How to read this
- Only the language-related parts of the CRS are calculated here. Age, education, Canadian experience, provincial nominations and job offers add the rest of your score.
- Skill transferability is capped at 100 points in total. Combinations with Canadian work experience are not included here.
- English is entered as one level for all four abilities. If your English abilities differ, the real points can be slightly different.
- The French bonus needs NCLC 7 in all four French abilities: 25 points with CLB 4 or lower in English (or no English test), 50 points with CLB 5 or higher in all four English abilities.
