2. Your application for Canadian Immigration as a Federal Skilled Worker is transferred and reviewed by a Canadian Immigration Visa Officer
The Federal Skilled Worker applicant must select the correct Canadian Immigration Visa Office for processing; as well, all required documents must be included in order for the Canadian immigration Visa Office to fully process you application.
The Canadian immigration officer will assess your documents in order to undertake a detailed analysis of your application. The assessment will consider the current selection criteria and passmark.
Citizenship and Immigration Canada make the decision your Federal Skilled Worker application based on the following criteria:
- The eligibility criteria for the program and whether you fit into it,
- The funds that you have to support yourself and your family upon your arrival in Canada,
- Your medical exam results; and
- Your police certificate.
3. Personal interview may be required or waived
Citizenship and Immigration Canada may require an interview in order to:
- Confirm the truthfulness of the application;
- Clarify any inconsistency in the application;
- Verify that the work experience and/or education are correct;
- Act consistent with security concerns for Canadians
4. Issuance of Medical instructions
Citizenship and Immigration Canada will forward medical instructions after an interview is deemed successful, or if the interview has been waived. The Federal Skilled Worker will be required to undergo a medical examination by an approved doctor.
5. Request for your passport and right of Permanent Resident fee
Citizenship and Immigration Canada will then request a payment for your Right of Permanent Resident Fee (RPRF) as well as your passport after the medical results have been received. The Federal Skilled Worker applicant from a Visitor Visa-Exempt country no longer has to submit a passport.
