Planning to move your entire life to Canada can be an exciting yet intimidating adventure. Canadian immigration resembles a complex game of chess, with numerous variables that can make it challenging to navigate. To turn your Canadian dream into reality, it's essential to stay proactive and enhance your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score before you arrive.

‍

But what exactly is a CRS score? (you can check your CRS score for free on our app!) The Comprehensive Ranking System is a points-based system used to assess and rank immigrants based on factors such as age, education, work experience, language proficiency, and more. A higher CRS score reduces your competition within the applicant pool, increasing your chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for Canadian permanent residency.

Are you ready to level up your CRS score? In this guide, we'll explore five effective strategies to boost your CRS score, paving the way for your successful immigration journey to Canada. Don’t know what your CRS score is? No problem! You can download our app and check for free.   

‍

Completing your Bachelor's degree in your home country and pursuing a Master's degree in Canada can significantly enhance your eligibility for immigration. This strategic move places you in a higher entry pool, increasing your likelihood of receiving an ITA sooner than those in the general entry pool. Moreover, it expands your post-graduation job opportunities in Canada and reduces the stress of securing a work permit after completing your studies. (TIP: Choose your institution with care. Make sure that the institution you select offers 3 years of PGWP. Private colleges do not offer a postgraduate work permit.)

2. Gain Valuable Work Experience in Your Home Country

‍

Accumulating relevant work experience in your home country is crucial for boosting your CRS score before arriving in Canada. This experience not only strengthens your professional profile but also makes you a more attractive candidate to Canadian employers, thereby increasing your chances of securing permanent residency. Take a look at the jobs that are needed in each province and gain work experience in those fields before you arrive in Canada (refer to point 5. for more information on PNP ) 

‍

3. Enhance Your Language Skills

‍

Improving your language proficiency can significantly enhance your CRS score. Consider obtaining certifications in English or French, proficiency in either language can earn you additional points. Achieving a CLB level 7 in French or scoring high on alternative language tests like PTE Core can maximize your CRS points and improve your overall eligibility for Canadian immigration. CanPR offers many options for online language courses, book a free consultation here (click consult).

4. Obtain Additional Certifications

‍

Preparing yourself with relevant certifications for your desired occupation in Canada is essential for securing employment and increasing your CRS score. By obtaining certifications before your arrival, you demonstrate readiness and enhance your appeal as a prospective permanent resident. Create connections on LinkedIn and read about the necessary certifications required for the jobs you’re looking for and collect the certifications before you even arrive in Canada! 

‍

 5. Understand the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)

‍

If you are a skilled worker, exploring opportunities under the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) can significantly boost your CRS score. Different Canadian provinces have unique streams that cater to various skill sets and labor market needs. For example, Ontario seeks professionals in healthcare, construction, and food services, offering potential nominees up to 600 additional CRS points. Understanding and leveraging PNP opportunities can greatly enhance your chances of obtaining Canadian permanent residency. 

‍

By implementing these five strategies, you'll be well-prepared to boost your CRS score and streamline your immigration journey to Canada. Each step is designed to not only enhance your eligibility but also increase your chances of receiving an ITA for permanent residency. Take proactive steps now to turn your Canadian dream into a reality and embark on a successful new chapter in your life.
