The Express Entry system is a points-based system that ranks applicants based on different criteria. This article will explore the factors that can affect your Express Entry CRS score if you’re aged 30 or over and how to maximize your CRS score if you’re over 30.
Provincial nominations may be the best way to maximize your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score and get an invitation to apply for Canadian permanent residence because getting nominated before going through Express Entry might earn you an extra 600 points.
As you might know, your CRS score is calculated using snapshots of your resume, such as graduate degrees and work experience. You can increase your score by doing things like adding new work experience or outlining it in more detail.
If you already achieved 8777 in IELTS and your CRS score is still lower than cutoff, you can try to get more in another module, speaking and reading. If you are really serious you can do French, but it is really hard.
If you have finished Bachelors but your CRS score is low, you can do Masters degree. This will help gain more points as educational CRS points rages from 200 and 250 depending on where the applicant received credential.
Another way to increase your CRS score is by applying through Express Entry with a documented, written job offer. This should include all types of information, including salary and duties. This strategy can help you obtain more points in the CRS score. Job offers add 50 or 200 points to the CRS score if a candidate has an offer from employer.
