Use the CRS calculator Canada in three passes
Enter the facts you know, review which input has the biggest effect, and compare the estimate with the current official criteria. The result is a planning estimate.
- use supportable inputs
- check test and document dates
- save the questions it creates
What the tool cannot decide
The result is not an ITA, nomination, work permit, study permit, visitor visa or PR approval. Refusal, inadmissibility, status and complex family facts need a file-specific review.
- read the official source
- do not rely on historical cutoffs
- ask a licensed RCIC when facts are complex
Read the linked source alongside the result
For the current rule, review the IRCC: rounds of invitations and compare it with the official IRCC immigration hub. The source explains the legal test; the tool only helps you decide what to read next.
- check current scoring
- review exceptions
- ask for a profile-specific assessment
A practical next step
If you are ready to move from general research to a file-specific plan, book a consultation with a licensed RCIC. Bring your current status, dates, documents and the question you need answered. We will tell you what fits, what needs work and what should be verified before submission.
