What is CRS ?
Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) tool: skilled immigrants (Express Entry)
This tool will help you calculate your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score based on the answers you provide below. The CRS is a points-based system that we use to assess and score your profile and rank it in the Express Entry pool. It’s used to assess your:
- skills
- education
- language ability
- work experience
- other factors
Use this tool if:
- you’re eligible for at least 1 Express Entry program
and - you have not filled out an Express Entry profile but you’d like to see what your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score might be if you do
or - you were invited to apply for permanent residence, and want to see if a change to your profile may affect your CRS score
