Ways to Improve Your CRS Scores

Canada’s Express Entry System is undeniably one of the most popular ways to immigrate to Canada. If you plan to move to Canada, consider applying under their Express Entry program.

However, to apply, you need to meet the eligibility criteria, which means you’ll have to secure a minimum of 67 points out of 100. Your scores primarily depend on your age, work experience, language, education, and other important factors. According to the 2019 Express Entry draw report, the number of Express Entry applicants has continuously increased in recent years, but only 72% are considered eligible.

Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS)

One of the most critical aspects of the Express Entry Program is the CRS, aka Comprehensive Ranking System.

The Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) uses this point-based evaluation system to assess the immigrants listed in the Express Entry Pool. They then issue an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for a PR visa to the eligible candidates.
