Will a CRS of 0 get an invitation?

Nobody can tell you what IRCC will do next — rounds are policy decisions, not a pattern. What we can do is show you exactly how a score like yours has actually fared.

Where you sit in the pool

On 3 August 2026, the last time IRCC published the pool, 229,100 candidates scored 0 or higher, out of 229,100 in the pool. That puts a score of 0 ahead of about under 0.1% of everyone waiting.

IRCC publishes the pool in score bands and this score falls in the 0–300 band, which held 7,683 candidates. Everyone in a band is assumed to be spread evenly across it, so the figure is precise to within those 301 points — no further.

How to read this: These are historical figures. IRCC sets each round’s size, category and cutoff as a policy decision — it has changed all three without notice. A score that cleared ten rounds running can miss the next one, and one that has never qualified can be invited tomorrow if a category round suits it.
