Estimated CRS Score: 0

This is a simplified estimation model intended for illustrative purposes. It does not account for sibling ties, French language bonuses, or provincial nominations (which add 600 points). For a legally binding assessment, use the official IRCC tool.

Understanding the Score

The maximum possible CRS score is 1,200 (600 base points + 600 additional points, usually from a PNP). A highly competitive profile (young, Master's degree, maxed-out English scores, 3+ years foreign work experience) typically scores between 470-481.

If your estimated score is below current draw cutoffs (often 500+ for general draws), consider:

Retaking your language test to hit CLB 9 (the "magic number" that unlocks massive skill transferability bonuses).
Learning French (French-language draws have significantly lower cutoffs).
