Federal Skilled Worker
The federal skilled worker class is one of the economic immigration streams (IRPR s.75) aimed at attracting qualified skilled workers to come to Canada. Professionals include nurses, engineers, doctors, teachers, dentists, accountants, and more.
The first thing we advise you to do when verifying your eligibility as a FSW is to check that your job title and description match the job description as set out by National Occupation Classification Matrix of Canada (NOC).
The focus is heavily on the duties as titles might vary from country to country.
The skilled worker must have the potential to be economically successful in Canada and intend to reside in a province other than Quebec to qualify for the federal skilled worker program.
Not only does a foreign national have to be eligible for this immigration stream, there needs to be no factors that renders them inadmissible (IRPA s. 33-42) to Canada.
The eligibility criteria used to determine if a foreign national has the ability to be economically successful in Canada are:
-
Language skills
-
Education
-
Work Experience
-
Age
-
Arranged employment
-
Adaptability
