Carmen - I guess you meant Federal Skilled Workers category.... if so, here you go...

Skilled workers and professionals: Who can apply
Skilled workers are people who are selected as permanent residents based on their ability to become economically established in Canada.

Federal skilled worker applications received on or after February 27, 2008 are now assessed for eligibility according to a set of criteria issued by the Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism.

You can find out more about the criteria in the Learn about section at the bottom of this page.

Your application will be reviewed in three steps.

1. According to the eligibility criteria, your application is eligible for processing if:

•you have an offer of arranged employment, OR
•you are a foreign national who has been living legally in Canada for one year as a temporary foreign worker or an international student, OR
•you are a skilled worker who has at least one year of experience* in one or more of the occupations listed here.
*Experience is defined as continuous full-time or equivalent part-time paid work experience.

2. If your application is eligible for processing, you must also meet the following minimum requirements to qualify as a skilled worker:

•you have at least one year of continuous full-time paid work experience or the equivalent in part-time continuous employment, AND
•your work experience must be Skill Type 0 (managerial occupations) or Skill Level A (professional occupations) or B (technical occupations and skilled trades) on the Canadian National Occupational Classification list, AND
•you must have had this experience within the last 10 years.
3. If you meet these minimum requirements, your application will then be processed according to the six selection factors in the skilled worker points grid. The six selection factors are:

•your education
•your abilities in English and/or French, Canada’s two official languages
•your work experience
•your age
•whether you have arranged employment in Canada, and
•your adaptability.
You must also show that you have enough money to support yourself and your dependants after you arrive in Canada.

If you are not sure if you should apply as a skilled worker, you can:

•use the eligibility tool to get an idea of whether your application would be eligible for processing, then
•try a self-assessment test to see if you might earn enough points to qualify.

Is my application eligible for processing?
In order for your application to be eligible for processing, you must either:

•have an offer of arranged employment, OR
•be a foreign national who has been living legally in Canada for one year as a temporary foreign worker or an international student, OR
•be a skilled worker who has had at least one year of experience* in one or more of the following occupations within the last ten years:
*Experience is defined as continuous full-time or equivalent part-time paid work experience
