Quebec Skilled Worker

Skilled Workers and professionals support the development of a strong and prosperous Canadian economy.  It allows Canada to pursue the maximum social, cultural and economic benefits of immigration.  Immigration Care offers free online assessment for the skilled worker visa. We do a preliminary assessment in order to judge whether the applicant is eligible for this visa or not or does he or she fulfill the work permit criteria and requirements or not.

The Canada Skilled Worker Visa point's selection system requires a pass mark of 67 out of 100 points and is assessed on six main factors; age, education, work experience, language ability and adaptability. The Regulations enumerates the factors and allocates the maximum number of units as follows:

The selection factors help determine which applicants are likely to become economically established upon immigration to Canada.

Each Canada Federal Skilled Worker (Professional) immigration selection factor is given a maximum number of points, and applicants must get at least 67 points in order to qualify for a Canada Immigration (Permanent Resident) Visa.

NEW ! According to new change in the Immigration Act that went into effect on November 28, 2008, a skilled worker is only eligible if he or she has at least one year of continuous full-time or equivalent paid work experience in past 10 years in one of the 38 qualifying occupations.

If you qualify and are eligible to apply as a skilled worker according to the above criteria, you, your spouse and dependent children will receive visas for Permanent Residence to Canada in 6 to 12 months irrespective of your country of residence or where your application is filed. The new immigration act will help accelerate the processing time of the skilled worker application filed now. Before this immigration act the processing times of application files before this Immigration Act was from 2-6 years. This is a great news for the people who want to apply for Canadian Immigration under Skilled Worker Category.

An applicant also need to show that they have enough money to support themselves as well as their dependents after arrival in Canada. Applicants and their dependent must also pass the medical examination test and get the security clearance as part of the Canadian immigration application process.
