What it means

The cutoff rose 60 points from the previous provincial nominee program round on 16 March 2026. A higher cutoff usually means either a smaller round or a pool that has grown at the top. The lowest this category has ever gone is 663, on 19 June 2024.

At the time of the round, 233 candidates in the pool scored 802 or higher, out of 230,186 in total — so this round reached roughly the top 0% of the pool.
