FEDERAL SKILLED WORKER VISA BASIC REQUIREMENTS

Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) has set specific basic requirements that all applicants must meet in order to apply for a Federal Skilled Worker visa.

To qualify for skilled migration, applicants must be able to satisfy the basic visa requirements related to an applicant's health and character. In addition, to qualify for a Federal Skilled Worker visa, applicants must meet at least one of the following requirements:

    * Possess an offer of arranged employment in Canada; OR
    * Be living legally in Canada as a foreign worker or student; OR
    * Have at least 1 year's work experience in a designated high-demand occupation.

In addition to meeting the basic visa requirements, applicants must also pass a points-based assessment. Points can be claimed in areas related to an applicant's age, English or French language ability, work experience, qualifications and ability to adapt to life in Canada. The current pass mark for the Federal Skilled Worker visa is 67 points.
