Certain available information suggests that the focus of the revamped and overhauled Canada Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) is on expert engineers from abroad even as mechanical engineers, civil engineers, & engineering managers are just some of the professionals who will be preferred by Citizenship & Immigration Canada (CIC) to the make the grade, via the revamped & improved program.

The Skilled Occupation List (SOL) brought out by Immigration Canada in this connection shows 24 in-demand vocations which are entitled for the scheme even while four bodies have been duly chosen to offer the now-required, what is known as independent third party evaluations of the overseas educational credentials for those aspirants who pursued studies outside the nation’s territorial jurisdictions.

Apparently, these evaluations–which are mandatory to be duly concluded, prior to a submission is presented–are suitably targeted at assisting the new entrants, via the FSWP, to become a part of the national labour force comparatively more rapidly when they turn-up on the country’s shores.

As per as the incumbent immigration minister, the visa-submissions filed for the scheme will be suitably processed in nearly 12 months, or 1 year. He added that it would be difficult for the administration to remain aggressive, and draw trained aspirants the Maple Leaf Country requires, in a situation wherein it permits backlogs & wait times to head north once more.

For those who came in late, there is an upper limit of 5,000 fresh visa-submissions for all entitled petitions, even as this covers a sub-upper limit of 300 fresh submissions for every qualified line-of-work. The candidates ought to prove that they fulfill the bare minimum threshold of the national Language Benchmark 7.
