Federal Skilled Worker

When it comes to immigrating to Canada permanently, Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) is the program you should apply for.
Applications for the FSW program are managed via Express Entry. An applicant needs to meet the requirements of the FSW and also the threshold of Express Entry, in order to receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA). The immigrants are selected based on the points system and their ability to succeed economically in Canada.
