“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 provincial nominee program rounds, IRCC has held one every 14 days on average. The gap has ranged from 14 to 28 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.
