Hi all,

FSW program needs minimum 67 qualifying points out of 100 points and one of the criteria is Education:

Now, my query is that when can we claim the 23 points for "Masters Degree"?

Pls help me to understand this about Master degree points in FSW:
There is a mention of few specific degrees below Master degree, so does it mean that only those applicants having Masters degree in these mentioned fields of study can claim for Masters degree points in FSW selection Factors?

because below wordings are mentioned on cic website for FSW Selection Factors..

Link: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-factors.asp

University degree at the Master’s level or equal (Footnote 2) OR University level entry-to-practice professional degree (or equal (Footnote 2)). Occupation related to the degree must be:
  • NOC 2011 Skill Level A, and
  • licensed by a provincial regulatory body.

Note: Degree program must be in one of these fields of study: Medicine, Veterinary Medicine, Dentistry, Podiatry, Optometry, Law, Chiropractic Medicine, or Pharmacy.

@munjal & @mohitbector The footnote is meant for University level entry-to-practice professional degree (for regulated professions I believe). This does not mean that Masters in only those fields will fetch you points. However for certain NOCs especially the regulated professions the requirements are stricter.

You can find out the designated organisation for field relevant to you in the link below: read: how to choose a designated organization section

All the best
