CRS score of 370: are you eligible for Ontario or Alberta PNP streams?

Step-by-Step

A CRS score on its own doesn't determine PNP eligibility the same way it drives Express Entry draws — each province runs its own criteria.

  1. Check the specific eligibility criteria on each province's own PNP page rather than assuming a CRS threshold applies uniformly — Ontario and Alberta each publish their own requirements (occupation lists, work experience, connection to the province, etc.) separate from CRS.

  2. For Alberta specifically, historical Alberta Advantage Immigration Program CRS-range draws have targeted roughly 300–400, so a score of 370 has fallen within range in the past — but this depends heavily on whether your occupation (NOC) is one Alberta is actively targeting in a given draw. Treat this as historically informative, not a guarantee, since PNP draw ranges shift over time.

  3. Ontario's PNP eligibility is less about a flat CRS cutoff and more about matching specific streams (e.g. Human Capital Priorities, French-Speaking Skilled Worker, in-demand skills streams) — check which stream your NOC and profile fit before assuming eligibility either way.


Bottom line: don't rely on your CRS number alone. Match your NOC and profile against each province's current stream criteria, and treat any CRS range mentioned by other applicants as a snapshot in time, not a fixed rule.

Dos, Don'ts & Tips

  • Tip: Check each province's own PNP eligibility page directly — CRS alone doesn't determine PNP eligibility.
  • Tip: Historically Alberta's PNP CRS-range draws have run roughly 300–400, but this varies by draw and targeted occupation, so treat it as a reference point, not a guarantee.
  • Don't: Don't assume Ontario eligibility works the same way as Alberta's CRS-range approach — Ontario's streams are structured differently.
