Canada is interested in attracting immigrants with skills and expertise that allow them to contribute to
our economic growth and development.
Skilled Worker Class applicants will be assessed through a points-based system by Immigration officials as to whether there is a strong likelihood that he or she would successfully establish themselves in Canada. The assessment assigns a score out of 100 in six categories including education level, language skills, and work experience. To qualify for the Skilled worker category, an applicant must demonstrate: 1. A Minimum total of 67 points out of 100 on their assessment
The assessment categories include Education, Language skills, Experience, Age, Arranged Employment and Adaptability.
You can figure out your current level of points by viewing or printing out
the complete assessment table

2. At least one year of continuous full-time paid experience
(or the equivalent in part-time continuous experience) within the past 10 years in a qualifying occupation. Skilled Worker Class applicants must also possess experience in at least one qualifying occupation. Only
occupations that fall under the following categories in the National Occupational Classification (NOC) are considered relevant

Applicants who have successfully met the criteria in steps 1 and 2 must then be able to demonstrate that they have sufficient
funding to support themselves and any dependents for six months after arriving in Canada. The amount of money required is
determined by the number of members in your family. Note that you do NOT have to show proof of these funds if you have arranged
for employment within Canada. Please see the following

4. Medical and Security Clearances
All applicants for immigration, and their dependent family members, must undergo a medical examination to ensure
