Federal Skilled Worker Program
The core Federal Skilled Worker stream rewards skilled experience, language, and education. We focus on defensible NOC selection and reference letters officers accept.
Overview
Why NOC choice is sensitive
Your claimed primary occupation affects FSW eligibility, CRS, and later proof at the eAPR stage. Changing NOC after an ITA is high risk — we lock the choice with evidence early.
Employer cooperation
Many refusals trace to vague letters. We provide templates and talking points for HR teams while keeping statements truthful and specific.
How we can help
Reference letters
Company letterhead, duties, hours, salary context, and contactable signatories — we coach employers without misstating facts.
Consistency
EE profile, résumé, and letters must tell one timeline — contradictions trigger refusals.
Education
ECA choice and credential pairing to Canadian equivalencies.

Frequently asked questions
FSW vs FSWP-2 naming?
Immigration lines and marketing names differ; we align your file to the IRCC program requirements that actually apply to you.
Can I use two jobs?
Sometimes combined work counts if both are skilled and continuity rules are met — we verify rather than assume.
What if my NOC is borderline?
We compare lead statement and inclusion / exclusion notes in the NOC version IRCC uses for your draw period.
