Pool Pass

Six months of CRS Guard, one payment

CRS Guard keeps an eye on the dates that change your CRS score or eligibility, and recalculates your score when the points grid changes. Pool Pass covers 6 months of it for CA$29.99, paid once.

  • 6 months of CRS Guard from the day of payment
  • One-time payment, no automatic renewal
  • 14-day refund, no questions asked

What CRS Guard does

  1. A saved profile

    Save your calculator answers and a few key dates once. CRS Guard uses them to work out when your score or eligibility changes. Update them whenever your situation changes.

  2. Reminders before dates that change your score or eligibility

    Emails 90, 30 and 7 days before:

    • birthdays that lower your age points
    • the end of a language test result’s 2-year validity
    • the end of an educational credential assessment’s (ECA) 5-year validity
    • the 12-month expiry of your Express Entry profile

    Plus an email on each anniversary of your Canadian work start date, when another year of experience can change your points.

  3. Recalculation when the CRS formula changes

    When IRCC changes the CRS points grid, CRS Guard recalculates your saved profile under the new grid and emails you the change as “was X, now Y”. The first change is the grid that takes effect on November 3, 2026.

What it does not do

  • No immigration advice. CRS Guard reports dates and estimated scores calculated from rules IRCC publishes. It does not tell you which steps to take. DrawRelay is not an authorized immigration representative.
  • Nothing done on your behalf. It does not create, submit or update an Express Entry profile or any application, and it never asks for your IRCC account sign-in.
  • No guarantee of an invitation. Only IRCC decides scores, eligibility and invitations. An estimate, a reminder or an alert does not guarantee an invitation to apply.
  • Not a government service. DrawRelay is independent and not affiliated with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) or any government.

Frequently asked questions

When do the six months start?

On the day of payment, for 183 days. If you already have an active pass, the new 6 months are added to the end of it.

Will I be charged again?

No. Pool Pass is a one-time payment with no automatic renewal and no subscription. To keep CRS Guard after your pass ends, you can buy another one.

How do I sign in after paying?

A one-time sign-in link is emailed to the address you entered at checkout. There is no password. You can request a new link from the sign-in form at /guard at any time.

How do refunds work?

Write to hello@drawrelay.com within 14 days of payment for a full refund, no questions asked. The refund goes back to your original payment method, and CRS Guard stops when it is processed.

How are reminder dates worked out?

From the dates you enter and the validity periods IRCC publishes: 2 years for language test results, 5 years for an educational credential assessment and 12 months for an Express Entry profile. Check the documents themselves for the exact dates that apply to you.

What happens when my pass ends?

CRS Guard reminders and recalculation emails stop. Free draw alerts keep working if you signed up for them. Nothing renews and nothing is charged.

Do I need Pool Pass to use the calculator?

No. The CRS calculator, the Express Entry draw tracker and free email alerts for new rounds stay free.

Is CRS Guard immigration advice?

No. It reports dates and estimated CRS scores calculated from published rules. Only IRCC determines your score, eligibility and invitations.

Pool Pass opens soon. Until then, the CRS calculator and the draw tracker are free.
