skilled trades

[sanv]

hi, has anyone applied under the skilled trades category i need some info?

 

[amrkamal86]

Everyone here has... What do you need?

I think Skilled trade is different than skilled workers

If it was different, then there would be more results when using the search function.. not a single entry besides that one. Skilled trade, skilled worker, two words same meaning.

I think this is the program that sanv is referring to (it is not the same as the Federal Skilled Worker Program):

Federal Skilled Trades Program

No - they don't have the same meaning. They are two completely different immigration programs with different requirements.

You can also take a look at the NEW FSW Points Criteria Announced & NEW Federal Skilled Trades Class (FSTC) thread for other members who are discussing the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTC) program. You will most likely find persons in that thread who have applied under the FSTC category.

I dont know of anyone that has because you require a Trade Certificate to do so. And to get a Trade Certificate you would have had to have been working in Canada to apply for it.

This may not be a realistic plan. It may be difficult to get a study permit approved for the trade diploma if it's different from your past education and work experience. Also, being certified in a trade in Canada generally requires you to complete an apprenticeship program. In many provinces, apprenticeships are only open to Canadian citizens and permanent residents.

Okay. I just thought if somebody finishes masters in canada, then he/she would be able to also opt for a diploma trades in the additional year. If somebody is already inside canada, then would it still be difficult to get the second year education in trades?

If the person finishes their Master's in Canada, in that case they can certainly opt to do a diploma in trades. However there may be no point in doing that. Certification may not be possible for additional points due to apprenticeship restrictions. I would recommend you research that in detail.

The issue is that most are PR or citizens because licensing takes years. For example, an electrician does a college program and then must complete 9,000 hours of apprenticeship (5 years).
