The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points awarded by the Express Entry Canada immigration system are intended to go to applicants who are most likely to integrate swiftly and prosper economically.

It also aims to halt the trend of an ageing population, which is an increasing source of concern as the baby boomer generation leaves the labour force.

In terms of economic immigration, Canada aims to bring in young, qualified individuals who possess the fundamental competencies necessary for quick employment.

Candidates are given a score under Express Entry, the method of selection utilized for the vast majority of economic immigration programs in Canada, depending on their age and the age of their spouse or partner, if any, if they are married.

The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score that a candidate receives can be increased by up to 110 points. The points available for age can contribute significantly to an application, with Invitations to Apply awarded to candidates scoring in the region of 415 to 460 CRS points.

Candidates need to be mindful of the decrease in available points as they near the end of their 30s. Simply put, submitting your application as soon as feasible will maximize the points available for age if you are considering a Canada immigration project.

Although a candidate who is 29 years old receives a maximum of 110 CRS points for age, after that point, those points start to sharply fall. There are only 55 points left when they are 39.
