Work Experience

In the last ten years, how many years of skilled work experience in Canada do you have?

It must have been paid and full-time (or an equal amount in part-time).

Note: In Canada, the National Occupational Classification (NOC) is the official list of all the jobs in the Canadian labour market. It describes each job according to skill type, group and level.

'Skilled work' in the NOC is:

managerial jobs (NOC Skill Level 0)
professional jobs (NOC Skill Type A)
technical jobs and skilled trades/manual work (NOC Skill Type B)

If you aren’t sure of the NOC level for this job, you can find your NOC.

In the last 10 years, how many total years of foreign skilled work experience do you have?

It must have been paid, full-time (or an equal amount in part-time), and in only one occupation (NOC skill type 0, A or B).

Do you have a certificate of qualification from a Canadian province, territory or federal body?

Note: A certificate of qualification lets people work in some skilled trades in Canada. Only the provinces, territories and a federal body can issue these certificates. To get one, a person must have them assess their training, trade experience and skills to and then pass a certification exam.

People usually have to go to the province or territory to be assessed. They may also need experience and training from an employer in Canada.

This isn’t the same as a nomination from a province or territory.

Additional Points

A valid job offer must be

for one year from the time you become a permanent resident

Your CRS Score

All Express Entry candidates get a score out of 1,200, based on the four parts of the Comprehensive Ranking System formula.

We invite the highest-ranking candidates from the pool to apply as a permanent resident through regular rounds of invitations.” See what minimum scores have been in the past.

What is the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS)?

The Comprehensive Ranking System(CRS) is like a points system for applicants who want to move to Canada via Express Entry program. You gather points primarily based on such things as your age, education, how nicely you speak English or French, your work experience, whether or not you studied in Canada, and if a Canadian province desires to nominate you.

The greater points you acquire, the better your probabilities of having an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for Canadian permanent residency. The max score you may get is 1,200.

The IRCC regularly holds draws where they invite applicants with the best scores to apply for Canada PR. So, having a high CRS score is extraordinary crucial if you need to move to Canada. Just keep in mind that the score requirements can change with every draw, so that you would possibly need to work on improving your profile to increase your chances of getting an ITA.

You can use this tool if:

You are eligible for at least one of the Express Entry Programs.
You have not registered for the Express Entry Program and would like to know your CRS result.
You have received an invitation to apply for a PR visa and want to check whether a change to the Express Entry Profile may affect your CRS score.
You want to check if your CRS score in the last invitation round is above the minimum required score.

The CRS Points Calculator allows Canadian PR visa applicants to determine their CRS score as part of the Express Entry program. The CRS calculator asks applicants a series of questions related to the selection factors for the Express Entry program.

These selection factors assessed the applicants on the basis of:

Age
Education
Language Ability
Work Experience
Adaptability

How are the CRS points calculated with the Calculator tool?

As mentioned above, there are factors by which Express Entry candidates receive CRS points. Factors Core Human Capital + Spouse/Life Partner + Transferability of Qualifications = 600 CRS points. Additional factors (provincial nomination, French language proficiency) = 600 CRS points. The maximum CRS score an applicant can receive is 1200 points.
