Federal Skilled Worker Program

Skilled workers are people who are chosen as permanent residents based on their ability to prosper in Canada.

As of January 2015, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) has a new electronic system called Express Entry to manage applications for permanent residence under the Federal Skilled Worker program.

Basic eligibility:

You have at least one year (1,560 hours total / 30 hours per week), continuous full-time or an equal amount in part-time:
In a single occupation,
Within the last 10 years,
At skill type 0, or skill levels A or B of the 2011 edition of the Canadian National Occupational Classification (NOC), and you:
You must show that you did the duties set out in the lead statement of the occupational description in the NOC, including all the essential duties and most of the main duties listed.

Education

Language ability

You must have: a Canadian secondary (high school) or post-secondary certificate, diploma or degree, or an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) report from an agency approved by CIC to show your foreign education is equal to Canadian education standards.
