Ways To Immigrate To Canada By Express Entry With CRS Scores Below 400

29 Oct 2019

Thousands of applicants have their profiles in the Canadian Express Entry Pool with Comprehensive Ranking System (C.R.S) scores less than 400.

The most recent picture presented by Refugees, Immigration, and Citizenship Canada, dated 11 October 2019, shows that of the entire pool size of 125,881 applicants, higher than 71,000 applicants scores within 301 and 400 CRS points.

Federal Express Entry now in its 5th year of choosing and inviting new economic immigration applicants, the draws conducted in 2019 have an improved look. Minimum CRS scores of 450 or above have been reported in 16 out of 19 draws, while the numbers of ITAs have risen at 3,900.

For the 40,500 profiles in the Express Entry pool with scores within 401 and 450, enhancing their CRS score by some points could make all the difference. Enhancing language examination results, boosting work experience or joining a common-law partner or spouse as a secondary appellant are all good ideas.

But for those applicants with scores under 400, just attaching a few points to their CRS score is not sufficient.

Express Entry Employment Offer

While the CRS points possible for an employment offer was decreased in modifications made in November 2016, it continues the single most effective way to increase the CRS score.

When Express Entry was initially started, all job offers supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment (L.M.I.A) was worth CRS points 600. The reforms saw the point’s possible drop to 200 or 50, as per the skill level of the job. Sr. managerial positions (NOC 00) became worth CRS points 200, while all other eligible job offers (NOC 0, A or B) are now worth CRS points 50.

A profile scoring CRS points 400 is likely never to obtain an ITA. That equivalent profile with an eligible job offer scores a minimum of CRS points 450 as per the job level.

Canadian Provincial Nomination Programs

The Canadian government is putting increasing value on provincial programs to bring economic immigrants who satisfy particular provincial labor market requirements.

This is great news for immigration applicants to Canada who does not satisfy the demands of federal economic classes. Expanded provincial limits mean more possibilities of securing a coveted provincial nomination worth CRS points 600 and a secured ITA below Express Entry.

Canadian employment offer backed by a nomination from the province is another fast and efficient way to obtain the extra points required to qualify for Canada PR.
