Express Entry Federal Skilled Worker Program 

One of the three programs in Canada’s Express Entry system for processing immigration applications is the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) program. Candidates with no connections to Canada who may have foreign work experience are eligible to apply for permanent residency through the FSW program.

This program is for skilled individuals who want to permanently immigrate to Canada and have work experience abroad.

Based on their education, relevant expertise, proficiency in English and/or French, and other requirements, skilled employees are chosen as permanent residents. They frequently succeed in Canada due to these factors.

As of January 1, 2015, creating an Express Entry profile is the first step in becoming a skilled worker eligible for:

• Federal Skilled Worker Program,
• Federal Skilled Trades Program, and
• Canadian Experience Class.
