Good to know
Today a job offer gives no CRS points (removed on 25 March 2025). From 3 November 2026, IRCC brings back points for Canadian work experience or a high-wage job offer, with no LMIA. This calculator uses the rules in force today.
The French bonus (25 or 50 points) is current law. IRCC consulted in April–May 2026 on changing it, but no change or date has been announced.
