Any way to boost your CRS score if you don’t meet any of the category based CRS draws? I work in finance so those draws don’t apply to me, and currently the general CEC draws they are doing are very high. My CRS score is 493. The latest general selections were in the 540-560 range… I am also in the OINP pool but similarly they have not done any general draws there. Any help would be much appreciated!
