## What the numbers say

- **Category draws run lower** — Category-based rounds cut off at 198–475 over the last 20 draws, while general and CEC rounds held at 516–523 — targeting a category can beat a raw CRS race.
- **A nomination changes everything** — Provincial Nominee rounds cut off at 697–768, because a nomination adds 600 points on top of your base score.
- **20 rounds in 69 days** — That is IRCC's recent cadence, and rounds often land in bursts over consecutive days. Push alerts reach you within ~15 minutes of each one.
- **Know your odds** — The analytics tab places your score against the live trend cutoff and forecast bands, plus your percentile in the pool — free, like the rest of the app.
