Six selection factors – Federal Skilled Worker Program-67 points calculator

The Canadian Federal Skilled Worker Program is designed for skilled workers who wish to immigrate to Canada. Applicants are evaluated on a point system called the 67 point calculation. In this guide, we will explain how to calculate your Canadian Federal Skilled Worker Points and provide an example to help you understand the process.

The 67 point calculation is broken down into six factors, each with a maximum number of points that can be earned. Here is a breakdown of the six factors:

1. Language Skills - Maximum 28 points Applicants are evaluated on their ability to speak, read, write, and listen in English or French. Points are awarded based on language proficiency in each category.

For example, if an applicant scores CLB 7 or higher in all four categories, they would earn a maximum of 16 points (4 points in each category).

1. Education - Maximum 25 points Points are awarded based on the level of education achieved by the applicant.

For example, if an applicant has a Master's degree, they would earn 23 points in this category.

1. Work Experience - Maximum 15 points Points are awarded based on the number of years of work experience the applicant has in a skilled occupation.

For example, if an applicant has six or more years of work experience in a skilled occupation, they would earn 15 points in this category.

1. Age - Maximum 12 points Points are awarded based on the applicant's age at the time of application.

For example, if an applicant is 30 years old, they would earn 12 points in this category.

1. Arranged Employment - Maximum 10 points Points are awarded if the applicant has a valid job offer from a Canadian employer.

For example, if an applicant has a valid job offer in NOC 0, they would earn 10 points in this category.

1. Adaptability - Maximum 10 points Points are awarded based on the applicant's ability to adapt to living in Canada.
