Canadian Immigration Points Calculator


Call the London Office on +44 (0)845 658 0410 for a consultation or an appointment.

workpermit.com has created a special Canadian immigration point calculator, which will help you determine if you would qualify under the Canada immigration point system. You will need a total of 67 points to qualify under Canada’s immigration points system. If you are a skilled worker, this may be a very good option for you for immigrating to Canada.

Fill out this form and your points will be automatically calculated to determine if you would qualify for immigration to Canada under the Skilled Worker category. If you find you don't qualify for immigration under Canada's points system, please feel free to try our immigration point calculators for skilled immigration to UK and Australia:
