This program is run by the Canadian federal government for Skilled worker applicants who intend to reside in any province or territory in Canada, except Quebec. It is a primary economic immigration pathway and provides the opportunity to become permanent resident in Canada.

In order to be eligible to apply under the Federal Skilled Worker Program, potential candidates must meet the minimum requirements like work experience, language ability, education. The applicant need to obtain at least 67 points under the program's 100-point grid. On further the applicant should make an expression of interest (EOI)for immigrating to Canada by creating an online Express Entry profile. Based on the information provided in their profile, Federal Skilled Worker candidates obtain a score under Express Entry's Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) that determines their ranking in the pool of eligible candidates. However, only the highest-ranked candidates in the Express Entry pool are issued invitations to apply for Canadian permanent residence. Periodically, the Government of Canada issues Invitations To Apply (ITAs) to the highest-ranked candidates in the Express Entry pool and publishes the CRS cut-off score. CRS scores are not fixed and candidates can take necessary steps to improve their ranking while in the pool.
