Frequently Asked Questions
CRS score cutoffs vary with each draw. In recent general draws, scores between 470-490 have been competitive for Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) and Canadian Experience Class (CEC) candidates. Program-specific or PNP draws may have different thresholds. Our team monitors these trends and helps optimize your profile to meet or exceed current requirements.
Yes, your spouse or common-law partner and dependent children can be included as accompanying dependents on your Express Entry application. Your spouse's factors (like language skills and education) can provide additional points to your CRS score. Dependent children are typically those under 22 years of age who don't have a spouse and are financially dependent on you.
If your CRS score isn't competitive, we'll work with you on multiple strategies to improve it:
- Pursuing Provincial Nominee Programs (adds 600 points)
- Improving language test scores (up to 310 points)
- Gaining additional Canadian work experience
- Adding education credentials or Canadian education
- Exploring alternative immigration programs outside Express Entry
No. Being in the Express Entry pool doesn't guarantee an invitation to apply, and receiving an ITA doesn't guarantee approval. Your application must be complete, accurate, and meet all eligibility requirements. Additionally, you must pass medical, security, and background checks. Our expertise ensures your application is properly prepared to maximize chances of approval once invited.
IRCC aims to process most Express Entry applications within 6 months from the date a complete application is submitted after receiving an ITA. However, processing times can vary based on application volume, completeness of your submission, verification requirements, and other factors. Our detailed approach to application preparation helps minimize delays that could extend this timeframe.
