Citizenship and Immigration Canada FSW Program

Federal Skilled Worker visa is your gate-way to secure a good occupation in Canada and live a good life in a nation that boasts of a very high GDP Gross Domestic Productivity. This means that you get to earn a good remuneration in Canada as compared to other geographies in the world. Canada does also get you a close proximity on immigration to countries such as US and Europe. CIC Citizenship and Immigration Canada FSW Program is therefore a major hit on skilled immigrants. Canada Immigration and Citizenship makes a declaration of 5000 of occupations under its FSW program with a capping of 300 on each of the 24 different categories. Limited number of these occupations takes the competition to a new high. This gets further intense by CICs evaluation of your eligibility as a Federal Worker. CIC would make sure that a skilled worker is able to show a good productivity at the work place that amounts to a good GDP. Each application on immigration is therefore given a tight assessment and evaluated against the points grid. There exist a certain criteria on eligibility that need to be complied with, while you make an application as a Federal Skilled Worker. First and foremost, you should have a full-time paid occupation of at least 1 year under skill level A, B or Skill type 0 under any of the eligible occupations as per NOC (National Occupation Classification). Alternatively you should have a valid offer on employment by a Canadian employer or you should be enrolled as an international student under any of the PhD programs in Canada. Once your application gets a green light on these conditions, it gets scaled to 6 parameters on eligibility. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Language Education Work Experience Age Arranged Employment Adaptability

Language comes as your first barrier on eligibility and you must meet requirements on CLB 7 Canadian Language Benchmark 7. Your competency with reading, writing, speaking and listening should be established prior to making an application. Educational Credential Assessment ECA comes next on the list and makes sure that your education comes at par to what Canada observes for its secondary or post-secondary education. CIC would allocate you 15 to 20 points subject to condition that your age falls in the bracket of 20 to 34 years. The younger you are at the time of making the application, higher are your chances on immigration. Similarly, your professional experience of 8 to 10 years makes you more worthy of an occupation as a Federal Skilled Worker. The points die down as your experience shows a lower figure. Adaptability is one of the key criteria that reflect on your ability as a Federal Skilled Worker. A prior stay in Canada as a student or as a professional would mean that you can adapt well to the change in the work place and the culture. CIC Citizenship and Immigration Canada FSW Program is your chance to take a leap on career growth. But, this comes with a clause of Conditions apply, that you must comply with.
