Candidates who want to immigrate to Canada via Express Entry (specifically the Federal Skilled Worker Program) need to score 67 points at least out of 100 to be eligible for this program. This system is assessed by IRCC (Immigration, Refugee, and Citizenship Canada) and these points will be calculated by the 67 points immigration Canada Calculator. Candidates need to create an express entry profile in which all the required details will be mentioned and, based on that information, candidates will get points.

1. Age (12 maximum points)
Candidates who fall under 18-35 age criteria, will get the maximum points. After 35 age points will start decreasing.
2. Language Proficiency (28 maximum points)

Once a candidate scores 67 points to be eligible for Express Entry, then their profile will be submitted to the express entry pool.
