How CRS Points Are Calculated

The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) is calculated based on several factors, each with a specific point value. The maximum CRS score is 1,200 points.

Education

Education is one of the most significant factors in the CRS calculation. Points are awarded based on your highest level of education and the length of your education.

Example: A Canadian bachelor's degree (3 years) typically earns 100 CRS points.

Work Experience

Work experience is another major factor in the CRS calculation. Points are awarded based on the number of years of skilled work experience you have.

Example: 5 years of skilled work experience typically earns 150 CRS points.

Language Proficiency

Language proficiency is assessed through standardized tests like IELTS or CELPIP. Points are awarded based on your scores in all four language skills (listening, reading, writing, and speaking).

Example: An IELTS score of 7 in all four skills typically earns 100 CRS points.

Age

Age is another factor in the CRS calculation. Points are awarded based on your age group.

Example: Ages 25-32 typically earn 100 CRS points.
