Read the whole story
  1. Meet Priya. “I’m a data scientist in Bangalore, and Canada is my dream.”
  2. The challenge. “Is my score high enough? Every website tells me something different.”
  3. Finding Global Compass. “Global Compass explained Express Entry without the jargon.”
  4. Telling the story. “I shared my degree, my work history and my language test plans.”
  5. Lawyer-backed answers. “A lawyer checked my Federal Skilled Worker basics and what could raise my score.”
  6. Help that keeps going. “When Express Entry changed, our check-in told me what it meant for me.”
  7. The way forward. “My language results are in, and my profile is in the Express Entry pool.”
  8. What comes next. “My profile is complete, and I know exactly what to do if I’m invited.”

The rules behind Priya’s story

Real requirements, from official sources.

  • At least one year of continuous skilled work in the last 10 years, in one occupation.
    Official source
  • Education from outside Canada needs an educational credential assessment.
    Official source
  • Proof of settlement funds for your family size.
    Official source
  • Category-based rounds only cover listed occupations, and data scientists aren’t on the current STEM list, so her profile competes in general rounds.

The way forward
