A high skills profession/related profession helps one secure a Skilled Work Program Visa for aspiring immigrants. For categories like skilled professionals, investors, dependent families, etc. they may apply under this category once eligible under the Canada Express Entry System.

The FSTP is managed by the Express Entry Canada online to give skilled workers of different backgrounds the chance to get a permanent residency abroad. The Canadian government publishes a list of skilled trades in accordance with the National Occupation List (NOC). The NOC has five skill levels commencing from skill 0 to skill A, skill B, skill C and skill D. Our consultants help you identify which level you fall in to and help you assess if your work experience meets the requirement set by the NOC. These are trades that are in shortage in the country. International, as well as temporary profiles, can submit their profiles to see if they get picked. The FSTP program gives you a chance at a quick shot for permanent residency and eventually, citizenship.

To fulfil the FSTP criteria, an applicant must meet certain conditions:

The FSTP does not have any strict educational requirements; however, having some level of qualifying education helps give your profile an edge over others. To submit your application, we require some necessary documents like a valid passport and travel document along with your language test results, education credential assessment report and a written job offer from an employer in Canada. Once you get invited to apply for a PR, you require additional documents including police certificates which determine that you possess a clean criminal record, medical exams to determine your good health and proof that you have sufficient funds to cover your travel and first few months in Canada.
