Many candidates in the Express Entry pool have noticed a boost in their Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score this week.
This was due to amendments made by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) to the way in which points are awarded to candidateswith Canadian work experience.
The Ministerial Instructions governing the Express Entry application management system were modified to remove the requirement that Canadian workexperience be continuous for determining points under the Comprehensive Ranking System for the candidate, spouse or common-law partner.
All valid (skilled) Canadian work experience will be recognized under the CRS as CIC is removing the requirement that Canadian work experience becontinuous. As a result, foreign nationals with Canadian work experience could see an increase in their CRS points under the core human capital and skillstransferability.
These Instructions came into force on May 30, 2015. Learn more about Express Entry.
