What is the CRS Score?

The CRS score is a points-based system used by the Canadian government to evaluate and rank candidates who apply for permanent residency through the Express Entry system. It’s designed to assess the potential economic success of candidates in Canada. The higher your CRS score, the better your chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residency.
