Simplified CRS Estimator

An estimate of your Comprehensive Ranking System score from your test results ability by ability, your age, education, work experience and other current CRS factors — with a transparent breakdown showing which changes could move it most.

What is a CRS score?

The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score is the number out of 1,200 that IRCC uses to rank Express Entry candidates. It adds points for core human capital (age, education, language, Canadian work), spouse factors, skill transferability and additional points such as a provincial nomination or strong French. IRCC invites the highest-ranked candidates in each round, so the score needed changes from draw to draw.

Estimation tool. Your official CRS score is calculated by IRCC from your full profile. Convert IELTS, CELPIP, PTE Core, TEF Canada or TCF Canada results with our language score converter, then send your details for a free RCIC review.

About you
First official language

Results are converted automatically to CLB levels using the official IRCC equivalency charts.

Second official language
Work & Canadian connections

A job offer no longer adds CRS points. Job offers and LMIAs can still matter for work permits and provincial programs, so they are not part of this score.

How we calculate your CRS

  • Core human capital: age, education, official languages and Canadian work experience.
  • Language: your test results are converted ability by ability to CLB/NCLC using the official IRCC equivalency charts, then scored as a first and (where entered) second official language.
  • Skill transferability: education combined with language or Canadian work, foreign work combined with language or Canadian work, and a certificate of qualification combined with language — each group capped, with an overall cap of 100.
  • Spouse factors: only when a spouse or partner would accompany you.
  • Additional points: provincial nomination, French-language results, Canadian study and a sibling in Canada. A job offer is not part of the current CRS.
