1. What is the Express Entry System?

The Express Entry system is Canada's application management system for skilled workers who want to immigrate to Canada permanently. Your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score determines your ranking in the Express Entry pool.

2. How Points Are Calculated

The calculator uses the following formula:

Where:

• \( Age \) — Points based on your age (max 110)
• \( Education \) — Points for your education level (max 150)
• \( Language \) — Points for language proficiency (max 136)
• \( Work \) — Points for work experience (max 80)
• \( Additional \) — Additional points for factors like Canadian experience

3. Importance of Your Score

Details: Higher scores increase your chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence. The minimum score changes with each Express Entry draw.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your accurate information in each category. For language points, use your official language test results. Work experience must be skilled (NOC 0, A, or B).
