Adaptability selection points are awarded if the applicant show that the applicant or his/her dependants will adapt easily to living in Canada. Applicants may receive a maximum of 10 points under the adaptability category.
An applicant, his or her spouse, or common-law partner may only count points from each category once. In other words, if both the applicant and his or her spouse are eligible for selection points under a particular category, selection points will only be awarded for one of them. The breakdown of the adaptability categories is shown as follows:

Spouse or common-law partner's level of education: 3-5points

a. Secondary school (high school) diploma or less: 0 points
b. A one-year diploma, trade certificate, apprenticeship, or university degree and at least 12 years of full-time or full-time equivalent studies: 3 points
c. A two or three-year diploma, trade certificate, apprenticeship, or university degree and at least 14 years of full-time or full-time equivalent studies: 4 points
d. A Master's Degree or PhD and at least 17 years of full-time or full-time equivalent studies: 5 points

Previous study in Canada: Max. 5 points

The applicant, or accompanying spouse or common-law partner, must have completed a program of full-time study of at least two year's duration at a post-secondary institution in Canada. This must have been done after the person reached 17 years or age old and with a valid student authorization. There is no need to have obtained an educational credential for these two years of study to earn these selection points.

Previous work in Canada: Max. 5 points

The applicant, or accompanying spouse or common-law partner, must have completed a minimum of one year of full-time work in Canada on a valid work permit.

Arranged employment: Max. 5 points[/b]

The applicant, or accompanying spouse or common-law partner, can claim five additional points if he or she has arranged employment.
