There is no easy solution to determine the best fit. Neither age, nor qualification, nor CRS.
Two major flaws in the current system:
1. No weight to the quality of degree: An MBA from Harvard Business School gets lower Education points than a PhD in Anthropology from Osmania University. Clearly, the former has better job prospects.
2. Unjustified classification of education based on Bachelors, Masters etc.. There are millions of software developers who are just Bachelor's because their profession does not require a Masters degree. Are they not as good for Canada as a Masters in Business Administration? In fact, it is easiest for these software developers (Bachelors alone) to find jobs in Canada in comparison to other professions.
The senior most Partner in my company is just a Bachelor. Bill Gates was a dropout. There are numerous examples to put forward in the support of no significant co-relation between level of education and employability.
The solution is difficult because it is very difficult to rank institutions. The examples I quoted were extreme ones, but in reality, the difference is little less.
Having said that, this is just one of those things in life where we have no control. The rules of the game are set and we need to play according to the rules!
