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
                        
                        
You need to make sure that your CRS score is above the minimum points score of your round of invitations.

 ii. In the last 10 years, how many total years of foreign skilled work experience do you have? 
                                        
It must have been paid, full-time (or an equal amount in part-time), and in only one occupation (NOC skill Teer 0, 1 or 2).

                                            3 years or more
                                        
                                    
                                
                                
 7) Do you have a certificate of qualification from a Canadian province, territory or federal body?
                                    
Note: A certificate of qualification lets people work in some skilled trades in Canada. Only the provinces, territories and a federal body can issue these certificates. To get one, a person must have them assess their training, trade experience and skills to and then pass a certification exam.
                                    
 People usually have to go to the province or territory to be assessed. They may also need experience and training from an employer in Canada. 
                                    
This isn't the same as a nomination from a province or territory.
