The PSTQ Score Calculator 2026 helps individuals estimate their score for Quebec's Skilled Worker Selection Program (PSTQ). This free tool provides an estimate out of 1,400 points, based on the grid effective since June 20, 2025 (with an erratum on July 9, 2025).
Key features include:
- Comprehensive Scoring: The calculator covers all three sections of the PSTQ: Capital humain (max 520), Réponse aux besoins du marché du travail (max 700), and Facteurs d'adaptation (max 180).
- Four Selection Streams: It supports all four streams: Highly qualified, Intermediate & manual, Regulated professions, and Exceptional talent, each with its own minimum requirements.
- Detailed Criteria: The tool accounts for French-level scoring, Quebec-specific experience (work, residence, study), age, occupation's TEER category, labour-market diagnosis, and professional authorization.
- Regional Bonus: It highlights potential points for settling outside the Montréal metro area, with specific region bonuses.
- Validated Job Offer: Includes scoring for validated job offers and other status factors like family members in Quebec.
The main problem it solves is providing a clear, sourced estimate of an applicant's PSTQ score, helping them understand their eligibility and identify areas for improvement in their application, all based on official Quebec government tables.
