The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score is a points-based system used to rank Express Entry candidates. Scores are based on factors like age, education, work experience, and language proficiency. The maximum possible score is 1,200 points.

What CRS score do I need for Express Entry?

CRS cutoff scores vary by draw. General draws typically require 520-560 points, while category-based draws (healthcare, STEM, French) may have lower cutoffs around 336-510 points. A provincial nomination adds 600 points, virtually guaranteeing an invitation.

How can I improve my CRS score?

You can improve your CRS score by: getting a provincial nomination (+600 points), improving language test scores (IELTS/CELPIP), learning French, getting Canadian education or work experience, or having a spouse with strong credentials.
