CEDC official grid, July 2026 · 125 max · 50 to enter the pool, recent draw average 88.67
Five categories worth 10–25 each: the job, experience, language, education and intent to settle. Work through them and the total updates live at the bottom, against both markers.
①Job offer
Sector points + occupation points, capped at 25. The sector isn't what the company does — it's derived from the NOC's first digit, so picking the role fixes it.
②Work experience
Needs reference letters as proof, and the experience's TEER has to match the offer.
③Language (CLB / NCLC)
Pick the role above first — the language band follows the offer's TEER.
④Education
Foreign credentials need an ECA.
⑤Intent to settle + local ties
The statement of intent is mandatory and worth a flat 10. Ties add up to 15 more; the category caps at 25.
Previous time in the community (pick one)
Other local ties (tick every one that applies — they stack)
Category score: 10 (statement) + 0 = 10 pts
Answer ①–④ and the total appears here (⑤ is already counted as you tick).
Unofficial tool: implements CEDC's July 2026 scoring grid for self-assessment only. The score that counts is CEDC's own assessment — they also verify documents and may interview.
