you probably have heard about the point system. yes, it’s canada’s point system that will determine whether you are qualified to migrate or not. it is canada’s way of assessing your capability to “make it” here.
the point system measures 6 areas and i promise to discuss each area at length in my next posts. for now, i will just give a rundown of what these areas are. out of a 100 points, the current passing score is 67.
1. education. education gets a maximum of 25 points. simply put, the higher your education, the higher your points. you get points based on the number of years you have spent studying.
2. fluency in English and/or French. fluency in canada’s official language will help you score a maximum of 24 points. your ability to listen, speak, read and write in these languages will be evaluated. you will also be required to provide proof of your fluency either by taking the IELTS or by submitting any written proof of your capability.
3. work experience. points are awarded based on the number of years you have spent working either full time or part time. if you have at least 4 years of work experience, you get a maximum of 21 points.
4. age. if you are between 21-49 years old, you get a maximum of 10 points. this will be based on your age when you submit your application.
5. arranged employer. simply put, you get 10 points if you have a ready employer to work for when you land in canada.
6. adaptability. basically, they would like to know how well you can adjust to life in canada. if you can show that you have what it takes, then they give you a maximum of 10 points.
think you can score at least 67 points? click here and find out. good luck!

Such points system is not usually easy to achieve but doing some technology certifications involving 640-721 and others in the same category, plus doing some language courses for French and Spanish can help achieve good points.
I am curious about this point system. Thanks for providing the information here.
i feel the point system is good. It can analyze the capabilities of the students in the right pace and after all 67 is the pass score out of 100 which feel is really good.
Nice sharing.
I didn't know about that point system till now, but to me it makes sense to have such a system in place. And with some basics it seems not to be too difficult to get a score of 67.
