Excerpts from the Book
1.2.2 Federal Skilled Worker Program
Immigrating to Canada as a federal skilled worker has been the most used method to enter the country. According to the growing number of applicants the government of Canada is constantly modifying the requirements of the FSW program in order to improve a newcomer’s chances to settle and build a new life in Canada.
The immigration as a skilled worker is a points-based immigration. You will be assessed on a points system according to the so called “six selection factors”. These include education, age, work experience, language ability, adaptability and arranged employment in Canada. You can score up to 100 points but you must have a minimum of 67 points to be able to apply. “If you plan to immigrate with your spouse or common-law partner, you should both calculate your score, and choose the one with the highest score to be the principal applicant.” This applies to most of the other immigration programs, too.
In order to be able to apply for the FSW program you must meet the minimum requirements. You must have worked at least one year within the last ten years continuous in a full-time job (a total of 1,560 hours / 30 hours per week) or an equal amount in part-time. The work you did must have been paid, that means volunteer work and internships do not count. Your job has to be at Skill Type 0 or Skill Level A or B according to the 2011 NOC.
