Index

Introduction

Canadian Federal Skilled Trades is often referred to as FST. For skilled workers, the language requirements are low, but they must meet the Canadian local skilled workers’ requirements and have relevant work experience. After January 1, 2015, the FST category is also classified as the Canadian EE fast track category. Applicants who meet the FST requirements also need to queue up according to their scores and obtain the EE system invitation before they can apply for a visa.
