Two separate thresholds
Applicants must first meet the Federal Skilled Worker eligibility test and then be competitive within Express Entry. Passing one does not guarantee the other.
Work experience evidence
We analyze the lead statement and main duties of the selected occupation and build evidence that reflects the applicant’s genuine employment history.

No. The 67-point grid determines basic FSW eligibility; the CRS is a separate ranking system used in Express Entry.

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.
