CSR Calculator

Check Your Eligibility

Changes have been made to the CRS points calculator for evaluating scores of applicants under the Canadian Skilled Worker Points System. Accordingly, applicants must score a minimum of 67 points to qualify for immigration to Canada as Skilled Workers. You will be assessed on various factors that include skills, language proficiency, work experience, and others. The Comprehensive Ranking System is a points-based scheme used by the Government of Canada for assessing, allotting scores, and ranking profiles of candidates in the Federal Express Entry Pool. The answers that you provide in your Express Entry profile will determine the calculation of your score in the CRS Calculator. This estimated CRS score will determine if you qualify for the status of a Permanent Resident in Canada through the Express Entry Program. Thus, this tool determines your eligibility for immigration to Canada.

What is a Comprehensive Ranking System?

How CRS Calculator Works?

To calculate the CRS score of the candidates, Express Entry makes use of the credentials submitted by the candidates while creation of their profiles in the pool. The selection factors include education, age, language proficiency, and others.

CRS calculator awards point to candidate’s express entry profile based on the following factors:

Core Human Capital factors
Accompanying common-law partner or spouse factors
Factors transferability of Skill
Factors relating to a nomination from a province, a qualifying offer of prearranged employment, study experience in Canada, a relative in Canada, and/or ability in the French language

A total of 1,200 points are available for Express Entry candidates under the Canadian immigration points calculator CRS.

The candidates who do not have an accompanying common-law partner or spouse have:

A maximum of 500 points can be scored for factors under Core Human Capital
A maximum of 100 points can be scored for factors under skill transferability
A maximum of 600 points can be scored either for provincial nomination; or
A maximum of 200 points can be scored for a qualified pre-arranged employment offer
A maximum of 30 points can be scored for study experience in Canada
A maximum of 50 points can be scored for ability in the French language along with the English language
A maximum of 15 points can be scored for a relative in Canada

The candidates who have an accompanying common-law partner or spouse have:

A maximum of 460 points can be secured in Core Human Capital factors for the primary applicant;
A maximum of 40 points can be secured in Core Human Capital factors for the common-law partner or spouse;
A maximum of 600 points can be scored either for provincial nomination; or
A maximum of 200 points can be scored for a qualified pre-arranged employment offer;
A maximum of 30 points can be scored for study experience in Canada;
A maximum of 50 points can be scored for ability in the French language along with the English language;
A maximum of 15 points that can be scored for a relative in Canada (one relative of the primary applicant and the accompanying common-law partner or spouse is considered);

How to improve your CRS Score?

Express Entry draws are held periodically, usually once every 2 weeks. So you always have the option for increasing your CRS points score before applying for a subsequent draw in Express Entry. There are several ways to increase your CRS score in case you do not fulfill the CRS cut-off requirement in the particular draw. You can thus improve your CRS score and attain the required points for getting an ITA – Invitation to Apply for the Canada PR Visa in the upcoming Express Entry draw.
