    The Federal Skilled Trades Program (FST) is one of Canada’s Express Entry pathways for qualified trades professionals who wish to apply for permanent residence. It is designed for applicants with hands-on experience in eligible trades where Canada has ongoing labor needs.

    All eligibility assessments and final decisions are made only by IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada). The Federal Skilled Trades Program (FST) is an Express Entry pathway for qualified trades workers. Availability, invitations, and approvals depend on IRCC rules and eligibility, and are never guaranteed.
