How sure we are
Ontario’s grid says “Doctorate or degree in medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine or optometry”. The app reads it as any doctorate (10 points), since a PhD would otherwise score below a master’s.
The grid gives 5 points for one official language without naming a level. The app gives them to anyone with a valid test, and 10 for both languages at CLB 6 or higher.
Ontario scores the hourly wage. For a salary the app divides by 52 weeks and the hours you entered; Ontario doesn’t publish its own conversion.
