Language
You must take an approved English or French test and meet at least CLB/NCLC 7 in all four abilities for your first official language.
Education
You need at least secondary education. Foreign education generally needs an Educational Credential Assessment if you rely on it for eligibility or points.
Selection factors
IRCC assesses language, education, work experience, age, arranged employment and adaptability on a 100-point grid. A score of at least 67 is currently required. This is different from CRS.
Proof of funds
Most FSWP applicants must show settlement funds. An exemption can apply if you are legally authorized to work in Canada and have a valid job offer.
