CRS Points Calculator

Canada maintains two different points-based systems to analyze the eligibility of skilled immigrants. It uses the 67-point system and the CRS points calculator to check whether the candidates qualify for Canada PR. The 67-point system is generally used to check the eligibility of candidates for the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) under the Express Entry program. To qualify for FSWP, candidates must score at least 67 points out of 100. The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) is a points-based system that analyses and ranks Express Entry candidates out of a maximum of 1,200 points. Through the CRS points calculator, candidates are ranked based on several factors such as age, education, language, skills, work experience, etc.

67-Point Calculator for Federal Skilled Worker Program

What is a Comprehensive Ranking System?

The Canadian government uses a points-based system, the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), to evaluate and rank Express Entry candidates. The selection criteria in the tool are based on factors such as age, language, education, work experience, skills, etc. Points in the CRS system are categorized into Core Human Capital Factors, Spouse or Common-Law Partner Factors, Skill Transferability Factors, and other additional Factors. The maximum number of points you can score through the CRS tool is 1,200, and candidates with a high CRS score have better chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for Canada PR.

Total CRS points = Core Points + Additional Points

Core Points (Up to 600)	Additional Points (Up to 600)
Skills and experience factors	Canadian degrees, diplomas, or certificates
Spouse or common-law partner factors (language skills, education)	A valid job offer
Skills transferability (education and work experience)	A nomination from a province or territory
	A sibling living in Canada who is a citizen or permanent resident
	Strong French language skills
Total = 1,200 Points

CRS Score Calculator for Express Entry

Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) is a merit-based points system developed by the government of Canada in order to rank immigration candidates. The CRS assigns scores to each candidate in the Express Entry pool based on factors such as work experience, age, occupation, education, language proficiency, etc. There are three programs managed by Express Entry, they are:

Federal Skilled Worker (FSW)
Federal Skilled Trades (FST)
Canadian Experience Class (CEC)

Express Entry draws are conducted by IRCC regularly and the applicants who score higher will be selected under this program leading to permanent residence in Canada.

Ways to Improve Your CRS Score

There is a chance for you to improve your CRS score as the Express Entry draws are conducted at regular intervals. You can always find ways to improve your CRS score so that you get the required points to secure an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for the PR visa in the next Express Entry draw.

Here are expert tips to improve your CRS score:

📝 Boost Your Language Score

Improve your CRS score by scoring well in language tests such as the IELTS. For instance, if you score a Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) of 9 in the language test, you will be awarded up to 136 direct points added to your CRS ranking. Appearing for a language test in French can also add up to 74 points.

🏛️ Provincial Nominee Program

You will receive an additional 600 points for your Express Entry profile if you receive an invitation from a Canadian province in the Provincial Nominee Program.

💼 Get a Work Offer [LMIA Approved]

You can get up to 200 points if you receive a job offer from a Canadian employer recognized by the Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA).

🎓 Get an Education in Canada

Up to 30 extra points can be received if you complete a recognized degree or diploma in Canada.

👫 Dependent Included in the Application (Spouse/Common-Law Partner)

Applying with your spouse for the visa will earn you both additional points. The language proficiency of your spouse would be worth 20 points, while the education level and Canadian work experience can earn you as much as 10 points for each category. So, this will add up to 40 points to your CRS score.

🛠️ Canadian Work Experience

If you have fewer than three years of full-time work experience and if you continue to work, you can add a maximum of 180 points to your CRS score.
