The CRS (Comprehensive Ranking System) calculator is an online tool used in the Canadian Permanent Residency (PR) program to determine a candidate's eligibility for the Express Entry system. The Express Entry system is an online system used to manage applications for permanent residence from skilled workers who want to immigrate to Canada.
The CRS calculator assigns a score to each candidate based on several factors, including age, education, language proficiency, work experience, and other factors that determine their ability to integrate into the Canadian labor market and society. The CRS score is then used to rank candidates in the Express Entry pool, and the highest-ranked candidates are invited to apply for permanent residency.
The CRS score is calculated based on a maximum of 1,200 points. A candidate can earn up to 500 points for their core human capital factors, which include age, education, language proficiency, and work experience. Additional points can be earned through factors such as a job offer from a Canadian employer, a provincial nomination, or having a sibling in Canada.
The CRS calculator is an essential tool for anyone interested in immigrating to Canada through the Express Entry system. It allows candidates to assess their eligibility and determine their chances of being invited to apply for permanent residency. The CRS score is updated regularly to reflect changes in the labor market and other factors, so it's essential to keep track of any changes that may affect your score.
All Express Entry candidates get a score out of 1,200, based on the four parts of the Comprehensive Ranking System formula.
We invite the highest-ranking candidates from the pool to apply as a permanent resident through regular “rounds of invitations.” See what minimum scores have been in the past.
