What are the eligibility criteria for the Federal Skilled Worker Program?

The Federal Skilled Worker Program, managed through the Express Entry system, uses a points-based selection grid. You need at least 67 out of 100 points to be eligible.

Selection criteria include:

  • Education: Credentials must be evaluated through an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA).
  • Work experience: At least one year of continuous full-time skilled work experience within the past 10 years.
  • Language ability: Proof of proficiency in English and/or French through recognized tests (IELTS, TEF, etc.).
  • Age: Younger applicants receive higher scores.
  • Valid job offer: Adds bonus points, especially if supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA).
  • Adaptability: Includes spouse’s education or experience, and family ties in Canada.

Meeting the criteria doesn’t guarantee an invitation, but increases your chances. For a personalized assessment, contact our Immigration Lawyers in Montreal at Brunel Immigration.
