Frequently Asked Questions
General Immigration & Eligibility
A: The CRS is a points-based system used to assess and rank candidates in the Express Entry pool. Points are awarded based on factors like age, education, language proficiency (English and/or French), work experience, and connections to Canada (like a job offer or provincial nomination). A higher CRS score increases your chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence.
A: While there is no strict upper age limit for most economic immigration programs, age is a factor in the CRS score. Candidates generally receive the highest points for age between 20-29. However, other factors like high language proficiency, education, and work experience can compensate for points lost due to age.
A: NOC codes are part of Canada's system to classify jobs. Every occupation has a specific NOC code and description. Correctly identifying your NOC code is crucial as your eligibility for many immigration programs depends on your work experience aligning with the duties and requirements of a specific NOC.
A: A Permanent Resident (PR) Visa allows you to live, work, or study anywhere in Canada indefinitely and and enjoy most social benefits of Canadian citizens. A Temporary Permit (e.g., Work Permit, Study Permit, Visitor Visa) allows you to stay in Canada for a limited period and often with specific conditions (e.g., tied to an employer or a study program). Temporary status can sometimes be a stepping stone to permanent residence.
A: If your application is refused, it's crucial to understand the specific reasons for the refusal. You may be able to address these reasons in a new application, or in certain cases, request a reconsideration of the decision. ANAS CANADA offers services like GCMS Notes analysis to help you understand the refusal and strategize your next steps.
ANAS CANADA Services, Fees & Process
A: ANAS CANADA offers comprehensive support, from initial consultation and personalized strategy development to meticulous document preparation, submission, and ongoing follow-up with IRCC. We offer both an "Application Review Service" if you prefer to manage most of it yourself, or a "Full Handling Service" for end-to-end support.
A: The Application Review Service is for clients who prepare their own application documents but want our experts to meticulously review them for completeness, accuracy, and strategic optimization before submission. The Full Handling Service is our premium, end-to-end option where ANAS CANADA takes complete responsibility for preparing, submitting, and managing your entire immigration application on your behalf.
A: The "Application Review Service" is a one-time, limited-scope service. It concludes once we provide our comprehensive review and feedback on your prepared application. This service does not establish an ongoing client-service provider relationship for submission, communication with IRCC, or post-submission follow-up. For continuous support, our "Full Handling Service" is required.
A: While ANAS CANADA meticulously optimizes every facet of your profile and leverages extensive experience to drastically enhance your chances of success, we cannot legally or ethically guarantee the approval of any immigration application. The final decision rests solely with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) or other relevant authorities.
A: Our fees vary depending on the complexity of your case and the type of service you choose (e.g., Application Review vs. Full Handling). We offer transparent pricing, and details can be found on our "Our Fees" page. For specific case assessments and a personalized quote, we recommend booking an Initial Consultation.
A: No, our professional fees cover our expert consultation and application preparation services. Government processing fees (e.g., application fees, biometric fees, right of permanent residence fee) are separate and paid directly to the Canadian government or its authorized collection agencies. This will be clearly outlined in your service agreement.
A: We are committed to full transparency regarding our fees. All professional fees for our services will be clearly stated in your service agreement. Any potential third-party costs (e.g., language tests, educational credential assessments, medical exams, document translations) are separate from our fees and will be discussed with you upfront as part of your case strategy, so you can budget accordingly.
A: Our refund policy is detailed on our "Our Fees" page. Generally, our professional fees are for the services rendered in preparing and submitting your application, regardless of the outcome. In the unfortunate event of a refusal, our commitment to you extends to analyzing the refusal and advising on next steps (e.g., reapplication or reconsideration), which may incur additional service fees. Please refer to our comprehensive "Our Fees" page for specific details regarding refund eligibility and conditions.
A: The Client Portal is your secure, personalized online account provided for "Full Handling Service" clients. It allows you to conveniently fill out tailored information forms and upload a customized list of documents, guiding you through exactly what is needed for your specific case. It streamlines the document collection process and ensures all required information is gathered efficiently.
A: Your role is crucial! For all services, you are responsible for providing accurate and truthful information, submitting all requested documents in a timely manner through the Client Portal, attending appointments (e.g., biometrics, medical exams), and communicating any changes to your circumstances promptly. We rely on your cooperation to ensure the application is complete and current.

A: The overall immigration process duration varies greatly depending on the program, IRCC's processing times, and the complexity of your case. However, once we have all your documents via the Client Portal for "Full Handling Service," your application is typically ready for submission within 3 business days for most standard cases. We keep you informed about IRCC's estimated processing times and provide continuous updates on your specific application's progress. We manage our internal timelines efficiently, but external processing times by government bodies are beyond our direct control.
A: While most of our services are efficiently delivered online through our Client Portal for global accessibility, we do offer in-person consultations by appointment at our office location. Please contact us to arrange a suitable time.
A: If you have paid the consultation fee but did not receive a confirmation email, first, please ensure that you have entered your email address correctly at the time of booking and check your spam or junk folder.
