Express Entry CRS calculator.

Score your Comprehensive Ranking System points out of 1,200: core human capital factors, spouse factors, skill transferability, and additional points — using IRCC's own published tables.

As of 25 March 2025, IRCC removed job offer points from the CRS entirely. This calculator does not award any for a job offer, on purpose — if you see a tool that still does, its numbers are out of date.

How the CRS is scored

The Comprehensive Ranking System scores every Express Entry candidate out of 1,200, from four parts: core/human capital factors (age, education, language, Canadian work experience — max 500 without a spouse, 460 with one), spouse or common-law partner factors (max 40, only if your spouse is coming with you), skill transferability (how your education and experience combine with your language ability — max 100), and additional points (max 600, dominated by a provincial nomination, which alone is worth 600).

Job offer points were removed entirely as of 25 March 2025. Before that date, a qualifying job offer was worth 50 or 200 points; it is now worth zero in the CRS (though Canadian work experience gained through a job still counts under the core factors, as it always did).

Frequently asked questions

What is a good CRS score?

It depends entirely on the cut-off in the draw you are targeting, which moves with each Express Entry round and can differ sharply between general draws and category-based or provincial-nomination draws. There is no fixed "good" number — compare your score against IRCC's recent round results.

Does a job offer still help my CRS score?

Not directly — job offer points were removed from the CRS as of 25 March 2025. A job in Canada can still help indirectly, by letting you accumulate Canadian work experience, which is scored under core factors and skill transferability.

Why does having a spouse lower some of my points?

With an accompanying spouse, your own core-factor maximums shrink (for example age drops from a 110-point max to 100) because up to 40 points move to a separate spouse-factors category instead. A strong spouse profile can more than make up the difference; a weak one usually will not.

Estimate only — not an official score

This tool estimates your CRS score from the IRCC point tables above. It does not verify your eligibility for Express Entry itself, does not check document validity, and rounds some skill-transferability edge cases (see the source code comments) to the officially stated maximums rather than IRCC's full internal formula. Your binding score is calculated by IRCC when you create or update an Express Entry profile.
