Immigration Eligibility Check Canada 2026
Enter your profile once and screen possible Canadian immigration program matches and gaps — Express Entry, PNP, work permits, and family sponsorship.
Key Takeaways
- Screens possible matches across Express Entry, PNP, work permits, and family sponsorship in one place.
- Shows gaps to verify instead of telling you which program to choose.
- Uses deterministic rule checks from maintained Passavia calculators, not generative AI.
- Reference only: no IRCC decision is made from these answers, and application officers decide based on a complete application under Canadian immigration law.
- For paid advice, use an authorized representative in good standing with the CICC, a Canadian law society, or the Chambre des notaires du Québec.
Immigration Eligibility Check for Canada
Canada's immigration system has many federal, provincial, work-permit, and family pathways. This eligibility check screens your profile against maintained rule sets so you can see possible matches and gaps to verify before reading the official program instructions.
It is a reference tool, not immigration advice or representation. It does not choose a program for you, prepare an application, communicate with IRCC, or replace advice from an authorized immigration representative.
How It Works
Enter the profile details you know: age, language scores, education, work history, province interest, job offer, settlement funds, and family context. The check runs deterministic rule checks across Express Entry, Provincial Nominee Programs, work-permit bridges, and family sponsorship surfaces.
Results are grouped by program family and show possible matches, gaps to review, and the rule version used for the screen. A partial profile can change the result, so treat low-detail outputs as a prompt to verify missing fields against official sources.
What this eligibility check does
The check maps one profile into multiple calculator inputs. Express Entry checks include CRS, Federal Skilled Worker, Canadian Experience Class, and Federal Skilled Trades. PNP checks use maintained provincial stream data. Work-permit and family checks look for obvious eligibility gates and missing facts.
The output is a screening view: possible matches, not-applicable programs, and gaps that may change the result. It is designed to help you decide what official page or calculator to read next.
Why the wording is cautious
Canadian immigration rules distinguish general information from representation or advice on which program to apply for. This check uses cautious screening language because tool results can otherwise sound like individualized advice. It points to rule-based matches and gaps, then links to official sources for the application decision.
Express Entry, PNP, and family coverage
Express Entry results show whether your profile appears to clear FSW, CEC, or FST gates, plus CRS context where available. PNP results show maintained provincial stream matches and province-specific gaps. Family results screen common sponsorship relationships but do not replace the full application guide.
Key Facts
- Covers the same rule families used by the CRS, FSW, CEC, FST, PNP stream eligibility check, and sponsorship calculators.
- Results can change when program rules, draw thresholds, or your profile details change.
- The tool is not affiliated with IRCC, CBSA, the CICC, or any provincial immigration authority.
- Inputs are processed as a calculator request; the page does not submit or prepare an immigration application.
FAQ
Is this immigration advice?
No. This is a reference-only screening tool. It can show possible matches and gaps based on the information entered, but it does not advise you which program to apply for or represent you before IRCC, CBSA, or a tribunal.
Does IRCC use this result?
No. IRCC states that even its own Come to Canada tool is for reference only and that no immigration decision is made from tool answers. An officer decides based on the complete application and Canadian immigration law.
When should I talk to a representative?
Talk to an authorized representative if you need paid advice about which program to apply for, document strategy, inadmissibility, refusals, complex family facts, employer issues, or anything that requires someone to act on your behalf.
