Every band here was set before Nov 3, 2026, when IRCC moved to the Labour Market Integration factor and rescored the whole pool. Your score is on the new grid; these cut-offs are not. Nobody lost points in the change, so with the same pool and round size a cut-off can only hold or rise. Treat a band you clear narrowly as unconfirmed.
Bars show the cut-off range each category has actually invited at this year, pulled from IRCC’s published rounds. Clearing a band is necessary, not sufficient — you must also qualify for the category itself. Provincial nominee rounds are excluded because their scores include the 600-point nomination.

A job offer is not a bonus on top. A job offer earns points again, but only if its occupation is on IRCC's high-wage list: 100 at twice the average median wage, 70 at 1.5 times, 50 at 1.3 times, and nothing below that. It does not add to Canadian work experience — the two compete inside one factor and you get whichever is worth more, so an offer can be worth nothing to someone with several years in Canada already. An LMIA is no longer required. Anyone quoting a flat 50 or 200 points is describing the system that ended in March 2025.
What Actually Moves The Number
A score is only useful if it tells you what to do next.
Each row below is your score recomputed with one thing changed. The points are what that single change is worth to you specifically — not in general, and not to someone else.

In Plain Language
A written read of the figures above. It works from the calculated numbers only — it cannot look anything up, and it is not a substitute for advice from licensed counsel.
What this tool is, and what it is not
It computes published, public criteria. It tells you what the rules say and how your answers score against them. It does not tell you what to file, how to file it, or how to present your case — and no output from it should be read as doing so.
Under section 91 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, advising or representing someone for a fee on a Canadian immigration application is restricted to authorised representatives. We are not one. Where you need that, we refer you to our partner immigration lawyer, who is licensed to give it, and we take no fee for the referral. Full scope statement.
