How to Use the FSTP to Immigrate to Canada?

The FSWP has been a key Canada immigration option for skilled workers since its inception in 1967.

Over 100 distinct economic class immigration programs exist for potential immigrants to Canada who want to become Canada permanent residents. Since its inception in 1967, the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) has been established to be among the most popular options for skilled people wishing to make Canada their home.

What exactly is the FSWP?

The FSWP is a program that allows people with skilled job experience to permanently immigrate to Canada. It was the first program of its kind in the world to use a points system to objectively evaluate candidates, and it has prompted other countries to follow suit, including Australia and New Zealand.

Who can apply for the FSWP?

The FSWP is a multi-step process that allows you to come to Canada. Applicants must satisfy the following criteria in order to begin:

• At least 1 year of experience in a skilled occupation

• At least one educational credential

• Demonstrate proof of funding

• A minimal Canadian Language Benchmark of 7 on an English or French language test (if applicable)

• On the FSWP scoring grid, get at least 67 out of 100 points.

Experience in the workplace

You must have a minimum of one year of skilled work experience in an occupation specified in Canada's National Occupation Classification (NOC) system to be considered for the FSWP.

In a nutshell, the NOC is a method used in Canada to assess the degree of competence and education required for a job or vocation within the same industry. There are three types of NOCs that are eligible for FSWP and any Express Entry program:

• NOC 0: Positions in management

• NOC B: Skilled crafts professions

• NOC A: Careers that normally require a university degree

Education

You must have completed at least a high school education, either in Canada or abroad, to meet the education requirement. If you completed your education outside of Canada, you'll need an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) to prove that it's equivalent to a Canadian diploma, degree, or certification.

Language 

Being able to demonstrate fluency in one of Canada's official languages is essential (English or French), candidates for the FSWP must achieve a minimum score of 7 on the Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB). Reading, writing, speaking, and listening will all be graded.

Evidence of funds

Applicants should also confirm that they have adequate proof of funds to support themselves and their families in the event of a financial emergency. If a candidate is already employed in Canada or has a valid job offer, this law does not apply. Depending on the number of people seeking to immigrate to Canada, the minimal funds will vary. A letter from the bank or financial institution where you keep your money can serve as proof of funds. Any outstanding bills, account numbers, loans, and the average sum for the last six months must be included in the letter.

Number of family members	Funds required in CAD
1	$13,310
2	$16,570
3	$20,371
4	$24,733
5	$28,052
6	$31,638
7	$35,224
Each additional family member	$3,586

Grid of FSWP points

In addition to the foregoing requirements, you must score 67 points out of 100 on the FSWP score grid. The six key factors are analyzed using the grid.

Factors	Points
Education	Up to 25
Language Skills	Up to 28
Work Experience	Up to 15
Age	Up to 12
Arranged employment	Up to 10

What should I do now that I'm eligible for the FSWP?

Express Entry manages three economic Canada immigration channels, one of which is the FSWP. The Canadian Experience Class and the Federal Skilled Trades Program are the other two programs.

You can build a profile on the Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada website if you are eligible for any of these three programs (IRCC). A Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score will be assigned to you based on human capital variables such as age, language abilities, professional experience, and educational qualification. Candidates' scores are compared to those of other candidates in the pool, and the top scorers are given an invitation to apply (ITA) for Canada permanent residency. Every two weeks, ITAs are sent out. You have 60 days after receiving an ITA to submit your Canada permanent residence application to IRCC.

Invitations to the FSWP will commence in early July 2022.

The FWSP was momentarily stalled in 2021 due to the epidemic, as the federal government opted to emphasize in-Canada applications in order to meet its objective of attracting over 400,000 Canada permanent residents by that year.

The IRCC has stated that it will begin accepting new applications for all three Express Entry-managed programs, including the FSWP, in early July of this year. IRCC will strive to complete all prospective Express Entry applications within six months, as per Immigration Minister Sean Fraser. As Canada aims to attract more talented people to help its economy, Express Entry will become more prominent in the coming years. Canada expects to receive approximately 110,000 immigrants through Express Entry by 2024.
