What this means
A cut-off applies only to the round it was published for. Candidates below it are not rejected — they stay in the pool and may be invited in a later round, in a different category, or through a provincial nomination. Cut-offs also differ sharply by round type, so comparing a French-language cut-off with a Provincial Nominee cut-off is misleading.
