In order to qualify for a Canada Immigration (Permanent Resident) Visa, Federal Skilled Trades applicants must:
- Have offers of employment from up to two employers in Canada of at least one year duration OR a Certificate of Qualification from a provincial or territorial body;
- Provide proof of basic language proficiency from a designated language testing organization, demonstrating that the applicant meets the minimum threshold set by the Minister — Canadian Level Benchmark (CLB) 5 for speaking and listening, CLB 4 for reading and writing;
- Have obtained 24 months of qualified work experience in the skilled trade in the last five years; and
- Be able to demonstrate the skills and experience and that they have performed the essential duties of the occupation.
I'm confused..........FST applicants are mostly from the age of 30s to 40.
For example; if an applicant is 40 years of age having a graduate degree, have experience of professional work for more than 2 years, IELTS score 6.0, have a job offer with positive LMIA which score has been reduced to 50 from 600. How could he come in the pool as the CRS of latest draw is 415?
