What is a good CRS score for Express Entry?

Recent general Express Entry draws have often required around 480–540 points, though category-based draws (healthcare, trades, French-language, education) can have lower cut-offs. Cut-offs change with every draw.

Does a job offer still add CRS points?

No. As of March 25, 2025, IRCC removed job-offer points from the Comprehensive Ranking System. A valid job offer may still matter for eligibility in some programs, but it no longer adds CRS points.
