Comprehensive Ranking system (CRS) updates to apply Canada Express Entry

As of June 6, 2017, the Canadian government has introduced an additional point system to increase the number of points required for the Canada Express Entry program (Skilled Worker visa/Trade Worker visa).

Suppose a candidate has a sibling (who must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident aged 18 or older) in Canada. In that case, they can claim 15 additional points in their Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score. The candidate can also claim 15 or 30 extra points for their French ability.
