Canada introduced it to attract qualified, educated workers, and a successful applicant can bring a spouse or partner and dependent children on the same application.<br \/>It is one of the main economic routes into the country. Under the current Immigration Levels Plan, Canada aims to admit around 380,000 new permanent residents in 2026, and about 60 per cent of those places are allocated to economic programmes, of which Express Entry is the largest single channel. So what does Canada actually mean by a skilled worker?<\/p><h3>Who counts as a skilled worker?<\/h3><p>For IRCC, a skilled worker is someone whose knowledge and skills were gained at university, at a recognised college or training institution, or on the job. Broadly there are two groups:<\/p><ol><li>Managers and supervisors<\/li><li>Applicants with academic qualifications and relevant experience<\/li><\/ol><p>The list of eligible occupations is wide. Engineers, teachers, doctors and accountants qualify, and so do many technical and trade roles, from truck drivers to cooks. Note that the Federal Skilled Worker Program is a permanent residence route and works quite differently from a Canadian work permit.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-546b356 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"546b356\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What are the Federal Skilled Worker requirements?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1497e4c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1497e4c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Eligibility takes more than a language test.
