I began my Canada immigration journey by hiring an IRCC-registered consultant, investing over ₹1 lakh based on common advice to go with a "registered agent." But to my surprise, I was told that nothing could be done unless I scored CLB 9 in IELTS. I was disheartened — it felt like a dead end.
That’s when a friend recommended Aptech Visa, as he had successfully received his PR through them. I approached their team somewhat skeptically. When they told me I could qualify with just 4.5 bands, I honestly thought it was just a marketing pitch. But my husband encouraged me to give it a try, especially after seeing so many success stories on their website.
So, I decided to move forward — hesitantly — and made the payment, thinking it might just be another wasted investment. But I was wrong.
Within 8 months, I received a call from my case officer: “Ma’am, congratulations—you’ve been nominated for Saskatchewan PNP!”
I was speechless, overwhelmed, and couldn’t believe it. Fast forward to today—after 2 years, I finally have my Canada PR through the PNP pathway.
If you're searching for a genuine, knowledgeable, and result-driven immigration consultancy, look no further than Aptech Visa. I highly recommend connecting with Yogesh Sir or Amit—they don’t just consult; they care.
All Express Entry candidates get a score out of 1,200, based on the four parts of the Comprehensive Ranking System formula.
We invite the highest-ranking candidates from the pool to apply as a permanent resident through regular “rounds of invitations.” See what minimum scores have been in the past.
The Canada CRS Table refers to the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) — a points-based system used to rank candidates in the Express Entry pool for Canadian permanent residency.

How to Increase Canada CRS score
Migrating to Canada is an exciting opportunity but also a challenge. Simply being eligible for Canada Express Entry is not enough for you to get an Invitation to Apply (ITA). Or getting into the Express Entry pool doesn’t mean that you will receive an invitation to apply for a Canada PR visa.
The higher your CRS score, the better your chances of receiving an invitation. So, what can you do to get a higher CRS score?
Here are some quick tips that could help you increase your CRS score.
If your CRS score is unfavourable and you want to improve your score, then Aptech visa suggests you consider the following options:
1. Short-term options to increase CRS score:
A) Improving your English and French:
Canada is a bilingual country, which means Canada has two official languages: English and French.
For English, you can write IELTS or CELPIP, and your English contributes a CRS score of 260/600. So, improving your language proficiency will not only increase your CRS score but also assist you in getting better jobs/opportunities in Canada. Try to score CLB 9 bands in the IELTS—General module; CLB 9 means you must have 7 bands in reading, writing, and speaking and 8 bands in listening.
Having competency in French will boost your CRS score; now, you can claim a 50 CRS score if you have a competent score in French. For the French language, you can take the TEF exam.
B) Change primary applicant:
If you are married and planning to migrate to Canada with your spouse, check which one has more chances to get a higher CRS score. If a spouse is younger than you and has skilled experience post-qualification, make your spouse a primary applicant because age contributes to 110 CRS scores.
So, every couple should carefully review who should be the principal applicant.
C) Siblings in Canada:
You can claim 15 points if you have a sibling in Canada based on a PR visa or citizenship.
D) Improve your partner’s first language:
Did you know that a spouse’s language ability is worth up to 20 CRS points in total if she can write an English language proficiency test, and you can add up to 20 points to your CRS through your partner’s first language scores?
E) Spouse qualification ECA:
You can take advantage of up to 10 points by getting ECA done for your spouse's qualification if you plan on moving to Canada together with your spouse/common-law partner.
2. Long-term option to increase CRS score:
a) PNP nomination:
PNP is also a fast-track option to boost your CRS score up to 600; a PNP nomination increases your CRS score and speeds up your process.
