new crs Points Calculator - as of Nov 3, 2026
Marital Status
If your spouse or partner is a Canadian citizen or PR, or isn't coming with you, you're scored as if you're single.
Age and Education
Age on the date you're invited to apply. Foreign credentials need an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA).
Language Ability
Test results must be less than 2 years old. Points depend on your Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) level in each ability.
Canadian Work Experience

Job Offer
From November 3, 2026, a job offer no longer needs an LMIA. It earns points only if it's in a high-wage occupation, and an officer must be satisfied it's genuine.
Foreign Work Experience and Trades
Used for skill transferability points, combined with your language results and Canadian experience.
Spouse or Partner
Only counts if your spouse or partner is coming with you and is not a Canadian citizen or PR.
