§2 Your situation, as we recorded it

This is your file as we recorded it. Read it first: every figure further down is calculated from these facts, so an error here is an error everywhere. Tell us and we correct the file, not just the sentence.

§3 Score breakdown

Your score is calculated by fixed rules from your answers and the published points criteria, broken out item by item so you can see where each point comes from. Where a figure has not been calculated, the row is left blank rather than filled with a guess.

• Factor Your value Verified on
• Core human capital Age, education, language, Canadian work sample value Pending verification canada.ca
• Accompanying spouse factors Spouse's education and language results sample value Pending verification canada.ca
• Skill transferability Education combined with language and work sample value Pending verification canada.ca
• Additional points Canadian study credential on file sample value Pending verification canada.ca
• Second official language No French test result on file sample value Pending verification canada.ca
• Comprehensive Ranking System total sample value

Sample display value — in an issued report each figure appears here once it has been verified item by item.

The points columns on this page are deliberately blank rather than filled with plausible numbers. The published criteria grid is the source; until every value in our rules registry is checked against it and dated, a number here would be invented, and an invented number is the one thing a report like this cannot contain.

Each criteria value is checked against the official page and dated before it is used in an issued report.

What would move it

The same deterministic rules, re-run with one thing changed. An issued report gives the resulting figure for each row.

• If this changed Factors re-read
• One CLB band higher in every English ability Language factor and skill transferability sample value
• A French test result added to the file Second-official-language factor sample value
• Canadian work experience passing its next full year Canadian experience factor and transferability sample value
• A provincial nomination on file Additional points sample value

§4 Pathway map

Here is what the checks found for each pathway, based on the information you provided: which ones are worth exploring further, which are not indicated right now, and which programs are currently closed. Each row links to the official page so you can check it yourself.

• Canadian Experience Class Reachable with some steps Quoted from the official processing-time tool on the day of issue Not calculated canada.ca
• BC PNP Skills Immigration Pending verified criteria Quoted from the official processing-time tool on the day of issue Not calculated welcomebc.ca
• Federal Skilled Worker Pending verified criteria Quoted from the official processing-time tool on the day of issue Not calculated canada.ca
• Bridging open work permit Reachable with some steps Quoted from the official processing-time tool on the day of issue Not calculated canada.ca

Official fees appear in an issued report only once each amount is matched to the official fee page. No amount is printed here that has not been.

What we recommend, and why not the others

Lead Canadian Experience Class

The Canadian work history and the language results are the two things this stream reads first, and both are already on file. What is missing is documentary, not substantive.

Backup BC PNP Skills Immigration

Kept as the backup because it reads the same employment facts from a provincial angle, and because the applicant already lives and works in the province.

Lead with the Canadian Experience Class and keep BC PNP Skills Immigration as the backup: both read the same employment record, so one document-gathering effort serves both, and the bridging permit keeps work authorization continuous while the lead application is decided.

Federal Skilled Worker is left out of the lead position on purpose, and the reason is written above rather than left for you to guess. A report that lists every stream without ranking them has moved the judgement back onto the client.

• Federal Skilled Worker Not recommended as the lead: it is the stream the Canadian work history helps least, and pursuing it first would add a selection-grid assessment without changing what has to be collected anyway.
• Bridging open work permit Not a pathway to permanent residence — it is the instrument that keeps work authorization continuous while one is decided. It belongs in the plan, not in the comparison.

The recommendation in this sample demonstrates the structure only. A real one is made for one file, by the licensed consultant who signs it.

§5 Risks and red flags

The part of the report that costs us something to write. If the honest read is that you should wait, or not spend money yet, it goes here in writing.

Points to watch

• Status runway is the binding constraint Every date in the plan is measured backwards from the permit expiry, not forwards from today. If one step slips, it is the last step that loses its margin.
• The employment letters are the weak document The letters on file give job titles and dates but not weekly hours or duties. That is the single most common reason an otherwise sound work-experience claim is questioned.
• Language results have their own clock A test result that expires mid-process forces a retake at the least convenient moment. The plan schedules the check early for that reason.
• Programs and their criteria change Category-based selection and provincial streams are adjusted from time to time. Nothing in this report is a prediction about what will be open later.
• When we would tell you not to spend money yet Filing before the employment letters are corrected carries the same weakness into the assessment, and the fees are not refunded for having filed early. Our advice in that position is to fix the file first — even though waiting means we bill later.

§6 Action list · Calendar and key dates

The steps above placed on your own calendar, so the morning after the consultation you know what to do. Each row names who does it and what it produces.

Days 0–30

• Who Step Produces
• You Ask your employer to reissue the employment letter with weekly hours, duties and salary A letter that survives an officer reading it closely
• You Confirm the expiry date on the language test result A retake decision made early, or ruled out
• We Re-run the assessment against the verified criteria and confirm the lead stream The score breakdown in §3, with its figures filled in

Days 31–60

• Who Step Produces
• You Collect the civil documents for all three family members The document checklist in §7, complete
• We Prepare the profile and review every claim against its evidence A profile ready to submit, with the evidence indexed

Days 61–90

• Who Step Produces
• We Submit the profile and set the bridging-permit reminder against the expiry date A filed profile and a dated calendar
• You Keep the funds documented and tell us about any job or address change A file that stays accurate while it waits

An issued report also carries the engine’s day estimate for each step; this sample shows the phases only.

SAMPLE TF-SAMPLE-0001 R708210

§7 Your document checklist

Generated for the recommended pathway, split by when each item is worth obtaining — several of these expire, so getting them early costs money twice.

Ready to prepare now

• Passports for all three family members
• Educational credential assessment report
• Language test result (original report form)
• Reissued employment letters with hours and duties
• Pay statements and tax slips covering the Canadian work period
• Marriage certificate and the child’s birth certificate

Later, once the stage is reached

• Proof of funds refreshed to the date of filing
• Bridging work permit application, timed to the expiry date

§8 Policy monitoring

This report states the date of the rules it is based on. When a change affects the pathways above, we publish it on our dated policy timeline, each entry linked to its official source — so a report that has aged does not quietly become wrong advice.

Important notes

• This report was prepared from the information you provided and published program criteria, and was reviewed and approved by a licensed RCIC before it was issued. It is information for your planning, not a decision on any application.
• Nothing here is a guarantee of eligibility, an invitation, an approval, or a processing time. Immigration programs and their criteria change.
• Every number in this report is produced by fixed rules from your answers and the published criteria — the same rules for everyone.
• Applications are submitted by a person, never automatically by a machine.
• This sample demonstrates the structure and depth of the report only. It is not advice, and it is not about a real person.
