FSW Points Calculator
Calculate your score under the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) selection factors. A score of 67 points or higher means you may meet the selection factor threshold, which is one part of eligibility for Express Entry under the FSW program. This calculator provides an estimate only. You must still meet other FSW eligibility requirements and Express Entry criteria before you can enter the pool.
