This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada in the Federal Skilled Worker Class.
As you may be aware, changes were made to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act which affect applications submitted on or after February 27, 2008. Since your application was received on or after this date, your application is subject to these amendments.
Section 87.3(2) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act stipulates that
The processing of applications and requests is to be conducted in a manner that, in the opinion of the Minister, will best support the attainment of the immigration goals established by the Government of Canada.
Section 87.3(3) further states that
For the purposes of subsection (2), the Minister may give instructions with respect to the processing of applications and requests, including instructions
(a) establishing categories of applications or requests to which the instructions apply;
(b) establishing an order, by category or otherwise, for the processing of applications or requests;
(c) setting the number of applications or requests, by category or otherwise, to be processed in any year; and
(d) providing for the disposition of applications and requests, including those made subsequent to the first application or request.
Pursuant to the above sections, the Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism has issued instructions which were published in the Canada Gazette on 28 November 2008. These instructions specify that only applicants who have work experience in the listed occupations are eligible to be processed. These occupations are identified by codes and described in the National Occupational Classification (NOC). You may access the list of eligible occupations at:
We have assessed your declared occupation(s) against the list of eligible occupations identified by the Ministerial instructions. As your occupation(s) is included in the list of eligible occupations, you are therefore requested to submit a full application.

Prepare yourself for immigration to Canada
Although your application is being assessed, please note there is no guarantee that your application will be approved. Do not dispose of any property or assets until your visa has been issued. However, we strongly recommend that during the time your application is being processed you should prepare yourself for your possible immigration to Canada. You should learn about living and working in Canada so you can decide where to live and prepare yourself and your family for life in Canada.
Languages
Canada has two official languages, English and French. Depending on where you want to live in Canada, you will need excellent speaking, reading and writing skills in one of these languages. If you do not have strong English or French skills, study the language before going to Canada and learn the vocabulary of your profession or trade. Remember: you will be competing against many native speakers of English and French for any available jobs.
Work
Finding work is a challenging process for Canadians and for immigrants. It is essential that you prepare to work in Canada before you move. Even if you have many years of work experience in your home country, you may not be able to work in your trade or profession in Canada. There are many things you can do in your home country to prepare for working in Canada and make your job search easier.
One of your first steps should be to begin researching potential employment in Canada. Most occupations in Canada are not regulated which means that for those occupations, the employer is responsible for assessing and recognizing your qualifications.
However, some occupations are regulated and do not permit persons to practice without a license. To obtain a license to practice a regulated occupation, you must go through an assessment and an acceptance of your education and professional qualifications by a regulatory body. This assessment will compare your training, education and experience to Canadian requirements. The assessment will also help determine whether further training and evaluation may be needed before you acquire a license to practice your occupation in Canada.

We trust that this information is helpful. Thank you for your interest in Canada.
