In the context of the Express Entry system while applying for Permanent Residency in Canada, age contributes to a large extent to an applicant's Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score

Here's how age contributes to CRS scores:

v  Age Points: Applicants can earn a maximum of 110 points for age under the CRS. Points are awarded based on the age of the principal applicant or their spouse or common-law partner, whichever is higher. The points are allocated as follows:

ü  100 points for applicants aged 20 to 29 years.

ü  Points gradually decrease as the age increases, with a maximum deduction of 10 points for applicants aged 40 years and above.

ü  Applicants aged 45 years or older receive zero points for age.

Age	With a spouse or common-law partner	Without a spouse or common-law partner
18 years of age	90	99
19 years of age	95	105
20 to 29 years of age	100	110
30 years of age	95	105
31 years of age	90	99
32 years of age	85	94
33 years of age	80	88
34 years of age	75	83
35 years of age	70	77
36 years of age	65	72
37 years of age	60	66
38 years of age	55	61
39 years of age	50	55
40 years of age	45	50
41 years of age	35	39
42 years of age	25	28
43 years of age	15	17
44 years of age	5	6
45 years of age or more	0	0

 

v  Impact on CRS Score: Age is a significant factor in determining CRS scores. Younger applicants receive higher points for age, which contributes to a higher overall CRS score. This is because younger immigrants are seen as having more potential years to contribute to the Canadian economy and society.

v  Strategic Planning: Since age plays a crucial role in CRS scoring, applicants may strategically plan their immigration applications to maximize their points. For instance, applicants who are nearing the age of 30 may prioritize submitting their profiles before they turn 30 to benefit from the maximum points available for age.

Overall, age is a key determinant of CRS scores in the Express Entry system, and younger applicants generally have an advantage in terms of points allocation. While age is an important factor, it is only one component of the CRS .However, older applicants can still enhance their overall CRS scores by focusing on other factors that contribute to their eligibility for Canadian immigration programs.
