As well, workers that make it through this part of the process will have to prove that they can earn a living in Canada. This income should include enough to support themselves as well as their family members if any.
This program is designed for workers that have already spent time working in Canada. The person applying must have at least one year of skilled work experience in Canada.

Like the Federal Skilled Worker Program, you will receive a number score. Since this application doesn’t use education, the number earned is often lower than 67. Those reviewing your application will keep this in mind.
Provincial Nomination is an excellent option for people whose profiles don’t fit the other Programs. This is a program where the person applying can be nominated by a specific province. If they earn permanent residence, they will need to live in that province.
Excluding Quebec and Nunavut, all provinces have a focused program. If nominated, you will be awarded 600 extra points in the ranking system. If you do not get enough points to get entry via the other Programs, then Provincial Nomination could make a difference.
