The instructions specify:

• the date and time of the invitation round

• the number of candidates that will get an invitation to apply

• the immigration program(s) which are included in the round, e.g., Federal Skilled Workers, Federal Skilled Trades.

If more than one candidate has the lowest score, the cut-off is based on the date and time they submitted their Express Entry profiles.
