How to Calculate Ontario PNP Points (2018)

The Ontario PNP point system for 2018 evaluates candidates based on several key factors. The total points required for nomination vary by stream, but typically range from 67 to 100 points. Here's how the calculation works:

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

Each category contributes to the total score, with different point allocations for each factor. The calculator below simplifies this process by allowing you to input your details and receive an instant point assessment.

Point Categories and Scoring

The 2018 Ontario PNP point system includes the following categories:

Category	Maximum Points	Description
Age	12	Points awarded based on the applicant's age, with higher points for younger candidates.
Education	35	Points for completed education, with higher education levels receiving more points.
Work Experience	25	Points for relevant Canadian work experience, with higher points for more years of experience.
Language Proficiency	25	Points for English and French language proficiency, based on CLB/NCLB levels.
Adaptability	23	Points for factors like settlement funds, job offers, and family in Ontario.

Each category has specific point allocations based on the candidate's qualifications. The calculator accounts for these variations to provide an accurate point assessment.

Example Calculation

Let's walk through an example to illustrate how the Ontario PNP point calculator works. Consider a candidate with the following qualifications:

Age: 35 years
Education: Bachelor's degree (13 points)
Work Experience: 5 years of relevant Canadian experience (15 points)
Language Proficiency: CLB 7 in English and CLB 5 in French (10 points)
Adaptability: $10,000 settlement funds and family in Ontario (10 points)

Total Points = 12 (Age) + 13 (Education) + 15 (Work Experience) + 10 (Language) + 10 (Adaptability) = 60 Points

This example shows how the calculator combines different factors to determine the total points. The actual points may vary based on specific qualifications and the latest scoring guidelines.
