Canada Express Entry

The terms of creating a profile Express Entry and the ways of calculating points 67

There are several factors to know whether you are eligible to immigrate to Canada through the Express Entry Program or not. In this matter, we will count the points for each candidate to find out how to calculate the 67 points for creating a profile in the Express Entry Program.

The total score required to open the profile is 67 out of 100 points.

Please note that obtaining 67 points does not guarantee your acceptance of immigration, but only to create a profile in the Express Entry program.

Calculating Express entry points depends on the following factors:

1. Language factor:

The maximum points are 28 points, 24 points for the first language, 4 points for the second language.

(The Language is the most important factor in calculating the points) . If you do not speak English or French fluently, it will be difficult to find a job in Canada French for some provinces only.

You can choose between one or both languages.

It requires you to take the IELTS General Test, Select English, or (the French-TEF Exam).

IELTS General or Celpip for English

TEF Canada or TCF Canada for French

Points distribution:

CLB 9 and above: Six points

CLB 8: Five points

CLB 7: Four points

Less than CLB 7: Ineligible to migrate

2. Education factor:

Max 25 points
The answer is to evaluate the certificate and not the certificate that you have! For example, in universities offering a two-year Bachelor's degree which is equivalent to a two year program in Canada.

Generally, if you study high school (12 years) and a bachelor’s degree (4 years after high school) and a master’s degree (one or two years after the bachelor’s degree), you can evaluate yourself without a loss.

Points distribution (choose only one):

5 points - high school diploma.

15 points - one year diploma or equivalent.

19 points - two years diploma or equivalent.

21 points - diploma 3 years or more, Bachelor's degree or equivalent.

22 points - two diplomas or more (one of the three-year terms).

23 points - BA, BA or BA + diploma.

24 points - Master's degree.

25 points - Ph.D.

3. Experience worker:

(Maximum 15 points)
The experience factor is the most important requirement for admission to the immigration program to Canada. Without at least one year of experience, you are not eligible to apply to immigrate to Canada.

Here I would like to introduce you to the term National Occupational Classification (NOC).

A NOC code is a system for classifying jobs into different categories. In other words, a NOC code is the code for your job title. To find out your code, see the link below:

How to search for the NOC code. Click here

- Note that the code is not in the job title (manager, programmer, etc.) but rather to choose the code, the tasks of your work mentioned in the experience certificate must match the tasks of making the code.

Points distribution:

9 points - 1 year experience.

11 points - 2 to 3 years of experience.

13 points - 4 to 5 years of experience.

15 points - for experience of 6 years or more.

4. Age factor:

(Max points 12 points)
Unfortunately, the age factor plays a big role in admission requirements in this program. The older you are, the less your chances are, and therefore you have to compensate your score with higher degrees and higher levels in language tests.

Points distribution:

0 - under 18

12 points - from 18 to 35 years old

11 points - 36 years old

10 points - 37 years

9 points - 38 years

8 points - 39 years old

7 points - 40 years

6 points - 41 years

5 points - 42 years

4 points - 43 years

3 points - 44 years

2 points - 45 years

Point - 46 years

0 - 47 years old and above

5. Job offer in Canada:

(Max points 10 points)
The most difficult and the best factor for admission in the immigration program to Canada, and even guarantees you immigration at a very high rate.

Here you should learn about a new term for (LMIA).

Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA)

If you have a job offer from a Canadian company in Canada, you must also get LMIA, LMIA is a document stating that the company was unable to obtain an employee from within Canada Canadian nationality or permanent residence holder so the company had to employ a foreigner who lives outside Canada.

1. You are currently working in Canada with a work permit and has been hired in LMIA.

2. Currently working in Canada with a job exempt from LMIA.

3. Currently, you do not work in Canada, but you obtained a job contract and fulfilled the conditions mentioned above.
