“Typical gap” is the median across the last twelve rounds of each type. The median rather than the mean, because IRCC has paused and resumed rounds more than once and a single long gap would distort an average.

Cutoffs over time

Over the last 12 french-language proficiency rounds, IRCC has held one every 26 days on average. The gap has ranged from 13 to 51 days.

How to read this: IRCC decides each round’s timing, size and cutoff as a matter of policy. A steady fortnightly cadence has been broken before, without notice. Nothing on this page forecasts the next round — it records what has already happened.
