The Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) in Canada is designed to offer permanent residence to skilled workers who have qualifications in specific skilled trades. Here's an overview of the key details related to the FSTP:

**Eligible Trades:**
- The FSTP includes a range of skilled trades categorized under the National Occupational Classification. These trades are grouped into various major and minor groups. Examples of eligible trades include technical trades, general trades, supervisors in natural resources, and more.

**Requirements for the Federal Skilled Trades Program:**
1. **Language Proficiency:** Candidates must demonstrate language proficiency in either English or French. Specifically, they need to achieve Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) level 5 for speaking and listening, and CLB level 4 for reading and writing.

2. **Work Experience:** Candidates should have a minimum of two years of full-time work experience (or an equivalent amount of part-time experience) in a skilled trade within the last five years. This work experience is counted from the time when the candidate becomes qualified to independently practice the trade.

3. **Job Offer:** Candidates must meet one of the following criteria:
   - Hold a valid job offer for full-time employment lasting at least one year, OR
   - Possess a certificate of qualification in the skilled trade issued by a Canadian provincial, territorial, or federal authority.

4. **Education:** While there are no formal education requirements for the FSTP, candidates can include their educational credentials in their Express Entry profiles to potentially increase their (CRS) score, improving their chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA).

5. **Proof of Funds:** Candidates need to demonstrate that they have the necessary funds to support themselves and their dependents when settling in Canada.

**How We Can Assist:**
Candidates interested in applying for the Federal Skilled Trades Program can complete a free assessment questionnaire to receive guidance and support throughout the application process.

Overall, the FSTP provides an opportunity for skilled workers in specific trades to obtain permanent residence in Canada, with a focus on language proficiency, work experience, job offers, and other relevant factors.
