Federal Skilled Worker Program

Federal Skilled Worker Program for Permanent Residency

The Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) program is a process for obtaining Permanent Residency in Canada. FSW is the longest-standing economic-based Permanent Residency program in Canada. It is suitable for those who are prospectively looking to live and work in Canada, but who have not yet secured employment in Canada or are self-employed in Canada and not progressing through a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP).

The category works on a point system with a minimum requirement of 67 points out of a possible 100 to qualify. Points can be gained for the following:

Age
Level of education
Language ability in English and French
Work Experience
Arranged employment
Adaptability (points for other connections to Canada)

Interestingly, language proficiency is weighted as the most significant category in the FSW program, followed by education, arranged employment, age, and adaptability.

Applications for the FSW program must be submitted electronically through the federal online Express Entry (EE) system, and are subject to the EE selection criteria.

Spouses and children (dependents) under the age of 22 are eligible for permanent residence under the same application and are not required to qualify independently of the principal applicant.
