Federal Skilled Workers

 

Canada is currently in need of foreign workers, professionals and skilled workers. Many people meet the criteria to live and work in Canada. Skilled workers are selected as permanent residents based on certain factors. The province of Quebec is responsible for selecting its own skilled workers. The rules for applying as a federal skilled worker can change from time to time without notice.

 

For your application to be eligible for processing, you must:

  • include the results of your official language proficiency test, AND
  • have a valid offer of arranged employment, OR
  • have one year of continuous full-time paid work experience in at least one of the occupation listed on the NOC.

 

If your application is eligible for processing, it will then be assessed against minimum requirements.

Your work experience must be:

  • for at least one year, continuous, and paid (full-time or the equivalent in part-time), AND
  • Skill Type 0 (managerial occupations) or Skill Level A (professional occupations) or B (technical occupations and skilled trades) on the Canadian (NOC) list, AND
  • within the last 10 years.

 

If you meet the above minimum requirements, your application will be processed according to the six selection factors in the skilled worker points grid, which are:

  • your education
  • your abilities in English and/or French, Canada’s two official languages
  • your work experience
  • your age
  • whether you have arranged employment in Canada, and
  • your adaptability.
