Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP):
The Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) is a Canadian immigration program that allows skilled workers to apply for permanent residency in Canada. It is a points-based system that evaluates candidates on factors like education, work experience, age, language proficiency (English or French), and adaptability, requiring a minimum of 67 points to qualify.
Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP):
The Federal Skilled Trades Program is a Canadian Immigration Program that allows skilled workers to become permanent residents based on being qualified in a skilled trade.
Canadian Experience Class (CEC):
Canadian Experience Class allows the workers with Canadian Work Experience to become Permanent Residents.
Provincial Nominee Program (PNP):
Provincial Nominee Program allows provinces and territories to nominate skilled workers based on their local labor market needs for permanent residency. Each province has multiple PNP streams with specific criteria for in-demand skills, work experience and education.
Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP):
The Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) is a permanent, employer-driven pathway for skilled foreign workers and international graduates to become permanent residents in Canada’s four Atlantic Provinces: New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador.
