Foreign work experience can help improve your CRS (Comprehensive Ranking System) score because it is part of the skill transferability factors.

This section looks at how your education, work experience (both foreign and Canadian), and language skills work together. You can earn up to 100 points in this section.

Here’s how the points are given:

• Education + language skills or Canadian work experience – up to 50 points
• Foreign work experience + language skills or Canadian work experience – up to 50 points
• Certificate of qualification in a trade job – up to 50 points

So, if you have work experience outside Canada and good language skills (or Canadian work experience), you can earn extra points.

Canadian work experience contributes to your CRS score

Canadian work experience is rewarded under the core human capital factors. Candidates without a spouse or common-law partner can receive up to 80 points in this section.
