Individual Immigration Services - Permanent Residence Status

Skilled Workers

Canadian Skilled worker permanent residence applications are assessed based upon a series of factors which the Canadian Government utilizes in determining whether the applicant has a good likelihood of becoming economically established in Canada. This permanent residence criteria is studied by prospective permanent residence applicants in determining how to immigrate to Canada.

Skilled workers are expected to have the skills, education, work experience, language ability and other qualities needed to find a job in Canada. However, such attributes may not guarantee that an immigrant will obtain a job in Canada. A job offer in Canada (approved by Service Canada) will strengthen the application. To qualify under the immigration selection point system for the purposes of immigrating to Canada an applicant must attain at least 67 points.

In order to meet this skilled worker permanent residence criteria, you must demonstrate that you have at least one year of continuous work experience in a category of Skill Type O, or Skill Level A or B on the Canadian National Occupational Classification, within the last 10 years and demonstrate sufficient funds to establish themselves Canada. The skilled worker applicant must pass a Medical Exam before becoming a permanent resident of Canada.

Skilled workers may be required to attend a selection interview with an immigration officer in furtherance of their permanent residence. Such interviews are designed to ensure that the information and documentation in the application is accurate, and to obtain clarification of any questions on the skilled worker application or supporting documentation. Interview waivers are granted at the discretion of the visa officer.
