Example Calculation

Let's calculate the points for a candidate with the following profile:

Age: 32 years
Education: Bachelor's degree

Language proficiency: CLB 8 (English)

Formula: Total Points = Age Points + Education Points + Work Experience Points + Language Points

32 years → 11 points

Bachelor's degree → 34 points

3 years work experience → 33 points

CLB 8 → 22 points

Total Points = 11 + 34 + 33 + 22 = 100 points

This candidate would meet the minimum requirement of 67 points and would be eligible for the Ontario PNP.
