Express Entry Terminology

express entry draw figures

CEC-specific Draw

A draw that favors candidates from the CEC. These candidates must have one year of skilled work experience obtained in Canada. 

PNP-specific Draw

A draw that favors candidates with provincial nominations. These candidates could qualify under any of the three Express Entry programs in addition to being provincial nominees. This usually means that they have ties to a province or territory in the form of work, education or family.

FSWP-specific Draw

A draw that favors candidates from the FSWP. These candidates typically apply from outside of Canada and have foreign skilled work experience in Training, Education, Experience, and Responsibilities (TEER) categories 1, 0, or 2.

FSTP-specific Draw

A draw that favors candidates from the FSTP. These candidates typically apply from outside of Canada and have foreign skilled work experience in a TEER category 2 occupation.

Tie-break Rule

What does the Express Entry tie-break rule mean? In the event that many candidates score at the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) cut-off score, the tie-breaking rule will be used to better control the number of ITAs issued in each Express Entry draw. Only candidates who score at or above the CRS cut-off score and have submitted a profile before the IRCC tie-breaking rule date will be issued an ITA. The tie-breaking rule started in November 2017.

How to Improve Your CRS Score?

Is your CRS score just not making the cut? Don’t worry, there are a few things you could do to increase your points to boost your chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) in the next Express Entry draw. Follow these five tips for a winning Express Entry profile.

1. Improve Your English or French Language Abilities

According to Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC) David Allon, improving your language abilities is one of the easiest and most effective things you can do to boost your CRS score. For instance, candidates who entered the pool with International English Language Testing System (IELTS) results equivalent to Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) 8 or below can practice to improve their language abilities and re-sit the exam. This can significantly improve their CRS points. 

What’s more, sitting a test for your secondary language too (English or French) could further boost your CRS score with an additional 24 points (maximum).

Achieving the maximum amount of points for language abilities can increase your CRS score by 160 points if you're a single applicant and by 150 points if you’re applying with a partner! 

Also, improving your language abilities will increase the points you received for work experience and education gained outside of Canada as the criteria work in conjunction with your language abilities. Up to 100 CRS points are available for these combinations!

2. Upgrade Your Level of Education

You can increase your chances of receiving an ITA in the next Express Entry draw if you have post-secondary credentials in addition to CLB 9 or higher for all four language abilities. For instance, candidates with Bachelor's degrees and CLB 7 to 8 for all four language abilities will receive 13 points as opposed to 25 points for candidates with Bachelor's degrees and CLB 9 or higher for all four language abilities.

3. Gain More Work Experience

How many years of work experience do you have behind your name? You can increase your CRS score by 50 points if you gain three years or more of foreign work experience in addition to a high language proficiency of CLB 9 or higher. What’s more, you can score additional points if you gained some or all of your work experience in Canada.

4. Secure a Job in Canada

While a job offer is not a requirement for Express Entry immigration to Canada it can land you an ITA because a valid job offer is worth 50 points for jobs in TEER categories 0, 1, or 2 and a whopping 200 points for jobs in TEER categories 0. 

5. Achieve a Provincial Nomination

Last but definitely not least, achieving a provincial nomination is as good as it gets. Your profile will be boosted with 600 CRS points which practically guarantees that you’ll bag an ITA in the next Express Entry draw. A provincial nomination is achieved when your Express Entry profile matches the labor market needs of a province or territory in Canada. Accepting a nomination means that you must settle in the province or territory that nominated you after receiving permanent residency from IRCC.
