Federal Skilled Workers Program

Express Entry

The Federal Skilled Workers Program (FWSP) is for skilled workers with foreign work experience who want to become permanent residents.

How the program works?

The Federal Skilled Workers Program (FWSP) allows individuals with foreign work experience to apply for permanent residence in Canada, if they obtain sufficient points under the point score system.
​​​​​​​
This is 1 of the 3 federal programs managed through Express Entry , an online application system that uses a points-based method to rank candidates. Applicants with the highest scores will receive an invitation to apply for Canadian permanent residence.

To be eligible for the FSWP program, a candidate’s skilled work experience must be:

  • In the same type of job as the job you want to use for your immigration application
  • within the last 10 years
  • at least 12 months of continuous work
  • paid work (volunteer work or unpaid internships don’t count)

How are the applications assessed?

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) uses a 100-point grid to assess eligibility for the program. You earn points for how well you do in each of the following selection factors:

  • age (12 points)
  • education (25 points)
  • work experience (15 points)
  • whether you have a valid job offer (10 points)
  • English and/or French language skills (28 points)
  • adaptability or how well you’re likely to settle here (10 points)
    ​​​

What is Express Entry?

The Express Entry pool manages permanent residence applications for immigrants who can fill jobs where there is a lack of available skilled Canadian workers.
​​​​​​​
Applicants are ranked in the Express Entry pool using a points-based system. The government will invite people to apply for permanent residence based on your score and rank in the Express Entry pool. You cannot apply for the program directly.

The following federal economic immigration programs use the Express Entry system:

  • Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)
  • The Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)​​​​​​​
  • The Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
