This is great news for the Canadian immigration seeking candidates as Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) held yet another round of inviting candidates for Express Entry.

IRCC, on 12 July 2023 invited 3,800 candidates in a French language category-based draw and the candidates should have at least a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 375.

What Is an Express Entry System?

Before applying for this draw, you should note what Express Entry is. It is a point-based system used to calculate a candidate’s points for getting permanent residency in Canada. This is a part of the immigration process and helps to find skilled candidates to boost the economy of the province.

You are eligible for the Express Entry only if:

1. You are an experienced or skilled worker in an occupation that is in high demand in the province.
2. You have passed the language proficiency test with a valid point in the preferred language of the province. For Canada, English and French are mandatory.
3. You have a job offer from an employee in Canada.
4. You are financially stable to support yourself and your family.
5. You have passed medical and security tests.

Meeting all the requirements is necessary for you. After that, you can create your Express Entry profile and then submit your application for further processing. Once this has been done by you, the Canadian government will check your profile, and if you get selected they will send you an Invitation to Apply or ITA.

About Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS)

Your CRS score is based on a number of factors. This includes:

1. Educational Qualifications: Your level of degree will be checked. That is why it is suggested to get a higher level of degree such as a master or Ph.D. from any reputational institution of Canada.
2. Job Experience: It is suggested to have at least three years of experience in the occupation or profession that is in demand in Canada.
3. Language Proficiency: You must have passed the language test such as IELTS, PTE, etc. Languages include French, and English.
4. Age: Your age also matters to get you a good point. The younger you are, the higher score you will get on the CRS system.

You need to have good points for each factor in order to rank good on the CRS system.
