If you’re planning to immigrate to Canada through the Express Entry system, understanding your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score is crucial. The CRS Calculator helps you estimate your potential score and determine your eligibility for Federal Skilled Worker, Federal Skilled Trades, or Canadian Experience Class programs.
What is the CRS Calculator?
The CRS Calculator is an online tool provided by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) that estimates your score based on key factors like:
- Age
- Education
- Language proficiency (English and/or French)
- Skilled work experience
- Spouse or common-law partner’s profile (if applicable)
- Canadian job offer or nomination from a province
- Other adaptability factors
The tool gives you an approximate CRS score, which determines your ranking in the Express Entry pool.
What is a Good CRS Score?
The higher your CRS score, the better your chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence during a draw. CRS cut-off scores vary from draw to draw. Historically:
- Scores above 470 are considered very competitive.
- Scores between 450–470 often qualify depending on the program.
- Scores below 450 may benefit from Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) or job offers.
