Canada CRS Tool

Get your score by utilizing the Canada CRS Tool. To build an Express Entry profile with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), a person must score 67 points in the Express Entry system of Canada. Your profile will have a big impact on your immigration to Canada as a permanent resident via the Express Entry system.

To apply for a Canada PR visa through Express Entry, you must meet a minimum of 67 points under a number of qualifying requirements. Your application will be evaluated using a point system based on the six parameters listed below:

• Factor 1: Age
• Factor 2: Education
• Factor 3: Experience
• Factor 4: Language Skills
• Factor 5: Job placement in Canada that has been approved by the LMIA
• Factor 6: Adaptability

Age – 12 Points maximum

Candidates will receive points according to their age. They can score up to 12 points. The day your application is received is when the age computation is done.

Education – 25 points maximum

Your educational score can earn you up to 25 Canadian immigration points. You are required to have an ECA report from an approved agency if you received your education abroad. The Educational Credential Assessment report assesses if your degrees from other countries are comparable to those from Canadian universities.

Experience – Maximum 15 points (10 - main applicant) + (5 - dependant)

You will also lose immigration points to Canada due to your employment experience. Points can be earned for the number of years you put in at least thirty hours per week of paid full-time work. An equivalent quantity of part-time labour qualifies as well. A maximum of 15 points is possible, with 10 points going to the primary applicant and 5 points to the dependent.

Language Skills – 28 Points maximum

One of the main requirements for PR eligibility is proficiency in either English or French; the more points you receive, the more likely it is that you will receive an invitation from Canada. A maximum of 28 points may be earned for the language proficiency tests in speaking, writing, reading, and listening.

Arranged Employment in Canada – 10 Points maximum

Additionally, you can earn immigration points to Canada if a company in Canada extends an employment offer to you for at least a year. Before completing an application to become a federal skilled worker and go to Canada, you must accept this offer.

Adaptability – 25 Points

Based on your previous education, employment history, and Canadian relatives, you will receive points. If you are bringing your spouse or common-law partner to Canada, they may receive extra points for adaptation.

The Express Entry pool is occasionally drawn from by the IRCC. The people who score the highest on the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) are invited to apply through Express Entry.

The CRS cutoff minimum varies. Your CRS score is determined by the candidate's characteristics, which include age, education, language, work experience, Canadian job offer, adaptability, etc. There are various methods to raise your score if your CRS is low.

Ways to Improve Your CRS Score

There's always a possibility to raise your CRS scores because the Express Entry lottery happens on a regular basis. In order to receive the necessary points in the upcoming Express Entry draw to receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for the PR visa, you can always work to raise your CRS score.

Here are some suggestions to raise your CRS score:

• Boost Your Language Score:You can raise your CRS score by performing well on language exams like the IELTS. For instance, your CRS ranking may increase by up to 136 direct points if you receive a Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) of 9 on the language exam. Moreover, taking a French language exam can get you an additional 74 points.

• Get a Work Offer [LMIA Approved]:

  You can raise your CRS ranking by up to 200 points if you acquire a work offer from a Canadian business that has been approved by the Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA).

• Get an Education in Canada:

  Completing a recognized degree or diploma in Canada will earn you up to 30 bonus points.

• Reliant Included in the Common-Law Partner/Spouse Application:

  You will both receive bonus points if you apply for the visa along with your spouse. Your spouse's language skills would be worth twenty points, and you may receive as much as ten points for each area based on your degree of education and previous work experience in Canada. Thus, this will raise your CRS score by a total of 40 points.

• Job Experience in Canada:

  You can increase your CRS score by up to 180 points if you have less than three years of full-time job experience and you continue to work.

Applying for permanent residence in Canada is determined by the following factors:

An invitation to apply (ITA) for permanent residence will be sent to you in the event that your application is approved for the Express Entry pool. If you would like an invitation, you must have a high CRS.

A CRS score out of 1200 points is given to each individual whose profile is submitted to the Express Entry candidate pool. The IRCC generally holds two Express Entry drawings each month and sends Invitations to Apply (ITAs) to the top-ranked candidates for permanent residence.

The categories listed below receive points:

• Age
• Level of education
• Official language proficiency
• 2nd official language
• Work experience in Canada

You can use the s below to get your CRS score.

• Common-law partner or spouse factor + Human capital or Core factor = 500 points
