Comprehensive Ranking System
Profile Evaluator
Your score against IRCC's published points grid, the full breakdown behind it, and — the part that actually matters — which single improvement is worth the most points to you specifically.

Bars show the cut-off range each category has actually invited at this year, pulled from IRCC’s published rounds. Clearing a band is necessary, not sufficient — you must also qualify for the category itself. Provincial nominee rounds are excluded because their scores include the 600-point nomination.

| Total | 298 | 1200 |
Arranged employment is worth zero. Arranged employment no longer earns CRS points. The old 50 and 200 point awards were removed to curb LMIA fraud. IRCC has called this temporary but has not announced an end date. Treat any consultant still promising job-offer points as out of date.
What Actually Moves The Number
A score is only useful if it tells you what to do next.
Each row below is your score recomputed with one thing changed. The points are what that single change is worth to you specifically — not in general, and not to someone else.

In Plain Language
A written read of the figures above. It works from the calculated numbers only — it cannot look anything up, and it is not a substitute for advice from licensed counsel.
What this tool is, and what it is not
It computes published, public criteria. It tells you what the rules say and how your answers score against them. It does not tell you what to file, how to file it, or how to present your case — and no output from it should be read as doing so.
Under section 91 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, advising or representing someone for a fee on a Canadian immigration application is restricted to authorised representatives. We are not one. Where you need that, we refer you to our partner immigration lawyer, who is licensed to give it, and we take no fee for the referral. Full scope statement.
