Which age should you use?
Use the age you will be on the date an invitation to apply may be issued. Because age points can change at a birthday, an estimate made today can differ from the score attached to a later invitation round.
Receiving zero age points at 45 or older does not automatically make a person ineligible. Language, education, work experience, transferability and additional factors still contribute to the total.
Why the spouse columns differ
When a spouse or common-law partner accompanies the principal applicant, the principal applicant’s core maximum is reduced and up to 40 points become available for the partner’s education, language and Canadian work experience. If the partner is not accompanying, or is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, IRCC scores the principal applicant as without an accompanying spouse.
