Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS)

The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) is a points-based evaluation used by Canada's immigration authorities to assess and rank candidates applying through the Express Entry program. It considers factors such as age, education, work experience, language skills, and adaptability to determine a candidate’s likelihood to succeed economically in Canada. Higher scores improve a candidate’s chances of receiving an invitation to apply for permanent residency. The CRS helps prioritize applicants with the strongest profiles, ensuring that Canada's immigration efforts attract individuals who can contribute positively to the country's economy and society.
