FSWP (ENTRY EXPRESS)

Express Entry: Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) 

Introduction :

Canada’s Express Entry system is the main pathway for skilled workers to obtain Canadian permanent residence. One of the three programs managed through Express Entry is the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) — aimed at foreign skilled workers with foreign (or Canadian) work experience who want to settle in Canada permanently. 

1) Who should consider FSWP?

FSWP is intended for skilled workers who meet the program’s minimum requirements and score at least 67 points on the FSWP selection factors. If you meet those requirements you may Apply and enter the pool of candidates.

 

2) Minimum eligibility (high level)

To be eligible for FSWP you must, at minimum:

• Have at least one year continuous paid full-time (or equivalent part-time) skilled work experience in the last 10 years.

• Meet the minimum language ability in English and/or French (you must test with an worldwide approved test).

• Have a Canadian educational credential or an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) for your foreign credential.

• Provide police certificates and pass medical and security checks after getting the Permanent Residency Invitation. 

 

3) The 67-point FSWP selection factors (what they test)

• Language ability (English/French): up to 28 points

• Education: up to 25 points

• Work experience: up to 15 points

• Age: up to 12 points

• Adaptability (spouse’s education/previous study/work in Canada, arranged employment, relatives in Canada, etc.): up to 10 points

(These point ranges come directly from IRCC’s FSWP selection grid)

 

4) Express Entry vs FSWP: how they fit together

• FSWP is a program — it defines the minimum eligibility (including the 67-point threshold) to be considered for permanent residence under that stream.

• Express Entry is the online system used to manage applications for FSWP, Canadian Experience Class (CEC), and Federal Skilled Trades (FST). After you confirm you meet FSWP minimums you create an Express Entry profile and enter the Express Entry pool. 

While FSWP gives you eligibility to enter the pool, your success in obtaining an Invitation to Apply (ITA) depends on your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score relative to other candidates in the pool. The CRS ranks candidates using human capital factors (education, language, work experience), transferability factors, and any additional points. 

 

•If accepted you'll Get an Invitation to Apply (ITA) through a draw — once invited, you have 60 days to submit a complete PERMANENT RESIDENCY application And you'll be granted the permanent residency.
