Express Entry’s Comprehensive Rating System
The race for the Express Entry to Canada has officially begun. The end of January saw the first draw of top ranking candidates from the pool of applicants, to be invited to apply for permanent residence in Canada.
For those who want to ensure that they are at the top of the list for when the next round of “draws” are completed so that you can apply for permanent residence in Canada, keep reading.
The selection of top ranking candidates is based on a point-based system called the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). So how does this scoring system work?
The selection of top ranking candidates for Express Entry to Canada is based on a point-based system called the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). So how does this scoring system work?
As per Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) guidelines, candidates must first set up an online profile. Your online profile will include your work experience, language proficiency, education, skills, etc. These categories enable Citizenship and Immigration Canada to determine your contribution to the economic growth and development of Canada.
Prior to creating your profile, candidates applying for Express Entry must complete a language proficiency test in English or French.
Be aware that educational accomplishments and qualifications obtained outside Canada must be assessed and recognized by Canadian standards.
Draws for the “Invitation to Apply” will take place regularly over the course of the year. If you are not on the coveted invitee list after a year of having your profile active, you must re-submit your profile if you are still interested in immigrating to Canada and if you still meet all requirements. Here the draws.

The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) helps place you, the candidate, on a certain spot on the totem pole. The higher up you are the more likely that you will receive an Invitation to apply for permanent residence in Canada. Candidates will be assessed on a variety of categories from education and language proficiency to skills and work experience.
For those candidates looking to get ahead of the pack early on in the race, they can achieve extra points by obtaining a job offer from a Canadian employer supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) and/or a nomination by a territory or province.
If you do not have a job offer with a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) or a nomination by a territory or province, you should register with the Government of Canada’s Job Bank to seek gainful employment. You should ensure that your résumé structure and presentation meet Canadian guidelines.
The CRS is based on a total score of 1,200. The closer you get to this total, the more likely you are to receive an Invitation to Apply for Permanent Residence in Canada. Below is the scoring criteria issued by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) for the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) and can be found at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/express-entry/grid-crs.asp

Language Proficiency – 160 Points
Citizenship and Immigration Canad accepts language test results from CELPIP and IELTS for English and from TEF for French.
First Official Language – 136 points
Whichever of English or French you are best at, and (usually) the language you intend to use in Canada, graded in “Canadian Language Benchmarks.”
| Level of Language Proficiency in Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening |
Points per ability with spouse (Maximum 128 points total) |
Points Per Ability without spouse (Maximum 136 points total) |
|---|---|---|
| Less than CLB 4 | 0 | 0 |
| CLB 4 or 5 | 6 | 6 |
| CLB 6 | 8 | 9 |
| CLB 7 | 16 | 17 |
| CLB 8 | 22 | 23 |
| CLB 9 | 29 | 31 |
| CLB 10 or more | 32 | 34 |
Second Official Language – 24 points
If you can speak both of Canada’s official languages, these points are awarded for ability in the weaker of those two languages, again using CLBs.
| Level of Language Proficiency in Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening |
Points per ability with spouse (Maximum 22 points total) |
Points Per Ability without spouse (Maximum 24 points total) |
|---|---|---|
| CLB 4 or less | 0 | 0 |
| CLB 5 or 6 | 1 | 1 |
| CLB 7 or 8 | 3 | 3 |
| CLB 9 or 10 | 6 | 6 |
Strong French Language Skills – 50 points
If you have particularly strong French language skills, you can now gain additional points for your bilingual ability, as of June 12, 2017. See below:
| Level of Language Proficiency in French in reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening | Level of Language Proficiency in English in Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening | Total Points |
|---|---|---|
| CLB 7 or better | CLB 4 or lower (including no English ability) | 15 |
| CLB 5 or better | 50 |
Please note, however, that the maximum total points for language skills is still 160 points.
So, for example, if you are immigrating to Canada by yourself (i.e. you’re single) and
- you have earned the maximum number of points for your first language abilities (128 points)
- you have earned the maximum number of points for your second language abilities (22)
- you will then get “30 points” for your bilingual ability but you will still only get 160 points for language skills, rather than 180.
Spouse or Partner’s Language Proficiency – 20 Points
Your accompanying spouse or partner can only get points for their ability in one of Canada’s two official languages. As usual, the points are assessed across four criteria: reading, writing, speaking and listening.
| Spouse or Partner’s Language Proficiency | Points Per Ability |
|---|---|
| CLB 4 or less | 0 |
| CLB 5 or 6 | 1 |
| CLB 7 or 8 | 3 |

Please note that if you are not immigrating to Canada with a spouse or partner, your language proficiency is worth more (see above) and you will not lose points for coming without a spouse.

Provincial Nomination – 600 Points
If you have a nomination from a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), this gives you the maximum number of points available in the “Additional Factors” category. It is the single most important thing you can get to qualify for Express Entry. For a list of Provincial Nominee Programs, click here.
If you do not have a nomination from a PNP, don’t worry! There are still other ways you can get additional points:
Job Offer for an Occupation in Major Group 00 – 200 Points
Job offers are no longer worth 600 points.
If you have a job offer from a Canadian employer plus a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) and it is for a senior management position in one of the following categories, you get 200 points:
- 0011 Legislators
- 0012 Senior government managers and officials
- 0013 Senior managers – financial, communications and other business services
- 0014 Senior managers – health, education, social and community services and membership organizations
- 0015 Senior managers – trade, broadcasting and other services not elsewhere classified.
- 0016 Senior managers – construction, transportation, production and utilities
Learn more about how occupations are classified.
If you are already working in Canada and have a work permit, the following types of work permits exempt you from having to provide an LMIA:
- NAFTA work permit
- Intra-company transfer
- Work permit that required an LMIA
- Work permit issued by a province or territory
- Work permit issued due to “significant benefit to Canada.”
All other work permit holders, including holders of IEC work permits and Post Graduate work permits (PGWPs), and spousal work permits, are not exempt from the LMIA requirement.
Job Offer – 50 points
If you have a job offer with an LMIA in any other type of occupation, you get 50 points. Again, the above work permit holders are exempt from the LMIA requirement.
Canadian Education – Maximum 30 Points
Finally, as of November 2016, you can now earn points for your Canadian education credentials.
| Level of Education | Total Points |
|---|---|
| Completed Canadian Secondary School | 0 points |
| Completed 1-2 year Canadian post-secondary program | 15 points |
| Completed 3+ year Canadian post-secondary program | 30 points |

| Completed Canadian entry-to-practice degree | 30 points |
| Completed Canadian Doctoral program | 30 points |
| Total | 30 points |
Sibling in Canada – Maximum 15 points
If you, the principal applicant, or your accompanying spouse/common-law partner has a sibling in Canada, you are now awarded a further 15 points, as of June 12, 2017. The sibling must be related to you or your accompanying spouse/partner by blood. If you have more than one sibling in Canada you will still only get 15 points for having a single sibling in Canada.
For some interested candidates, Express Entry can fast track obtaining permanent residence in Canada. This option is only viable if you are able to secure enough points through the Comprehensive Ranking System to ensure you are at the top of the list when it comes time for the regular draws for the Invitation to Apply for permanent residence in Canada.
Citizenship and Immigration Canada have indicated that, as of January 15th, they intend to process a large percentage of the applications within a six month time-frame.
Candidates should also be mindful that when you do receive the “Invitation to Apply”, you have 60 days to submit an online application for permanent residence in Canada.
