Why professional guidance matters
A calculator gives you a number. An RCIC protects your application.
Your CRS score is only as reliable as the answers behind it. Before you build your future on it, have a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC) confirm that every point you claim can be proven to IRCC.
One mistake can cost you years
A wrong NOC code, an expired language test or work experience you cannot prove can cost you an invitation or lead to a refusal. False or incomplete information, even by accident, can lead to a five-year ban.
An RCIC is licensed and accountable
Only licensed professionals may charge for Canadian immigration advice. Vikesh Ramroop, RCIC R534491, is regulated by the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants and has worked with Express Entry applicants since 2015.
Very affordable fees
We charge very affordable professional fees and give them to you in writing before you commit. Your first evaluation is free, so you know where you stand before you spend anything.

What is new
What changed in the CRS on November 3, 2026
A new Labour Market Integration factor
IRCC now scores Canadian work experience and job offers together, under one factor worth up to 150 points (140 if your spouse or partner comes with you). You receive whichever is higher: the points for your Canadian experience, or the points for a qualifying job offer. You cannot receive both.
Extra points for high-wage occupations
If at least 12 months of your Canadian experience was in an occupation on IRCC’s high-wage list, you earn 20, 40 or 70 points on top of the points for the length of your experience.
Job offer points are back, without an LMIA
A valid job offer in a high-wage occupation is worth 50, 70 or 100 points. Job offer points had been removed in March 2025. A Labour Market Impact Assessment is no longer required, and having one adds no points. An officer still assesses whether the offer is genuine.
| Median wage of the occupation | Canadian experience (12 months or more) | Job offer |
|---|---|---|
| At least 1.3 times the average median wage | +20 points | 50 points |
| At least 1.5 times the average median wage | +40 points | 70 points |
| At least 2 times the average median wage | +70 points | 100 points |
The level depends on the NOC code of your occupation, not on your own salary. Points for age, education, language, your spouse or partner, skill transferability, French, a brother or sister in Canada, Canadian studies and a provincial nomination did not change. IRCC paused invitation rounds for up to two weeks from November 3, 2026 while it recalculates the scores of profiles already in the pool.

Questions
CRS score: frequently asked questions
What is a CRS score?
The Comprehensive Ranking System is the points system IRCC uses to rank candidates in the Express Entry pool. Points come from your age, education, language ability and work experience, from your spouse or partner’s profile, and from additional factors such as French, Canadian studies or a provincial nomination. The highest-ranked candidates are invited to apply for permanent residence.
What CRS score do I need to be invited?
There is no fixed pass mark. IRCC sets a cut-off at each round of invitations, and it varies with the type of round: general, program-specific or category-based. A score that is too low for one type of round can be enough for another. During a free evaluation we compare your score with recent rounds and tell you plainly where you stand.
Is this the official IRCC calculator?
No. This is an independent tool from Vikesh Immigration Services. It follows the CRS criteria published by IRCC, including the changes of November 3, 2026, and gives an estimate based on the answers you select. Your official score is the one IRCC calculates when you submit an Express Entry profile.
Do I need a job offer for Express Entry?
No. Many candidates are invited without one. Since November 3, 2026, a valid job offer adds CRS points only when the occupation is on IRCC’s high-wage list. We do not provide or sell job offers.
I speak French. Does it help my score?
Yes. French at NCLC 7 or higher in all four abilities adds 25 points, or 50 points if you also have CLB 5 or higher in all four English abilities. French also earns second-language points, and IRCC has held invitation rounds for French-speaking candidates. If you speak French, it is worth testing it.
I have not taken a language test yet. Can I still use the calculator?
Yes. Choose “Not tested yet” and select the level you expect to reach. In a real profile, only results from an approved test that are less than two years old are accepted.
What happens after I get my score?
Send it to yourself by email, then book a free evaluation. We walk you through your full points breakdown, review your age, education, work history, language ability and family situation, and give you a plain answer on which routes are realistic for you.
