Calculating points for Canada's Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) program involves assessing various factors such as age, education, work experience, language proficiency, and adaptability. The points are awarded based on the applicant's proficiency in these areas. Here is a simplified breakdown:
-
Age (Maximum 12 points):
- 18 to 35 years: 12 points
- 36 years: 11 points
- 37 years: 10 points
- And so on, decreasing by one point for each year of age.
-
Education (Maximum 25 points):
- Doctoral level: 25 points
- Master's level: 23 points
- Two or more post-secondary credentials (one must be three years or longer): 22 points
- Three-year or longer post-secondary credential: 21 points
- Two-year post-secondary credential: 19 points
- One-year post-secondary credential: 15 points
- Secondary school or less: 5 points
-
Work Experience (Maximum 15 points):
- 1 year: 9 points
- 2-3 years: 11 points
- 4-5 years: 13 points
- 6 years or more: 15 points
-
Language Proficiency (Maximum 28 points):
- First Official Language (English or French):
- CLB 9 or higher: 6 points
- CLB 8: 5 points
- CLB 7: 4 points
- And so on, down to CLB 4: 1 point
- Second Official Language (English or French):
- CLB 5 or higher: 4 points
-
Adaptability (Maximum 10 points):
- Spouse's or common-law partner's education: Up to 10 points
- Previous work in Canada: Up to 10 points
- Previous study in Canada: Up to 5 points
- Arranged employment: Up to 5 points
- Relative in Canada: Up to 5 points
Total Points:
Age Points + Education Points + Work Experience Points + Language Proficiency Points + Adaptability Points
For example, if you are 30 years old, have a Master's degree, 3 years of work experience, and achieve CLB 9 in the first official language, you might have a total of:
12 (Age) + 23 (Education) + 11 (Work Experience) + 6 (Language Proficiency) = 52 points
Please note that this is a simplified explanation, and the actual Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) used by the Canadian government may have additional nuances. Additionally, the CRS cutoff for Express Entry draws can vary, and meeting the minimum point requirement does not guarantee an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence. It's always advisable to consult the latest information on the official immigration website or seek advice from a qualified immigration professional.
