What is the Express Entry System? How to increase our points ?
Before we get into the nitty-gritty, let’s quickly recap what the Express Entry system is all about. Express Entry is an online immigration application system that allows people to submit a profile and be considered as a skilled immigrant. Candidates are evaluated based on various factors like age, education, work experience, and language skills.
Wondering what score you need to aim for? The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) is used to award points, and the higher your score, the better your chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence.
Why Increase Your Express Entry Score?
Think of your Express Entry score as your ticket to Canada’s VIP lounge. The higher your score, the more likely you are to receive that golden ITA. Even if you've already got a decent score, a few extra points can set you apart from other applicants and give you that competitive edge.
Strategies to Boost Your Express Entry Score
Now to the part you’ve been waiting for: actionable steps to boost that CRS score!
Improve Language Skills
Language proficiency in English or French can significantly affect your CRS score. Consider retaking language tests like IELTS or CELPIP for English, and TEF for French, to improve your score.
Additional Education
Additional educational credentials can not only make you more marketable in the job market but also add precious points to your CRS score. You could consider pursuing a higher degree or getting certificates that align with your career goals.
Secure a Job Offer
Having a job offer from a Canadian employer can give you up to 200 additional CRS points. Make use of networking, online job portals, or even Canadian job fairs in your country to secure a job offer.
Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)
Getting nominated by a Canadian province can fetch you an additional 600 CRS points! Check out the specific requirements of each province as they may differ considerably.
Spousal Points
If your spouse is also skilled in areas like language proficiency or work experience, their qualifications can contribute to your overall CRS score.
Canadian Work Experience
If you’ve worked in Canada on a temporary basis, this work experience can contribute to a higher CRS score. Ensure you have proper documentation to validate this experience.
