📖 The Full Story

Rahul had 8 years at TCS as a Java developer. His IELTS was 7.5 but his CRS sat at 478 — below the Express Entry cutoff of 491. He was frustrated watching CRS cutoffs rise and his profile age out. When he came to us, we analyzed his profile against all 11 PNP programs. Saskatchewan's SINP Tech Stream didn't require a job offer, had a lower threshold, and Rahul's Java skills matched their in-demand occupation list. We helped him apply to SINP directly. Within 4 months, he got a Saskatchewan nomination (+600 CRS points). His new CRS was 1078, guaranteed ITA in the very next draw. 5 months later, his PR was confirmed. He flew to Regina in April 2025, took a contract job, and later moved to Calgary after his 2-year Saskatchewan commitment.

1.CRS of 478 was below Express Entry cutoffs of 490+
