Q: What are the proposed changes to Canada's Federal Skilled Worker Program?

A: The changes to the Federal Skilled Worker Program that were announced on August 17, 2012, were proposed in order to update the FSWP by:
• giving language criteria more importance,
• shifting the criteria towards a younger population of immigrants, 
• giving preference to Canadian work experience over foreign work experience, 
• making the arranged employment process simpler, 
• making spousal language ability and Canadian experience assessment criteria.
