Reading your score

Cut-offs vary by round. French-language selection requires NCLC 7 in all four abilities plus Express Entry and round requirements. Occupation categories have their own experience and location rules; they do not all use the same route. Check the current category criteria.
Biggest movers for students: CLB 9 on all four (unlocks the 50-point transferability tiers), a second language, and each extra year of TEER 0–3 Canadian work.
Numbers here are estimates. Your ITA depends on the pool on draw day, and only IRCC's calculation counts.
