(Express Entry Visa)

The Federal Skilled Worker program is a tool of Canada’s Express Entry system made to bring talented workers from all around the world to immigrate to Canada. Under this platform, candidates who have the working skills, education, working experience, and well in English and/or French can easily apply for permanent residency in Canada. To select for the FSW program, candidates must cross the minimum eligibility criteria, including having one year of work experience in a full-time job or equivalent part-time work experience in a skilled occupation listed in Canada’s National Occupational Classification (NOC) system.

Here's an overview of the Federal Skilled Worker Program:

To qualify for the Federal Skilled Worker Program candidates must cross some of the important qualifications, including:

  1. Work Experience: Having at least one year of continuous full-time experience or part-time work experience in a skilled occupation

  2. Full-time employment: Working at least thirty hours a week at a single job for a continuous twelve-month period, for a total of one year of full-time experience—roughly 1,560 hours.

  1. Part-time employment: Accumulating an equivalent amount of work experience through part-time employment

  1.  Combined employment: Working full-time hours across multiple jobs to reach the required 1-year full-time experience.

  2. Language Knowledge: Having the minimum language knowledge in English or French and getting minimum scores in language tests such as IELTS and TEF

  3.  Create an Express Entry Profile: Qualified candidates must have an online express entry profile

  4. Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS): Candidates enter the Express Entry Pool they ranked based on the Comprehensive Ranking System, which includes factors such as age, education, work experience, and adaptability.

  5. Invitations to Apply (ITA): The applicants with the highest CRS scores get Invitations to Apply (ITA) for permanent residency after regular plans from the Express Entry pool.

  6. Application for Permanent Residence: Once candidates get ITA, they must submit a complete application and details for permanent residence to IRCC within the given timeline.

  7. Decision on Permanent Residence: IRCC evaluates the application and then decides whether to permit permanent residence to the candidate. If the candidate’s application is approved they can immigrate to Canada with their family as Permanent Residents.

The Federal Skilled Worker Program is a famous gateway for talented workers to get permanent residency in Canada. It is very important for candidates to carefully check the eligibility criteria and ensure they are eligible for the requirements before applying.

Proof of Funds for skilled Immigrants.

For skilled candidates applying for immigration to Canada, fund proof is commonly required as part of the application process, especially for programs like the Federal Skilled Worker Program under the Express Entry System. Let’s know about how proof of funds works:

  1. Purpose: The main purpose of proof of funds is to clarify that the candidate has enough financial funds to support them and their family during the beginning stages in Canada.
  2. Amount: The amount of funds depends on how many members are in the family and is updated periodically by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
  3. Acceptable Forms: Bank accounts, savings or investment account statements, and other financial papers proving the existence of funds are some examples of the several ways proof of funds can be shown.
  4. Validity Period: The applicant’s proof of funds must show that they have had the necessary quantity of money on hand for at least three months before applying. The money has to be accessible until it is needed after it gets to Canada.
  5. Exemptions: Some candidates might not need to provide proof of cash; these include individuals who have a valid employment offer from a Canadian company or who can work in Canada and have enough money to support their families and themselves.
  6. Spousal Support: If the applicant is accompanied by a spouse or partner, they must need to give additional fund proof to cover their expenses in Canada.

It’s essential for applicants to carefully review the specific requirements and guidelines provided by IRCC and ensure compliance with the proof of funds requirement to avoid delays or refusal of their immigration application.
