Please Clarify Point system used to qualify for an invitation through ExpressEnt

[sunnyy25]

HI Guys,

Hope you are well, I was browsing through these forums and seen for express entry people have various point anywhere from 400 to 1000 points ... I would like to know what is the criteria or set formula in finding out how many points I will get according to my qualification , experience , and background...

I understand pass mark for Express Entry is 67 points...

However how many estimated points are required to actually get an invitation through express entry as I know they only pick the highest marks in that pool

And will having a close family member as Canadian citizen increase points or chances of getting invitation

regards

Many thanks

Sunny

Also Please clarify taking a Ielts exam - how much jump in points can you get provided you get a real high mark....
and any other tests that can be given to increase points...
