How this Ontario calculator works

Select the pathway that matches your circumstances. The calculator then applies the relevant maximum and removes the hourly-wage factor for self-employed physicians.

Your result combines the points selected for Ontario work region, NOC TEER, hourly wage where applicable, broad occupational category, Ontario experience, Canadian income history, education, Canadian credentials, language ability, bilingualism and temporary resident status.

This score is an estimate only. Eligibility requirements, documentation, legal status, occupation requirements and Ontario’s invitation priorities remain separate from the points total.

Frequently asked questions

What is the maximum Ontario Workforce Priority score?

The TEER 0 to 3 and TEER 4 to 5 pathways are calculated out of 130 points. The self-employed physician pathway is calculated out of 115 because hourly-wage points do not apply.

Does a high score guarantee an invitation?

No. Ontario may conduct general or targeted invitation rounds and may consider program priorities in addition to the score.

Is this an official Ontario government calculator?

No. This is an independent estimator based on the scoring details supplied for this page. Confirm all current requirements with Ontario before applying.
