The British Columbia PNP Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score serves as a points system which evaluates candidates who submit applications through the BC PNP. The CRS system evaluates candidates for BC PNP by assessing the same factors that the federal Express Entry system considers which include age and education and work experience along with language proficiency and job offers. The probability of receiving an invitation to apply for permanent residency increases with higher CRS scores. The minimum score requirement changes based on the chosen stream and draw which makes it essential for candidates to reach the required threshold.
