Your CRS score after November 3, 2026.

IRCC is replacing the Canadian work experience points with a new Labour Market Integration factor worth up to 150 points. Enter your profile to see the score under the new rules next to the score under the current ones.

From November 3, 2026 IRCC awards points for either Canadian work experience (work length plus up to 70 high-wage points) or a qualifying job offer (50, 70 or 100 points), whichever is higher, not both. IRCC will recalculate existing profiles, which could take up to two weeks, and will pause invitation rounds meanwhile.

Labour Market Integration (new from November 3, 2026)

IRCC awards either Canadian work experience points (work length plus high-wage points) or job offer points, whichever is higher. Whether an occupation is high-wage, and at which level, comes from IRCC's high-wage occupation list. The fields below take months of Canadian work experience only in eligible high-wage occupations; each band includes the higher ones.

Months in occupations with median wage at least 2× the average median wage

Months in occupations at least 1.5× (include any months from the row above)

Months in occupations at least 1.3× (include any months from the rows above)

Qualifying job offer in an eligible high-wage occupation

What changes, and what does not

Factor	Today	From November 3, 2026
Canadian work experience (core)	0 to 80 points without a spouse, 0 to 70 with one, by years worked	Replaced by the Labour Market Integration factor
Labour Market Integration	Does not exist	Up to 150 points without a spouse, 140 with one. Higher of: work experience (work length plus high-wage points) or a qualifying job offer
Job offer points	None (removed March 25, 2025)	100, 70 or 50 points for a qualifying offer in an eligible high-wage occupation
Skill transferability	Uses Canadian experience length	Unchanged: still uses length only, not the high-wage points
Age, education, official languages, spouse factors, additional points	Per IRCC's CRS criteria tables	IRCC's changes page lists no change to these, so they are scored as today

What this calculator does not decide

Which occupations are high-wage, and at which level. IRCC defines a high-wage occupation as one where the median wage of all people in Canada doing that job is at least 1.3 times the average median wage, grouped into three levels by NOC code. You choose the level from IRCC's list; the tool does not look it up.
Whether your job offer is valid or genuine. An officer assesses that when you apply. From November 3, 2026 an LMIA is not needed for a job offer to qualify for CRS points or program eligibility.
What counts as qualifying work experience. The eligibility requirements for Canadian work experience are not changing, and 12 months means 12 months or 1,560 hours.
Federal Skilled Worker and Federal Skilled Trades eligibility. IRCC assesses job offer points and program eligibility separately.

Everything else uses the same tables as the current-rules calculator, which are IRCC's CRS criteria tables.

Frequently asked questions

When do the new CRS points start?

IRCC says November 3, 2026. It will recalculate the points in existing profiles, which could take up to two weeks, and will pause invitation rounds during that time.

Can I get points for both work experience and a job offer?

No. IRCC says you can only receive points for Canadian work experience or an eligible job offer, not both. Your score uses whichever gives the higher number.

What is the maximum possible score?

The result shows each factor against its maximum (for example Labour Market Integration is 150 without a spouse and 140 with one). IRCC's changes page does not state a new overall total, so this calculator shows the sum of the factors and keeps the 1,200 cap the current-rules calculator uses. Check IRCC for the official overall figure.

Do I still need an LMIA for my job offer?

Not from November 3, 2026, according to IRCC: an LMIA is not needed for a job offer to qualify for program eligibility or CRS points, and having one gives no extra points.

Will cut-offs change?

This page can't say. Draw cut-offs published before November 3 were set on the old scoring; see the draw history for past rounds.

Estimate, not advice

This estimate applies IRCC's published tables to the answers you give. It does not assess eligibility, whether work experience or a job offer qualifies, or which occupation level applies. IRCC's own calculator and officers decide your actual score.
