Canada Government has various pathways to immigrate to Canada. Most of all, these pathways are point-based. It means the candidate needs to meet the minimum score requirements for getting the Canada permanent residency status. The most successful pathway of Canadian immigration for Skilled workers is an express entry. It has three sub-streams - Federal Skilled Workers Program (FSWP), Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), and Canadian Experience Class (CEC). The candidate needs to be eligible in any of the three subcategories to get selected in the Express Entry System. For evaluation of the applicant's point score, there is a comprehensive ranking system tool. A comprehensive ranking system (CRS) tool is used to assess the candidates' credentials based on the selection factors of age, Language abilities, Educational Qualification, Work Experience, arranged employment, and adaptability. The calculation of the CRS score doesn't mean that you are eligible in any of the three Express Entry programs. Rather, it means you need to find the point score abilities in one of the three sub-streams to move forward. The Federal Skilled Workers Program (FSWP) is for applicants who have never lived in Canada before.
