    • For instance, a scoring range between 481 to 490 CRS, which is increased by 512 candidates. This may be a positive sign for Canada as they will get skilled workers.
    • On the other side, this hike will create a competitive environment for the applicants.
    • However, a significant downfall has been noticed for the score range 491-500 CRS. More than 50 per cent of applicants have been cleared between two draws duration.
    • A total of almost 600 candidates decreased between the last to recent draws.

Additionally, the reducing CRS Score is also a good sign for the candidates.
