The Federal Skilled Worker program is a Canadian immigration program that allows individuals with certain skills and work experience to apply for permanent residence in Canada. To be eligible for the program, individuals must meet certain criteria related to their work experience, language proficiency, education, and other factors.
To be considered for the Federal Skilled Worker program, individuals must first create an Express Entry profile and enter the Express Entry pool. Candidates in the pool are then ranked against each other based on a points system called the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). The CRS takes into account factors such as age, education, work experience, language proficiency, and other factors.
The highest-ranked candidates in the pool are invited to apply for permanent residence through regular draws from the pool. The Federal Skilled Worker program is just one of several immigration programs that use the Express Entry system to select candidates for permanent residence in Canada.
In addition to meeting the basic eligibility criteria, candidates for the Federal Skilled Worker program must also meet certain requirements related to their work experience, language proficiency, and education. They must also pass a medical examination and a security clearance. Once they have been invited to apply, candidates have 60 days to submit a complete application for permanent residence.
