Canada Express Entry Minimum Points:-

Technically, an applicant needs a minimum of 67/100 points on Canada Point Assessment grid to become eligible for applying Canada Express Entry. Well, there are different permutation and combination for getting the Canada Express Entry minimum points depending upon the individual status.

Not every person is same and therefore, not every person will achieve 67 points requirement in a similar way.

Person A scored points in adaptability factors whereas person B scored points in language section. However, both are able to get Canada Express Entry Minimum points.

A Bachelor’s degree candidate aged 34 years with 6 years of work experience scored CLB 8 gets 68 immigration points out of 100 on Canada Point Assessment grid. His age is 34 years that will give 12 points, Bachelor’s degree will account 21 points, CLB 8 will give 20 points and 6 plus years of work experience will give 15 points, total comes out to be 68 points making candidate eligible for Canada PR.
