A CRS score is a score used by the Canadian government to rank candidates in the Express Entry system for immigration. The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) is a merit-based points system developed by the government of Canada in order to rank immigration candidates.
Understanding the CRS
The CRS assigns points based on various factors to determine a candidate's eligibility for Canadian permanent residence through Express Entry. These factors include:
- Work experience
- Age
- Occupation
- Education
- Language proficiency
The higher your CRS score, the greater your chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence in Canada.
