Express Entry · Canada

Comprehensive Ranking System calculator

Work out your CRS score for an Express Entry profile. Unlike a simple points checklist, the CRS re-scores every table depending on whether a partner comes with you, then pays extra for combinations of education, language and work experience — each with its own cap. Fill in your profile and the whole score is recalculated out of 1200. See the full draw history →
