This program is for people who wish to become Canadian Permanent Residents and live in any province, except the province of Quebec. Through this category, the Canadian Government wants to meet acute skill shortages, by attracting professionals with working experience in 38 professions in demand.

The Federal skilled worker class is based on points and confers permanent resident status to applicants who are able to become economically established in Canada. Prospective applicants are assessed under 6 major factors and several sub-factors of assessment providing for a total of 100 points. The main factors are: education, language, experience, age, arranged employment and adaptability.

Successful applicants must obtain a minimum of 67 points with at least one year of experience within the last 10 years in one of the occupations listed in either Skill Type 0 or Skill Level A or B of the National Occupational Classification (NOC).

Applicants who do not meet the applicable pass mark may be accepted under the positive discretion provisions of the regulations. A visa officer has a general discretion to issue an immigrant visa to an applicant who has less than 67 points if the applicant can show that he has a great chance and ability of becoming successfully established in Canada.
