workpermit.com has created a special Canadian immigration point calculator, which will help you determine if you would qualify under the Canada immigration point system. You will need a total of 67 points to qualify under Canada's immigration points system. If you are a skilled worker, this may be a very good option for you for immigrating to Canada.
