Yes, you can still receive an Invitation to Apply after age 40. While age points decrease significantly (50 points at 40 for single, 45 for married), you can compensate with strong language scores, education, work experience, a Provincial Nominee Program nomination (+600 points), or a valid job offer.

Married applicants with an accompanying spouse receive slightly fewer age points (max 100 vs 110) because they can earn additional points through their spouse's education, language ability, and Canadian work experience. The total maximum CRS score remains 1,200 for both categories.

You receive 0 age points if you are 17 years old or younger, or 45 years old or older. However, you can still be eligible for Express Entry at these ages if you score enough points from other factors.

For single applicants, you lose approximately 5-6 points per year from age 30 to 40 (going from 105 at age 30 down to 50 at age 40). After 40, the decline accelerates: losing 11 points per year from 40 to 44. For married applicants, the decrease is about 5 points per year from 30 to 40.
