Enter your current score, or open the CRS calculator to estimate it. We'll rank the upgrades that move it the most.
Ranked by the points each move adds for you.
Reach CLB 7 in all four French abilities to unlock the French bonus (up to 50 points) plus second-language points.
Hitting CLB 9 across all four abilities lifts your core language points and can unlock higher skill-transferability points.
Your first year of skilled Canadian work experience is one of the largest single CRS jumps available.
An eligible Canadian post-secondary credential adds additional points on top of your core score.
Completing a higher credential — or getting an ECA that recognizes the level you already hold — adds education points.
If your occupation is a skilled trade, a provincial certificate of qualification can add skill-transferability points.
If you or your spouse have a sibling who is a Canadian citizen or PR, that's 15 points many applicants forget to claim.
A nomination adds 600 points and can be decisive — but it's a slower, selective, strategic path, not a quick fix.
Check the latest draws to see which category fits you, validate your NOC, or recalculate your CRS as your profile changes.
