Canadian Immigration Journey with the Federal Skilled Trades Program

PL Immigration is at the forefront of facilitating skilled trades workers’ entry into Canada with the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), initiated in 2013. This program serves as a specialized immigration route, reflecting the Canadian government’s commitment to bolster the economy with skilled workers.

Managed alongside two other economic programs within the robust Express Entry system, the FSTP aligns with Canada’s strategic economic interests. Aiming to sustain and grow its workforce amidst demographic challenges, the nation has set targets to welcome upwards of 400,000 new residents each year, with a significant portion coming through the Express Entry mechanism.

As a trades professional, the FSTP represents just one avenue for potential migration to Canada—alternatives include other federal programs, the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), and pathways specific to Quebec.

Advantages of the Federal Skilled Trades Program

The Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) addresses the critical demand for skilled tradespersons as Canada combats labor shortages within various trades amid an aging populace and declining birth rates. Opting for immigration via the FSTP through PL Immigration confers distinct advantages, including expeditious processing times for permanent residency, often within a span of six months.

Trade professionals applying through the FSTP can benefit from participating in the Express Entry pool even with lower Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) scores, buoyed by potential program-specific draws that exclusively tap FSTP candidates. Securing a provincial nomination could catapult your CRS score, significantly enhancing the likelihood of an invitation to apply for permanent residence.

Furthermore, possessing Canadian work experience under your belt situates you favorably in the job market and enhances your CRS points. Academic and governmental research corroborates the value of Canadian work history in securing permanent residency, which, alongside education acquired in Canada, equips applicants with a formidable competitive edge.

The FSTP Immigration Pathway Explained

PL Immigration harnesses the Express Entry system to handle FSTP applications, streamlining the process for skilled workers to establish their credentials through a simple series of steps.

Step 1: Verify eligibility under the FSTP criteria. PL Immigration provides an accessible, complimentary eligibility assessment tool.

Step 2: Undertake an official English or French language assessment as recognized by IRCC and, if relevant, seek an Educational Credential Assessment for foreign education, thereby bolstering your CRS score. Explore more on PL Immigration's Express Entry information hub.

Step 3: Craft your Express Entry profile on IRCC's online platform at no cost.

Step 4: Monitor the Express Entry draws, occurring bi-weekly, to ascertain if you've obtained an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residency.

Step 5: Upon securing an ITA, promptly submit your thorough permanent residency application within the specified timeframe. PL Immigration and IRCC strive to process applications within six months, adhering to standard processing times.

Choosing PL Immigration as your partner to navigate the Federal Skilled Trades Program propels you towards successful integration into Canada’s thriving economic fabric. Offering guidance and a streamlined pathway for trades professionals, PL Immigration is your ally in realizing your Canadian dream through the FSTP.

*A qualification certificate shows that an international candidate is qualified to work in a skilled trade in Canada.

Applicants considering the FSTP option should note that they must plan to settle outside of Quebec, as this province manages its own skilled worker immigration program. If seeking migration to Quebec, individuals should refer to the Quebec Skilled Worker Program for detailed information on their specialized immigration protocol.

Eligibility for the FSTP also opens potential eligibility for categorical Express Entry draws. Compliance with eligibility standards for these draws may enhance the prospect of receiving an invitation for permanent residency in Canada.

For professional assistance in navigating the complexities of Canadian immigration through the Federal Skilled Trades Program, PL Immigration provides expert guidance. Our aim is to facilitate a smooth transition to your new life in Canada.
