Overview

CRS score calculator

The Comprehensive Ranking System ranks eligible Express Entry profiles out of 1,200 points. This estimator follows the current federal grid and shows the contribution from core, spouse, transferability and additional factors.

Planning estimate

Estimate your CRS score

Use the CLB or NCLC equivalents from an approved language test. A spouse counts here only when accompanying you and not already a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.

A job offer adds zero CRS points under the rules effective March 25, 2025, though it can still affect program eligibility. IRCC makes the official calculation.

Enter test results as CLB or NCLC levels

Language points are awarded separately for speaking, listening, reading and writing. Convert the score from an approved test using IRCC’s equivalency table instead of entering the raw test band.

The first and second official languages have different point scales.

Job offers no longer add CRS points

IRCC removed the 50- and 200-point arranged-employment awards on March 25, 2025. A qualifying offer can still matter to eligibility under a federal or provincial program, so it should not simply be left out of the immigration analysis.

A provincial nomination continues to add 600 points.

Why an official total can differ

Education must match the correct Canadian credential or educational credential assessment category. Work must satisfy the applicable occupation, hours, authorization and time-period rules; a spouse’s status also changes which scoring column applies.

Use IRCC’s own tool and retain the documents behind every answer before creating or updating a profile.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about crs score calculator

Does a high CRS score make someone eligible for Express Entry?

Not by itself. The person must first qualify for at least one Express Entry program.

Does this predict the next invitation cut-off?

No. Cut-offs depend on the type and size of each invitation round and the profiles in the pool.
