As you may know, the Canadian Skilled Worker immigration program was developed to encourage individuals with skills that would be useful to the country to move there. By requiring you to meet certain qualifications, the program serves two purposes.

First, the government is ensuring that they their social programs do not become overwhelmed by immigrants who lack the necessary skills to be successful.

Second, the government does not want to encourage you to move away from your country only to end up with limited job possibilities in Canada. To fulfill both of these purposes, skilled workers must meet the standards set by the Pass-Mark system.

With the Pass-Mark system, you earn points based on a number of factors, including education and work experience. Originally, the Pass-Mark system had higher standards. Potential immigrants had to achieve a score of at least 75.

Today, that score is only 67. Before you start completing any paperwork, you need to begin determining whether or not you will be able to achieve that score.

One of the factors assessed by the Canadian government is education.

Under the Canadian system, education is an important qualification for a skilled worker. However, you do not have to hold a master’s degree or higher to earn points towards qualification under this section.

Apprenticeships, trade/vocational degrees, bachelor’s degrees, even high school diplomas will earn you points. The maximum number of points available for this category is 25. That means a strong educational background will give you an excellent start towards achieving that passing score.

It is important that you understand how to gather, organize and present your academic documents to the Canadian Government.

Let me give you an important recommendation related to the financial documents you have to prepare and attach to your visa application.

As you may know, one of the documents you must attach to your application is the “Proof of Settlement Funds“.

This document is VERY IMPORTANT, since you have to demonstrate to the Canadian government that you have enough funds to arrive and settle in Canada.

At the moment, the funds you must have to arrive and settle in Canada are reasonable. These funds are different depending on the number of family members coming with you.

I recommend using the following documents as a proof to settle in Canada:

o A current bank certification letter
o Savings balance
o Fixed or time deposit statements

It is extremely important that you attach the RIGHT documents in each part of the application process!

I recommend knowing exactly the funds you need to proove to the government! If you do not meet the criteria, your application will most likely be either refused or delayed.

Never give up! Apply for the Canadian visa and move to Canada!

Well, I hope you found my advice useful. Don
