Hello everyone, Greetings to all. Welcome to another video of Canada PR series

In today's video we will talk about Express Entry's "Eligibility criteria"

First, we will talk about Six Selection Factors of Eligibility

and then we will discuss how do we calculate this eligibility

Based on these factors, Canada's Immigration Department will decide your eligibility

These selection factors are: AGE, LANGUAGE SKILL, EDUCATION, WORK EXPERIENCE, ADAPTABILITY and JOB OFFER IN CANADA

These selection factors contribute to 100 point grid system, where you need to score atleast 67 or more points to be eligible for Canada Express Entry PR

If your score is less than 67, then you are ineligible for Canada PR, and then you have to do few things to improve your score

Let's discuss these 6 selection factors in detail, and understand how each factor can contribute towards your eligibility

First Selection factor is AGE

Here, the minimum age requirement is 18 years and maximum age requirement is 46

Here you can score maximum of 12 points, if you fall under age group of 18 - 35 years

After that, you will loose 1 point for every passing year

Second Selection factor is LANGUAGE SKILL

"ENGLISH" and "FRENCH" are Canada's official languages, and it is very important to know the official language here

Here, you can score maximum of 28 points, for both English and French. You must take an approved Language test to prove your language level

Majority of Indians are not very familiar with French, and for English you need to give IELTS exam

IELTS exam has 4 sections: Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking

In your IELTS exam, your minimum score should be CLB 7 or Band 6, to be eligible to Canada PR

Band 6 implies that in every section you should score atleast 6 or more

And to get maximum points here, your score should be CLB 9 or more

For your First official Language, you can get maximum of 24 points and for second official language, French in this case, you can get maximum of 4 points

Try to get maximum points here to increase your chances for Canada PR

Here you will get maximum of 25 points if you are PhD. If you are Masters, you will get 23 points, and if you have done Bachelors, you will get 21 points
