The Six Selection Factors
Education
The Canadian Immigration Process includes an education requirement; this will help to form the basis on which a Federal Skilled Worker applicant will be accepted or refused.
As of May 2013, foreign educational credentials must be assessed by a designated Canadian organization; this will determine the Canadian equivalent of foreign credentials. If you have questions about the education requirement, our full-service Canadian immigration law firm can provide comprehensive assistance.
Language Skills
Citizenship and Immigration Canada require that the Federal Skilled Worker prove first language abilities in one of Canada`s official languages (English or French).
The maximum amount of points that can be awarded under the Language Skills Factor are 28; it is contingent on the applicant’s ability to speak English or French. Aptitude in a first language (English or French) can be awarded up to 24 points, and 4 points are awarded for a second language (English or French). Either one of Canada`s two official languages can be used by the Federal Skilled Workers Applicant as a first or second language.
Work Experience
Work Experience is an important factor awarded by Canadian Immigration Officers. It is another element that will be considered when determining whether a Skilled Worker applicant will be accepted or refused on their application for Canadian Immigration. While it is not determinative, if the Federal Skilled Worker applicant has zero experience there will likely be an automatic refusal.
