The Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) is one of the three immigration programs managed under Canada’s Express Entry system. It is specifically designed for skilled workers who have experience in manual, technical, and trade occupations and want to become permanent residents of Canada.
This pathway is ideal for individuals who are certified, trained, or experienced in hands-on skilled trades and wish to build long-term careers in Canada.
🔴 Faster processing through Express Entry
🔴 Lower language score requirements compared to FSW and CEC
🔴 High demand for trades across Canada
🔴 Opportunities for permanent residence and long-term settlement

Canada groups FSTP trades into six major categories.
Under each category, you’ll find the specific professions/trades that qualify.
