How to read the results
- Cut-off score: the CRS score of the lowest-ranked person invited in that draw.
- Draw type: some draws invite all programs, others only one program (such as the Canadian Experience Class) or one category (such as French-language or healthcare).
- Your score: how many draws of each type your score would have been invited in, if you were eligible for that type.
The data loads from IRCC’s own published list of rounds, so new draws appear here automatically.
