Express Entry rounds for provincial nominees

Also in the Express Entry pool?

AAIP minimum scores are expression of interest scores, not Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) scores, so they cannot be compared with Express Entry cutoffs. For an Express Entry profile, the CRS calculator estimates a CRS score under the grid in force before November 3, 2026 and under the rules from that date, and compares it with the latest federal cutoffs.
