CRS (Comprehensive Ranking System)
The points score, out of 1,200, that ranks Express Entry candidates on age, education, language and experience.
A higher CRS improves your chance of an invitation. Better language scores, a provincial nomination, Canadian education or a valid job offer can raise it. Cut-offs change every draw, so there is no fixed "pass" mark — check recent draw scores at IRCC.
