Comprehensive Ranking System
The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) is the points-based system we use to assess and score your profile and rank you in the Express Entry pool.
The CRS gives you a score from your profile answers, including your:
-
skills
-
education
-
language ability
-
work experience
-
other factors
The CRS also gives you points for:
-
Canadian degrees, diplomas or certificates
-
a valid job offer
-
a nomination from a province or territory
-
other factors
We regularly send invitations to apply to the highest-ranking candidates in the pool. If you are invited, you can apply to immigrate as a permanent resident.
Comprehensive Ranking System formula
The points you get from the CRS include a core set of points up to 600 and a set of additional points of up to 600. Your total score will be out of 1,200. It is based on the four parts of the CRS formula:
