How Is Your CRS Score Calculated?

The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) ranks eligible candidates in the Express Entry pool. The maximum possible score is 1,200 points.

The score is based on four main components:

  • Core human capital factors: Age, education, language proficiency and Canadian work experience.

  • Spouse or common-law partner factors: Eligible qualifications of an accompanying spouse or partner.

  • Skill transferability factors: Certain combinations of education, language ability and work experience.

  • Additional points: Factors such as a provincial nomination, eligible Canadian education, French-language proficiency and a qualifying sibling in Canada
