FEDERAKL SKILLED WORKER AND FEDERAL SKILLED TRADE PROGRAMS

[Nik_0309]

Hello,

I am a B.E Mechanical engineer with more than 5 years of experience in CNC machining industry in INDIA. I want to immigrate to Canada.
Should i apply for FEDERAL SKILLED WORKER (FSW) program in May or should i apply for FEDERAL SKILLED TRADE PROGRAM (FSTP) ?
Which one is most suitable for me ?

FSTC seems much better program to me because most of requirements are far easier then for FSW. But, you must have a job offer or canadian licence to apply for this one. If you don't have it (and I guess you don't), the only other option is FSW.

Thanks for the reply.

I also thought for the same.

But by opting with FSW program, is it compulsory to have an arranged employment in CANADA ?

If it is not, then i guess i can meet up with requirement of 67 points based on my education , workexperience and IELTS Scores.

Please comment.

No, you don't need to have an arranged employmet, that is just one of the things on which you may score points. Good thing is if you can have the pass mark already.
Good luck!

Thanks.

1 more point regarding my education.

I have done Bachelor's of Engineering in Mechanical which is a 4 year full time program post secondary education.

What will be its equivalency as per CANADIAN educational credentials ?

How much points i can earn for the same ?

Can anyone guide me on points for a B.E Mechanical Engineer as per FSW scheme ??

Hi;

Under the old system A university degree of two years or more at the Bachelor's level, AND at least 14 years of full-time or full-time equivalent study would have earned you 20points. All you would have needed to send would ahve been you transcript and copies of degree certificate.In the new system coming into effect in May, you will need to send all these documents to an ECA, they will evaluate and give you the Canadian equivalent and it is based on that that you will get the points for your degree Thus best thing is to wait till ECA are announced sometimes in April, hopefully the guide for the new FSTC will be available on CIC website by then and all grey areas will be clearly understood.

Good luck!

Until the new NOC list comes out you would require a job offer to apply for FSW and the same will apply if your NOC is not on that list.

You should Check for Federal Skilled Trade program where you will just need an offer letter to migrate. Rest of the points are easy for it if you have sufficient money to spend.
