This means one has a job offer prior to the application for the Canadian Federal Skilled Worker Program. This means that either the applicant has the job offer from outside Canada or already has a job in Canada. The job must be a permanent one and on a full-time basis.
Since the skilled job is based on the NOC skill type, the job must be listed as a Skill Type 0, Skill Level A, or Skill Level B.
The highest points one can get is 10 points.
This would allocate point on the basis that one would be able to adjust to the standard of life in Canada. If an applicant has a spouse or partner, it might add to the applicant’s points.
