Stop refreshing IRCC's website. CanTrack calculates your Express Entry CRS score as you type, tracks every round of invitations, and can alert you the moment a new draw opens, often before you'd otherwise find out. KEY FEATURES • Live CRS Calculator: Every question IRCC actually asks, with your running score out of 1,200 visible the whole time. Autosaves as you go, no save button needed. • Real Draw Alerts: A genuine push notification when IRCC opens a new round of invitations, not a background-refresh guess that might not fire. • Category Matcher: See where you stand across all major Express Entry categories at once (General, CEC, FSTC, French-language proficiency, healthcare, and STEM), not just the one you assume applies. • Fastest Ways to Gain Points: Not just your score. CanTrack simulates real what-if moves (a second language, a French test, more Canadian work experience, a higher credential) and shows exactly how many points each one is worth and what your new total would be. No competitor calculator does this; they stop at reporting the number. • Full Draw History: Every round, its cut-off score, and whether your current score would have cleared it. • IRCC News, Filtered: Policy changes and provincial nominee updates as they're published, filterable by category and searchable. HOW IT WORKS Answer IRCC's own questions once (age, education, language test scores, work experience), and CanTrack keeps your score current as your situation changes. It's compared against every draw automatically, and if you turn on alerts, you'll know the moment a new round opens. PERFECT FOR • Candidates already in the Express Entry pool • Anyone building a profile before applying • Applicants comparing eligibility across Federal Skilled Worker, Canadian Experience Class, Federal Skilled Trades, and Provincial Nominee streams PRIVATE BY DESIGN CanTrack doesn't require an account, doesn't use analytics or advertising SDKs, and doesn't track you across other apps or websites. The only thing that ever leaves your device is a push token, and only if you turn on alerts. CanTrack is an independent, unofficial app. It's not affiliated with IRCC or the Government of Canada, and estimates carry no guarantee of accuracy. Always confirm eligibility and scores directly with IRCC. Download CanTrack and know your standing, and the moment it changes. Questions or feedback: info@iamtaran.com
