Express Entry CRS calculator

I have an accompanying spouse or common-law partner The points table has separate columns for applicants with and without a spouse. With a spouse, core human capital points are capped at 460 and spouse factors at 40, for a combined maximum of 500. Without a spouse, core human capital points are capped at 500. If your spouse is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, or is not accompanying you, score as if single. Official details → With a spouse, core human capital points are capped at 460 and spouse factors at 40.

Age Age points peak at 20–29, decrease from 30 and reach zero at 45. Use your current age in whole years before an invitation, or your age on the invitation date once invited. Official details → Enter your current age in whole years, or your age on the invitation date if you have been invited.

Highest level of education Foreign credentials need an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) that is still valid when you submit. Canadian credentials do not need one. This answer also determines your education category for skill transferability. Official details → This credential is used for both core and skill transferability points.

Canadian work experience Full-time (or equivalent part-time) work in Canada in TEER 0–3, with valid status, accumulated over the last 10 years. It counts twice: in the core section, and in skill transferability (education × Canadian experience, and foreign experience × Canadian experience). Work done on a study permit as part of your studies does not count. Official details →

Choose your first official language Choose English or French as your first official language, usually the one with stronger results. The other is your second official language. English uses CLB and French uses NCLC. Your results also determine any French-language additional points. Official details → Use CLB for English and NCLC for French. French-language additional points are calculated from your results in both languages.

First official language · Reading Your first official language is scored separately for reading, writing, listening and speaking. The points for your lowest result are not multiplied by four. For example, CLB 10/10/10/6 earns a different score from CLB 6 in all four abilities. Enter all four results. You choose your first and second official languages. Your stronger language is usually the better choice for the first. Official details →

Post-secondary education in Canada Choose an eligible Canadian credential separately from your highest education. A one- or two-year credential earns 15; a three-year-plus credential or eligible master’s, entry-to-practice professional or doctoral degree earns 30. Normally, study must be at an eligible institution in Canada, with at least eight months each of full-time study and physical presence. More than half distance learning normally excludes the bonus; programs undertaken wholly or partly from March 1, 2020 to August 31, 2022 have exceptions. Check section 30 for these and other eligibility conditions. Official details →

I hold a provincial or territorial nomination Receiving and accepting a provincial or territorial nomination through Express Entry earns 600 additional points. Whether you receive an invitation depends on the rounds held and your ranking. These 600 points count as additional points, not skill transferability points. Official details →
