Federal Skilled Worker Program (Express Entry)
The Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) is one of the three economic immigration programs managed under the Express Entry system in Canada. The other two programs are the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) and the Canadian Experience Class (CEC). Express Entry is an online system designed to facilitate the immigration of skilled workers to Canada.
Work Experience:
You must have at least one year of continuous full-time (or an equivalent amount in part-time) skilled work experience in the past ten years. The work experience must be in a National Occupational Classification (NOC) skill level 0, A, or B occupation.

Application for Permanent Residence and Decision
After receiving an ITA, you will need to submit a comprehensive application for permanent residence, including supporting documents and fees. The IRCC will then process your application, which may take several months. If your application is approved, you will receive a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR).
Once you obtain your COPR, you can travel to Canada and become a permanent resident.
It’s essential to stay informed about the latest updates and changes to the Express Entry system and program requirements by regularly checking the official Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) website.
