Expert PR & Immigration Consultant
In 2013, Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) established the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) to provide skilled trades workers with a dedicated immigration pathway.
The Federal Skilled Trade Program is one of three federal economic programs which is managed by the Express Entry system of the Government of Canada. Express Entry is the primary method by which Canada welcomes economically qualified workers to immigrate to the country. Canada aims to welcome over 400,000 new immigrants per year under its Immigration Levels Plan, with an average of 110,000 annual immigration spots reserved for Express Entry.
The Federal Skilled Trade Program is part of a major federal and provincial government effort to welcome more skilled trades workers to Canada to address labour shortages in trades occupations. Because of its ageing population and low birth rate, Canada is increasingly reliant on immigration to support its labour force and economic growth.
The candidate for the Federal skilled trade program might be having low CRS score as compared to other candidates in the Express Entry pool because they are not required to prove their level of education. IRCC, however, occasionally holds program-specific Express Entry draws inviting only FSTP candidates. If you enter your profile in Express Entry it increases your chances of getting a permanent residence as you obtain a provincial nomination which will guarantee your success rate to obtain permanent residence through Express Entry. A Provincial Nomination is worth an additional 600 CRS points which means that you are very likely to receive the invitation to apply for permanent residence in Express Entry.
