Comprehensive Ranking System

During these draws, candidates are ranked based on their Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score, which considers factors like age, education, work experience, language proficiency, and more, assigning each candidate a score out of a maximum of 1200 points.

In each draw, there’s a CRS cut-off score, which can fluctuate depending on factors such as the number of candidates, government immigration targets, programs, or specific categories. The goal of these draws is to select candidates who are likely to succeed and contribute to the Canadian economy. The CRS cut-off score also signifies the score of the lowest-ranked candidate who received an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence in that Express Entry draw.
