The number of points required for Canada PR through Express Entry is not fixed, as it depends on the cut-off score in each draw. In recent years, the CRS cut-off for general draws has typically ranged between 470 and 530 points. Applicants who receive a provincial nomination gain an additional 600 CRS points, virtually guaranteeing an Invitation to Apply. It’s important to remember that while eligibility requires a minimum of 67 points out of 100 under the Federal Skilled Worker grid, actual CRS scores required for selection are higher and vary with government immigration targets.
