Going by the past record for express entry draws, the CRS cut off has been between 470- 475 points. If applicant score more than 470 points, this can lead to ITA to apply for Canada PR visa.
With the help of CRS score, express entry will rank the profiles in the express entry pool in decreasing order. The higher the score, the greater are the chances for immigrants with highly demanding skills and work experience. IRCC can target only those profiles with a high CRS score, this will help the ever-increasing CRS score cut off. Meeting the admission targets for near immigrants, CRS score required for Canada PR visa is bound to decrease.
