How can I improve my CRS score?

Now, if you can not clear the latest CRS score cut-off, other ways can assist you to increase your current CRS score in CRS Calculator so that you can get ITA in the next express entry draws.

Retake language test

Not only is language ability the most valued human capital factor in the Comprehensive Ranking System, but it is also a factor where further gains can make a huge difference. Taking retake test will improve CRS Score in CRS Calculator.

Additional points are accumulated for each improvement in test scores in the four language skills (speaking, listening, reading, writing), but the magic threshold is when a candidate achieves a Canadian Language Proficiency Level (CLB) of 9 in each category. Why? Because in addition to the points earned for upgrades at that level, getting a CLB 9 in each ability also triggers a point jump under the skill transferability factors (the exact jump depends on your education levels. and work experience). One small step in your language proficiency, one giant leap in your CRS score.

Gain more work experience

If you’re working outside of Canada but have less than three years of full-time (or part-time equivalent) experience, keep working! While this work will not score points on human capital factors, it is nonetheless rewarded in the skills transferability combinations. Gaining Work Experience will improve CRS Score in CRS Calculator.

Get a provincial nomination

If the candidate gets a provincial nomination as an express entry candidate, their overall CRS score gets a major boost of 600 points. These many points effectively guarantee an ITA in the next round of invitations.

Pursue another educational program

This is a long-term strategy to improve your CRS score. Either way, getting more education can result in a much higher CRS score. Not only do you receive CRS points for your level of education, but education is an important part of the CRS Skills Transferability Factors section.

This can earn a maximum of 100 points through the skill transferability factors section.

Get a Job-offer

While the value of a qualifying job posting relative to your CRS score is no longer as great as it once was – in most cases, up to 50 CRS points versus a previous value of 600 points – getting a job offer remains an important factor. Getting a Job Offer will improve your CRS Score in CRS Calculator.
