Finally, the specific details of the proposed changes in Canada's FSW Points system is now available online in?Canada Gazette. Please note that it is still a proposal and may still be subject to changes. But most likely, this will be it. That's because the way I see it, what Kenny wants, Kenny gets. ;-)
The following are the possible major changes in?Federal?Skilled Workers Program Points System.
Language Factor
1. Requiring minimum language abilities in order to qualify for the program. The proposal is to set it at Canadian Language Benchmark 7 (CLB 7) for all four abilities (speaking, listening, reading and writing). It's equivalent to IELTS Score of 6.
2. The number of points for the?second?official language (French) would be reduced from 8 points to 4 points. 3. Significantly increasing the maximum points?awarded?for fluency in one official language from 16 points to 24 points. The computation would be as follows:?
CLB 7 = 4 points (IELTS 6)?
CLB 8 = 5 points (IELTS 6.5 for Reading, Writing and Speaking. For Listening it's 7.5)?
CLB 9 = 6 points (IELTS 7 for Reading, Writing and Speaking. For Listening it's 8)?
Age Factor
The proposal is to favor younger applicants by?awarding?a maximum of 12 points for applicants aged 18 to 35 and a reduction of 1 point for every year after 35:
36 years old = 11 points?
37 years old = 10 points?
38 years old = 09 points?
39 years old = 08 points?
40 years old = 07 points?
41 years old = 06 points?
42 years old = 05 points?
43 years old = 04 points?
44 years old = 03 points?
45 years old = 02 points?
46 years old = 01 points?
47 years old = 00 points?
Work Experience?Factor
The proposal is to reduce the total number of points for?work experience?from 21 to 15, and increase the years of experience required to achieve full points, from four years to six.
1 year = 09 points
2-3 yeas = 11 points
4-5 yeas = 13 points
6 + yeas = 15 points
Adaptability Factor
The proposal is to change the adaptability criteria to emphasize factors that are shown to have positive impacts on an immigrant?s economic and social integration. Maximum is 10 points.
10 points - PA Previous?Work in Canada?(min. 1 yr at NOC 0, A, B)
05 points - Previous?study in Canada?? PA
05 points - Previous?study in Canada?? accompanying spouse/partner?
05 points - Previous?work in Canada?? accompanying spouse/partner
05 points - Arranged employment
05 points - Accompanying spouse/partner?s official language (CLB/NCLC 4) 05 points - Relative in Canada (18 years or over)?
The additional points (3-5) from Spouse's education is no longer included.?
Education Factor
Education points would be?awarded?based on the equivalent Canadian educational credential and points would be redistributed in recognition of the credential?s relevance in the Canadian labour market. Designated organizations would work on a case-by-case basis to authenticate credentials obtained in foreign jurisdictions and determine their equivalent value in Canada. 25 points - Doctoral level
23 points - Master?s level or professional degree
22 points - Two or more post-secondary credentials, one of which is a three-year or longer post-secondary credential
21 points - Three-year or longer post-secondary credential
19 points - Two-year post-secondary credential
15 points - One-year post-secondary credential?
05 points - Secondary school?
Without assessment from the organization designated by Citizenship and Immigration Canada, you can't claim points for the education factor.
Pass mark would still be 67 points.?
IMPORTANT: If you have a valid IELTS Examination Score but with score of lower than 6 in any of the four areas, it will no longer be valid. You must take schedule another examination. No word yet if the new requirement would now be the Academic Module. We will keep you posted.
