We can help you determine your qualifications for the program and improve your Comprehensive Ranking System Score (CRS).
“The Express Entry system is a points-based system that is used to select skilled workers for immigration to Canada. To be eligible for Express Entry, an individual must have a minimum of one year of skilled work experience and meet other eligibility requirements.”

Express Entry Eligibility Criteria and Requirements
We strongly believe that understanding the qualifying criteria and procedures for Canada’s Express Entry system is critical for anyone intending to immigrate to Canada. Candidates must meet the minimal requirements to be eligible for the Express Entry pool, which generally includes the following:
- Moderate proficiency in English/French
- Skilled work experience
- Post-secondary education
- Meeting federal program requirements
Comprehensive Ranking System Explained
The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) plays a pivotal role in the Express Entry process, serving as a crucial tool to assess and rank candidates based on age, education, and language proficiency. The maximum CRS score is 1200. Those with the best score are invited to apply for permanent residency (ITA). The pool, qualifications, and invites all influence the score. Applicants have 60 days after getting an ITA to submit an online application.
Improving Your CRS Score
| Strategy | Effect on CRS Score | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Retaking language tests | Increase in language points | IELTS, CELPIP |
| Job offers | Direct increase in points | Job offer from Canadian employer |
| Additional education | Higher education points | Postgraduate studies |
| Work experience | Enhanced work experience points | Canadian work experience |
| Multiple degrees | Increased education points | Bachelor's and Master's degrees |
While these factors may help increase your CRS score, we recommend seeking legal guidance. We can help you by providing comprehensive immigration assistance, including personalized strategies, document reviews, interview preparation, expert legal submissions, and coordination with immigration authorities to ensure timely processing.
