Skilled workers from outside Canada can apply for employment visas to live and work in Canada. A skilled worker can work in Canada by applying for a temporary Canadian work permit or can apply for a Federal Skilled Worker Visa. A temporary work permit does not allow a person to stay in the country beyond the specified period unless he/she applies for another visa. However, a holder of Federal Skilled Worker Visa can live in Canada as a permanent resident.
Federal Skilled Worker Occupations
The qualifying occupations for the Federal Skilled Workers in Canada are broadly categorized to four divisions. If an applicant has paid experience in any of the qualifying occupations mentioned in the list then he/she can surely apply for Federal Skilled Worker Visa in Canada. The applicant is also eligible for the same if he/she has stayed in Canada for at least a year as an international student or worker.
