The latest round of invitations for Permanent Residence had a cut-off score of 720. Obtaining a nomination through eligible PNP programs gives a candidate a 600-point boost in the Express Entry System. Candidates can apply for the PNP once they file an Express Entry application. Certain PNP streams are also open for candidates to apply directly.
A better overall score improves a candidate’s chances for immigration. That much is simple – yet, the misunderstood word here is overall. If you are confident in one or more of the abilities tested, you may be inclined to dwell more on that skill. By neglecting your weaknesses and overperforming in one category, the candidate may get a good average score. However, the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) rewards each ability separately. This is why some candidates find themselves repeating exams and doubling preparation time, without improving their overall CRS score.
The fastest pathway to immigrate to Canada is the Express Entry system. For this reason, it is also the most competitive. As of Dec. 20, 2021, there were 191,765 candidates in the Express Entry pool. When there is a large supply of skilled applicants, the cut-off point of the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) could rise higher. The good news is that, once in the pool, candidates qualify for Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP). Qualifying for these programs either boost a candidates’ CRS score by 600 points, or open them new pathways to immigrate to specific provinces.
