CRS Calculator

This calculator will help you compute your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score based on your answers. The CRS score is based on a system that we use to assess and score your profile and rank it in the Express Entry pool. It is used to assess your:

Formal education
Language skills
Employment experience
and other factors

1) Select your marital status?

2) i. Is your spouse or common-law partner a citizen or permanent resident of Canada?

2) ii. Will your spouse or common-law partner come with you to Canada?

3) Your age?

Choose the best answer:

4) What is your level of education?

Enter the highest level of education for which you:

earned a Canadian degree, diploma or certificate
have an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) if your studies were completed outside Canada. (ECAs should be from an approved agency, in the last five years)

Note: a Canadian diploma, degree or certificate must either have been received through an accredited Canadian institution in Canada. Distance learning counts for education points, but does not offer any bonus points in your profile or application.

4b) Have you earned a Canadian degree, diploma or certificate? Note: to answer yes:

English or French as a Second Language must not have made up more than half your study.
you must not have studied under an award that required you to return to your home country after graduation to apply your skills and knowledge.
you must have studied at a school inside Canada (foreign campuses don’t count)
you had to be enrolled full time for at least eight calendar months and have been tangibly present in Canada for at least eight months.

4c) Choose the best answer to describe this level of schooling.

5) Official languages: Canada's official languages are English and French. You need to submit language test results that are less than two years old for all programs under Express Entry, even if English or French is your first language.

i. Are your test results less than two years old?

6) Work Experience

i. In the past 10 years, how many years of skilled work experience inside Canada do you have?

It must have been paid and full-time (or an equal amount in part-time).

Note: In Canada, the National Occupational Classification (NOC) is the official list of all the jobs in the Canadian labour market. It describes each job according to skill type, group and level.

"Skilled work" in the NOC is:

managerial jobs (NOC Skill Level 0)
professional jobs (NOC Skill Type A)
technical jobs and skilled trades/manual work (NOC Skill Type B)

If you aren’t sure of the NOC level for this job, you can find your NOC.

11) What is the highest level of education for which your spouse or common-law partner's has:

earned a Canadian degree, diploma or certificate; or
had an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA)? (ECAs must be from an approved agency, in the last five years)

To get the correct number of points, make sure you choose the answer that best reflects your case. For example:

If you have TWO Bachelor’s degrees, or one Bachelor’s AND a two year college diploma, choose – “Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years.”
