The CRS Calculator Tool will let you know, depending on your answers, how much Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points you could claim in the Express Entry pool.

As of November 16, 2022, the Express Entry system is using the 2021 National Occupational Classification (NOC) code structure. NOC 2016 skill type and skill level structure (NOC 0, A, B, C and D) are replaced with TEER Categories.

Note: In Canada, the National Occupational Classification (NOC) is the official list of all the jobs in the Canadian labour market. It describes each job according to the training, education, experience and responsibilities (TEER) needed to work in the job.

"Skilled work" in the NOC is TEER 0, 1, 2 or 3 category jobs:

If you aren’t sure of the NOC TEER category for this job, you can find your NOC.

11) What is the highest level of education for which your spouse or common-law partner has:

earned a Canadian degree, diploma or certificate; or
had an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA)? (ECAs must be from an approved agency, in the last five years)

To get the correct number of points, make sure you choose the answer that best reflects your case. For example:

If you have TWO Bachelor’s degrees, or one Bachelor’s AND a two year college diploma, choose – “Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years.”
