About

Canadian invitation results are spread across more than a dozen government sites, in different formats and on unpredictable schedules. This site gathers them in one place, collects them on a fixed schedule during official business hours, and keeps the original source for every record.

Every record here comes from an official page, and each one carries a link back to its source. The full list is below. These pages are checked every couple of hours through the working day, so new announcements usually show up here soon after they are published.

• Revisions are kept: When an official source revises an invitation count or cut-off score, we mark it as a data revision and list it on the update timeline.
• “Not published” is not zero: Where an invitation count or score has not been published, this site shows “Not published” rather than 0, so that trend charts are not distorted.

The data compiled here is published under CC BY 4.0: anyone may use, adapt and redistribute it, including commercially, as long as they credit this site and link back.

One thing worth being precise about: what is licensed is our compilation — the selection and arrangement of the records, the Chinese names, and the explanatory text. The underlying facts (draw dates, invitations issued, cut-off scores) are published by federal and provincial governments. Facts are not copyrightable and are not ours to license; you can always check them against the official page cited on each record. Quoting official text is governed by the terms of those pages.

This site does not collect names, email addresses or any other identifying information. It does not record visitors’ IP addresses and does not use cookies.

When you fill in a score calculator completely, the site records the options you chose (education level, language band, target region and so on) and the score they produce. None of it identifies a person. Filling it in again from the same browser replaces the previous entry, so one person trying different combinations is not counted as many people.

Your answers are also kept in your own browser so the form is filled back in next time. That copy stays on your device only; the “Clear” button on the calculator removes it, as does clearing your browser data.

These records are used only to produce anonymous statistics, which may be published or used commercially. Three things are published: the total scores; how many people fall in each score band once grouped by region and by NOC category; and, for the six factors that move a score most (months in position, wage, language, status, Canadian credentials, TEER), how many people chose each option. That third one carries counts only, no scores, so several of them together still cannot reconstruct any one person. No dates, no other factors, no identifiers. Totals are sorted by value so the order says nothing about who submitted when, and grouped figures use 5-point bands rather than exact scores. The sample size is always stated so you can judge for yourself how much the figure is worth.

On traffic statistics: the site counts how often pages are viewed. It stores counts of “date, page, language, country, referring site” and never an individual visit, so there is no notion of “a visitor” in the data. Country is recorded at country level, not city. Referrers are kept down to the page address (a forum thread, say), but everything after the question mark is discarded — that is where search engines put other people’s queries and share links put tokens. No IP addresses, no cookies, and no stitching one person’s activity across pages. Statistics are kept for 25 months.

If a record differs from its official source, follow the link provided with the record and refer to the government page.
