of the most popular immigration programs in order to
immigrate to canada
but before we start please subscribe to our channel
click on the little bell right below so you can receive the weekly notifications
of new videos and please feel free to leave us a
comment the federal skilled worker program is one of the
most popular programs to immigrate to canada
the reason why is because it is a program that allows you
to apply for immigrating to canada even though you are back home
so even without ever setting food in canada
you can apply for this immigration stream you can qualify and have
good points and you can enter canada already
as a permanent resident of canada as a new immigrant
it is also one of the cheapest way and fastest way to immigrate to canada
there are six selection factors to consider in order to qualify for the
federal school worker program language skills education
work experience age arranged employment and adaptability but
before we can talk about the six selection factors it is very important
for you to know about express entry the federal secured
worker program is managed by express entry which is an
online system that manages some of the federal
problems you need to be eligible for one of the
federal immigration problems in order to create a profile into the express entry
and there are different points calculation considering the eligibility
to enter the pool and the profile points
that are going to be used to select you and
issue an invitation to apply the express entry will
issue your invitation to apply based on the comprehensive ranking system points
which is the points assigned to your profile
yet you can only create a profile into the express entry
if you are eligible for one of the main federal immigration programs
including the federalist good worker problem
to be eligible to create a profile into the express entry through the federal
skilled worker program you must have at least six to seven
points among the six selection factors that i
mentioned above i will explain one by one the most
important selection factor for the federal school worker program it is
proficiency level in english or french you can use both
or you can use one or another the minimum requirement for you to be
eligible to create a profile into the express entry system
is to have an upper intermediate level we measure this level of proficiency
through a unit called canadian language benchmark
level or clb the government of canada has a table
that determines what's the cob level for each score that receive in one of the
four abilities speaking writing listening
and reading the minimum score for you to qualify is to have
cob 7. if you choose to have ielts general training for example to prove
your proficiency level in english this means
having at least six in all abilities in terms of eligibility for the federal
school worker program you can add between 16 to 24 points
in regards to the proficiency level in the first
language and up to four points regarding the level of proficiency in
the second language in this case english or french we always choose the
language that you have the most proficient
level as your primary language and if you
want to add the second language will add the one that you have the least
proficient level as the second language when the
eligibility points are transferred to your crs points
meaning to your express entry profile you can
receive up to 160 points for language
proficiency if you are single or up to 150 points
for language in your profile if you are married
the second most important selection factor is
education for the eligibility requirement for federal skilled worker
you can earn up to 25 points for education
the minimum requirements to qualifying education is to have
at least high school and you want points if you have
one year diploma a little bit more points you have a two-year diploma
a little bit more if you have a three-year diploma or bachelor degree
then the next level is two diplomas on each
one must be of at least two years then masters
and then phd as the maximus coordinator can have
when these points for education is transferred to your
express entry profile you can earn up to 150 points for education if you
are single and up to 140 points for education
if you are married and your spouse can earn
the additional 10 points for education according to their education level
the third selection criteria that i would like to talk about
it is age this can be a little bit confusing because it's very different
when you consider what's the criteria for
eligibility and what are the points that you receive
in your express interprofile for your eligibility to the federal
skilled worker program you will earn maximum points which is 12
points if you are between 18 to 35 years old
and you lose one point for every birthday
until you reach 47 years old and then you
we're not going to have any points for this
criteria specifically which is age in your eligibility profile but please bear
in mind that even though you may not earn any points
for the age criteria you still may qualify for the
express entry pool when the age points are transferred to
your express entry profile the criteria is a little bit different
you will earn maximum points if you are between 20 and
30 years old to the maximum of 110 points if you are
single and 100 points if you are married
and after 30 years old you lose about 5 points for every birthday the next
criteria that we are going to talk about is work experience specifically work
experience outside canada you are required to
demonstrate that you have at least one year of continuous
full-time work experience in a skilled work occupation
within the last 10 years the maximum points for the eligibility criteria
for the federal skilled worker program it is 15 points
if you have only one year in the past 10 years
you are going to earn nine points if you have between two to three years of
experience then you are going to earn 11 points
four to five years 13 points and if you have six years or more you
receive the maximum points of 15 points for the eligibility criteria
when these points are translated to your profile it can be a little bit
confusing because you only receive points when assessing
the combination of your work experience plus education work experience plus
language skills or work experience outside canada
combined with work experience inside canada
and in this case you can receive the maximum of 100 points
into your express entry profile so these are
the four most important selection criteria that you can have
to be eligible for the federal skilled worker program
i'm still going to talk about the other two criteria that
it's important for you to know as well the next criteria that i'm going to talk
about it is arranged employment you can
receive 10 points if you have a job offer in
canada but please be aware that if you have an
employer in canada that wants to hire you
that's not enough to give you points the employer needs to go through
a sponsorship program in order for you to receive the points
this process can be either the lmia or the global talents trip and only
after your employer has gone through this process
and has proven to the canadian government that there is no canadian for
disposition and you are the most qualified cut date
for the position it is when you can count additional
points for this criteria you can also receive points for this
criteria in specific occasions where you qualify for
employer specific work permit and you came to canada and worked for at
least one year for that employer when the
points of your arranged employment is transferred to
the express entry profile you can receive points according to the
skill level type of your position you will receive 200 points if your
position is a skill level type 0 0 meaning your
job offer is at the senior managerial level
and you can receive 50 points if your position
is a skill level type 0 a or b if you don't know what's knock you can
watch our video where i explain everything
that i need to know to understand what that means we will
leave the the link for the video right here
next selection factor that we are going to talk about it is
adaptability which means everything that can help you to easily
integrate to canada will also count points to your eligibility the maximum
points for this selection factor is 10 points and you
receive 5 points if you have a job offer
if your spouse has also english proficiency level of
at least canadian language benchmark level 4
which pretty much means low intermediate so very easy to accomplish
you also receive a points for this criteria if you or your spouse have
already worked in canada for at least one year
if you or your spouse have studied in canada for at least two years
or if you have a relative in canada your relative
must be connected with you at the first degree level which means that needs to
be either your mother or father your
brother or sister your uncle or aunt your nephew
or niece your grandparents or your grandchildren
in terms of adaptability not everything that you earn for eligibility
will be transferred to your express entry points
you can earn points in your expressive profile
if you have siblings in canada and you earn 15 points for that
criteria and you can earn up to 20 points
according to the level of proficience that your spouse has in either
english or french so just a quick recap of
what you need to do to be eligible to apply for the federal school work
program through the express entry system between
the eligibility criteria you need to add at least 67 points
and you can have up to 12 points for age up to 25 points for education up to 28
points for languages up to 15 points for work experience up
to 10 points for arranged employment and up
to 10 points for adaptability and there is no difference
in terms of eligibility if you have more or less points if you have at least
67 points you are eligible to create a
profile into the express entry system through your eligibility under the
federal secured worker problem and i know that it's very confusing for
you to understand all these calculations and these numbers
