Example Calculation

Let's calculate points for a 32-year-old candidate with a master's degree, 3 years of Canadian work experience, and CLB 7 in both English and French.

Core/Human Capital Factors

Age: 32 (90 points)
Education: Master's degree (150 points)
Canadian work experience: 3 years (120 points)
Foreign work experience: 0 years (0 points)
First language: CLB 7 (25 points)
Second language: CLB 7 (25 points)

Total Core/Human Capital Factors: 90 + 150 + 120 + 0 + 25 + 25 = 410 points

Spouse/Common-law Partner Factors

No spouse or common-law partner: 0 points

Skill Transferability Factors

No additional points: 0 points

Total CRS Points

410 (Core) + 0 (Spouse) + 0 (Skill) = 410 points
