About the Comprehensive Ranking System
July 12, 2024Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) Explained
July 12, 2024 Canada
NOC List According to Flynn Immigration
Canada offers numerous opportunities for growth
and prosperity. Every year, Canada welcomes thousands of skilled workers from
various backgrounds to address labor shortages and boost the nation's economy.
Known for its liberal immigration policies, remarkable career opportunities,
and favorable demographic conditions, Canada is a top immigration destination
for Indians. Qualified professionals and individuals apply for Canadian
permanent residency hoping for a better future for themselves and their
families.
To apply for a Canada PR visa, understanding
the Express Entry System is essential. On January 1, 2015, the Government of
Canada introduced the Express Entry Program under the Economic Class and
Federal Skilled Worker categories. This system is based on personal information
that candidates provide in categories such as Age, Language Skills, Education,
Work Experience, Adaptability, and Arranged Employment. Based on these details,
scores are assigned to candidates under a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). Applicants
with the highest CRS scores receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for PR status
in Canada. Upon receiving an ITA, candidates must submit a full application
within 60 days.
Apart from CRS scores, a crucial factor
affecting PR visa applications is the Skilled Occupation List. To migrate to
Canada and work as a skilled worker, one must have at least one year of
full-time work experience in an occupation listed as in-demand. This occupation
must match the Canadian definition of the occupation to be eligible for a PR
visa.
Only occupations corresponding to Skill Type 0,
Skill Level A, and Skill Level B are eligible under the Federal Skilled Worker
Program.
