Understanding the Immigration point system

The Canadian Express Entry immigration system is based on points. It uses a merit-based system to select the profiles of the competitive foreign nationals to settle and work in Canada permanently. Canadian has three important economic immigration programs that are aligned with the Express Entry system:

Under each program, candidates applying for immigration are assigned with certain points based on important selection factors such as Age, Language Proficiency, Education, Work Experience, and other factors. These are known as Canadian Immigration Points or CRS score.

Candidates who want to apply for Canadian PR through the Express Entry system create a profile with a maximum accuracy of information to enter into the pool. Each profile is assessed and assigned with a CRS score out of 1200 points. The profiles are ranked according to the score obtained and they are granted ITA.

The Express Entry system works on Immigration draw that is conducted every fortnight. The draw is represented by a CRS cut-off to select the candidates for ITA.

Out of the three important economic immigration programs, the Federal Skilled Worker Program uses a separate points system, before calculating the CRS score, also refers to as 67 Canada Immigration Points. The candidates need to meet a minimum score of 67 out of 100 points to meet the minimum eligibility criteria for FSW. These points are allocated based on age, education, language proficiency, work experience, adaptability, and employment factors.

It is important to note that scoring 67 points out of 100 is the minimum score required to enter into the Express Entry pool under FSW. It makes the candidates eligible to get their CRS score. However, we always suggest our candidates to put efforts into scoring as much possible as they can.

Canada has two official languages – English and French (in Quebec province). Knowing English, French or both languages is extremely beneficial for foreign workers/ nationals. Candidates can get up to 28 points in the four abilities- Writing, Reading, Listening, and Speaking.

Candidates are required to undertake an approved language test to prove their language proficiency. They need to meet the standards of Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB) for English and Niveaux de compétence Linguistique canadiens (NCLC) for French.

Candidates can score up to 25 points in the Education factor if they have a degree, certificate, or diploma obtained from a Secondary or Post- Secondary institution. Candidates who have completed their education outside of Canada have to submit an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) document as proof that the degree, certificate, or diploma they are presenting is equivalent to the Canadian standards of education.

Candidates can obtain up to 15 points under the work experience factor. They have to provide full-time paid work experience for at least 30 hours per week or part-time paid work experience for at least 15 hours per week for 24 months (i.e. equivalent to the full- time paid work experience). Additionally, the work experience must be in an occupation classified under the National Occupational Classification for Skill level A or B or Skill Type 0.
