Seattle Market Context

Why Seattle applicants choose federal skilled worker.

A major technology and aerospace hub in close proximity to the Canadian border, with strong cross-border interest in skilled worker and business pathways.

Federal Skilled Worker in Seattle

Seattle's tech and aerospace engineering base aligns closely with BC PNP Tech and Express Entry's STEM-focused category draws.

Express Entry is a points-based national pool — your CRS score, not your city, determines your ranking. Still, local labor-market conditions shape which occupations move fastest through category-based draws. Mahyar Afzali, RCIC, works directly with clients throughout the process — from initial eligibility assessment through submission and follow-through — regardless of where in the US you're based.

Eligibility Snapshot
Skilled work experience in NOC TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3
Language ability in English or French (CLB 7 typical minimum)
Post-secondary education, ideally ECA-verified
Sufficient settlement funds unless already working in Canada

Seattle falls under the Consulate General of Canada in Seattle; its proximity to the Canadian border means many clients here have already visited Canada, which can factor into demonstrating genuine intent on study or visitor applications.
