I think the most accurate calculator is what is the official website. However, no matter which calculator you are using the important point is to get as much as score you can. In other words, you should try to increase your score by any means available.Well I've tried it myself and the results are very different than what my lawyer told me. Then I looked at the breakdown of the calculator results find out some discrepancies. See below:
Foreign work experience
A) Official Language proficiency and foreign work experience = 13
B) Canadian and foreign work experience B) = 13
Subtotal = 26
Certificate of qualification = 0
In the questionnaire, I didn't put any foreign work experiences, in fact I had one year full time experience in Cananda, that is exactly I put down, but the result above from the breakdown is showing that I had 26 points from foreign work experience.
I am confused, and that is what the lawyer told me that the calculator from the website is not correct.
