Candidates in the Express Entry system are assessed on the basis of various eligibility factors such as age, education, work experience and language ability. Based on this assessment, each candidate is awarded a Comprehensive Ranking System(CRS) score. Candidates with the highest scores are invited to apply for permanent residence in Canada in the federal Express Entry draws that are conducted regularly. Candidates who have received a provincial nomination will have 600 additional CRS score points added to their total score. It guarantees them an Invitation to Apply for permanent residence in Canada in the subsequent Express Entry draw.
