EXPRESS ENTRY - FEDERAL SKILLED WORKER
Embedded Files
The Federal Skilled Worker Program is one of the three main federal immigration programs under the Express Entry system. IRCC launched the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) Program in 1967. Under this program, eligible candidates are assessed based on factors such as education, work experience, language proficiency, and other criteria.
The most important benefit of the FSW program is that it allows skilled workers having foreign work experience to immigrate to Canada and apply for Canada PR Visa.
You have the option to apply from either inside or outside of Canada.
The FSWP is part of the Express Entry system, and candidates are ranked against one another through the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) which assigns each candidate a CRS score out of a total of 1200 points.
There is no requirement to have a job offer in Canada to apply under the Express Entry, the applicant’s qualifications will be assessed based on their ability to become economically established in Canada, including their education, skilled work experience, and ability to speak English or French, among other factors.
