- A comprehensive ranking system (CRS) s a points-based system used to assess and score a candidate’s Express Entry profile to rank them against other candidates in the pool.
- Eligible applicants with 67 points or more can submit a profile into the Express Entry pool, where they are ranked according to the Comprehensive Ranking System criteria.
- The CRS will assess the information candidates submit, including skills, work experience, language ability, education, and other factors.
- IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) regularly issues Invitations to Apply (ITAs) for Canadian permanent residence to the highest-ranked candidates through draws from the pool and aims to process applications within six months.
