Express Entry CRS calculator

Prepared by the Team of Sean G McKinsley and Kimberly J White

1. Marital Status & Partner Status

Marital Status

Is your spouse/partner a Canadian Citizen or Permanent Resident?

Will your spouse/partner come with you to Canada?

2. Core / Human Capital & Labour Market Integration Factors

Your Age

Highest Level of Education (Canadian or ECA-verified equivalent)

Canadian Post-Secondary Credential (for Additional Points)

Canadian Skilled Work Experience (TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3 in last 10 years)

Count only qualifying paid, authorized work physically in Canada in the last 10 years; full-time means 30 hours per week (or part-time equivalent). Do not count work during full-time study, unauthorized work or self-employment, except qualifying publicly funded physician work under IRCC rules.

Qualifying high-wage Canadian work experience (12+ months combined)

Use IRCC’s occupation-list tier, not your salary. Choose the highest tier supported by at least 12 months (1,560 hours) in one or more qualifying occupations; eligible experience can be combined across occupations and tiers. Do not count overlapping hours above 30 hours per week.

Qualifying Job Offer in a High-Wage Occupation (Your occupation is on IRCC’s high-wage list at 1.3x / 1.5x / 2x)

Tied to the occupation’s national median wage on IRCC’s high-wage list (no LMIA required under CRS). Scored if higher than your combined Canadian work + high-wage experience points.

The offer must meet IRCC’s genuine, full-time Canadian job-offer requirements and last at least one year after permanent residence is issued. An LMIA is not required for Express Entry job-offer points; this does not remove work-permit or other-program requirements.

Foreign Skilled Work Experience (TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3 in last 10 years)

Certificate of Qualification in a Trade from a Canadian Province/Territory
