Before entering the pool
We review language results, education equivalency, occupational history, settlement funds and family composition to confirm which claims can be made and later proven.
Not sure this is the right pathway?
A focused assessment reviews your complete facts before you commit time or fees.
After an invitation
The permanent residence application must substantiate the profile. Employment evidence, police certificates, civil records, medical requirements and proof of funds must be complete and consistent.
Improving a profile
When a score is not competitive, the responsible approach is a practical improvement plan rather than a promise—language, French ability, additional education, Canadian experience or provincial options may be relevant.
Where strategy matters
A strong file begins before the profile is created. We review the program rules that apply to you, identify points that can be documented, and flag inconsistencies that could create risk later.

A file designed for scrutiny
After an invitation, the application must substantiate the claims in the profile. Employment letters, education records, police certificates, proof of funds and civil-status documents are organized and reviewed before submission.
If your score is not competitive yet
We provide a realistic improvement plan—language testing, additional education, Canadian experience, French-language ability or provincial options—without promising an invitation or approval.

Frequently asked questions
What is a CRS score?
The Comprehensive Ranking System assigns points for factors including age, education, language, Canadian work experience and qualifying additional factors.
Does meeting the basic criteria guarantee approval?
No. Eligibility is only the first question. Selection, documentary sufficiency, admissibility and the decision-maker’s assessment all affect the outcome.
Can requirements change while I prepare?
Yes. Immigration programs, forms, fees and instructions change regularly. Current official requirements should be confirmed before filing.
Can Azimi Immigration assess my situation?
Yes. A consultation can identify the facts that matter, available routes, material risks and the scope of professional assistance that may be appropriate.
Does entering the pool guarantee an invitation?
No. Eligibility to enter the pool is different from receiving an invitation. Invitation thresholds and selection categories change over time.
Can you review a profile I created myself?
Yes. A focused professional review can examine eligibility, declared points, work history and document readiness before submission or after an invitation.
How long does Express Entry take?
Timing depends on profile competitiveness, invitation rounds, document readiness and IRCC processing. We discuss the stages and variables during your consultation.
