Enter your current scores

How it works: Select your test type (CELPIP, IELTS GT, or PTE Core), enter your score for each skill, and instantly see your current CRS language points vs. what you'd get at CLB 9. The gap is your opportunity.

The calculator will appear here as an interactive tool. For now, here's the reference:

CLB Level	Points (single)	Points (with spouse)
CLB 4-5	6 per skill	6 per skill
CLB 6	9 per skill	8 per skill
CLB 7	17 per skill	16 per skill
CLB 8	23 per skill	22 per skill
CLB 9	31 per skill	29 per skill
CLB 10+	34 per skill	32 per skill

Key insight: CLB 7→9 across all four skills = +56 points (single) or +52 points (with spouse). CLB 8→9 = +32 points. This is often the single largest controllable improvement in your CRS profile.
