Federal Skilled Worker

Federal Skilled Worker

The Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) enables foreign nationals to immigrate to Canada. The Federal Skilled Worker Program has been successfully helping Canada select deserving applicants from across the globe to immigrate and work in Canada. The program assigns points to each candidate by evaluating multiple factors like age, language skills, work experience, education, and occupation by aligning with the Express Entry selection process.
Canada’s express entry selection system manages three different economic immigration programs, including FSWP. Incidentally, Canada is the world’s first country to introduce a point system to select deserving applicants. Hiring an experienced immigration consultant can help you score higher points with proper representation of your eligibility criteria.

How FSWP is facilitating immigration

FSWP is instrumental in enabling over 110,000 foreign nationals to immigrate to Canada annually. The program leverages the Comprehensive Ranking System of Express Entry draws for periodic selection of eligible candidates who can apply for permanent residency through FSWP and other economic immigration pathways.
FSWP is a suitable alternative if you are not a skilled trade professional and have no exposure to Canada. FSWP aspirants need no Canadian work experience either. However, one should satisfy the minimum points requirement on the following criteria:

• Work experience – Have a minimum of 12 months of continuous work experience in a skilled category within the previous ten years.
• Language proficiency – Must have a minimum CLB level 7 score in an approved language test of English and French language.
• Education level – Equivalent education of Canadian high school level diploma
• Living in Canada – Candidates should plan to live in Canada.
• Financial backing – Enough funds to support for staying in Canada

These factors will assign points to the candidate on the FSWP grid. An eligible candidate should obtain a minimum of 67 points out of 100. It will qualify the applicant to enter the Express Entry selection system by creating a profile.

Canada requires workers in three different skill levels. You can select from a vast assortment of occupations to qualify. Following are skilled worker occupations for FSWP immigration:

Skill type zero– It refers to several manager category jobs in restaurants, food services, and wholesale trade, among others
