If you are planning to migrate to Canada under the Express Entry system but have doubts on whether you have the required CRS (Comprehensive Ranking System) points to qualify for an Express Entry profile. But the fact is a low CRS score should not discourage you from trying to enter the Express Entry pool. And the good news is there is still a very good chance that you will enter the Express Entry pool. Let us see how this is possible.
Express Entry and CRS
The CRS is a points-based system that is used to score and assess immigrants. It is used to give a score to the profile of immigrants and provide a ranking in the Express Entry pool. The assessment fields for the score include:
Every applicant in the Express Entry system is assigned a CRS score out of 1200 points and if he scores highest points under the CRS, he will get an ITA for the PR visa. The CRS score keeps changing with every Express Entry draw which is held approximately every two weeks by the Canadian government.
Factors that determine the CRS core
The CRS score has four important factors. Your profile will be given a score based on these factors.
The CRS score factors include:
Making it to the Express Entry pool
If you get into the Express Entry pool, there are very good chances of migrating to Canada irrespective of your CRS score. the reasons for this are:
Variable CRS score: The CRS score as we mentioned earlier varies with every Express Entry draw, so if you do not have the required score for the present draw, there is every chance that you will meet the required score in a future draw and get an Invitation to Apply (ITA).
Improve your CRS score: Even after you enter the Express Entry pool and your CRS score does not meet the requirement, you can find ways to improve it . Here are some ways you can consider:
Here are some ways to improve your CRS score:
Apply under a Provincial Nominee Program linked to Express Entry: If you get a provincial nomination under the PNP you have applied for which is linked to the Express Entry system, you will have 600 points added to your CRS score. For instance, if the required CRS score in a particular draw is 825 and you have already received your provincial nomination, you will have 600 points added to your CRS score and will need to score only 225 points to receive an ITA.
Immigration targets 2021-2023
The government of Canada announced its immigration targets for the coming three years:
The government also announced that 60% of this target will be met through economic class programs like Express Entry and Provincial Nominee Program. This means there will be a high number of Express Entry draws which may have lower CRS score requirements.
If you are planning to migrate to Canada in 2021, then you must make efforts to enter the Express Entry pool and even if you have a low CRS score, you can improve it and have better chances of receiving an ITA and migrating to Canada.
