Terms of Use
Effective Date: 4/15/2026
Last Updated: 4/15/2026
Website: crsscoring.com
Please read these Terms of Use carefully before using crsscoring.com. By accessing or using this website, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use this website.
1. The Single Most Important Thing You Must Understand
THIS WEBSITE DOES NOT PROVIDE LEGAL ADVICE.
CRS Scoring is an informational tool. Nothing on this website — including the CRS score calculator, any AI-generated commentary, score analysis, recommendations, draw alerts, immigration tips, or any other content — constitutes legal advice, immigration advice, or a lawyer-client or consultant-client relationship of any kind.
If you need legal advice about your immigration options, you must consult a licensed professional — specifically, a lawyer licensed to practice immigration law in a Canadian province or territory, or a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC) registered and in good standing with the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC).
Do not make any immigration decisions — including whether or how to apply for Express Entry, whether to accept a provincial nomination, or whether to submit a profile — based solely on what you read on this website.
2. Who We Are
crsscoring.com ("we," "us," "our," or the "Site") is operated by Lourenco Couto Costa. We provide a free tool for calculating CRS scores under Canada's Express Entry immigration system, along with informational content about Express Entry draws and Canadian immigration generally.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years of age to use this website. By using the site, you represent that you are 18 or older. We do not knowingly provide services to anyone under 18.
4. The CRS Calculator — What It Is and What It Is Not
4.1 What the Calculator Does
Our calculator estimates your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score based on the inputs you provide. CRS scores are used by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) in the Express Entry system to rank candidates in the pool.
4.2 Accuracy Disclaimer
The score produced by our calculator is an estimate only. Your actual CRS score, as determined by IRCC through your official Express Entry profile, may differ from the estimate provided by our tool. Discrepancies can occur because:
- Immigration law and CRS scoring rules change frequently, and our calculator may not reflect the most recent updates
- The nuances of your specific situation (e.g., how IRCC evaluates foreign credentials, whether your job offer qualifies, etc.) may not be fully captured by a self-serve calculator
- You may have entered information that differs from how IRCC will officially assess your documents
- Our calculator may contain errors or bugs
We make no warranty — express or implied — that the CRS score calculated by our tool is accurate, complete, or current.
4.3 Not a Substitute for an Official Profile
The only authoritative CRS score is the one IRCC assigns when you create an official Express Entry profile at canada.ca. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the Government of Canada or IRCC in any way.
5. AI-Generated Content Disclaimer
Parts of our website may include AI-generated commentary, analysis, or suggestions about your CRS score, ways to improve your score, or general Express Entry strategy. You understand and agree that:
- AI-generated content is produced automatically and has not been reviewed, verified, or approved by a licensed immigration lawyer or RCIC
- AI-generated content may contain errors, outdated information, or suggestions that are not applicable to your specific situation
- AI-generated content is never legal advice, regardless of how it is phrased
- You rely on AI-generated content entirely at your own risk
6. Draw Alerts and Email Communications
If you subscribe to our draw alert emails, you understand that:
- Draw alert information is based on publicly available IRCC data and is provided for informational purposes only
- We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of draw alert information
- A draw alert email is not a recommendation that you take any particular action
- Email communications may be delayed or not delivered due to technical issues outside our control
7. Lead Sharing With Immigration Professionals
If you have provided explicit consent to have your profile data (email, CRS score, and score breakdown) shared with licensed immigration attorneys or RCICs, you understand that:
- We may share your information with those professionals as described in our Privacy Policy
- Contacting you is at the discretion of those professionals and is not guaranteed
- Any communication or services you receive from those professionals is entirely separate from our website and governed by a separate agreement between you and them
- We are not responsible for the quality, accuracy, cost, or outcome of any services provided by third-party immigration professionals
- We do not endorse or vouch for any specific lawyer or RCIC we share data with
- You retain the right to withdraw your lead-sharing consent at any time by emailing privacy@crsscoring.com
