REVIEW QUESTIONS 1. What is considered to be a valid job offer by a Canadian employer to an applicant in the FSW class? Job offers in the FSW class: • must be made by a single employer. • must be for at least one year after IRCC issues the permanent resident visa; • must be continuous, full-time paid work, non-seasonal, and non-contract; and • must be skill type 0 (managerial occupations) or skill level A (professional occupations) or B (technical occupations and skilled trades) on the NOC list. 2. What is considered to be a valid job offer by a Canadian employer to an applicant in the FST class? Job offers in the FST class: • may be made by up to two employers. • must be for at least one year of full-time work; and • must be skill level B (technical occupations and skilled trades) in one of the eligible occupations. 3. What is the rationale behind business class immigration, from Canada’s point of view? Business class immigration program aims to attract individuals those have a significant ability to contribute to the Canadian economy . 4. Nick has owned and operated a small café with his wife on a Greek island for the last ten years. Would Nick’s experience as a self-employed café owner qualify as relevant experience in his application for permanent residence as a business class applicant in the self-employed persons category? Nick’s business would not qualify under Canada’s definition of self-employed. A person under self-employed has relevant experience and has the intention and ability to be self- employed in Canada and to make a significant contribution to specified economic activities in Canada. Nick’s small café doesn’t fall to Canada’s specified economic activities, such as Cultural activities, Athletics and Purchase and management of a farm. FEDERAL SKILLED WORKERS CASE STUDY Test Your Knowledge: A Tale of Two Sisters It was the best of times, it was the worst of times... (A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens, 1859)

Farah and Marjane are sisters who are citizens of Iran. They each obtained a BSc degree at Tehran University and then continued their studies in France. Farah is 31 years old and Marjane is 26; they are fluent in Farsi and French. Farah studied pharmacology and obtained a master’s degree at the Université Paris Sud. She then worked full-time for two years as a hospital pharmacist in Paris, where she compounded and dispensed doctor-prescribed pharmaceuticals. After obtaining a master’s degree in health and society, Marjane also found full-time work at a Paris hospital, as a nurse’s aide. There she performed duties such as shaving, bathing, dressing, and grooming patients; serving meal trays and feeding patients; lifting and turning patients; and other duties related to patient care and comfort. Now back in Iran, they see there are few job prospects for them, despite their education. They are thinking about immigrating either to Canada (where there is a national shortage of pharmacists) or the United States (where they have an uncle). The sisters investigated the steps it takes to become Canadian permanent residents as federal skilled workers under the economic classes and applied to various positions advertised in the Canadian job bank. Their research resulted in valid job offers in Ontario. Farah has arranged employment as a hospital pharmacist while Marjane has arranged employment as a nurse’s aide in a long-term care facility. They have never travelled to Canada, and they are not inadmissible. 1. Using the NOC system (2016.1), look up the occupation codes for pharmacist and nurse’s aide. What skill level is each occupation? Pharmacist - NOC 3131. This code is under Skill Code A – 0 or 1, professional jobs that usually call for a degree from a university. Nurse Aide - NOC 3413. This code is under Skill Level C – 4 or 5, occupations that usually require secondary school and/or occupation-specific training. 2. Describe the general steps to apply for permanent residence as federal skilled workers using the EE system. a) When you have an invitation to apply through Express Entry as permanent resident, you can now start your online application. Keep in mind that invitation is only valid for 60 days. b) Sign into your account, c) Click link to apply Permanent Residence under Express Entry. d) Fill out the form. Submit the required documents both for your profile and permanent residence application. e) Pay your fees, fees vary per applicant and dependents.

f) Submit application. IRCC will contact you to give your Biometrics, they will send updates on your application, and tell what will happen next. g) Check your application status. h) Once approved, wait for your Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) and PR Visa. 3. Farah and Marjane wish to submit their expressions of interest through the IRCC website, where their applications would be scored and ranked against the pool of applicants—including against each other. They suspect that they will end up with different scores but wonder by how much. Let’s consider how their applications would be scored. Use the worksheet provided below to calculate the points in the CRS. CRS Grid Worksheet Factors (With spouse) (Unmarried) Farah Marjane CRS-A.

Total CRS subtotal for A + B + C + D = total 594 605 4. Farah and Marjane are highly educated and have high proficiency in one of Canada’s official languages as well as work experience, so they think they can apply as skilled immigrants. Briefly contrast and compare the basic requirements to apply in the FSW class and the FST class. Federal Skilled Worker Minimum Requirements • At least one year of continuous paid work experience over the last 10 years, and must be NOC O, A, B job. • Passing score in English Proficiency Test. • Canadian High School diploma or equivalent in foreign education • Proof of Funds - You must show that you have enough money for you and your family to settle in Canada. • You have a valid job offer from an employer in Canada. • Must be admissible to Canada. Federal Skilled Trade Minimum Requirements • At least two years of full-time work experience in skilled trade within 5 years. • Meet the job requirements for the skilled trade as set in NOC, except for needing a certificate of qualification. Certificate issued by a Canadian provincial, territorial or federal authority. • Meet required score in English Proficiency Test, • No education requirements for the Federal Skilled Trades program. • Proof of funds for you and your family to settle in Canada. • Must be admissible to Canada. 5. Determine which of these classes Farah and Marjane should apply under and explain why. Farah will be under FSW while Marjane is in FST program. FST and FSW basic requirements differ in work experience requirements, FSW must be under NOC O, A, B, while FST is a skilled trade set by NOC and requires certificate from a Canadian federal authority. And Farah's work experience is under NOC A which is a pharmacist in a hospital, while Marjane is NOC C, she worked as a Nurse Aid in a hospital.
