what is the SKILLED WORKER PROGRAM in Canada?

The Skilled Worker Program is an immigration program run by the Canadian government that allows skilled workers from around the world to come to Canada and contribute their skills to the Canadian economy. It is designed to provide an economic benefit to Canada by bringing in workers with the skills and experiences that are needed in the Canadian job market. Applicants are assessed based on a number of factors including language proficiency, work experience, education, and other factors. Those accepted into the program may be granted permanent residency in Canada and will be able to work and live in the country.
