A free Express Entry CRS calculator that saves your scenarios in your browser, so you can test what-if changes — a language retest, a finished diploma, a provincial nomination — and compare them side by side without retyping everything from scratch.
The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) is the points-based score Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) uses to rank candidates in the Express Entry pool for permanent residence. Your score is built from core human capital factors (age, education, language ability, work experience), points for an accompanying spouse or partner, skill transferability, and additional points such as a provincial nomination or sibling in Canada. Candidates with higher CRS scores are more likely to receive an invitation to apply.
The official IRCC calculator is built for a single pass: fill it in, get a score, and start over if you want to test a change. This planner adds the "what if" layer — retake a language test, finish a diploma, get a provincial nomination — and see exactly how each change moves your score, without retyping everything you already entered.
Save a scenario and it's stored in your browser under a name you choose, with the score and every input intact. Come back later, on the same browser and device, and it's waiting for you to reopen, edit, or compare — no account, no re-entry.
Your data never leaves your browser. There's no account, no server-side storage, and no tracking of your scores, language results, or other inputs. Analytics, if enabled, only records anonymous usage counts like button clicks — never your answers.

The official calculator makes you re-enter every answer from scratch each time you want to test a change. This planner lets you save a scenario, tweak one input — a language retest, a finished diploma, a provincial nomination — and see exactly how each change moves your score, without retyping everything you already entered.
Scenarios are saved in your browser's local storage only. Nothing is sent to a server, and there's no account or login. Clearing your browser data will remove your saved scenarios.
