Express Entry CRS Points Calculator 

​

The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) is a points-based system used by the Canadian government to assess and score a candidate's profile and rank it in the Express Entry pool. The CRS Score Calculator is a tool that helps you estimate your CRS score.

​

How Does the CRS Calculator Work?

The CRS Calculator evaluates your profile based on several factors such as age, education, language proficiency, work experience, and other factors. Each of these factors contributes to your overall CRS score.

​

  • Level of Education: Maximum 140 points with a spouse or common-law partner, and 150 points without.

  • Official Languages Proficiency: Maximum 150 points with a spouse or common-law partner, and 160 points without.

  • Canadian Work Experience: Maximum 70 points with a spouse or common-law partner, and 80 points without.

  • Level of Education: Up to 10 points.

  • Official Language Proficiency: Up to 20 points.

  • Canadian Work Experience: Up to 10 points.

  • French Language Skills: Up to 50 points.

  • Post-secondary Education in Canada: Up to 30 points.

  • Arranged Employment: Up to 200 points.
