Would you like to know whether your career or current job can lead you to permanent residency in Canada? Is it your dream to work in a career that you love but also live in a country of your dreams, such as Canada? With the Federal Skilled Worker Program, you may be able to do so.

6 Main Factors to Determine Eligibility for the Federal Skilled Worker Program

The 6 main factors that were mentioned in the skilled worker point grid condition are used to determine your eligibility for immigration to Canada. As previously stated, applicants must obtain a total amount of 67 points out of 100 to qualify. The main selection factors are:

The more points you can get, the higher the chances of you immigrating to Canada. It is important to note that this program selects candidates with the highest chances of economic settlement success as well as economic contribution to Canada. This new program maintains previous criteria but has been modified to the relative importance and point structure for each selection factor. By calculating the points you would get through each selection factor, you will have a better idea of your chances, as well. I have included a chart below for you to easily see how many points you could accumulate.
