The first step of getting a Permanent Residency (PR) Status is an evaluation of your point based score before the application is submitted to be assessed. Knowing your Comprehensive Ranking System(CRS) score well in advance can also help you enhance your score well in advance before the immigration process even starts. The immigration to Canada requires the candidates to be a part of the point based assessment model which ranks the candidates against other aspiring candidates for migration to the country. For this purpose, the comprehensive ranking system (CRS) tool is used. It is an immigration tool designed by the IRCC (Immigration refugee and Citizenship Canada) to calculate the points of those candidates who plan to immigrate through the express entry program system of immigration.

The procedure includes the candidate creating a profile in the express entry system as per which all the applications are put in the express entry pool. From the pool, the candidate’s points are calculated based on the basis of age, language competency, work experience, and education.

In the Express Entry Program, there are three sub-categories — Federal Skilled Workers Program (FSWP), Federal Skilled Trades Program(FSTP) and Canadian Experience Class (CEC). For the Federal Skilled workers program, there is a minimum score requirement of 67 points.

Once the application of the candidate reaches the express entry pool, then the evaluation of the application starts and individuals are ranked. The total point score, which is based on six selection factors is called the CRS score of the candidate.

These scores are calculated out of 1200 points and the minimum required score is announced through Express Entry Draws. Express Entry Draws are announced after reviewing the applications in the pool, and they are published after 15 days generally. It is decided by the IRCC what would be the next express entry draw score. The latest Express Entry draw score announced by the IRCC on 20the February 2019 was 457. This means that all those candidates who were able to score 457 points out of 1200 were sent ITAs (invitation to apply)

What will happen if the candidate is unable to meet the Comprehensive Ranking System score requirements?

If you fail to meet the CRS point score requirement for qualifying in the Express Entry program, then you need not to lose hope. You can always choose the next best alternative in that case — The Provincial Nomination Program (PNP).

Further, the candidates who are selected through the PNP nomination are also allowed 600 bonus points in the express entry system. Hence, it is a lucrative situation for all aspiring candidates.

Another way is that the candidate can try and increase the CRS score points and wait for his turn of selection for immigration in the next draw, the best way to improve the test Score is through repeated IELTS exam after adequate preparation.
