The breakdown scores are divided into 2 groups, Category A and Category B. The two scoring groups show how having a spouse or common-law partner in your application and not having a spouse or common-law partner in your application may impact your CRS.
This section considers factors such as age, level of education, official language (English and French) efficiency, and work experience in Canada. With an accompanying spouse or common-law partner included, applicants can get 460 points for all these factors. Applicants can get a maximum of 500 points with a non-accompanying spouse or common-law partner.
The factors of Category A and the points associated with it are listed below:
Human Capital factors |
Points with Spouse |
Points without Spouse |
Age |
Maximum of 100 |
Maximum of 110 |
Level of education |
Maximum of 140 |
Maximum of 150 |
Official language (English and French) proficiency |
Maximum of 32 (First official language), Maximum of 22 (Second official language), |
Maximum of 34 (First official language), Maximum of 24 (Second official language), |
Canadian work experience |
Maximum of 70 |
Maximum of 80 |

Applicants who accompany a spouse or common-law partner in their application have access to another category of points, and those applicants who do not accompany a spouse or common-law partner do not have access to that category.
Therefore, applicants accompanying their partners will get fewer points in the human capital factors category to balance the scores equally.
This section considers the same factors as Category A but for the accompanying spouse or common-law partner listed in an applicant’s immigration application.
The factors of Category B and the points associated with it are listed below:
Spouse or common-law partner factors |
Points with Spouse |
Level of education |
Maximum of 10 |
Official language (English and French) proficiency |
Maximum of 20 |
Canadian work experience |
Maximum of 10 |
Conclusion
The maximum number of points that is achieved by Category A + Category B of the CRS remains the same for individuals with an accompanying or non-accompanying spouse or common-law partner in their application – the choice of adding one’s significant to another for a better life in Canada is often non-negotiable.
