1. Canada Federal Skilled Worker Points Calculator 2013
Canadian skills immigration program will be launched in new manifestation in May
2013. The selection and processing priorities in this new edition have been modified to a
great extent. The proposed changes are going to have a widespread impact on the
operational aspect of the skills immigration policy of this country. The new Canada
Federal Skilled Worker Points Calculator 2013 system compliments these proposals.
This new manifestation signifies the intentions of Canadian authorities.
The primary concern of authorities has been to make the skills migration program
effective and useful. To give this scheme a credible edge and make it receptive and
responsive to the changing aspirations of an economy which is reeling under the
aftermath of credit crunch authorities have taken necessary steps and measures.
The primary aim of the program is to address immediate issues of ageing workforce and
dwindling demographics. The revised Points Calculator 2013 of Federal Skilled Worker
class forays into different aspects of profiles of probable candidates.
Most prominent alteration in marks allocation can be observed in areas of
• Age
• Linguistic Skills in Official language
• Academic accomplishments
• Foreign employment exposure
• Adaptability factor
• Arranged employment
Foreign employment exposure has been deemed to an inadequate influencing factor in
guaranteeing migrants adjustments and settlement in the country. So as a consequence
marks allocated to this parameter have been downgraded from 21 to 15. The Marks
have been reassigned to age and linguistic department of migrant’s profile.
Linguistic skills have been envisaged as most crucial part of a profile and thus the marks
have been raised from 16 to 24. To top up a minimum offset level at par with CLB/NCLC
7 has been defined as minimum desired parameter for an applicant to be considered
suitable for migration. In addition to setting up a minimum desired level in official
language of the country (English or French) now the people will need to evidence their
skills in each parameter of linguistic skills (speaking, writing, reading and
comprehension) CLB/NCLC 7 will only fetch 16 marks and CLB/NCLC 8 will be fetch 24
marks (maximum). The criteria of allocation will be applied to all 4 aspects of linguistic
skills.
As the Canadian government intends to attract and encourage younger migrants age
preference has been made age a primary tool of FSW Points Calculator 2013 system of

2. assessing an immigrant’s profile. Minimum entry age has been established at 18 years
which will enable a profile a maximum score of 12 marks this maximum score will be
allocated to people with age upto 35 years. Marks will reduce with each point with
addition of age per year of i.e. people aged 36 years will be scoring 11 marks and so on.
This makes it evident that people will be able to score lesser with addition of each year
in their age i.e. people aged 47 will be allocated only 1 point.
Academic qualification will continue to be allocated 25 marks as before but the marks
will be assigned only after the academic profile evaluation by a designated independent
Canadian assessment agency. This process will have to be completed before filing of
request for permanent residential permission under FSW.
Canada Federal Skilled Worker Points Calculator 2013 system stipulates changes in
marks allocation strategy for adaptability factor and all the scoring elements have been
redefined and reassigned. Arranged employment instances will be fetching 10 marks as
before but the allocation of these marks will be confirmed only after receipt of labor
pool evaluation advice – LMO.
