How long does it take to process FSW Canada?
by Nationwide Visas Canada Immigration ServicesThe Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) is used to rank
applicants for the Federal Skilled Worker program, which is
administered through the Express Entry system. Federal Skilled Workers are not
required to have Canadian work experience in order to be considered for the
Canada Express Entry pool, in contrast to candidates for the Canadian
Experience Class (CEC). Instead, applicants must obtain a minimum score based
on qualifications like education, work experience, and language proficiency.
Those applicants who received the highest CRS scores will be invited to apply
for Canadian permanent residence after being placed in the pool.
For a full year, a Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) Express
Entry profile will be valid in the candidate pool. You will have 60 days to
submit a complete application and supporting paperwork to the Government of
Canada if you get an Invitation to Apply (ITA) while still in the pool of
candidates. Express Entry applications typically take six months to process
from the time they are received by Canadian officials until a permanent
residency visa is issued.
Your processing time may also be impacted by the following
other factors:
·
The degree to which your application is complex or
comprehensive
·
The officer's ability to quickly confirm the details you
gave in your application
· Adding a second member of your family to your application
What is the eligibility to apply for Federal Skilled Workers
Program?
In order to qualify for the FSWP, a candidate must meet certain minimum requirements regarding years of experience, level of education, age, and English or French language proficiency:
o Experience at Work:- A minimum of 12 months of uninterrupted, full-time, competent job experience gained within the last 10 years (or an equal amount in part-time experience). Work experience that is categorised as NOC Skill Level 0, A, or B is referred to as skilled work experience.
o language ability:- Achieve a Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) level of at least 7 in either English or French.
o Education:- A minimum of a high school graduation from Canada or its equivalent elsewhere.
o Financial Assistance:- sufficient money to sustain themselves, any surviving spouse, and/or any children throughout their stay in Canada.
If a candidate satisfies the aforementioned criteria, they
must also show that they receive at least 67 out of a possible 100 points on
the FSW eligibility points grid. Candidates can submit an Express Entry profile
for the Federal Skilled Worker program if they satisfy these qualifications.
Candidates should be aware that they must fulfil Canada's fundamental standards
for admissibility. A person may not be allowed into Canada if they have certain
criminal convictions or health issues.
You must have at least 67 eligibility points in order to submit a profile as a Federal Skilled Worker (FSW). The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) ranks candidates when they submit an Express Entry profile to the pool of applicants, and then assigns each candidate a CRS score. All applicants to the Express Entry pool receive a CRS score, but only FSW applicants are required to achieve the required FSW score.
What is the process to apply?
Express Entry profiles must be submitted to Immigration,
Refugees and Citizenship Canada by interested parties (IRCC). Express Entry
profiles are not a guarantee that applicants will be granted Canadian permanent
residency. A candidate will only receive a CRS score and be taken into account
for next Express Entry drawings for Invitations to Apply (ITAs) for permanent
residence after submitting an Express Entry profile. The following papers are
required by FSW candidates when submitting their Express Entry profiles:
·
Assessment of Educational Credentials (ECA)
An FSW candidate must provide a valid ECA report attesting
to the value of their international education in relation to Canadian norms in
order to claim points for education. Canada has five organisations that can
publish ECA reports. For qualifications earned from a Canadian educational
institution, this is not necessary.
·
Results of a language proficiency test
All applicants for the Express Entry programs are required
to provide the results of a valid language test performed within the last two
years. The IELTS test and the CELPIP test are recognised as valid English
proficiency assessments (only available in Canada). The Test d'Évaluation de
Français (TEF) is the recognised exam for French.
·
Identification Paperwork
Information from identity documents must be provided by candidates. The candidate and all accompanying family members should ideally have current passports.
A candidate will proceed to the second stage of the
application procedure if they are granted an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for
Canadian permanent residency. The applicant will have 60 days in this second
stage to prepare and submit an electronic Application for Permanent Residence
(eAPR). Additional documentation is needed for this application.
