The 67 Points Calculator helps you determine if you qualify for Canada’s Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) through the Express Entry system. To qualify, you need a score of at least 67 points out of 100. This is based on six selection factors: age, education, work experience, language skills, arranged employment, and adaptability.

How the 67 Points Calculator Works
Add your scores from all six categories. If your total is 67 points or higher, you qualify to apply under the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP). Once eligible, you can create an Express Entry profile and get a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score. This score determines your chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence.
