PERMANENT RESIDENT VISAS - SKILLED WORKER

Skilled Worker Category
Skilled and trades workers with the requisite qualifications (knowledge and experience) are highly valued and needed in Canada's labour market.

Canada uses a point system to assess all Independent/Skilled Worker applicants. To be eligible for permanent residence in Canada, you must obtain at least 67 points in the point assessment.

Applicants are selected based on a point system which encompasses: education, knowledge of English and/or French, work experience, age and adaptability.

The most important point assessment criteria are related to occupation - that is, what you intend to do for a living in Canada and why you are qualified to do it. Immigration officials will look at your education and training, current and past employment duties, and skills and experience to assess whether you are qualified for Canadian immigration. You will earn significantly more points if you have "arranged employment" in Canada. "Arranged employment" means a job offer in Canada that has been approved by SERVICE CANADA.
