CRS Score Calculator

The CRS Score Calculator is a valuable tool designed to help prospective immigrants to Canada assess their eligibility for various Express Entry programs. The Comprehensive Ranking System is the points-based system used by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to evaluate candidates’ profiles based on several factors, including age, education, work experience, language proficiency, and more.

Personal Information

What is your marital status?

Is your spouse or common-law partner a citizen or permanent resident of Canada?

Will your spouse or common-law partner come with you to Canada?

Age

Choose the best answer:

If you’ve been invited to apply, enter your age on the date you were invited.
OR
If you plan to complete an Express Entry profile, enter your current age.

Level of Education

Enter the highest level of education for which you:

earned a Canadian degree, diploma or certificate or
had an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) if you did your study outside Canada. (ECAs must be from an approved agency, in the last five years)

Note: a Canadian degree, diploma or certificate must either have been earned at an accredited Canadian university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute in Canada. Distance learning counts for education points, but not for bonus points in your profile or application.

Have you earned any degree, diploma or certificate inside Canada?

Note: to answer yes:

English or French as a Second Language must not have made up more than half your study
you must not have studied under an award that required you to return to your home country after graduation to apply your skills and knowledge
you must have studied at a school within Canada (foreign campuses don’t count)
you had to be enrolled full time for at least eight months, unless you completed the study or training program (in whole or in part) between March 2020 and August 2022
you had to have been physically present in Canada for at least eight months, unless you completed the study or training program (in whole or in part) between March 2020 and August 2022

Choose the best answer to describe this level of education (inside Canada)

Official languages (English and French)

You need to submit language test results that are less than two years old for all programs under Express Entry, even if English or French is your first language.

Are your test results less than two years old?

Work Experience

In the last 10 years, how many years of skilled work experience in Canada do you have?

It must have been paid and full-time (or an equal amount in part-time).

Note: In Canada, the National Occupational Classification (NOC) is the official list of all the jobs in the Canadian labour market. It describes each job according to the training, education, experience and responsibilities (TEER) needed to work in the job.

Skilled work in the NOC is TEER 0, 1, 2 or 3 category jobs:

TEER 0 - Management Occupations
TEER 1 - University Degree Required
TEER 2 - College Diploma, Apprenticeship, or Supervisory Occupations
TEER 3 - College Diploma, Apprenticeship, or On-the-Job Training

If you aren’t sure of the NOC level for this job, you can find your NOC.

Do you have a certificate of qualification from a Canadian province, territory or federal body?

Note: A certificate of qualification lets people work in some skilled trades in Canada. Only the provinces, territories and a federal body can issue these certificates. To get one, a person must have them assess their training, trade experience and skills to and then pass a certification exam.

People usually have to go to the province or territory to be assessed. They may also need experience and training from an employer in Canada.

This isn’t the same as a nomination from a province or territory.

Additional Points

Do you have a valid job offer supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment?

A valid job offer must be

full-time
in a skilled job listed as NOC TEER 0, 1, 2 or 3 in the National Occupational Classification (NOC Version 2021)
supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) or exempt from needing one
for one year from the time you become a permanent resident

A job offer isn’t valid if your employer is:

an embassy, high commission or consulate in Canada or
on the list of ineligible employers.

Whether an offer is valid or not also depends on different factors, depending on your case. See a full list of criteria for valid job offers.

Which NOC skill type or level is the job offer?

You can use our online tool to find out if you don’t know.

Do you have a nomination certificate from a province or territory?

Do you or your spouse or common law partner (if they will come with you to Canada) have at least one brother or sister living in Canada who is a citizen or permanent resident?

Note: to answer yes, the brother or sister must be:

18 years old or older
related to you or your partner by blood, marriage, common-law partnership or adoption
have a parent in common with you or your partner

A brother or sister is related to you by:

blood (biological)
adoption
marriage (step-brother or step-sister)
