This free eligibility checker is a preliminary, private-sector screening tool from MAK Canadian Immigration Services. It can point to Canadian immigration pathways that may be worth reviewing. It does not make an official eligibility or approval decision – IRCC, and provincial or territorial authorities where applicable, make official decisions.
Quick answer: Answer a short set of questions and the scanner suggests Canadian immigration pathways that may be worth exploring – covering skilled-worker and Express Entry-linked options, selected PNP possibilities, family sponsorship, visitor and Super Visa options, study permits, and business or entrepreneur pathways. It is preliminary only and is not an official IRCC decision. Open the tool with the button above.

What Information Can Affect Canadian Immigration Eligibility?
Different pathways weigh different factors, and no single factor decides a case. Depending on the route, the following can matter:
AgeEducationLanguage resultsWork experienceOccupation / NOCCanadian study or workA job offerSpouse or partnerFamily in CanadaBusiness backgroundProvince or territoryFunds (if applicable)Admissibility & status
Which Canadian Immigration Pathways May Be Reviewed?
Skilled Worker
Federal Express Entry (FSW, CEC, FST) and Express Entry-linked provincial options.
Business / Entrepreneur
Provincial entrepreneur and farm streams, plus Quebec entrepreneur options.
Parents & Grandparents Super Visa
Visit your child or grandchild in Canada, up to five years per entry.
Study Permit
DLI acceptance, attestation letters and proof of funds for a first permit.
Visitor Visa / eTA
Tourism and family visits, through a temporary resident visa or eTA.
Family Sponsorship
Spouse, common-law and conjugal partner sponsorship, inland or outland.
These are the pathway groups the scanner reviews. Any match is preliminary only – final eligibility and approval depend on current official rules and an officer's decision. Verify details on canada.ca or with a licensed RCIC.

Immigration Eligibility Is Not the Same as Approval
Being eligible for a program is only the first step. The stages are usually separate: basic program eligibility, entering a pool where applicable, a ranking such as CRS, an invitation or nomination, a complete application, document proof, admissibility checks, and finally an official decision. A preliminary tool speaks only to the earliest stage.
Express Entry Eligibility Is Not the Same as Your CRS Score
Meeting Express Entry eligibility lets you into the pool; your CRS score then determines your rank. The MAK scanner is not the official CRS calculator; some scanner results may discuss Express Entry factors, but for a current score estimate use the Government of Canada’s CRS calculator. This page does not calculate a CRS score.
MAK Immigration Scanner and Official IRCC Tools
IRCC’s Come to Canada tool and its CRS calculator are the government’s official resources. MAK’s Immigration Scanner is a private, preliminary pathway-screening tool. It is not official, not IRCC-approved, not government-affiliated, and it does not replace an official IRCC decision.
What the Scanner Cannot Confirm
- Admissibility (criminal, medical, security)
- Misrepresentation risk
- A final NOC / duties determination
- Complete document sufficiency
- Complex immigration history and previous refusals
- Current invitation likelihood
- Province-specific discretion
- Approval
- Legal strategy for unusual cases

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the MAK Immigration Scanner an official IRCC tool?
No. It is a free, preliminary private-sector tool. IRCC makes all official decisions.
Does the scanner guarantee that I qualify?
The scanner cannot make an official eligibility decision, and no representative can guarantee approval. IRCC and provincial or territorial authorities, where applicable, make official decisions.
Which immigration pathways can the scanner review?
The scanner reviews six pathway groups: skilled-worker options under Express Entry (FSW, CEC and FST) and Express Entry-linked PNP possibilities; business, entrepreneur and investor streams; the Parents and Grandparents Super Visa; study permits; visitor visa or eTA; and family sponsorship for spouses, common-law and conjugal partners. Other family classes and some standalone streams are not all covered. It is preliminary and not an official IRCC decision.
Does the scanner calculate an official CRS score?
No. For an official CRS estimate, use the Government of Canada CRS calculator. See our CRS page.
What should I do after the scanner shows a possible pathway?
Verify it against current official requirements, and if helpful, book an RCIC consultation.
What happens when no pathway is identified?
A “no match” reflects the answers given. Rules change and details matter, so a consultation can help identify other options.
Is the Immigration Scanner free?
Yes, the preliminary scanner is free to use.
Should I also use the official Come to Canada tool?
Yes – it is a useful official resource. This scanner is a preliminary complement with an optional RCIC review.
