CRS scores are calculated based on a candidate’s age, education, work experience, and language ability, among other factors. Candidates with higher scores have a greater chance of receiving an ITA. ITAs allow candidates to apply for permanent residence under one of Canada’s immigration programs, such as the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Federal Skilled Trades Program, or the Canadian Experience Class.
