Securing A Job Offer
If you’re hoping to score high on the Canadian Express Entry score to improve your chances of being selected for permanent residency, one of the best things you can do is secure a job offer. This can give you a major boost of either 50 or 200 CRS points depending on the position, which can make a significant difference in the overall standings.
To be eligible for the points, the job offer must be from a Canadian employer and must be for a full-time, permanent position. It also must meet certain wage criteria and be in an occupation that is listed as eligible on the National Occupational Classification. If you’re able to obtain a valid job offer that meets all of these criteria, you’ll be well on your way to increasing your CRS score and improving your chances of being selected for permanent residency in Canada.
Evaluating Your Work Experience
Articulating your current work experience in the most effective way possible can maximize your CRS score. Make sure you are clearly describing your duties and responsibilities and highlighting your skills and achievements. Another way to maximize your CRS score is to look at your work experience in terms of the Canadian job market. If you have experience in a field that is in high demand in Canada, you will be able to score more points. Finally, make sure you are including all relevant work experience, including any unpaid work or volunteer experience.
Improving Your Language Ability
Improving your language ability will give you additional points. In addition, language is valuable for human capital factors such as your education and work experience will also give you additional points. Finally, spousal factors (if applicable), skills transferability, and “additional factors” are also important factors affected by language. If you can improve your score in these areas, you will be more likely to receive an invitation to apply for permanent residence in Canada.
Strengthening Your Educational Credentials
The Canadian Express Entry score is based on several factors, one of which is your educational credentials. If you want to maximize your score in this area, you will need to get an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) from a designated organization. Or get a Canadian degree, which will in turn give you 200 and 250 CRS score points. The more points you have, the better your chances of being selected for Express Entry.
Considering Using Your Spouse/Partner As The Principal Applicant (If Applicable)
As the principal applicant, your spouse or partner will be the one who is assessed on their skills and qualifications. However, as a dependent spouse or common-law partner, you will still be able to contribute to the application. This can help to improve your score and increase your chances of being selected.
If you are eligible to use your spouse or partner as the principal applicant, it is important to consider all of the benefits and drawbacks before making a decision.
