The 67 points calculator is used by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada for assessing the eligibility of immigration applications under the Federal Skilled Worker program. The FSWP was the first immigration program to objectively evaluate the candidates. It is today among the 3 programs for skilled workers managed under Express Entry System.
A score of 67 points makes an applicant eligible to file an application for Canada PR Visa. The eligibility calculator has a maximum of 100 points allocated for candidates. You must note here that you will be unable to file an application for Canada PR Visa if you cannot score the minimum 67 points.
FSWP Selection Factors
The Federal Skilled Workers Program has the following selection factors for the 67 points calculator:
AGE
Candidates in the age group 35 to 18 years can score higher points. Their points score declines with the increase in age. You can obtain a maximum of 12 points for the age factor.
WORK EXPERIENCE
Candidates can secure good points if they have worked for 12 months consecutively 30 hours weekly and full time. If you have 6 or plus years of work experience, you can qualify for the maximum 15 points for this factor.
LANGUAGE
The tests for language include French and English. Applicants who can prove proficiency in language tests have more chances of performing well in the calculation of points. Those who have familiarity with both languages have more chances of scoring higher.
- Tests for the English language: IELTS and CELPIP
- Tests for the French language: TEF and TCF
You can obtain a maximum of 28 points for the language factor.
EDUCATION
The educational qualifications of candidates are assessed by evaluation of each degree/diploma that they have obtained. The assessment process is aided by regulatory agencies, usually by the WES – World Education Services.
You can obtain a maximum of 25 points for the education factor.
ARRANGED EMPLOYMENT
Candidates who wish to obtain points under this factor must have a valid offer of a job from an employer in Canada. The job offer must be valid for at least 1 year and for a full-time position.
You can obtain a maximum of 10 points for the job offer factor.
ADAPTABILITY
If you have a relative residing in Canada, this can offer you extra points. You can secure a maximum of 10 points if you fulfill this criterion. It must be noted here that this is not a mandatory factor for selection.

Canada Express Entry Draws
The Government of Canada conducts a draw under Express Entry roughly once in 2 weeks. The latest trend is that Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada is conducting Express Entry draws once every 15 days i.e. fortnightly. The frequency of 15 days can change for Canada Express Entry next draw prediction. But at least 2 draws are held every month.
The most crucial factor for the Express Entry application is offering accurate and complete details/documents and obtaining ITA. You cannot file an application for Canada PR Visa through Express Entry if you do not get an ITA.
For receiving an ITA, you have to secure the specified cut-off CRS score for an Express Entry draw. You will be competing with several eligible candidates in the Express Entry pool for this.
Nationwide Visas will endeavor that your profile gets highlighted in the Express Entry pool. Our ICCRC accredited Immigration Experts will thoroughly asses your profile, highlight its best features, and ensure that you secure the maximum eligible score.
