Understand the FSW selection-factor pass mark and why it is separate from your Express Entry CRS score.
Federal Skilled Worker applicants are assessed on a 100-point selection-factor grid. The current pass mark is 67 points. The factors include language ability, education, work experience, age, arranged employment and adaptability.
The 67-point grid determines whether you meet the FSW selection-factor threshold. CRS is the separate 1,200-point ranking system used across eligible Express Entry profiles.
