How does the CRS Calculator work?
The CRS Score Calculator is a point-based system that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) uses to evaluate and score your profile to rank it in the federal Express Entry pool.
The point you get from the CRS Score Calculator includes a core set of up to 600 points and an additional set of up to 600 points. Your final score will be ranked out of 1,200.

Labour Market Integration factor (from 3 November 2026)
You receive points under EITHER Canadian work experience in a high-wage occupation OR a qualifying job offer in a high-wage occupation, whichever gives you more. The two are never added together. Maximum under this factor: 150 points without an accompanying spouse or common-law partner, 140 points with one.
Qualifying job offer in a high-wage occupation
| Median wage of the occupation compared with the Canadian median wage | CRS points |
|---|---|
| At least 2 times the median wage | 100 |
| At least 1.5 times, but less than 2 times, the median wage | 70 |
| At least 1.3 times, but less than 1.5 times, the median wage | 50 |
| Not a high-wage occupation | 0 |
A qualifying job offer must generally be for full-time, continuous work in Canada for at least one year after you become a permanent resident. From 3 November 2026 an LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment) is NOT required for the offer to earn these points. IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) still checks that the offer is genuine.
Canadian work experience in a high-wage occupation (bonus on top of duration points)
| Eligible Canadian work experience | CRS points |
|---|---|
| At least 12 months in occupations at 2 times the median wage | 70 |
| At least 12 months combined in occupations at 1.5 times the median wage or above | 40 |
| At least 12 months combined across eligible high-wage occupations (1.3 times or above) | 20 |
Duration points for Canadian work experience themselves are unchanged (up to 80 points for 5 years). Combined with the bonus, Canadian work experience can now total up to 150 points.
Important: the tier is set by the OCCUPATION's median wage in Canada, not by your own salary. A high salary in an occupation that is not high-wage earns no bonus. Scores in the pool are recalculated automatically, and invitation rounds are paused for up to two weeks from 3 Nov 2026 while that happens. Extra points do not guarantee an invitation — each draw has its own cut-off.
