1. What is the Canada Immigration Points System?

The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) is used to assess and score a candidate's profile for immigration to Canada through Express Entry. Points are awarded for factors like age, education, language skills, and work experience.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the basic CRS points formula:

Where:

• \( Age \) — Points based on your age (12 points maximum)
• \( Education \) — Points based on your highest level of education (150 points maximum)
• \( Language \) — Points based on your official language proficiency (32 points maximum per language)
• \( Work \) — Points based on your Canadian work experience (70 points maximum)

3. Importance of Points Calculation

Details: The CRS score determines your ranking in the Express Entry pool. Higher scores increase your chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Select your age group, highest education level, language proficiency (CLB level), and years of Canadian work experience. The calculator will sum your points in these categories.
