Canada Express Entry

What is the Federal Skilled Trades Program?

The FSTP Canada Permanent Residency stream focuses on skilled trades, such as construction, maintenance, manufacturing, and industrial work. Unlike other federal programs, FSTP emphasizes practical skills rather than academic degrees, making it ideal for experienced professionals who hold trade certifications.

Eligible Occupations

Candidates in NOC TEER 2 or 3 trade occupations can apply. Some of the most in-demand roles include:

• Electricians
• Plumbers
• Welders
• Carpenters
• HVAC Technicians
• Mechanics
• Heavy-duty equipment operators
• Cooks and chefs
• Butchers and bakers

If your occupation fits one of these categories, this program could be your pathway to a Canada PR Visa.
