How CRS scoring actually works

The Comprehensive Ranking System scores Express Entry profiles on a scale of 0–1200. Higher score = better chance of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) when IRCC issues a draw.

Section A (max 500)

Core human capital — age, education, language, Canadian experience. Reduced to 460 max if you have a spouse.

Section B (max 40)

Spouse factors — only counts if you have an accompanying spouse. Skipped for single applicants.

Section C (max 100)

Skill transferability — combinations of foreign experience, Canadian experience, language, and education that earn bonus points.

Section D (max 600)

Additional points — Provincial Nomination is the big one (+600). Arranged employment, French, Canadian study, sibling in Canada.

Recent CEC draw cut-offs typically fall in the 480–530 range. Category-based draws (French, healthcare, STEM, trades) have run as low as 380–460.
