How many points do I need to qualify for the Federal Skilled Worker Program?

The Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) uses a six-factor points grid to decide eligibility. You need at least 67 out of 100 points to qualify to enter the Express Entry pool under this program.

This 67-point grid is separate from the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) used to rank candidates and issue invitations. Passing the 67-point test makes you eligible; your CRS score then determines how competitive you are for an invitation to apply.
