PR Points Calculator

The PR (Permanent Residency) Points Calculator helps aspiring immigrants estimate their eligibility for Permanent Residence (PR) under Canada’s Express Entry system or other points-based immigration programs. By analyzing key personal and professional factors, this calculator provides a score that indicates your likelihood of qualifying for PR.

Key Features of the PR Points Calculator

• Comprehensive Scoring: Points are assigned based on age, education, work experience, language proficiency, adaptability, and other core factors.
• Transparent Evaluation: The calculator instantly provides an estimate of your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score or equivalent points total.
• Eligibility Insight: Helps you determine if you meet the minimum cutoff score for Express Entry or provincial nominee draws.
• Improvement Areas: Identifies which categories—such as IELTS score, education, or work experience—you can enhance to increase your PR eligibility.
• Pre-Application Planning: Provides a realistic understanding of your chances before submitting an official PR application.

Core Categories in PR Point Calculation

The PR Points Calculator evaluates several major factors, each carrying specific point values under the Canadian immigration system:

• Age: Younger applicants (typically between 20–29) score the highest points.
• Education: Higher qualifications, such as master’s or PhD degrees, earn more points.
• Work Experience: Skilled work experience (in Canada or abroad) contributes significantly to total points.
• Language Proficiency: Proficiency in English and/or French (through IELTS, CELPIP, or TEF scores) adds valuable points.
• Adaptability: Additional points for having a spouse with language skills, prior study/work experience in Canada, or a valid job offer.
