Canada Skilled Immigration Points Calculator

• Under the Comprehensive Ranking System, of twelve-hundred (1,200) possible CRS points are distributed across several factors.
• A candidate’s age, education, language proficiency and work experience, known as core human capital factors, are awarded a score out of 500. 
• Some of these factors, when combined with each other, are called skill transfer-ability factors and are considered for 100 points. These 600 points constitute a candidate’s core CRS score.
• 600 additional Points are also awarded for factors, such as a provincial nomination, an offer of arranged employment, prior Canadian study experience, french language ability, and a sibling who is a citizen or permanent residence in Canada. These points will help applicants to increase their CRS.

The most valuable additional factor is a provincial nomination, which results in 600 CRS points. Many Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) are only available to candidates in the Express Entry pool.

The Express Entry draw is conducted at regular intervals, so there is always a chance for you to improve your CRS score before a subsequent draw is announced.

If you do not meet the required CRS score you can always find ways to improve your points so that you get the required points to secure an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for the PR visa in the next Express Entry draw.

Here are some ways to improve your CRS score

Boost your language score: If you score well in language tests such as the IELTS, your CRS score will improve. For example, in the language test, if you score a Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) of 9, you’ll get up to 136 direct points added to your CRS ranking. Appearing for a language test in French can also add up to 24 points.

Apply for a PR visa under the PNP under the Provincial Candidate Program: if you receive an invitation, you will receive 600 additional points for your Express Entry profile.

Get a work offer: A job offer from a Canadian employer gives you another 200 points.

Get an education in Canada: Up to 30 extra points can be received if you complete a recognized degree or diploma in Canada.

Application with your spouse for PR: Applying with your spouse for the visa will earn you both additional points. The language proficiency of your spouse would be worth 20 points, while the education level and Canadian work experience can earn you as much as 10 points for each category. So, this will add up to 40 points to your CRS score.

Continue to work: If you have fewer than three years of full-time work experience, and if you continue to work you can add points to your CRS score.
