CRS calculator FAQ

Is this CRS calculator official?

No. This is an ImmiGlob educational estimator. Use it for planning, then verify your result with official IRCC tools and instructions.

Why does my score differ from IRCC?

This calculator uses simplified logic to help with planning. Official CRS scoring depends on exact rules, documents, test scores, program details, and profile data.

What is a competitive CRS score?

It depends on the draw type, category, number of invitations, and pool composition. Compare your score with relevant recent draws, not only general rounds.

Can I improve my score quickly?

Sometimes. Language score improvements, spouse language, profile corrections, or French planning may help faster than long-term education or work-experience strategies.
