CRS Calculator

This Express Entry CRS Calculator helps you navigate Canada’s Express Entry immigration system.

You need to make sure that your CRS score is above the minimum points score of your round of invitations.

1) What is your marital status?

2) i. Is your spouse or common-law partner a citizen or permanent resident of Canada?

2) ii. Will your spouse or common-law partner come with you to Canada?

3) How old are you?

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.

4) What is your 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.

4b) Have you earned a Canadian degree, diploma or certificate?

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, and have been physically present in Canada for at least eight months

4c) Choose the best answer to describe this level of education.

5) Official languages: Canada's official languages are 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.

i. Are your test results less than two years old?

6) Work Experience

i. In the last ten 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 15hours/week).

Note 2022 update: On November 16, 2022, IRCC has switched to the 2021 version of the NOC (versus the 2016 version). This means that:

the current NOC 2016 skill type and skill level structure (NOC 0, A, B, C and D) will be replaced with a 6-category system representing the training, education, experience, and responsibilities (TEER) needed to work in an occupation. the 4-digit NOC codes will become 5-digit NOC codes.

If you aren’t sure of the TEER level for this job, you can find your TEER here https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/eligibility/find-national-occupation-code.html.

Now that you’ve calculated your CRS score, you have a better idea of how you rank in the Express Entry system. Your score reflects key factors like age, education, work experience, and language skills. This is a great starting point to see how you might qualify for permanent residency. If your score is lower than expected, don’t worry—there are ways to improve it, such as increasing your language proficiency or gaining additional work experience. Trust our Canada immigration services for expert advice on strengthening your application for permanent residency.
