    Additional factors

    • Siblings living in Canada

    • Canadian post-secondary education

    You do not need to score 1200. The lowest cut-off score is set and changes every time. Candidates that meet the lowest cut-off score are invited to apply for Permanent Residence.

    Those who did not meet the CRS cut-off remain in the pool of candidates for one year. They have a chance to work on improving their CRS score and update their profile up until they are issued an Invitation to Apply.
