Skilled Worker Class Visas

This class is for people with the skills to work in Canada. It is assessed on a points system. Points awarded are in six categories:

1. Education
2. Language skills (in English/French)
3. Experience
4. Age
5. Employment in Canada
6. Adaptability

Currently the pass mark is 67 points. The first step may be for you to assess your points using the CIC’s online tool.

In addition to the points requirement there is a financial requirement. You will need to have adequate funds to support your family. See the CIC site for details. The financial requirement is waived if you have arranged employment in Canada.
