If you receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for Canadian immigration, but your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score drops before you submit your application, you will not be able to apply for permanent residence.
The CRS score is a points-based system that is used to rank eligible Express Entry candidates. The score is calculated based on a number of factors, including your age, education, work experience, language skills, and whether you have a valid job offer in Canada.
If your CRS score drops before you submit your application, it means that you will no longer be eligible for an ITA. This is because the CRS score is used to determine who is invited to apply in each Express Entry draw.
There are a few things you can do to try to prevent your CRS score from dropping. First, you can try to increase your CRS score by improving your education, work experience, or language skills. You can also try to get a valid job offer in Canada.
If your CRS score does drop before you submit your application, you will need to wait until your score increases again or until the CRS cut-off score drops.
Here are some additional tips to help you maintain your CRS score:
- Keep your education current. If you have completed any additional education since you submitted your Express Entry profile, be sure to update your profile.
- Keep your work experience current. If you have changed jobs or gained additional work experience since you submitted your Express Entry profile, be sure to update your profile.
- Improve your language skills. If you have not already done so, take some language classes to improve your English or French skills.
- Get a valid job offer in Canada. If you can get a valid job offer in Canada, this will give you a significant boost in your CRS score.
I hope this helps!
