One of the three Express Entry programs. For skilled workers with foreign or Canadian work experience who plan to live outside Quebec.

• Skilled work in TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3.
• At least 1 year continuous paid work (1,560 hours) in the last 10 years in the same NOC as your primary occupation.
• CLB 7 in all 4 abilities. Below CLB 7 is not eligible.
• Canadian credential, or a completed foreign credential plus an ECA for immigration.
• At least 67/100 on the FSW selection factors. That grid is not CRS.
• Proof of funds unless you can legally work in Canada and have a valid job offer from an employer in Canada.

FSW points are not CRS

The 67/100 grid decides whether you can enter the pool through this door. CRS then ranks the profile against other people in the pool. Do not mix the two scores.

Next: how the system works, then the CRS calculator.
