a) Skilled Worker Class:

Skilled workers are selected as permanent residents based on their education, work experience, knowledge of English and/or French, and other criteria that have been shown to help them become economically established in Canada. The term “federal skilled worker” refers to the category under which skilled workers can apply, if they want to live in any Canadian province or territory except Quebec.
Your application to come to Canada as a skilled worker will also be assessed against a point system consisting of six selection factors. The six selection factors are:

Factor 1	Education	Maximum 25 points
Factor 2	Ability in English and or French	Maximum 24 points
Factor 3	Experience	Maximum 21 points
Factor 4	Age	Maximum 10 points

Factor 6	Adaptability	Maximum 10 points
Total		Maximum 100 points
Pass Mark		67 points

* The current pass mark is 67 points for all factors combined. If your score is the same or higher than the pass mark, then you may qualify to immigrate to Canada as a skilled worker. Review the information about immigrating to Canada as a skilled worker and decide if you want to.
