Federal Skilled Worker Program

Federal Skilled Worker Program: Gateway to Canada

The Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) is a cornerstone of Canada’s Express Entry immigration system, designed to attract skilled professionals from around the globe. This program evaluates candidates based on their ability to succeed in Canada’s economy, using a points-based system. Ays Immigration provides expert guidance to navigate this competitive pathway, enhancing your application for a successful move to Canada.

The FSWP is aimed at skilled workers with foreign work experience who are seeking permanent residency in Canada. Candidates are assessed across several factors, including language ability, education, work experience, age, arranged employment in Canada, and adaptability. To be eligible, applicants must meet the minimum criteria of work experience, language proficiency, and education.

Work Experience: At least one year of continuous full-time or equivalent part-time paid work experience in a skilled occupation within the last ten years.

Language Proficiency: Proficiency in English or French at a level sufficient for the Canadian labor market, as demonstrated by approved language tests.

Education: A Canadian secondary (high school) or post-secondary certificate, diploma or degree, or its foreign equivalent, assessed by an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA).

Profile Submission: Interested candidates must first submit an Express Entry profile online.

Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS): Profiles are assessed and ranked in the Express Entry pool using the CRS.

Invitation to Apply (ITA): Candidates with the highest scores are invited to apply for permanent residency.
