Federal Skilled Worker – Express Entry

Immigrating to Canada is easy for applicants, but you must have the right skills, qualification, and experience. But you must know the right visa option and the process that gets you through. The Express Entry system has opened new pathways for permanent residency applications. The Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) program is among the three programs it offers. While it opens up an opportunity, there is much you need to know before applying for the FSW program. You must meet requirements regarding age, experience, level of education, and English or French language proficiency. Even as getting through isn’t a big challenge, you can go wrong with the application if you do not understand and follow these requirements. There are funding issues, which are hard to comprehend on your own. Getting professional help is the best way to handle things.
