The Intermediate-Skilled Program is made for two types of candidates:

2. Those who have work experience as:

• registered Nurse or registered psychiatric nurse (NOC type A 3012)

• Home support worker (NOC type C 4412) 

You must meet all the following requirements:

• 1 year of full-time skilled work experience (as specified above) in the last 3 years. Self-employment, unpaid internships or volunteering don’t count.
• At least a Canadian secondary degree, diploma or certificate or equivalent foreign credentials supported by an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) report. When your degree is issued by an learning institution outside Canada (in your country of origin for example), you should request an ECA with one of the following designated organizations to increase your score:
• World Education Services (WES),
• International Credential Assessment Service of Canada (ICAS),

Here’s a step-by-step tutorial on how to complete an application with WES.

That report is valid for a period of 5 years.

• At least, a language level of CLB/NCLC 4 in the four abilities (reading, writing, speaking and listening). For a greater clarity, here’s a conversion table from all forms of approved tests to CLB/NCLC 4:

• You have enough money to support yourself and your family members even if they are not immigrating with you with the only exception of when you are working in Canada under a valid work permit. The amount required varies according to the size of your family.

The amount must be immediately available and accessible to you such as cash, stocks, bonds, cheques, money orders… both when you apply and when your permanent resident visa is issued. If you are married, you can add up the money you have together in order for you to meet the minimum threshold. Bank statement or attestation of funds (with specific requirements) delivered by a financial institution are very common proofs of funds. This said, you cannot count your car, house or jewellery as part of your funds.

• You have a non-seasonal full-time and permanent job offer in a job of an NOC type 0, A, B or C from a designated employer participating to the AIP. Not to mention the need of meeting all the employment requirements for the job offered.
