Common Problems

Problems This Review Helps Catch

The CRS score looks close, but the profile has not been checked against language, education, work history, spouse factors, and timing together.

Applicants focus on one permanent residence pathway while a province, category draw, Canadian work timeline, or regional option may be more realistic.

Work history, NOC selection, reference letters, and education evidence may not support the same story across the profile and documents.

A work permit or maintained status timeline is moving faster than the permanent residence strategy, creating pressure near expiry.

Federal Skilled Trades files can become weak when forms, documents, and explanations are prepared separately instead of being reviewed as one consistent package.
