Federal Skilled Trades Program. For skilled workers who are qualified in a skilled trade.Key terms every applicant must knowBefore comparing programmes, the Canadian government says applicants should be familiar with three core concepts that shape eligibility decisions.The first is the Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB), which is the national standard used to measure the English language ability of immigrants. The second is the National Occupation Classification (NOC), a comprehensive list covering all occupations in the Canadian labour market. The third is the Training, Education, Experience and Responsibilities (TEER) category system, which is embedded within the NOC and classifies occupations into six groups based on the level of education and training each one requires.Understanding these terms is essential because each of the three programmes uses them to define who qualifies and at what level.
For instance, the type of work experience accepted, the language score required, and the TEER category of a worker’s occupation can all determine which programme a candidate is eligible to apply under.Prospective applicants can review the full eligibility criteria for all three programmes on the IRCC’s official Express Entry page.In a related story, Legit.ng reported that Canada had outlined the professions it is looking to fill via its Express Entry program.Canada invites 250 senior managers for permanent residence Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Canada had invited 250 senior managers to apply for its permanent residence.The latest Express Entry selection by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) targeted candidates in senior management occupations who already have Canadian work experience.
