How do I calculate points for Express Entry?
The Government of Canada has an online tool that will help calculate your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score. CRS is the points-based system Canadian immigration uses to assess and rank your profile in the Express Entry pool. Some factors the tool assesses are:
Skills
Education
Language
Work experience
This score (up to 1,200 points) can be used to check if you rank above the minimum required points from the most recent round of invitations.
