The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) is the main tool used by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to determine eligibility for Canadian permanent residence. For Ontario, the provincial nomination program (PNP) adds additional points to your CRS score.
How the CRS Works
The CRS score ranges from 0 to 1,200 points. The higher your score, the more likely you are to receive an invitation to apply for permanent residence. The minimum score required for an invitation is currently 470 points.
Core CRS Factors
The CRS considers several key factors when calculating your score:
- Age: Points decrease as you get older
- Education: Higher education levels earn more points
- Work experience: Canadian work experience earns more points than foreign experience
- Language ability: Points for both English and French
- Canadian work experience: Additional points for skilled work in Canada
- Spouse or common-law partner factors: Points for their education, work experience, and language ability
- Additional points: For siblings in Canada, study in Canada, etc.
CRS Formula
The CRS score is calculated as the sum of points from all the above factors. The maximum possible score is 1,200 points.
Ontario-Specific Factors
Ontario's provincial nomination program adds additional points to your CRS score. These points are calculated based on:
- Job offer: Points for a valid job offer in Ontario
- Education in Ontario: Points for completing education in Ontario
- Work experience in Ontario: Points for working in Ontario
- Language proficiency: Additional points for English or French
- Spouse factors: Points for spouse's education and work experience in Ontario
Ontario's PNP adds up to 600 additional points to your CRS score, making the maximum possible score 1,800 points.
