The short answer to this question is yes, particularly if you are applying under the economic class.
The Canada Express Entry System includes Comprehensive Ranking System points for age as one of the core factors determining the long-term success of an immigrant. The highest-scoring age range is 20-29, worth 110 points. As you get older, the points available drop. If you are 45 or older, there are no points available for age. However, that does not mean you should give up. Even with zero points for age, there are still plenty available for other core factors, such as education, language and work experience. Plus, a provincial nomination secures 600 points by itself and effectively guarantees an Invitation to Apply in the next Express Entry draw. Meanwhile, under family class immigration, age becomes less of a factor. Express Entry CRS Points Available Based on Age
The CRS Points Allocation System Candidates can typically score a maximum of 1,200 points in the CRS. The criteria for allocation of points:
