Canada Points Calculator – Calculate your CRS points for Canada Immigration 2020

Since the introduction of the Express Entry program in 2015, skilled immigrants have opted the same program to apply for Canada PR Visa with one of the main reason for it being the fastest immigration pathway to Canada PR Visa. Ideally, an application takes around 6 to 8 months to process. To select only the profiles of the immigrants with higher skills and work experience, the express entry program uses the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). With the use of our updated CRS calculator 2020, you will also be able to calculate your CRS points for Canada Immigration.

What is the Express Entry Program?

Point-based immigration program, express entry program was introduced to streamline the application of the skilled immigrants who have applied for Canada PR Visa through three major skilled economic immigration programs: 

  • Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)
  • Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)
  • Canadian Experience Class (CEC)

All the eligible immigrants of the above-mentioned immigration programs are allowed to create and express profile that is then submitted into the express pool with the profile of the other express entry profiles.

How CRS Works?

After all the profiles are submitted in an express pool, the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) is implemented. It ranks the profiles based on the CRS points. These points are awarded to the express profiles based on the credentials of the candidates like age, language proficiency, work experience, education, etc.
Basically, the selection factors based on which CRS points are awarded are as follows:

  1. Core Human Capital factors
  2. Spouse/Common-law partner factors
  3.  Skill Transferability factors
  4. Additional Points (Provincial nomination, French language proficiency, Siblings in Canada, etc.)

On summing up the total CRS points that are awarded based on the selection factors – A, B and C it is 600 points. Selection factor – D, can get maximum CRS points to 600 points.

(A+B+C)+D = 1200 points, which is the maximum CRS points one express entry candidate can get.

IRCC (Immigration, Refugees & Citizenship Canada) held express draws on the frequent manner (Twice in a month approx.) to issue Invitation to Apply (ITA) to higher-ranked profiles in the express pool. Once an express entry candidate gets the ITA, they have 60 days to submit their application for Canada PR Visa with the proper set of documents to the IRCC.
