Which high-wage occupation are you in?
From November 3, 2026, IRCC awards extra CRS points for at least 12 months of Canadian work experience in a high-wage occupation (70, 40 or 20 points), or for a job offer in one (100, 70 or 50 points). Whether an occupation counts is decided by the median wage of its whole NOC, not your own pay.
