If you wish to apply through the Federal Skilled Workers Program (FSWP), you will find that there is an assessment that you must score a 67 out of 100 on. The assessment is based on six selection factors:
- English and/or French skills
- Education
- Experience

- Adaptability
For each selection factor, there are rules regarding how many points you can receive. In terms of English and/or French skills, there is a maximum of 28 points you can accumulate, where 24 points is based on your skills in either English or French, and 4 points based on your skills in the other official language. The assessment will determine how well you can read, write, speak, and listen.
