Question 1 of 6
What this check looks at
The three programs managed through Express Entry
Federal Skilled Worker Program
For skilled workers with experience in Canada or abroad. IRCC asks for at least one year of skilled work, English or French at CLB 7, secondary education or more, and 67 points out of 100 on six selection factors: language, education, work experience, age, a job offer in Canada and adaptability.
Canadian Experience Class
For people with at least one year of skilled work experience in Canada in the last three years. The language level IRCC asks for depends on the occupation: CLB 7 for TEER 0 or 1 jobs, CLB 5 for TEER 2 or 3 jobs.
Federal Skilled Trades Program
For qualified tradespeople with two years of experience in the last five. IRCC asks for CLB 5 in speaking and listening, CLB 4 in reading and writing, and either a job offer of at least one year or a Canadian certificate of qualification.
The check applies these minimum requirements to the answers you give. It cannot see your documents, how your occupation is classified, your settlement funds or your admissibility. That is what the full free assessment is for.

If you are eligible
Eligible is the first step. Invited is the second.
Meeting the minimum requirements lets you enter the Express Entry pool. IRCC then ranks every candidate with the Comprehensive Ranking System and invites the highest-ranked to apply for permanent residence. Once you know you are eligible, check your score.

Express Entry is one road. There are others.
A profile that does not fit Express Entry today may fit another route: a provincial nominee program, sponsorship by a spouse or partner, or Canadian studies or work experience that open doors later. A full free assessment looks at all of them.

Questions
PR eligibility: frequently asked questions
What does “eligible” mean in this check?
It means the answers you gave meet the minimum requirements of at least one program managed through Express Entry. It does not mean you have been approved or invited. Only IRCC decides who is eligible, on the basis of a complete profile and supporting documents.
Is this the official IRCC tool?
No. This is an independent tool from Vikesh Immigration Services. It follows the requirements published by IRCC and gives an estimate based on the answers you select.
What is the 67-point grid?
The Federal Skilled Worker Program scores every applicant out of 100 on six selection factors: language, education, work experience, age, a job offer in Canada and adaptability. You need at least 67 points, on top of the minimum work experience, language and education requirements. These points are separate from the CRS score used to rank candidates in the pool.
Do I need a job offer to be eligible?
Not for the Federal Skilled Worker Program or the Canadian Experience Class. A job offer can add selection points, and since November 3, 2026 it no longer needs a Labour Market Impact Assessment to count. The Federal Skilled Trades Program asks for either a job offer or a Canadian certificate of qualification. We do not provide or sell job offers.
I have not taken a language test yet. Can I still use the check?
Yes. Choose the level you expect to reach. Because IRCC only accepts results from an approved test that are less than two years old, your result will say that you may be eligible, with your test results still to be confirmed.
My result says I am not eligible yet. Is that final?
No. The check only looks at the Express Entry programs and at your situation today. Requirements can often be met with preparation, and other routes exist. Send us your resume and a licensed consultant will look at every route that could fit you.
What happens after I send my resume?
A licensed consultant reviews your work history, education and language level, checks the programs that could fit you, and replies by email with a plain answer on where you stand. The assessment is free. If you decide to go ahead with us, you receive our professional fees in writing before you commit.
