Skilled Workers
There are three main categories of immigration for skilled workers in Canada:
To be eligible as a skilled worker, an individual must also either have an
arranged employment or a year of work experience within one of 29
eligible occupations that are in high demand in Canada.
If you are able to obtain a job offer from a Canadian
employer in advance, there is a possibility that your application for permanent
residence could be processed on an expedited basis under a
Provincial Nominee Program.
In some cases, individuals may also be able to immigrate to Canada under a
provincial nominee program without having to meet the selection criteria
under the federal program.

If you are either:
- a temporary foreign worker with at least two years of full-time (or equivalent) skilled work experience in Canada, or
- a foreign graduate from a Canadian post-secondary institution with at least one year of full-time (or equivalent) skilled work experience in Canada
you may be eligible to apply for permanent residence under the Canadian Experience Category. Applicants under this category are not assessed under the points system applicable to Federal Skilled Workers.
