The simulator

The simulator answers one question: if a fact about you changed, what would your report look like? It runs the same calculation your real report uses, applies your chosen changes on top of a snapshot of your profile, and shows you the difference — without touching anything.

Before you start

The simulator is an ImmiReport Pro feature. On a free account, opening /app/immireport/simulator returns you to the ImmiReport hub with the upgrade panel open, rather than showing a locked page you cannot use.

Building a scenario

Open ImmiReport Simulator. The left column is the Scenario Builder, in sections:

Section	What you can change
Core	Years older — add years to your age
Language	Levels higher — raise your English or French level
Work	Canadian work and Foreign work — add years to either
Spouse	Accompanying — treat your spouse as accompanying you
Education, Employment factor, Region	Coming soon

Each control is a toggle with a value beside it, so you can stack several changes into one scenario: two more years of Canadian work and a higher language level, together.

When the scenario is ready, select Run simulation. The button reads Running… while Lexpoint works through analyzing, applying, calculating, and finalizing.

Reading the result

The right side has three tabs.

Summary is the default. It gives the projected score, What changed? listing the score deltas the scenario produced, Unlocked for streams that became eligible that were not before, and Competitiveness, comparing your projected CRS against recent cutoffs.

When a scenario moves nothing, the panel says so plainly — No score deltas detected under the selected scenarios — and offers Why it didn’t change more rather than leaving you to work it out. A change that produces no movement is a real answer, and the simulator gives it as one.

Detailed breakdown shows the same result factor by factor, grouped as CRS core, Spouse, Transferability, Additional, and FSW factors, with each row’s before and after.

Run history lists your recent runs — both simulations and recalculations — with what each one was, who triggered it, and how the score moved.

Nothing is written

A simulation is compute-only. Your profile, your report, and your eligibility flags are exactly as they were before you ran it. If you want the change to be real, make it in your profile — which marks your report stale and recalculates it for real.

What a projection is and is not

The simulator projects from the same rules and the same profile snapshot your report uses, so it is internally consistent. It is still a projection:

• It applies the change you specify and nothing else. Real life rarely changes one fact in isolation.
• Cutoff comparisons use recent draw data. Past cutoffs are not a forecast of future ones.
• Every caveat on your real score applies here too, including that the score is self-declared rather than IRCC’s.
