How we classify status

Open — accepting applications or expressions of interest now.
Limited intake — open, but with a short window, a cap, a restricted group or a reduced allocation.
Paused — temporarily not accepting new applications, with no confirmed restart date.
Closed / replaced — ended. When a successor exists, its page says so.

Job offer and Express Entry columns

"Job offer" shows whether the stream requires one. "EE" marks streams that work through an Express Entry profile, where a nomination adds 600 CRS points.
