NDTV Profit examines what aspiring candidates can do to score high maximize their odds:
Language Proficiency And Education
According to CICI News, language proficiency continues to have the most potential for score increases.
Shifting from CLB 8 to CLB 9 for all abilities increases the score by 32 points for human capital factors and might sum up to 50 more in the skill transferability section.
Education also has a prominent place, having 60 points allocated for graduating to post-secondary studies from secondary studies and 30 more points for moving to a three-year credential or bachelor’s degree.
Applicants that switch up from one credential to two, which includes one that has a minimum time period of three years may receive 50 extra points as underlined in the skill transferability section.
Furthermore, every foreign credential counted under Express Entry needs an Educational Credential Assessment.
One can accumulate more points from the Canadian post-secondary education, which can provide up to 30 points for a credential spanning three years or more. French proficiency makes up 50 points for those who have NCLC 7 and have at least CLB 5 in English.
Work Experience And Skill Transferability
Work experience in Canada can make up for up to 80 points, with the largest increase seen at the one year milestone, which bestows 40 points extra in comparison to having it below a year's time.
In certain cases, this benchmark may also provide 50 additional points via skill transferability. At least one year of Canadian experience is also needed to qualify for the Canadian Experience Class.
The skill transferability section carries 100 points on its own, and many candidates lean on foreign work experience to increase it as much as they can.
