If you’ve completed at least one year of post-secondary education in Canada, you may earn up to 30 extra CRS points, depending on credential level and duration.
Points vary by credential: diplomas or certificates (at least one year) earn fewer points than bachelor’s or master’s degrees. Ensure your institution is on IRCC’s designated list.
Consider one-year postgraduate diplomas or certificates in high-demand fields to quickly gain extra CRS points and improve your ranking.
Combine education points with language, work experience, and PNP nominations for a competitive profile that stands out in the pool.
