5 common mistakes of immigrants and ways to correct them

1. Incorrect choice of the main profession

Error. When completing the profile in Express Entry, an occupation for which there is insufficient work experience is selected as the primary NOC code. If there is little work experience in the main occupation or that NOC code does not fall under the TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3 category, the risk of rejection will be very high.

Decision. When completing your profile, list only occupations for which you have had at least one year (within the past ten years) of full-time employment as your NOC primary code. However, you should be aware that listing occupations as NOC will not affect your future employment prospects in Canada. Because those who are permanent residents of Canada can work in any occupation they wish.

2. no evidence that you intend to reside outside of Quebec

Quebec immigration program. But the reality is that just because you are currently living in Quebec does not mean that you cannot apply for federal immigration and later move to any other part of Canada. Becoming a permanent resident of Canada gives you the right to live and work anywhere in Canada. This right is protected by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

3. Waiting too long to send documents

Error. Provincial immigration programs change very quickly. This includes, for example, the list of professions in demand. Therefore, the slow collection and sending of all necessary documents may deprive you of the opportunity to participate in the program.
