Formula Used

Total Points = Age Points + Education Points + Work Experience Points + Language Proficiency Points + Adaptability Points

The calculator uses the official 2018 scoring system for the Ontario Express Entry program. Points are awarded based on the following factors:

Age (maximum 12 points)
Education (maximum 25 points)
Canadian work experience (maximum 15 points)
Language proficiency (maximum 25 points)
Adaptability (maximum 7 points)

Key Factors Affecting Your Score

Age

Age points are calculated based on your age at the time of application. Younger applicants receive more points.

Education

Education points are awarded based on your highest level of education completed. The maximum points are awarded for a PhD or master's degree.

Canadian Work Experience

Canadian work experience is calculated in years. Each year of experience earns you 1 point, up to a maximum of 15 points.

Language Proficiency

Language proficiency is assessed through the Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) test. Points are awarded based on your CLB level in both English and French.

Adaptability

Adaptability points are awarded based on your ability to settle in Ontario. This includes factors like having a job offer, being sponsored by a family member, or having a valid job offer from an Ontario employer.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the points for a 32-year-old applicant with:

Master's degree
3 years of Canadian work experience
CLB 7 in English and CLB 5 in French
Job offer from an Ontario employer

Factor	Points
Age (32)	12
Education (Master's)	25
Canadian Work Experience (3 years)	3
Language Proficiency (CLB 7 English, CLB 5 French)	12
Adaptability (Job offer)	7
Total	63

This applicant would score 63 points, which is below the 67-point minimum required for consideration in 2018. They would need to improve their language proficiency or gain more Canadian work experience to meet the minimum requirement.
