Canadian Express Entry

There are a few ways to improve your Express Entry score:

1. Increase your language ability: The Express Entry system uses language test results to determine your language ability in English or French. The higher your language test scores, the more points you will receive.
2. Get more work experience: The more work experience you have in a skilled occupation, the more points you will receive.
3. Obtain a higher level of education: The higher your level of education, the more points you will receive.
4. Get a job offer: If you have a job offer from a Canadian employer, you may be eligible to receive additional points.
5. Obtain a provincial nomination: If you receive a provincial nomination, you will receive an additional 600 points, which will significantly increase your chances of being invited to apply for permanent residence.

It’s important to note that the specific criteria for each factor can change over time, so it’s a good idea to stay current on the latest requirements and guidelines.

The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) is a points-based system used by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to assess and rank candidates in the Express Entry pool. The CRS score is calculated based on various factors, including age, education, language ability, work experience, and other factors that are believed to contribute to the success of immigrants in Canada.

Candidates in the Express Entry pool are ranked based on their CRS scores, and the highest-ranking candidates are invited to apply for permanent residence through regular invitation rounds. The CRS score determines which candidates will be invited to apply, and the number of points required for an invitation can vary from one round to the next.

The CRS is designed to be a flexible and responsive system. IRCC regularly updates the criteria and points awarded for each factor to target specific immigration goals and labour market needs.
