SKILLED WORKER

If you wish to bring your skills and experience, live and work permanently in Canada, and obtain permanent resident status in Canada, you may qualify as a federal skilled worker, or Quebec skilled worker.

CANADIAN FEDERAL SKILLED WORKERS

Federal skilled workers must have completed a post-secondary education, experience, and knowledge of one of Canada’s official languages (English or French)

Skilled workers are assessed against a point system. Points are awarded for education, work experience, knowledge of at least one of Canada’s official languages (English or French), age, authorized employment experience in Canada, authorized post-secondary studies in Canada, spouse or common-law partner’s education, having a spouse or common-law partner or a blood relative (not a cousin) who is a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada. Skilled workers must have sufficient funds to support themselves and their family members for at least six months after arriving in Canada.

The experience of a skilled worker must have occurred within the ten years immediately preceding the date of the application for permanent residence. It must be a Skill Type 0 or Skill Level A or B of the NOC (Canadian National Occupational Classification).

QUEBEC SKILLED WORKERS

Quebec selects immigrants according to its needs. A Certificat de Sélection du Québec must be obtained. Once obtained, an application for permanent residence in Canada must be submitted to Citizenship and Immigration Canada.

Some selection factors taken into consideration by Quebec include the applicant’s knowledge of French, field of education (for the principal applicant and the accompanying spouse or common-law partner), experience, previous stays in Quebec (work, study, visits, business), family members who live in Quebec and are Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada, having a job offer in Quebec, having sufficient funds to be self-sufficient in Quebec for at least three months after arrival in the province.
