Skilled Work Experience

What This Criterion Requires

Eligible FSW experience is skilled work under the National Occupational Classification (NOC) TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3. Experience must be paid and meet program duration rules (commonly at least one year of continuous full-time or equivalent part-time skilled work). Job duties must substantially match the lead statement and main duties of the claimed NOC.

What Officers Look For

• Correct 6-digit NOC for the work actually performed
• Employer letters with title, dates, hours/week, salary, and detailed duties
• Continuity and credibility of timelines
• Corroboration from pay or tax records when letters are thin
