How to use this site
- Start with your language level per ability. Almost every rule that follows — PGWP, CEC, CRS, the French bonus — keys off your weakest of four abilities, not your overall band.
- Change one thing at a time. In the CRS calculator, a second language test or one more year of TEER 0–3 work usually moves more than anything else you can control.
- Use the trackers before the deadline, not after. An expired test, a late PGWP application or a lapsed profile ends an application that would otherwise have succeeded.
- Verify anyone you pay. Immigration advice for a fee must come from someone on the CICC register or a provincial law society. Check the licence number, not the website.
These tools apply published IRCC rules to what you type. They cannot see your file, your NOC duties, or your college's status. A licensed representative can. We are not one.
