The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) is a score-based system used by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to identify and score skilled immigrants in the express entry pool This system uses candidate skills, education, language skills, job handling experience, etc. Based on the items they should be sorted. The CRS score is a score calculated from a maximum of 1200 scores. It is based on two points - up to 600 points, and an additional point worth 600. The category of factors includes factors such as age, language proficiency, education, and work experience. Additional points can be earned through things like submitting qualifying work, getting a work offer from a Canadian province, or showing preference.
To calculate your CRS score, you must assess your eligibility, assign a score based on various factors such as age, education, language skills, work experience, and other criteria and then add up the score for each item to show your total CRS score. It is important to note that the CRS cutoff score varies with each express entry draw, as IRCC invites high scorers to apply for permanent residency in Canada so they need to meet or exceed the cutoff score to obtain it application for permanent residence (ITA). You can use the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) tool provided by IRCC to assess your eligibility and calculate your CRS score
