🟡
Express Entry Rounds Canada no longer runs general FSW rounds. Current rounds: Canadian Experience Class (cutoff 507-520, requires Canadian work experience), Provincial Nominee Program (710-789, but PNP nomination adds +600 points), French proficiency (393-400), and Healthcare categories (467-476). Your eligible round type depends on your profile. Use the official CRS calculator: ircc.canada.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp

Canada Reduced PR Targets Canada reduced permanent residence admission targets from 480,000 to 395,000 in 2025 and further to 380,000 in 2026. Competition is increasing — apply as soon as your profile is competitive. Source: IRCC Supplementary Immigration Levels 2025-2027.
