Federal Skilled Trades (FST)
Canada is building, skilled trades are in demand.
Who qualifies
The FST program is for people with two years of full-time experience in an eligible skilled trade within the last five years, who hold either a valid job offer of at least one year from a Canadian employer or a certificate of qualification issued by a Canadian province or territory. Language minimums are CLB 5 speaking/listening and CLB 4 reading/writing.
Trades earn extra CRS points
A certificate of qualification combined with decent language scores earns up to 50 skill-transferability points, a meaningful boost. Trades are also regular targets of category-based Express Entry draws with lower cut-offs than general draws.
How we help
We coordinate the provincial certification piece (including B.C. trade authority processes), verify your trade's eligibility under the current NOC, and prepare the Express Entry profile and PR application end to end.
