The Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) program uses six selection factors to assess candidates who want to immigrate to Canada. You need a minimum of 67 points to join the Express Entry Pool as a Federal Skilled Worker candidate. Our Six Selection Factors Calculator helps you understand how your age, education, work experience, language ability, arranged employment, and adaptability can affect your eligibility. While this tool gives a clear snapshot of your potential score, it’s important to remember that scoring well does not guarantee an Invitation to Apply (ITA), because FSW eligibility is only the first step – candidates must also enter the Express Entry pool, be ranked using the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), and compete against other candidates for selection.
