Hello Sarpreet,

Federal Skilled Trade Program (FSTP) is very complex. I have wasted 2 years behind. As per your qualification & experience you are eligible for it but to put up your immigration file, you have to fulfil either of following mentioned conditions.

1) You have to get Job Offer Letter from Canadian Employer along with LMIA which is issued by Government Body HRSDC. OR

2) You have to get Certificate of Qualification. For that You have to go to Canada to appear in exams. The classes are held for it as per your trade and you have to pay fees for it.

So bottomline is you have to get either of above mentioned document. So if you are really keen for FSTP then be prepared to go to Canada to appear in Certificate of Qualification in Welder Trade because getting job offer letter along with LMIA is too much tough. & one more thing. You have to score 80% or more to get Certificate of Qualification. Another is to get minimum 6 band in each module of IELTS.

I hope this info will be useful for you

All the Best

Thanks you for your verification

Federal Skilled Trades Program

You must meet the minimum level of
•CLB 5 (English) or NCLC 5 (French) for speaking and listening, and
•CLB 4 (English) or NCLC 4 (French) for reading and writing.

You must take a language test approved by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) and include the results when you complete your Express Entry profile if you are invited to apply for permanent residence.

If you do not, you will not be eligible for Express Entry.
