How the Workforce Priority Stream score works

Ontario ranks candidates on a 130-point grid across three groups. The higher your score, the more likely you are to receive an invitation when Ontario holds a draw. Cut-off scores change from draw to draw, so there is no fixed “pass mark” — the goal is simply to make your profile as strong as it honestly can be.

The biggest levers (for most newcomers)

  • Language. Moving from CLB 6 to CLB 9 is worth up to 11 points — often the fastest, cheapest gain.
  • Location. A job outside Toronto is worth up to 15 points. The same job in Northern Ontario can outscore a higher-paid Toronto role.
  • Wage & experience. A higher hourly wage and more months of Ontario work add up quickly — this is where landing the right job matters most.
  • Canadian credentials. A Canadian diploma or certificate adds 5–10 points and often lifts your job’s TEER level too.
Working in ECE, daycare or a caregiving role? Your points usually come less from wage and more from Ontario experience, a job outside Toronto, your Canadian credential and your language score. A Registered ECE (RECE) role scores higher than an ECE Assistant role because of its skill level. We can help you target roles that build the strongest profile.
