Will CRS score go down in 2022?

On 13th February, 2021 Canada invited 27,332 candidates to apply for PR with CRS Score as lowest as 75 (CEC) and it is the lowest CRS Score requirement ever.

Canadian government has to achieve its target of 401,000 new immigrants in 2021, so we can expect more number of large draws in the coming months with lowest CRS score requirements.

Canada aims to welcome 4, 11,000 in 2022, and 421,000 in 2023. Based on these immigration level plans for upcoming years, we can expect the drop in CRS score.

4. Is there any way I can increase my CRS score for Canada PR?

To improve your score, you have to improve your eligibility:

The fastest way is to retake your language ability test.
You need a minimum score of 9 in the four language abilities. These are reading, speaking, writing, and listening skills.
Proficiency in French will gain you more entry pool points.
You can submit your language certificate to the authorities in your permanent residence application.
Work experience and a job offer.

If you have a full-time work offer from a Canadian employer or are already working full-time abroad, your CRS score will increase.
If you have a Canadian work permit, that will add to your CRS score.

Provincial nominee program-

The selection in a nominee program of a Canadian province can increase your chances of immigrating to Canada.
For immigrants who are not Federal Skilled Workers, but know Federal Skilled Trades, a PNP visa can be issued for permanent residence.
For the Provincial Nominee Program of Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan, you do not need a job offer. A PNP Canada can gain you a massive score of 600 points.

Another educational degree:

The educational program falls under the skill transferability factor.
If you have a three-year bachelor’s degree and an extended master’s degree, these will gain you 100 points.

Your spouse can also improve your score for the entry program. If they fulfill the necessary criteria, you get 40 points added to your score.

8. Which NOC skill group do I fall under?

Your work experience will decide which skill group you belong to as a skilled worker. Accordingly, you can apply under an immigration program.

Skill Type 0: Restaurant managers, fishing captains, and managers of mines fall in this category.
Level A: Doctors, Architects, and dentists require at least one university degree, such as a master's degree.
Level B: Skilled tradesmen who need training, such as plumbers and chefs.
Level C: Jobs for which you require specific training. These jobs include food and beverage delivery or serving and long-haul driving trucks.
Level D: Jobs for which you get on-spot training, such as cleaning.

To apply as a skilled federal worker or Canadian experience class member, you must belong to type 0, A, or B. If your work experience comprises type 0, A, B, and C, you are a skilled worker immigrant. Still, you cannot apply under the express entry immigration policy.

An application under skill C or D can be granted for the provincial nominee program or skilled federal trades program. However, you can get a work permit for up to 2 years only. To find your employment and skill level, you need to check the NOC code of the job listing from Canada's NOC website.
