This calculator scores your Express Entry profile the way IRCC scores it: age, education, language, work experience and spouse factors, then the extras. The grid runs to 1,200 points, and a provincial nomination on its own is worth 600 of them. What you get here is an estimate to plan with, because only IRCC issues the official score.

This calculator supports all three Express Entry programs: Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) for skilled workers with Canadian or foreign education and experience, Canadian Experience Class (CEC) for workers with Canadian work experience, and Federal Skilled Trades (FST) for skilled trades workers with Canadian or foreign experience.
Your CRS score is calculated from three parts: Part A - Human Capital Factors (max 500 pts) includes age, language proficiency, education, and Canadian credentials. Part B - Skill Transferability (max 100 pts) combines language, education, and work experience. Part C - Additional Points (max 600 pts) covers provincial nominations, French language ability, Canadian study and partner factors.
Cut-off scores vary with every invitation round and with the round type. IRCC has held no general round since April 2024, so recent rounds are program-specific or category-based. Your results page compares your score with the recent cut-off range of each round type and shows the date those figures were checked. Check the official IRCC rounds page for the latest.
Common ways to boost your score include: improving language test results (IELTS/CELPIP for English, TEF/TCF for French), obtaining a Provincial Nomination (+600 points), and gaining Canadian work experience or education. A job offer no longer adds CRS points, those points were removed in March 2025.
