Client background
Mid career professional based in Lagos with eight years in financial services, a master's degree, and strong English proficiency. Family of three planning long term settlement in Ontario.
The challenge
The client needed a competitive Express Entry profile after a self filed application scored below recent draw thresholds. Employer reference letters and passport validity were both expiring within four months, leaving little room for error on a second attempt.
What Avalora did
Week 1
Consultation and eligibility review
We audited the existing Express Entry profile, verified CRS points against current draw trends, and identified credential assessment and language test gaps before any filing.
Weeks 2 to 6
Documentation and profile rebuild
Avalora coordinated WES evaluation, refreshed employer letters to IRCC standards, and rebuilt the profile with corrected work history and dependent details.
Month 3
Submission and draw strategy
We submitted the complete file within the optimal draw window, prepared the client for any document requests, and tracked ITA and processing updates in a single advisory thread.
Months 4 to 7
Post submission and approval
Our team responded to IRCC queries within deadlines, aligned medical and police clearance timing, and confirmed COPR issuance and next steps for arrival planning.
Outcome
Permanent Residency approved on the first complete submission after advisory engagement. The client and family received COPR and began structured pre arrival planning with Avalora.
“I had tried to manage Express Entry alone and kept missing draws. Avalora rebuilt my file properly, told me exactly what was weak, and stayed on every deadline until we had approval. I always knew where we stood.”
