Let us find out the CRS (Comprehensive Ranking System) for Express Entry program in detail here for the benefit of our budding immigrants to Canada.
First of all, let us know what a CRS is. Well, it is a points system used for ranking immigration applicants. This points system is based on merit and it gives scoring to every candidate or applicant in the pool of Express Entry. The score given to every individual applicant is known as the CRS score.
As we already know quite well that under Express Entry, there are three programs available for coming to Canada. These are Federal Skilled Trades, Federal Skilled Worker, and Canadian Experience Class.
Talking about the CRS, we need to mention that a CRS score is given to an individual submitting his or her profile under the Express Entry pool. This score is given out of the total 1200 points.
Now, we are going to explain in detail the number of points under the CRS to be received for every factor—
If your partner or spouse is not going to accompany you to Canada, or if your spouse or partner is a Canadian citizen or a Canadian permanent resident, then you shall get points under the CRS just like you do not have any partner or a spouse.
