Federal Skilled Worker Program

Express Entry 67-Point Calculator

Check your Federal Skilled Worker eligibility score out of 100 based on IRCC’s six selection factors. You need at least 67 points and must also meet the program’s minimum requirements. This is not your CRS score.

1. Age and education

Age in years

Highest completed credential / ECA equivalency

Use your ECA equivalency, not the foreign diploma title. Eligible professional degrees are in medicine, veterinary medicine, dentistry, optometry, law, chiropractic medicine or pharmacy.

2. Language proficiency

Choose English or French as your first official language, using whichever gives more points. Enter the CLB or NCLC level for each ability.

Listening

Reading

Writing

Speaking

Second official language — maximum 4 points

This must be the other official language. All four abilities must reach CLB/NCLC 5 to earn 4 points.

3. Skilled work and arranged employment

Total qualifying paid skilled work in the last 10 years

Count eligible TEER 0–3 work in Canada or abroad, including qualifying study or self-employed work. Part-time equivalent is allowed; count no more than 30 hours per week. The separate one-continuous-year minimum still applies.

I meet IRCC’s arranged-employment criteria (10 points, plus 5 adaptability points).

Not every offer qualifies: generally it must be paid, continuous, full-time, non-seasonal, TEER 0–3, for at least one year after PR, with the required LMIA or qualifying work-permit exemption and employer conditions. Read the official criteria before selecting. Job offers no longer add CRS points, but still count on this FSW grid.

4. Adaptability — maximum 10 points

Accompanying spouse/partner: CLB/NCLC 4+ in all four abilities on an approved test less than 2 years old (5)You completed at least 2 academic years of full-time study in Canada, in a program of at least 2 years, with good academic standing (5)Accompanying spouse/partner completed that same Canadian study requirement (5)You worked full-time in Canada for at least 1 year in TEER 0–3 with a valid work permit or authorization (10)Accompanying spouse/partner worked full-time in Canada for at least 1 year with a valid work permit or authorization (5)You or your accompanying spouse/partner have an eligible relative, aged 18+, living in Canada as a citizen or permanent resident (5)

A full-time study year requires at least 15 hours of classes per week. Eligible relatives include parents, grandparents, children, grandchildren, siblings, aunts/uncles and nieces/nephews. Each category counts only once; total adaptability is capped at 10.

5. Minimum requirements beyond the points

At least one continuous year of paid work (1,560 hours) in the same primary NOC, TEER 0, 1, 2 or 3, within the last 10 years, matching its lead statement, most main duties and all essential duties?

Approved language test results less than two years old, valid when you submit your profile and PR application?

Completed Canadian credential, or foreign credential with a valid immigration ECA (less than five years old) confirming Canadian equivalency?

Required settlement funds available, or exempt because you are authorized to work in Canada AND have a valid job offer?

Do you intend to live outside Québec?

No known inadmissibility concerns (such as criminal, security or medical issues)?

Self-screening only. IRCC assesses your documents, work duties, funds and admissibility. A score of 67 does not override any minimum requirement.

FSW points and CRS are two different checks

The FSW grid checks six selection factors out of 100. The CRS ranks eligible Express Entry candidates out of 1,200. Passing this grid does not mean your CRS is high enough for an invitation, and a CRS result does not confirm FSW eligibility.
