Eligibility Requirements

To qualify for the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), individuals must meet the following criteria:

1. Possess valid job offers for continuous, paid, full-time employment (minimum of 30 hours per week) from up to two employers in Canada, spanning at least one year. Alternatively, applicants can hold a certificate of qualification* issued by a provincial or territorial authority.
2. Present evidence of fundamental language proficiency from a designated language testing organization, verifying that the applicant meets the minimum standards established by IRCC — Canadian Level Benchmark (CLB) 5 for speaking and listening, and CLB 4 for reading and writing.
3. Accumulate two years of full-time work experience (or an equivalent amount of part-time work) in a skilled trade within the five years preceding the application.
4. Demonstrate the requisite skills and experience, proving the successful performance of essential duties associated with the chosen occupation.

*A certificate of qualification serves as proof that a foreign national is competent to work in a skilled trade occupation within Canada. It attests that applicants have either passed a certification examination or satisfied all prerequisites to practice their trade within a specific province or territory.

The Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) accepts skilled work experience that falls under the following categories of the National Occupational Classification (NOC):

• Major Group 72: Industrial, electrical, and construction trades,
• Major Group 73: Maintenance and equipment operation trades,
• Major Group 82: Supervisors and technical positions in natural resources, agriculture, and related production,
