CANADA PERMANENT RESIDENCY

FEDERAL SKILLED WORKER VISA

Foreign skilled workers and professionals are greatly needed in Canada. The Canadian skilled worker visa uses a point scoring system. The number of points required to qualify can vary.

Why Choose UK Visa Xpats For Your Canada Visa?

Points are awarded for:
  • Age (preferably between 17 and 49)
  • Work Experience
  • Proficiency in English and/or French (Canada’s two official languages)
  • Pre-arranged employment in Canada
  • Education and
  • Adaptability (how well you are likely to settle in Canada)

The skilled worker visa program allows the immigration of the worker’s spouse or unmarried partner as well as any unmarried children under 22 years old. Contact us and we can assess your situation and determine whether you qualify for a skilled worker visa and get your paperwork started.

FEDERAL SKILLED TRADES PROGRAM

The Federal Skilled Trades program allows individuals with job offers or appropriate certification to work in certain occupations to obtain Canadian Permanent Residency in any Canadian Province or Territory other than Quebec. Quebec Skilled Worker applicants intending to reside in the province of Quebec are selected based upon a different set of criteria than applicants who wish to settle elsewhere in Canada.

To qualify for the skills trade programme, you must meet the minimum requirements:
  • Plan to live outside the province of Quebec (Note: The province of Quebec selects its own skilled workers)
  • Meet the required levels in English and/or French
  • Have at least two years of full-time work experience (or an equal amount of part-time work experience) in a skilled trade within the five years before you apply
  • Meet the job requirements for the skilled trade as set out in the National Occupational Classification (NOC), except for needing a certificate of qualification
  • Have an offer of full-time employment for a total period of at least one year or a certificate of qualification in that skilled trade issued by a Canadian provincial or territorial authority

QUEBEC SKILLED WORKERS VISA

The province of Quebec has different immigration laws than the rest of Canada. Like the skilled worker visa for Canada, there is a points-based qualification system, but the values are calculated differently. Immigrants bringing a spouse and/or family will have to score more points than one immigrating alone. Points are awarded for factors believed to indicate that the immigrant can support themselves (and their family, if applicable), and their ability to adapt to life in Quebec.

As with any point system, it can be difficult to prove that you qualify. Our immigration experts can help you get the visa you deserve, quickly.
