Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)

The Federal Skilled Trades Class is a Canadian permanent residence pathway for foreign applicants having experience in a skilled trade. Just like, Canadian Experience Class and Federal Skilled Worker Class, foreign nationals looking to immigrate under this program must first make an express of interest through the Express Entry selection system. The Federal Skilled Trades Program allows applicants with a valid job offer or a certificate of qualification to obtain permanent residence in any province across Canada except Quebec.

Minimum Requirements

Have valid job offers of continuous, paid, full-time employment (at least 30 hours a week) from up to two employers in Canada for at least one year or a certificate of qualification from a provincial or territorial body;
Provide proof of basic language proficiency from a designated language testing organization, demonstrating that the applicant meets the minimum threshold set by the Minister — Canadian Level Benchmark (CLB) 5 for speaking and listening, CLB 4 for reading and writing;
Have obtained 2 years of full-time work experience (or an equal amount of part-time work) in the skilled trade in the five years before applying; and
Be able to demonstrate the skills and experience and that they have performed the essential duties of the occupation.

Eligible Occupations

Clients must score 67 points or higher to qualify for the Federal Skilled Worker Program. The six selection factors are listed below:

Major Group 72 : industrial, electrical and construction trades,
Major Group 73 : maintenance and equipment operation trades,
Major Group 82 : supervisors and technical jobs in natural resources, agriculture and related production,
Major Group 92 : processing, manufacturing and utilities supervisors and central control operators,
Minor Group 632 : chefs and cooks, and
Minor Group 633 : butchers and bakers.

A certificate of qualification proves that a foreign national is qualified to work in a skilled trade occupation in Canada. With a certificate of qualification, applicants prove they have passed a certification exam or met all the requirements to practice their trade in a specific province or territory.
