To qualify for Express Entry, you must meet a minimum of 67 points on the eligibility grid for skilled workers. However, once you’re in the pool, selection is based on the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). There is no fixed cut-off, as scores vary with each draw. In recent years, CRS cut-offs have ranged from the 470s to low 500s for general draws. For category-based draws (such as healthcare or French speakers), cut-offs can be lower. The higher your CRS score, the better your chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA).
