The Great White North offers a wide range of immigration pathways to its PR aspirants. There are more than 100+ immigration pathways that permit you to immigrate to Canada along with your family. However, choosing the right immigration pathway oneself can be challenging and tedious. Each Canadian immigration gateway holds different eligibility criteria. Whatever pathway you choose, you need to align with its requirements to get selected.
As per surveys, the most convenient and straightforward Canadian immigration pathway is Express Entry. Most PR candidates opt for this immigration pathway to become Canadian permanent residents. This immigration pathway (Express Entry) was inaugurated in Canada back in 2015 and the selection criterion has been replaced by the “Canada Express Entry Points-CRS."
If you apply via any program that comes under Express Entry, the CRS score plays a vital role. The higher the CRS score, the higher the possibility of getting an ITA in the draw. The Express Entry’s primary job role is to manage the application of three major economic programs. These economic programs are commonly known as FSWP, FSTP and CEC.
FSWP, FSTP and CEC are three different immigration programs with different requirements under Express Entry. In order to be qualified for the EE (Express Entry) pool, you need to support the requirements of any program that falls under Express Entry. Once qualified, you will be entered into the EE pool with a CRS score.
Note: Candidates will get a CRS score only if they apply through the programs that fall under Express Entry. There are only three programs that Express Entry manages; FSWP, FSTP, and CEC. Candidates can expect their PR visa within 6 to 8 months post-submission of the PR application. On the other hand, the processing times are longer if you submit the application for a PR visa through any other program.
As mentioned earlier, Express Entry is responsible for managing the application of three major economic programs. These economic programs are FSWP, FSTP and CEC. Each immigration pathway brings different skilled workers to Canada. However, in order to be qualified, you require to stand with the program’s requirements. Kindly check the eligibility criteria of each immigration pathway to know with which program you stand in line:
FSWP (Federal Skilled Worker Program)
FSTP (Federal Skilled Trade Program)
CEC (Canadian Experience Class)
Once you have qualified for any program, you will be in the pool of applicants with a CRS score. The CRS score is allotted to you based on factors like age, highest qualification, work experience etc. You will get an ITA for a PR visa if you score a CRS equivalent or above the cut-off.
The IRCC will also start conducting skill-based draws in 2023. In the skill-based draws, the IRCC will be sending ITAs to applicants who can contribute to the labour market and the Canadian economy. Candidates supporting any in-demand occupation in Canada will have a high chance of getting an ITA. Along with the CRS, your occupation and other factors will also be highly considered.
Note: FSWP stands out as the sole program under Express Entry that doesn’t demand a Canadian job offer and work experience. Immigrating to Canada through this program is much easier than other programs under Express Entry. For instance, if you opt for the CEC, you must have 1 year of Canadian work experience to be qualified for the program. And if you choose FSTP, you must have a Canadian job offer for at least and certificate of qualification in that skilled trade. Along with these requirements, there are some other requirements that you need to support. Therefore, if you wish to immigrate to Canada, opt for the FSWP. This program has minimal requirements, as listed above, which are easy to fulfill.
As listed earlier, the higher your CRS is, the higher your options for getting an ITA in the Express Entry draw. Therefore, you should always aim to score as high as possible. Your entire Canadian immigration journey relies on the CRS score if applied through Express Entry.
Once you enter the Express Entry pool, you will get a CRS score based on multiple factors. Irrespective of the program you apply through, you will be in the pool of applicants. However, you must note that you will remain unqualified if you don’t meet the requirements. In order to enter the pool, you are bound to meet the eligibility criteria of any program that comes under Express Entry.
Kindly refer to the below-listed breakdown to calculate your total CRS score. Candidates must note that the CRS remains different for candidates with and without a spouse.

You will get a CRS based on these 3 major factors. In order to calculate your exact CRS score, you can go through the above-listed tables. Still, if you find any challenges, you can get in touch with us. We will assist you thoroughly throughout the procedure.
As listed earlier, you should score as high as possible. The number of points you require to get an invitation varies from one draw to another. Therefore, it is always hard to predict how much score you need to get an ITA. Since launching the “immigration levels plan for 2023 to 2025”, the CRS score is constantly falling, except for a few draws.
To be on the secure side, one should practice improving your CRS score as much as possible. There is a multitude of actions you can take to boost your overall CRS score, such as:
Amongst all factors, opting for a PNP nomination is considered the best. Once you have got the PNP nomination, you can claim the 600 additional CRS points against it. 600 additional CRS points assure an ITA in the next subsequent draw.
After practising all the possible measures, if you are still not competent enough to secure an ITA, you can opt for the different Canadian immigration pathways. You can pick the provincial nominee program to immigrate to Canada in 2023. According to the new immigration levels plan, the highest number of entries would be taken via this pathway over these three years. You should consider the same by being willing to contribute your skills to the economy's growth.
We are wrapping up the last five express entry draws with their CRS scores. These draws will give you an idea of how much CRS you might need to get an ITA in an Express Entry draw. In the subsequent draws, the CRS may go up and down. The lowest CRS ranked to date is 413. Therefore, it is must to submit the Expression of Interest to the Express Entry pool.

The Canada Express Entry Points Calculator is an online tool provided by the Canadian government to assess the eligibility of skilled foreign workers for immigration to Canada. It calculates the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score based on various factors. The factors may include age, education, language ability, work experience, etc.
The higher you score CRS, the higher your chances are of getting an ITA during an Express Entry Draw. Therefore, you should always practice scoring CRS as high as possible. Factors like age, education, language ability, and work experience allow you to fetch the highest points against the CRS score.
Candidates must note that if they apply through FSWP under Express Entry, they are required to align with the 67 points requirements to get into the pool. Alongside 67 points requirements, there are some other requirements of the program that you need to meet.
The Express Entry Points Calculator assigns points to applicants based on factors such as age, education, work experience, language proficiency, and adaptability. These points are used to rank candidates in the Express Entry pool, and the highest-ranked individuals attain an (ITA) Invitation to Apply for permanent residency.
In order to get an ITA, your CRS score must be equivalent to or higher than the cut-off. If you are a candidate aligning with the CRS score, you will get the ITA to apply for the PR visa. In case your CRS score is not competent enough to get you an ITA, you can opt for other ways, such as the provincial nomination program.
Having a Provincial Nomination will increase your overall CRS score by 600 points which guarantees you an ITA in the subsequent draw.
Note: This year (2023), the IRCC will conduct category-based draws. Your work experience and language ability will also be highly preferred, along with your CRS score. If your occupation comes under the “Canada in-demand” occupation list, you would have a high chance of achieving Canadian immigration.
There are multiple pathways via which you can apply for a PR visa in 2023. However, if you want to pursue your immigration journey with the fastest and most convenient pathway, look no further than Express Entry. If you opt for the Express Entry, you will get a CRS score based on the factors including:
The weightage of each factor varies from one to another. And your entire Canadian immigration journey relies on these factors. These factors will get you a CRS score which will determine your possibility for an ITA during the Express Entry draw.
As listed earlier, your entire Canada immigration journey depends on the CRS score. Therefore, you should always score as high as possible to uplift your chances for Canada immigration. In case you couldn’t score enough to get an ITA, you can opt for the below practices to take up your CRS score. These practices will definitely help you to increase your overall CRS score.
These tricks will help you to score enough to get an ITA. In case you are still not competent enough to get an ITA, you can choose the other immigration pathways.
Yes, you can apply for Express Entry without a job offer. While having a job offer can provide additional CRS points, it is not mandatory. However, having a valid job offer from a Canadian employer can significantly take up your chances of receiving an ITA. In Express Entry, there are three economic programs. However, each economic immigration pathway holds different eligibility criteria, for instance:
Canadian work experience is not mandatory for Express Entry. However, Canadian work experience can provide additional CRS points and increase your chances of receiving an ITA. If you have Canadian work experience for at least 1 year, you can claim PR points against it. However, you must note that if you opt for a program like CEC, you must have Canadian work experience for at least 1 year in an occupation that falls under NOC TEER categories.
On the other hand, if you choose FSWP or FSTP, you don’t need Canadian work experience to be eligible for the program. These both programs under Express Entry don’t require Canadian work experience and job offers. Therefore, you should opt for a program out of these two only.
Yes, you can retake language tests to improve your CRS score. If you receive higher language test scores after submitting your Express Entry profile, you can update your profile with the new scores. You can practice this to take up your overall CRS score.
In addition to the above, in case the CRS score doesn’t go up after retaking a language test, you can go for another official language. You can claim some extra points by proving your proficiency in another official language.
Yes, you can use the Express Entry Points Calculator to get an idea of your CRS score and determine your eligibility for the Express Entry program. The CRS score varies in each Express Entry draw conducted by the IRCC. And in 2023, the IRCC will conduct various types of EE draws, such as all-program, program-specific, and category-based. The CRS score varies in each type of draw. Therefore, you should aim to score a competitive CRS score to increase your chances of selection.
As you already know, it is always hard to forecast the CRS score in the upcoming draw. Therefore, Candidates or PR aspirants should score as high as possible. The higher the CRS score, the higher the chances of getting selected. In case you are not competent enough to get an ITA based on your CRS score, you should go for a PNP nomination.
Getting a PNP nomination will take your overall CRS score up by 600 points. Almost every Canadian province except Nunavut and Quebec offers a Provincial Nomination Program to bring individuals who contribute to the local economy to the fullest.
In order to be eligible for the FSWP program, you need to get 67 points out of 100. These points are allotted to you based on the factors like age, education, work experience, arranged employment, adaptability, and language ability. On the bases of the age factor, you can claim a maximum of 12 Canada PR points.
However, to secure a maximum of 12 points, you need to be 18 to 35. After the age of 35, one point will get deducted with each passing year. Therefore, you should consider applying for a Canada PR visa at an early age. The younger you are, the higher points you get for your age.
Note: To be qualified for any program effective under Express Entry, you need to be at least 18 years old. In case you are younger than 18 years, you will not be able to apply for a Canada PR visa.
As mentioned earlier, the primary objective of all the programs under Express Entry is to bring qualified, skilled workers to Canada. Therefore, no matter which economic immigration pathway you choose, you need to meet the minimum work experience requirement to be eligible. For instance:
From dreaming about Nova Scotia and its thrilling beauty to living here, life has changed drastically. I still wonder how my life has changed within a year. When I was in India, my life revolved around office only. However, since I came to Canada, I have plenty of time to spend with my family & friends and do what I love. I have a flexible job here with a great work-life balance. Wherever I am today in my life, it's because of Dynamic Group only. Their role has been pivotal in my journey of moving abroad. They were with me throughout the process to make this transition a seamless experience. Thank you for your comprehensive immigration services.
Thank you, Mr. Gaurav and the team, for taking care of my needs throughout the process with tailored solutions. The team went above and beyond to meet my requirements. Their assistance throughout the case has been incredible. From the first consultation to the last submission, they were there to assist and support me through the intricacies of the process. From day one, all paperwork was accurate and free from errors and misrepresentations. And my case manager's dedication and support resulted in a positive revert. I am glad that I chose you as my immigration consultant. I already recommended my friends to opt for your services.
Everything seemed easy until I came across the actual process of the documentation part for my Canadian immigration application, which left me confused and hopeless. I wasted my time, money, and energy for a long time by engaging myself in the application process. Actually, a friend of mine got the visa by performing the paperwork on his own and I thought of doing the same but I must say every application is unique and without a proper understanding of the rules and regulations, it is impossible to apply.
Later on, to make things work out, I decided to get help from an immigration consultant. Everything was daunting and confusing until I stumbled upon Dynamic Group. They have truly changed everything. The dream that once looked unachievable turned into a possibility. Recently I received my PR approval and all this could be possible because I had Dynamic Group with me during the entire process. Their vast knowledge, personalized approach, and years of experience made the process a remarkable experience. My words can't express my gratitude.
Relying on Dynamic Group for my Canada PR application has been the best choice. Their extensive knowledge, successful visa record, and a team of expert professionals made my dream easily accessible. Other than helping in my immigration process, they assisted me with my English proficiency through their IELTS academy. Overall, my experience has been so great with them. Thank you for your excellence and attention to each detail throughout the process.
What a service it was, Dynamic Group! With their top-notch immigration services, all doubts and apprehensions turned into gratefulness. From the first consultation to IELTS classes to documentation to the final submission, it has been nothing short of amazing. And special thanks to my case manager, who gave tailored solutions to my unique needs. It's been an incredible experience with you.
Finding the right immigration pathway was really confusing. I opted for Express Entry, but it also had three other programs to choose from. I had really no idea with which program I actually stand with. My partner, who already lives in Canada on a temporary visa asked me to get in touch with an immigration consultant to make this straightforward. After days of research, I came across Dynamic Group. DYNAMIC GROUP changed the entire process. They worked with me at every step of the way with a personalized approach. Thank you for making my dream of immigrating to Canada come true. I wish all the team members and my case manager all the best for their careers ahead. Hope you will continue the same in the future for other aspirants as well.
I stumbled upon a piece of news that Canada is inviting medical professionals on PR visas with streamlined immigration pathways. I really wanted to know whether I am eligible for a Canada PR visa or not. To understand my eligibility, I got in touch with Dynamic Group. After reviewing my resume and work experience thoroughly, They told me that I am qualified for various immigration pathways. I started my PR journey just 2 months back. My case is in progress, but their professionalism and attention to detail made me write this testimonial. I'm grateful that you gave the wings to my dream. I just hope you will keep your dedication and commitment the same till the last aspect of the process.
Thanks to Dynamic Group, I am now one step closer to realizing my dreams of living and working abroad. Their professionalism, reliability, and unwavering support have made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Dynamic Group to anyone seeking immigration services and looking for exceptional IELTS preparation. The knowledgeable instructors, interactive learning materials, and personalized approach have all contributed to my success. I couldn't be more grateful for their dedication and commitment to helping me excel in the IELTS exam. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
After struggling for straight 3 years due to the Pandemic, I had lost all hope of immigrating to Canada until I came across Dynamic Group. Dynamic Group and its immigration consultants are the best in Delhi NCR. Having them by my side changed the entire game. The whole experience with the team was incredible. Last month, I got my PR visa, and I am ready to embark on the next chapter of my life in my dream country.
Before I met Dynamic Group, my dream of immigrating to Canada felt out of reach. I was overwhelmed with paperwork and confused by the process. But then, Dynamic Group became my guiding star. Their team's dedication, expertise, and compassion changed my life. They held my hand through every step, turning my uncertainties into hope. Today, I received the ITA and am looking forward to immigrating to Canada super soon. Forever thankful.
