10 Strategies to improve your Express Entry CRS score

Express Entry is a competitive pathway for skilled workers seeking permanent residency. Improving your Global Ranking System (CRS) score can significantly increase your chances of receiving an Invitation To Apply for Permanent Residence (ITA). Here are 10 effective strategies for improving your Express Entry score:

1. Improve your language scores: Take language tests such as TEF, TCF, PTE Core, IELTS or CELPIP several times if necessary. Higher scores in English or French can significantly increase your points.
2. Evaluation of diplomas (ECA): Make sure that all your educational qualifications are assessed and recognized by an IRCC-recognized assessment agency. A higher level of education earns more points.
3. Gain more work experience: Gain more years of work experience in your field. Canadian and foreign work experience is invaluable.
4. Find a job offer: A valid job offer from a Canadian employer can add up to 200 points to your score, depending on the type of job.
5. Get a provincial nomination: Apply for a Provincial Nomination Program (PNP). A provincial nomination adds 600 points to your score.
6. Improve your spouse's profile: If you're married, your spouse's language skills, education and professional experience can contribute to your score.
7. Master a second language: Demonstrating competence in both English and French can earn you extra points.
8. Take advantage of Canadian education: If possible, complete a degree or certificate in Canada. Canadian education is highly valued in the CRS.
9. Claim points for siblings in Canada: If you have a sibling living in Canada who is a citizen or permanent resident, you can earn additional points.
10. Consult an immigration professional: Seeking advice from a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant can provide customized strategies to improve your score.
