Unofficial estimate, not immigration advice
The scores PointTally produces are unofficial estimates. The tool mirrors the public CRS points criteria published by IRCC, but it is an independent reimplementation and may differ from IRCC's official result in any individual case. Nothing on this site is immigration advice, legal advice, or a representation of your eligibility. We compute a number; we do not advise on whether, how, or when you should apply for any program.
Not affiliated with the Government of Canada or IRCC
PointTally is operated by an independent registered Canadian business. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the Government of Canada, IRCC, or any provincial or territorial government. Any reference to IRCC, Express Entry, the CRS, the PNP, or named tests (IELTS, CELPIP, TEF, TCF) is for description only and does not imply any partnership or endorsement. The authoritative CRS calculator and the official grid live on the Government of Canada website at canada.ca.
No guarantee of any outcome
A high estimated score does not guarantee an Invitation to Apply (ITA), and a nomination, bonus or any other lever shown here does not guarantee permanent residence. Draw cut-offs are set by IRCC for each round and change; a past cut-off is not a forecast. Eligibility, program rules, the NOC, language minimums and draw practice are all subject to change by IRCC and by provinces without notice.
Data freshness
We version-stamp our data and review the IRCC rounds-of-invitations page on a regular cadence, updating the draw table when a genuine new draw is published. Even so, there may be a lag between an official change and an update here. Always confirm current figures, criteria and your own eligibility directly on the official IRCC website before relying on anything on this site. Our constants and worked examples are documented on the methodology page.
Affiliate-relationship disclosure
Some outbound links on this site may be affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you purchase through them at no extra cost to you. We limit any such relationships to two clean, unlicensed categories:
- Language test preparation — IELTS / CELPIP / TEF / TCF study and practice resources.
- Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) — credential-evaluation services such as those used to have a foreign degree recognised.
We do not provide, sell, or take commissions for immigration representation or advice, and we are not an immigration consultant or law firm. Affiliate links are optional, are clearly the reader's choice, and never affect your calculated score or any figure on this site.
Limitation of liability
PointTally is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss arising from reliance on the estimates, content or links on this site. For decisions about your immigration matter, consult IRCC and, if you need representation, a regulated representative (in Canada, a member in good standing of the relevant regulatory body).
