About the Comprehensive Ranking System

Introduction

Under the popular Express Entry System for skilled immigration to Canada, the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) is an essential determining factor for assessing an immigrant's chances of receiving an invitation for Canadian permanent residency. This system operates as a point-based evaluation, helping candidates understand their eligibility to immigrate to Canada.

Factors Influencing CRS Scores

CRS scores can be calculated using a CRS calculator by entering information for various factors, including:

- Age

- Educational Qualification

- Professional Work Experience

- Language Proficiency

- Spousal Factors (if applicable)

- Additional Skills/Considerable Factors (such as Canadian education or experience)

Additional factors can significantly impact the CRS scores and rankings, influencing the likelihood of being invited in the Canada Express Entry draws. Key additional factors include:

- Canadian Qualifications (Degree/Diploma, etc.)

- Exceptional IELTS Score (CLB 9 or above)

- Valid Job Offer from a Canadian Employer

- Provincial Nomination (Gives additional 600 points)

- Other Extraordinary Attributes Beneficial to Canada

Applicants who achieve a score exceeding the CRS cut-off are invited to apply for the Canada PR Visa. It is crucial for applicants to maintain accurate and honest information throughout the process and to have an active Express Entry profile.

Categories Under Express Entry System

The Express Entry System evaluates candidates across three major categories:

- Federal Skilled Worker

- Federal Skilled Trades

- Canadian Experience Class

Each category has specific qualifications, and applicants are assessed based on the information provided in their Express Entry profile.

Structure of the CRS System

The Comprehensive Ranking System in Express Entry is a pool of up to 1200 points, broadly classified as follows:

- Core Human Capital (Skills/Education/Experience): 500 points

- Skills Transferability: 100 points

- Other Factors: 600 points

For single applicants without spousal factors, the points break down as:

- Core Human Capital (Skills/Education/Experience): 500 points

- Skills Transferability: 100 points

- Valid Job Offer: 200 points

- Provincial Nomination: 600 points

For applicants with a spouse or common-law partner, the primary applicant's scores are as follows:

- Core Human Capital of Principal Applicant (Skills/Education/Experience): 460 points

- Core Human Capital of Partner (Skills/Education/Experience): 40 points

- Skills Transferability: 100 points

- Provincial Nomination: 600 points

Legitimate Ways to Improve CRS Scores

Given the importance of CRS scores in obtaining Canadian permanent residency, applicants are often motivated to enhance their scores. Some methods to improve CRS scores include:

 Improving IELTS Scores

Through diligent preparation and practice, applicants can improve their IELTS scores, significantly boosting their CRS scores.

 Securing a Job Offer from Canada

Though challenging, obtaining a valid job offer from a Canadian employer can substantially increase CRS scores. Only LMIA-approved job offers are considered by Canadian immigration authorities.

 Pursuing Higher Education

Obtaining a Master's degree or a Canadian degree can enhance CRS scores and improve prospects for provincial nomination. Some provinces prioritize former international students for their immigration programs.

 Choosing the Right Primary Applicant

Selecting the right primary applicant can positively impact the overall profile. The primary applicant should ideally have favourable factors such as lower age, higher education, and better IELTS scores.

 Getting Provincial Nomination

Provincial nominations add 600 points to the CRS score and can be a decisive factor in receiving an invitation for permanent residency. Provinces often invite candidates whose skills are in demand locally. For instance, the British Columbia Tech Pilot Program seeks tech professionals for the province.
