Step-by-Step Guide: How to Calculate Your Canada 67 Points for PR

Step 1: Check Points for Age

Canada awards points based on your age at the time of application. Applicants between 18–35 years receive the highest points, while points gradually decrease for older applicants.

Step 2: Calculate Points for Education

Your academic qualifications play a major role. A doctoral or master’s degree gets maximum points, while diplomas or secondary education receive fewer. An ECA (Educational Credential Assessment) is required if your education is from outside Canada.

Step 3: Add Points for Language Proficiency

Strong skills in English (IELTS/CELPIP) and/or French (TEF/TCF) can significantly boost your score. Higher CLB (Canadian Language Benchmark) levels give more points.

Step 4: Include Work Experience

Applicants with more years of skilled work experience (NOC TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3 jobs) earn higher points. At least one year of full-time paid work experience is required to qualify.

Step 5: Check Points for Arranged Employment

If you have a valid job offer in Canada, you can claim additional points. This increases your chances of meeting the 67-point threshold.

Step 6: Add Adaptability Points

You may earn extra points if:

• Your spouse/common-law partner has language skills.

• You or your spouse have studied or worked in Canada.

• You have relatives living in Canada.

Step 7: Calculate Your Total

Add up all the points from each category. If your score is 67 or more out of 100, you are eligible to apply under the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) through Express Entry.
