Ways to improve your CRS Score
There are various ways through which you can improve your score and ranking in the Express Entry pool. Even a slight increase in points for factor like, language ability from intermediate to initial advanced level, completing higher education, etc. can bring a huge difference and can show positive effects on your ranking.
As an applicant, you may take following steps and get a required boost to your overall CRS scores:
Re-take Language test
Language is a crucial factor and is worth of total 260 points. As a fluent English or French speaker, you can maximize your points and can also re-take a test. An improvement in all the four abilities, i.e. speaking, writing, reading, and listening can help you reach up to initial advanced level CLB 9 or even CLB 10.
Also, if you are a bilingual applicant, you can also take language test for both English and French and can claim up to 24 points on the CRS table.
Complete higher education
Education is indeed a highly valued factor under CRS and if you enter the pool of candidates without an ECA report, you may be asked to wait for a longer time. With an ECA report for education obtained outside of Canada, you can score higher points.
With an assessed bachelor’s degree, you can score up to 170 points. Also, if you complete any additional degree, diploma or certificate which is assessed, you can improve your ranking score under CRS.
Get provincial nomination
With a provincial nomination from any Canadian province, you can score additional 600 points, which virtually guarantees an ITA in upcoming EE draw. To get a nomination, you can apply under a suitable PNP stream by finding your eligibility for the same.
