Common Mistakes to Avoid When Applying for Canadian PR.

Worried about your visa rejections and delays? There could be some mistakes that were made while processing a PR attempt. There are certainly some of the common mistakes one should avoid while applying for Canadian PR.

IRCC has made a statement that applicants are still making some of the common mistakes that reduce their chances of getting a PR visa. These mistakes could be rectified if you follow some of the steps cautiously. Understanding these errors can help applicants increase their chances of getting a permanent residence visa.

1.   Understand CRS Score

The CRS score, which is the comprehensive ranking system, is a point-based system, but having a detailed understanding of each point could help you reach your goal. The Canadian PR marks the CRS score at 67 points, where educational qualifications, age, work experience, and language proficiency play an important role. The higher the score, the higher the chances for approval.

Tip: Understand all points beforehand and rearrange.

2.   Incorrect National Occupational Code

This is yet another common error that applicants make during application. Many applicants choose a code that resembles their work profile rather than their actual job duties. Choosing an incorrect NOC could decrease your chances of a PR visa.

Tip: Understand and review all the listed responsibilities.

3.   Inadequate Documents

This is one of the simplest yet most common errors that most applicants make while applying for a PR. Specification of educational qualifications, date of birth, marital status, and birth of a child.

Tip: Recheck all your documents.

4.   Immigration Fee

Often applicants forget to check the update on immigration fees, which makes them lose their chance of getting a PR. They generally pay the outdated amount.

Tip: Always check for the update before paying the immigration fee.

5.   Incomplete or Unqualified work experience

This is yet another mistake that the applicant must avoid while applying for a permanent residence visa. At least one or more years of work experience could fetch you, your long driven dream.

Tip: Take a year or more while working in Canada for easy application.

6.   Proof of Funds

As specified by the immigration program, the applicant must have sufficient funds to ease the process of application. Generally, applicants don’t keep sufficient funds till the approval of their PR visa.

Tip: Always keep sufficient funds in clear and legitimate accounts.

7.   Immigration Interview

This must have been a last stop in the application process, yet the most important aspect in the process of application. The applicant must have proficiency in the English language or French. The applicant must be clear in his thoughts and the purpose of immigration. Knowledge of the country is also an added advantage for the PR application.

Tip: Clear your thoughts and have specific knowledge about the country.

These are some of the common errors that often result in the denial of PR applications. By following these steps, you could navigate through the application process. Consistency, regular efforts, determination, timely action, and preparation will make your immigration journey smooth and fulfill your dream of Canadian PR.
