CRS in Express Entry

Applicants who register their information in the Express Entry waiting pool are scored through a scoring system called CRS. The CRS score plays an important role in the selection of the applicant, usually in every selection or draw, applicants with a high CRS score are selected from the waiting pool. Of course, this does not mean that there is no chance for low-scoring applicants, but there will always be the possibility of selecting them; Because the required score in each selection period and the minimum Express Entry score are different. Therefore, it is not possible to consider a fixed score for the minimum Express Entry score and determine an exact basis for the minimum score required.

The maximum number of CRS points is 1,200, of which 500 points are assigned to individual invoices of the applicant. If the Express Entry Canada applicant is married, 460 points are awarded to the individual invoices of the applicant and 40 points to the individual invoices of his spouse.
