What it does
Express Entry ranks candidates for Canadian permanent residence by a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score out of 1,200. This calculator adds up IRCC’s published grid and shows where every point comes from: core human capital, spouse or partner factors, skill transferability and additional points. The grid follows IRCC’s CRS criteria page (updated 3 November 2026, checked 10 November 2026). fibub is not affiliated with IRCC, and rules change, so check the official source before you rely on a score.
It runs in your browser and never asks for a passport, UCI or other ID number. After you are invited and land, count days towards citizenship with citizenship days, and get your photos right with passport photo.
How to use it
- Say whether you have a spouse or partner coming with you.
- Enter your age, education and CLB levels.
- Add work in Canada, any high-wage job offer and additional points.
What each setting does
- Spouse or partner: a spouse who comes with you and is not a Canadian citizen or PR moves you to the “with spouse” columns and adds up to 40 points for them.
- Languages: CLB per skill. Your lowest skill decides skill transferability. NCLC 7+ in all four French skills gives 25 extra points, or 50 if English is CLB 5+ in all four.
- Canadian work: points for years, plus 20, 40 or 70 more for 12 months in a high-wage occupation (1.3, 1.5 or 2 times the median wage).
- Job offer: 50, 70 or 100 points for an offer in a high-wage occupation. You get the job offer or Canadian work, whichever is higher.
- Additional: nomination 600, study in Canada 15 or 30, a sibling in Canada 15.
Worked example
Single, 29, master’s degree, CLB 9 in all four skills, no Canadian work and no second language: age 110, education 135, language 124, so core 369. Master’s with CLB 9 adds 50 for skill transferability: 419. With a spouse coming along (no points of their own) it drops to 392. A provincial nomination on the single case makes it 1,019.
FAQs
Do job offers still give points? Yes, again: IRCC’s changes page says they are reintroduced from 3 November 2026, for high-wage occupations only, under a new Labour Market Integration factor.
Is this my official score? No, only your IRCC profile gives that.
