Individuals interested in Canadian immigration can use an online tool known as the Canada Points Calculator to help determine their eligibility for a Canada PR. The Canada Points Calculator is also known as the Comprehensive Ranking System.

There are specific programs which come under Express Entry, like
- Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP),
- Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), and
- Canadian Experience Class (CEC).

Ways to Improve CRS score
Individuals willing to migrate to Canada can improve their CRS score that will help them secure an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for a PR visa.
Some of the ways of improving the CRS score are given below:
- Boost language score—Score well in language proficiency tests like IELTS. For individuals scoring a Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) of 9 in the language test, up to 136 direct points will be awarded to their CRS. A French test can add another 74 points.
- Provincial Nominee Program- An invitation from the Provincial Nominee Program can add an additional 600 points.
- Get a work offer [LMIA approved] - After receiving a job offer from a recognized Canadian employer, 200 points will be added.
- Receive education in Canada- individuals who have an education degree in Canada will be awarded 30 points.
- Inclusion of Dependents—Both the individual and their spouse can earn additional points when applying for a visa. The spouse's language proficiency is worth 20 points, whereas education and work experience will add 10 points each. This will add 30 points to the CRS score in total.
- Previous Work Experience in Canada—the individual has three years of work experience; the CRS score can be increased by 180 points.
