and other smaller categories of immigrantsand other smaller categories of immigrants
POINTS SYSTEM: How do I know if I might qualify?
Skilled workers must obtain a minimum of 70 points. The self-assessment guide which comes with the application kit for independent immigrants will help you evaluate your chances of success. Remember that the processing fee is not refundable, so if you appear unlikely to qualify, you may decide not to apply.
Here are the factors assessed and the maximum points for each:
FACTOR MAX. POINTS
Age 10
You will get the maximum of 10 if you are between 21 and 44. If you are under 18 or older than 48, you will get zero for age. If you are 18 or 47, you score only 4 points for age.
Education 16
You must have completed secondary school to get any points for education. Secondary school completion may give you 5 or 10 points, depending on the level of the program. For instance, if your secondary diploma would allow you to enter university, it is worth 10 points. A non-university post-secondary diploma may be worth 10 or 13 points, depending on the level. You may get 15 points for a university degree requiring at least three years of full-time study. The maximum of 16 is granted for a post-secondary degree.
Education/Training Factor 18
This refers to the level of training required for your occupation, and is shown on the General Occupations List. For example, a petroleum engineer may get 17 for ETF, but an oil and gas drilling labourer gets only 2.
Occupation 10
The points for occupation are shown on the General Occupations List. If your occupation is not on the list, you will not qualify for immigration unless you have arranged employment.
Arranged Employment 10
This refers to a job offer validated or approved by a Human Resource Centre in Canada.
Experience 8
You must have at least one year of experience in your occupation to qualify. The points given for experience are calculated based on the years you have worked in the job and the Education/Training Factor for your occupation.
Demographic Factor 8
This number is set by the federal government.
Language Ability 15
This assesses your knowledge of English and French, the two official languages of Canada. The guide will help you assess the points you might get, depending on whether you speak, read and write English and/or French fluently, well or with difficulty. If you speak, read and write both English and French fluently, you get 15 points. If you speak read and write only English or French, but have no or little knowledge of the other, you are entitled to 9 points. You get zero if you have no knowledge of either language or your knowledge is considered "with difficulty".
Personal Suitability 10
This refers to your ability to settle successfully in Canada, based on such qualities as adaptability, motivation and initiative. At the interview, the visa officer assesses personal suitability and awards points, usually between 5 and 7. It is extremely rare to get 10 points for personal suitability.
Relative in Canada 5
You get 5 bonus points as an assisted relative if you have a brother, sister, mother, father, grandparent, aunt, uncle, niece or nephew living in Canada as a permanent resident or Canadian citizen. You need proof of the relationship and of the relative's status in Canada.
