The Canadian government uses this system to evaluate the skilled foreign worker, applying for Permanent Residence (PR) visa in Canada through the federal Express Entry System.

Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) is a ranking system used by Canada’s Express Entry Immigration system to rank the candidates in the Express Entry pool. The applicants get the ranking as per the CRS Points calculation based on six selection factors of their profile, i.e. age, language proficiency (English/French), work experience, adaptability, educational qualifications and arranged employment.

Each profile gets the point score or ranking. Based on this Score, the IRCC (Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada) issue Invitation to Apply (ITA) for Canada PR Visa to the candidates.

Note: As per the latest Express Entry update announced on 30 October 2020, if you score NCLC 7 or higher on all four French language skills, you can get,

25 additional points if you scored CLB 4 or lower in English (or if you did not take an English test). Earlier 15 points allocated for the same.
50 additional points if you scored CLB 5 or higher on all four English skills. Earlier 30 points allocated for the same.
