Cracking the Code: My Pathway to Canada PR Visa
My story goes back a decade ago when I worked in Canada for a year. My company sent me on site job for a Canadian client. Of course, I couldn’t use this experience for my Canada PR as it is more than 10 years ago. But what this experience gave me was a desire to relocate to this amazing country. Kind and courteous people, diverse culture and a sense of belonging. Thanks to Sam (9740245941) from SABINE IMMIGRATION that dream was realized recently.
I came to India and continued my work. After a year, I changed to another job. I also got married. Now might be the right time to talk about financials. Me and my wife both have been working, so we could manage financially. But after kids, it was challenging. My wife has always been supportive. After a long thought, we realized staying back in India does not improve our financial condition, so, we decided to move abroad. I was in a dilemma as to whom to approach for Canada PR.
Big Mistake
One of the big mistakes I did was associating with a so called Big name in consultancy. Though we knew the process by our own research, there was absolutely no inputs or suggestions from the consultancy. To tell you about my designation, I am a Software Engineer having more than 10 years of experience. I got my WES evaluated as Master’s (for my M. tech). I wrote my IELTS and I got Speaking — 7, Writing -6.5, Reading — 6.5 and Listening — 7.5. This is considered as CLB 8 (not the overall band, but CLB Level). They filed my Express Entry for the sake of it, though my options were in PNP. Nothing happened and I finally lost hope after 10 months.
Accident Discovery
I was going through an article from Quora the other day and happened to see an article which spoke about how SABINE IMMIGRATION helped them. Out of curiosity, I dialed their number (9740245941). The first thing he asked me was why am I still looking for another consultancy, when I have already applied from someone else. Told him about our profile and also about the services we have been receiving from my previous consultancy. Of course before speaking to him, I had already spoken to a lot of them, but this guys counselling had a very different approach at looking at PNP. Most of us don’t know a lot about PNP’s. That changed my perspective about PNPs completely. I spoke to my wife about it. She said if I am confident about Sabine Immigration. After a day or two, I decided to go ahead with Sabine based on their accurate information.

The trick is the NOC. They really did a thorough examination of my total experience.The team worked hard and submitted my profile in the Express Entry pool and more importantly PNP nomination, where I have received a nomination letter from Saskatchewan.
The process of Saskatchewan is quite different from the Express entry criteria as Saskatchewan has different point selections factors (https://www.saskatchewan.ca/residents/moving-to-saskatchewan/live-in-saskatchewan/by-immigrating/saskatchewan-immigrant-nominee-program/browse-sinp-programs/applicants-international-skilled-workers/assess-your-eligibility)where I meet 68 points and got selected by Saskatchewan on November 2020 draw where the points cut off was 68 for Saskatchewan.

Saskatchewan held a new round of invitations on November 3.
However, I was unaware of the process, and the team explained to me how we can work to get it processed as my profile came under license category based on my software profession. The team helped me to apply for the licensing process which almost took time till a few months back.
At last, after a long wait, I was happy that I got the licensing done for my work. Now we have submitted the Visa application and waiting for my COPR request.
I thank Sabine immigration for helping me in the entire process and motivate me successfully. I have already recommended a few of my friends who were interested to migrate.
