Calculate your eligibility for Canada's Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) 67-point grid and your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score for Express Entry. Updated with the latest 2025 changes including job offer points removal.
The FSWP 67-point grid is an eligibility threshold—you need at least 67/100 points to qualify to enter the Express Entry pool under the Federal Skilled Worker Program. The CRS (Comprehensive Ranking System) is a 1200-point ranking system that determines your position in the pool. Higher CRS scores increase your chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) during draws.
IRCC removed job offer CRS points (previously 50-200 points) effective March 25, 2025 as a "temporary measure" to combat LMIA-related fraud. This affected over 37,000 candidates in the pool who had those bonus points. However, job offers still count for FSWP eligibility (10 points) and may still be required for certain provincial nominee programs.
CRS cutoffs vary by draw type. As of late 2025: Canadian Experience Class (CEC) draws typically have cutoffs around 530-534 points. French language proficiency draws have had cutoffs as low as 379-408 points. Category-based draws (healthcare, trades, STEM) range from 430-510 points. The Express Entry pool currently has over 246,000 candidates.
Key ways to boost your CRS: 1) Improve language scores (retake IELTS/CELPIP for higher CLB). 2) Learn French (NCLC 7+ adds 25-50 points). 3) Gain Canadian work experience. 4) Obtain a Provincial Nomination (+600 points, virtually guarantees ITA). 5) Complete Canadian education. 6) If married, include spouse with strong credentials.
An Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) evaluates your foreign education against Canadian standards. It's required to claim education points if you studied outside Canada. ECAs must come from IRCC-designated organizations like WES, IQAS, or others. ECAs are valid for 5 years for immigration purposes. Processing typically takes 4-8 weeks.
