    In 2013, the Canadian Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) was reopened. Compared to previous policies, the new policy includes only 24 occupations on the list, with an annual quota of only 5,000 applications and a cap of 300 per individual occupation. It is understood that throughout 2013, the Canadian federal government only accepted skilled immigrants within these 24 occupational categories. Among these, 9 are medical technical roles, and 10 are various engineering professions. Applicants are scored based on their proficiency in English or French, age, education, work experience, arranged employment in Canada, and adaptability. The total score is 100 points, with a passing mark of 67. Only those who meet these criteria are eligible to immigrate.
 
    Canada Immigration authorities have changed skilled immigration policies multiple times, with the types of occupations continuously decreasing, indicating that the threshold for skilled immigration is becoming increasingly higher. The reduction in quotas and the narrowing of occupational categories have had a significant impact on applicants from China. Under the new policy, the number of applicants for Canadian skilled immigration from China is steadily declining.
