What this means

In the 15 Oct 2026 round, Biotechnologist was invited at 90 points, for EOIs that reached 90 on or before 09/02/2026. People on more points were invited first. Someone on 90 points whose EOI reached that score after the tie-break date was not invited in that round.

Rounds run when Home Affairs decides, and the cut-off can move up or down. Use this as a past guide only: it isn't a prediction of the next round.
