Express Entry draw #367

The cut-off for round #367, held on 17 September 2025, was 462. It was a Education occupations round and it issued 2,500 invitations to apply, 17 points below the previous Education occupations round 20 weeks earlier. Candidates who tied at 462 were ranked by the date they entered the pool, with the cut-off timestamp set at July 09, 2025 at 04:24:19 UTC, which means somebody sitting on exactly that score who submitted their profile after that moment was not invited. That tie-break is the part of a round most people never see, and it is the reason two candidates with identical scores can get different answers on the same day. It is also the argument for submitting a profile as soon as it is genuinely ready, since the ordering it creates costs nothing to be early in. The full record of this round, including the pool as IRCC published it that week, is set out on the rest of this page.

On September 14, 2025, the Express Entry pool held 251,630 candidates. 65,555 of them sat in score bands entirely at or above the 462 cut-off. A further 16,158 sat in the 461-470 band, which the cut-off runs through. IRCC does not publish scores at a finer resolution than these bands, so how many of that middle group actually cleared 462 is not knowable from the published data, by us or by anybody else quoting a precise figure. What the numbers do support is a sense of the shape: how much of the pool was in contention, and how far the round reached into it. Anyone offering an exact count of candidates above a cut-off has estimated it. The bands as IRCC published them for this round are set out below, so you can read your own score against the same distribution the department did rather than against a summary of it.
