This is an estimate based on the official grid, meant to show where you stand. Your official score comes from the profile in your IRCC account. You can also check with the official IRCC tool. Grid page dated 2026-06-22; score conversion page dated 2026-06-22.
Validity: your results must be less than two years old both on the day you complete your Express Entry profile and on the day you submit the permanent residence application — both dates, not just the first. Applying with expired results is refused.
Working out the score is the easy part. The harder question is which factor gives the best return, and whether a given provincial stream is one you actually qualify for.
