Canada Federal Skilled Worker Program

Canada Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)

Key Features of the FSWP

• Permanent Residency: Successful candidates receive a permanent resident status, offering the right to live, work, and study anywhere in Canada.
• Point-Based Selection: Applicants are evaluated under the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), which scores them based on key factors like age, education, work experience, and language skills.
• Quick Processing: Applications under the Express Entry system are processed within six months for eligible candidates.
