Canada Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) Program has been the most popular path to Canadian Permanent Residency (PR). It’s the simplest way for settling down in Canada and become a Canadian Citizen. The Canada FSW Program is a Point Based System. You are required to score 67 of 100 points from attributes like Age, Adaptability to Canada, Language Proficiency, Work Experience and Education; you have to meet the eligibility criteria depending on these points supported by precise and accurate documents.
Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) Visa:
Based on the ability to settle in Canada and participate in Canadian Economy, Federal Skilled Workers are selected as permanent residents in the country. The candidates are assessed based on their education, experience in work, language skills in either English or French (or both) and other factors.
Canada Federal Skilled Worker Visa is intended for qualified and skilled professionals under Canada FSW program, to fill the skill shortage in their country. Applicants satisfying all the eligibility requirements will be granted a permanent residence visa and are permitted to live and work in Canada with no limitations.
In addition applicants are required to meet the point based assessment and acquire minimum 67 out of 100 points. The processing time for the Visa has now become commendably short; it now takes only 6 months to 12 months which is reduced after Govt. of Canada introduced changes to immigration act on June 18, 2008.
