What should be your CRS Score for Express Entry Profile?

There is  as such no fixed CRS score, since these scores tend to differ for every Canadian Express Entry draw. The applicant is first evaluated out of a score of 1200 points. An applicant becomes a permanent resident of Canada, after having received an Invitation To Apply (ITA). The CRS score is exclusively set by IRCC for every round of invitation and an applicant receives an (ITA) if his/her score is equal to or above the minimum CRS score.

In some cases, the applicants might not have enough CRS scores to be considered for Express Entry Draws. Then Provincial Nomination Programs(PNP) are yet another suitable option, you can look more into it here. Being selected through these nominee programs, you are awarded with additional 600 points, which automatically leads to an ITA in the subsequent draw.
