The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) is a points-based system that we use to assess and score your profile and rank it in the Express Entry pool. It’s used to assess your:

• skills

• education

• language ability

• work experience

• other factors

To get an invitation to apply, your CRS score must be above the minimum points score of your round of invitations. Cut-off scores may vary each round.
