It is managed by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). This program is primarily for immigrants who wish to settle and work in Canada based on their skills and experience.

It is the primary way to take advantage of job opportunities in various provinces of Canada. The Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) is for skilled workers in technical and trade sectors, such as construction, machinery, and other technical professions. The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) allows provinces and territories in Canada to select workers to meet the local labor market needs.
Summary: The FSWP targets skilled professionals with education and experience, FSTP is for tradespeople, and PNP allows provinces to select workers based on local labor needs.
