Foreign Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)
The FSWP is a key pathway under Canada’s Express Entry system, designed for skilled professionals with foreign work experience who want to gain permanent residency in Canada.
FSWP Eligibility
To qualify, you must:
- Have 1+ year of skilled work experience outside Canada
- Meet language requirements (IELTS/CELPIP/TEF)
- Hold a post-secondary credential verified by an ECA
- Score 67+ points on the FSW grid
- Be eligible for Express Entry
CRS Score Matters
FSWP candidates are ranked using the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) based on:
Age, education, language skills
Work experience (foreign or Canadian)
Job offer (optional)
Spouse’s qualifications (if applicable)
A strong CRS score increases your chance of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA).
ECA Requirement
An Educational Credential Assessment confirms your foreign education matches Canadian standards and is required before entering the Express Entry pool.
