Can you Move?

Figuring out whether you are eligible to migrate to a new country is no mean feat.

So we’ve put together a summary of the entry options available to skilled migrants.
There are six key factors that increase your ability to enter Canada:

  • You are under 54 years of age
  • You have at least one year's work experience
  • You have been offered a job in Canada
  • You can speak in English, French or both
  • You have a tertiary or trade qualification
  • You have studied, worked or have family in Canada


The Skilled Worker category is the main path to a life in Canada. It works on a points system and is designed to encourage skilled people to move to Canada.

Points are earned on the basis of your qualifications, work experience and whether you have a job or job offer in Canada.

Check out the List to see if your job is in the Skilled Worker category in Canada. This will give you a better chance of gaining residency.
