Obtaining a Canadian Permanent Residence visa is not as easy as one thinks it is. However, there are certain tips and tricks that you can follow to make your ordeal considerably better than normal. Akkam Overseas Consultancy has you covered with these pieces of advice.

Express Entry candidates, here are the set of steps that you can follow to increase your Comprehensive Ranking System score for a successful Canada PR Visa. Express Entry is one of the most popular and expedited routes to Canadian Permanent Residence (PR). However, only those individuals with the highest CRS score are invited to apply (ITA) for Canadian Permanent Residency.

  • Apart from the non-express entry processing options such as provincial nomination programs and Job offer routes, this one takes the least amount of time.
  • Raise in the demand for a Work profile (National Occupational Classification (NOC)) code in the provinces is required for an application to get picked and these NOC Codes’ demands might vary for every draw which gives an equal opportunity for most of all the profiles.

Because applicants in the Express Entry pool must compete with one another to be accepted, it is critical to understand the numerous approaches to improve your CRS score.

If you have already submitted your Express Entry profile and your CRS score is lower than what is required, you have many alternatives for increasing your CRS score.

Ways to calculate the CRS Score

After determining your eligibility requirements within one of the Express Entry-associated immigration channels, create an Express Entry profile, and receive a CRS score and wait for your invitation to apply, but this will only happen if you have a high CRS score. Without it, the wait might be prolonged, or will have to check for Provincial Nomination Programs.

Acquire the necessary points to become eligible

There may still be parts of the CRS score where you haven’t claimed all of the points that you are entitled to. Examine the list below in-depth and ensure that you have claimed points for all of the factors that apply to your specific profile.

Education

A factor that increases the score of claiming points and weightage for a profile under the Express Entry Program and Provinces. Having completed more than 3 years of graduate courses from a recognized institution will help your profile to gain good scores, but completing any degree higher than the graduation will increase points.

Education in Canada will further increase candidates’ Comprehensive Ranking System points.

Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) Report is a mandatory document that needs to be procured if your education is from any foreign institution or university except Canada.

Taking your language examinations

The IELTS test consists of 4 modules Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking like any other language test that proves your skills in individual bands for which you can claim points is also necessary for your Canada PR Visa.
