The Comprehensive Ranking System Score is used in every Express Entry draw. The Express Entry is split into several categories but all three categories use the CRS to rank candidates to determine which ones they should invite.

Federal Express Entry Draws

The Federal Skilled Worker Program is best for professionals and skilled workers who want to immigrate to Canada. The Express Entry draws have Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSW) draws typically every two weeks and usually have a lower minimum CRS score requirement.

Provincial Nominee Program

You can earn up to an extra 600 CRS points by getting nominated by the province of your choice. Not only will this be listed on your nomination certificate, but it also greatly affects your overall CRS score. However, additional 600 points means that the minimum CRS score for PNP draws is higher than other programs.

Canadian Experience Class

If you have work experience in Canada of at least one year, then the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) under Canada’s Express Entry immigration system is the best immigration program for you to reside permanently in Canada.

The NOC code can affect the CRS score as it has different categories. As per Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), NOC code is of two categories –

• Skilled – A, B and 0
• Others – D and C

Only the applicants choosing NOC skilled category can get CRS points for work experience. The other categories do not get this benefit. But, the NOC category 00 can get a maximum point of 875.

To choose the right NOC if you fit multiple categories, you must consider some factors. These are –

• Occupation: It is vital to know the skill levels that are in demand in Canada right now.
• Skill level: Opt for the NOC that puts you under the skilled category.
• Career growth: The NOC you select must display your career development.

There are two ways to apply: 1. Acceptance of NOI: In this way, the PNP looks for eligible candidates and sends the NOI (Notification Of Interest). Then, the applicant can submit an EOI.

• If the province or territory agrees to nominate you, you create an Express Entry profile (or update your profile if you already have one) and show you have been nominated.
• You get a nomination through your account, which you accept electronically.

2. Submission of EOI: In this way, the immigrant can submit EOI (Expression Of Interest) to the suitable PNP.

• You create an Express Entry profile and show the provinces and territories you are interested in them.
• If a province or territory sends you a “notification of interest” to your account, you contact them directly.
• You apply to their Express Entry stream.
• If you are nominated, they will offer it to you through your account, and you accept it electronically.

In both cases, you will need to create an Express Entry profile during the process, so you should do it right from the start.
