CRS Points Calculator 2023

The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) is a points-based system that is used to assess and score a candidate's profile to rank them in the Express Entry pool. Candidates who have the highest scores are then invited to apply for Canadian permanent residence.

Let us guide you on how CRS points are typically calculated, as of the last information available to me.

Here are the factors:
