I am quoting one of my old posts!cooltraveler said:Quick Question Kabayans, What's the difference between getting a CRS score and a FSW score? Are both needed?

Look at it this way: They serve entirely different purposes yet are complementary.
The 1200 point system (CRS) determines the priority WHEN you will be invited to apply.
The 100 point system (FSW) determines IF you can apply, i.e. your eligibility. This does not apply if you are applying to Express Entry under CEC or FST.
The cutoff for the 1200 system changes every 2 weeks.
The passing for the 100 system (FSW) is a constant 67. It is only exclusive to FSW.
