Under the Federal Skilled Worker program, Canada invites graduates of public post-secondary institutions and long term workers to apply for immigration.
Students must have successfully completed a university degree or college diploma in a public post-secondary institution after two years of full time study, and have worked in Canada for at least one year in an occupation listed under the National Occupational Classification (NOC) in Skill Type 0 (managerial), or Skill Level A (professional occupations), or Skill Level B (technical occupations or skilled trades). Applicants are assessed on their education, their work experience and their ability in English or French.
Workers on temporary work permits in Canada for at least two years who have occupations listed under NOC 0, A, or B, may also apply. Applicants are assessed on their work experience and their ability in English or French.
All applicants may apply while still working in Canada or within one year of leaving their job.
