Will a CRS of 0 get an invitation?

Nobody can tell you what IRCC will do next — rounds are policy decisions, not a pattern. What we can do is show you exactly how a score like yours has actually fared.

Where you sit in the pool

On 3 August 2026, the last time IRCC published the pool, 229,100 candidates scored 0 or higher, out of 229,100 in the pool. That puts a score of 0 ahead of about 0% of everyone waiting.

IRCC publishes the pool in score bands, so a score inside a band is spread evenly across it. The figure is accurate to within about a ten-point band.

How to read this: These are historical figures. IRCC sets each round’s size, category and cutoff as a policy decision — it has changed all three without notice. A score that cleared ten rounds running can miss the next one, and one that has never qualified can be invited tomorrow if a category round suits it.
