FSW and FST fall under the same umbrella of CRS points ranking so I don't see a difference unless a program-specific draw takes place (Which we can never predict, just like point cutoffs)

FST requires lower language score to get into the pool, but requires certification and registration done

FSW have more chances than FSTP

although FSTP are required lower points in IELTS than FSW but they are required to pass a certification exam by being physically in Canada . BTW I traveled three times to pass the exam and get certificate of qualification while FSW could entered the pool without traveling or even pass any certification exam.

Isn't it like WES credenial assessment like we did for FSW?
