How VG Immigration prepares this application
- Free eligibility screen. Dimple Verma, RCIC-IRB #R708308 reviews your CV, language scores, and education to confirm you meet Alberta Opportunity Stream thresholds.
- Document checklist. We prepare a personalised checklist (reference letters in IRCC format, ECA report, language test booking, proof of funds if required).
- Application drafting. Forms, submission letters, and the legal opinion supporting your eligibility under the AAIP regulations.
- Submission & monitoring. We submit through the correct portal and monitor for additional document requests until final decision.
Common reasons applications are refused
- Wage offered below the prevailing wage for the NOC in the province.
- Reference letters that don't match IRCC's required format (job title, dates, hours, duties verbatim from the NOC profile).
- Inconsistent work history between the application, the resume, and the work permit history.
