Federal Skilled Worker Program

The Canada Federal Skilled Worker Program aims to attract immigrants that will be able to join the workforce and contribute to Canada’s economy. It is one of three federal programs managed through Express Entry, the Canada online application system for skilled workers. Aside from the Federal Skilled Worker Program, we also assist with the Canadian Experience Class. Contact us to find out more.
