes in your circumstances and check whether they affect your eligibility or CRS score.
Use your personalized document checklist to prepare the required evidence. Follow IRCC’s permanent residence application instructions.
An invitation is an opportunity to apply. Permanent residence approval still depends on IRCC’s assessment of the application.
What if you did not receive an invitation?
Keep your profile accurate and monitor official announcements. Review your provincial nomination options and the requirements of programs relevant to your circumstances.
Future draw dates, invitation numbers and CRS thresholds should not be assumed. For assistance reviewing your options, contact Always Canada Group.
