Points for close relatives

[SJR_Spencer]

Hi All,

I am in the process of creating my EE profile. I should have one up by the second week of April. I did a trial run in the CRS tool and there was no question about close relatives in Canada for the applicants.

Whilst filling in the EE profile, are there any questions about close relatives. If so, does that mean we'll get points for that?

Warm regards,
Spencer.

No, it will not add any points to your Express Entry CRS score. As far as I know, you will get 5 points under the FSW 67/100 points calculation.

Aah, that's sad. The tool gives me 462 based on the details I provided. In November 2016, I am a year older and the score reduces by 5. I am worried that'll impact chances of getting an ITA!

462 is a great score and November is a long way ahead, you should most possibly get an ITA in next few rounds. Once you get ITA any points drop due to age will not matter then. Look out for draws on Wednesdays. All the best!

Thank you Stanlee. That lifted my spirits a bit.

No pressure .. Fingers crossed.

New govt is considering some changes in EE. Points for close relatives is in that agenda.
