How to immigrate to Canada through the Federal Skilled Worker Program

Obviously the Federal Skilled Worker Programme, also abbreviated to FSWP is the main way for highly skilled immigrants to move to Canada permanently. Now, when we say it's the main way, it's a huge way, it's a massive way for highly skilled individuals and families all over the world to successfully emigrate to Canada and start a new life. So how can you, as an individual listener, really benefit from Canada's Federal Skilled Worker Program?

It's no secret that Canada aims to welcome over 400,000 new immigrants each and every year, and it's anticipated that well over 120,000 to 160,000 of these immigrants will come via the Express Entry route.

So Express Entry is the management system of the Federal Skilled Worker programs and again, over the past six, seven, maybe eight years or so, literally, about 50% of all newcomers to Canada have arrived under Express Entry. Immigration pathways.

So let's look at the process of immigrating to Canada via the FSWP immigration pathway

Well, step one is obviously to ensure you meet the FSWP eligibility criteria. And to do this, I would absolutely suggest and recommend that you take the free visa assessment which is available on this page.

Okay, step two. This one is often very much overlooked in terms of, you know, the limited Canadian immigration information that's dished out or given out by so called Canadian Migration Agents and immigration lawyers, as I say, so step two is that you need to get your education verified, okay.

So you're going to need to use an educational assessment company, such as Wes W. E. S, which is World Education Service. WES not the only educational credential organization and again, head over to Emigrate Canada for a full list of those. So the other thing that you're going to need to do at this point is take your IELTS. Or if you are applying to Quebec, or indeed if you have reasonable communication skills in French as well as English, then obviously do look to take the french exam as well. Now, you can take both the English exam and the French exam, you can take the French only, or the English only, depending on your language skills that you have.

So what you're actually these is increasing your ultimate chances of being granted a visa. Okay, so there are two very confusing issues around express entry that appear confusing but once explained, are actually very simple. It's about 67 points, where does this 67 points issue come from?

Once your Express Entry has been lodged, then you're assigned what's called a CRS score a comprehensive ranking system score, but you will only be accepted into express entry if you're scoring the 67 points, which is required for to make the ultimate Federal Skilled Worker application
