How Canada calculates CRS rank for Canada PR in Express Entry pool?

Applying for a Canada PR visa? You must have heard of the Express Entry (EE) System. Have you ever wondered, how Canada calculates CRS rank for Canada PR in Express Entry pool? When the world focuses on raising CRS and getting an ITA, we bring the understanding of how CRS rank is calculated in the EE pool.

You might wonder what benefit does it bring to you? Knowing the structure of CRS or Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) can help you prepare better for a Canada PR visa.

In case you find this information a bit complex, remember a CICC-licensed immigration consultant can always help you successfully understand and apply for a Canada PR visa.

 

Calculating CRS rank for Canada PR in the Express Entry pool

When you apply to the Express Entry (EE) System, you must first meet the eligibility terms of its 3 categories such as:

  • Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)
  • Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)
  • Canadian Experience Class (CEC)

Once you qualify you can apply online by submitting your EE profile. Once your profile enters the EE pool it gets a rank out of 12oo under the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS).

 

How does CRS calculate your rank?

The CRS gives each profile in the EE pool a rank. So that when IRCC holds periodic Express Entry draws, qualifying candidates who meet the CRS cut-off can be given an ITA for Canada PR.

To calculate CRS rank there are 4 factors as per which all ranks are calculated such as:

A. Core / Human Capital Factors

Under this factor, the system assesses your basic information such as age, education, Canadian work experience, and language skills. As per the same you can claim a total of the following points: 

  • With spouse/common-law partner – Max points 460.
  • Without spouse/common-law partner – Max points 500.

 

B. Spouse/Common-law partner

As per this factor, the CRS system assesses the education, language skills and Canadian work experience of your spouse/common-law partner. Also, one can claim a maximum of 40 points.

Please note, that a combination of A and B factors can earn a maximum of 500 points.

 

C. Skill Transferability

This factor when calculating the CRS score for Canada PR in the Express Entry (EE) System looks at the premutation and combination of skills for scoring such as:

  • Post-secondary degree level with either good language skills or Canadian work experience – Max 50 points.
  • Foreign work experience with either good language skills or Canadian work experience – Max 50 points.
  • If your occupation comes under skilled trades and you have a trade certificate – Max 50 points.

Please note, that you can get a maximum of 600 points post-addition of CRS factors A, B, and C points.

 

D. Additional Points

Under this, factor you can claim multiple points as per the following:

  • Firstly, a Canadian/PR holder brother or sister living in Canada – 15 points.
  • French language skills – 50 points.
  • Post-secondary education in Canada – 30 points.
  • Job offer from Canada, either in TEER 00 or 0, 1, 2, or 3. – 200/50 points.
  • PNP nomination – 600 points.

Please note, that you can get a maximum of 1200 points by adding A. Core/Human Capital Factors + B. Spouse/Common-law partner factors + C. Skill Transferability + D. Additional Points.

 

So, now you know, how Canada calculates CRS rank for Canada PR in the Express Entry (EE) System. By knowing this you can assess that:

  • Firstly, Canada offers endless possibilities for you to get a higher rank in the EE pool.
