Federal Skilled Trades Program
Discover how Bonnyville Immigration Services Inc. can pave your path to Canada through the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), offering specialized immigration pathways for skilled trades workers. Under the expert guidance of RCIC Sujit Kumar Saha, our dedicated team ensures a seamless immigration process tailored to your needs.
Benefits of the FSTP:
- Expedited Permanent Residence:
Under Express Entry, successful FSTP candidates can typically obtain permanent residence within six months, providing a swift and efficient pathway to residency.
- Enhanced Opportunity for Success:
FSTP candidates may have lower Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) scores compared to other candidates, offering increased chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence. Provincial nominations, worth an additional 600 CRS points, significantly enhance the likelihood of success.
- Leveraging Canadian Experience:
Candidates with Canadian work experience receive more CRS points, reflecting the advantage of local expertise in the Canadian labour market. Research underscores the value of Canadian experience in facilitating successful permanent residence applications.
How It Works:
- Eligibility Check: Determine your eligibility for the FSTP or other Express Entry programs.
- Language Proficiency: Complete language tests recognized by IRCC and obtain an Educational Credential Assessment if applicable.
- Express Entry Profile: Submit your profile on IRCC’s website, showcasing your qualifications and skills.
- Express Entry Draws: Monitor IRCC’s bi-weekly draws to receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence.
- Permanent Residence Application: Submit your completed application within the specified deadline and await processing by IRCC.
Eligibility Criteria:
- Valid job offers or a certificate of qualification from a provincial or territorial body.
- Proof of language proficiency meeting IRCC’s requirements (Canadian Level Benchmark).
- Two years of full-time work experience in a skilled trade within the past five years.
- Demonstration of skills and experience aligned with the requirements of the occupation.
Supported Skilled Trades:
Skilled work experience eligible for the FSTP includes various trades categorized under the National Occupational Classification (NOC), ensuring diverse opportunities for skilled trades professionals.
Plan Your Canadian Journey:
Candidates must intend to reside outside Quebec, as the province has its own skilled worker selection process. For Quebec-specific immigration information, visit the Quebec Skilled Worker Program page.
