Federal Skilled Worker Program
The Federal Skilled Worker Program is an Express Entry pathway for people with eligible skilled work experience who intend to live outside Quebec.
Minimum requirements
Your qualifying work must be paid, match your primary occupation and its duties, and fall within NOC TEER 0, 1, 2 or 3. You generally need one continuous year of full-time work or an equivalent amount of qualifying part-time work within the last ten years.
You must meet the minimum language level of CLB/NCLC 7 in all four abilities using an approved test. Canadian secondary or postsecondary education can meet the education requirement; foreign education generally requires an Educational Credential Assessment.
Selection and Express Entry ranking
You must meet the program’s minimum requirements and score at least 67 on its selection-factor assessment. This assessment is separate from your CRS score.
A job offer is not mandatory for every applicant. It may affect program selection factors or other requirements. The former 50/200 additional CRS job-offer points have been removed.
Settlement funds, admissibility and supporting-document requirements must also be assessed. We can help review your eligibility and evidence.
