If I have a targeted Agriculture and agri-food Occupation, does my CRS score still matter?

Your CRS score remains crucial even with targeted Agriculture and agri-food occupations. However, in Agriculture and agri-food occupations draws, the CRS score needed to secure an ITA tends to be lower compared to comprehensive program draws. For example, in the inaugural Agriculture and agri-food occupations draw, the CRS cutoff stood at 354, notably lower than the 524 required in concurrent all- program draws.
