PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

It is important to satisfy all the requirements under the program as with any immigration program. Currently, to be eligible you must have “skilled work experience” and your work experience must be:

✅ At least one year (1,560 hours total / 30 hours per week), continuous full-time or an equal amount in part-time,
✅ Paid work (volunteer work and unpaid internships do not count),
✅ In the same job,
✅ Within the last 10 years, &
✅ Considered Skilled Work Experience under the National Occupational Classification (NOC).

If you meet all the conditions set out in the minimum requirements, your application will be assessed based on the selection factors in the Federal Skilled Worker Point’s Grid which looks at the following factors.

✅ Your skills in English and/or French (Two official languages),
✅ Your education,
✅ Your work experience,
✅ Your age,
✅ Whether you have a valid job offer, and
✅ Your adaptability (how well you are likely to settle here)

PROGRAM PRIVILEGES

Qualifying under this program will make you a Permanent Resident (PR) of Canada. As a Permanent Resident, you can do anything that a Canadian Citizen can do, except vote or join the military. As a PR, you can travel more freely and enter many countries without needing a Visa. Additionally, this will entitle you to all the other benefits extended to all Canadians and PR’s, such as universal healthcare coverage, tax benefits and stable job opportunities. Lastly, after you satisfy the residency requirements as a PR, you can then apply for Canadian Citizenship.
