As per the analysis of our experts, up & down values of CRS scores are not only affecting the mindsets of thousands of aspirants but also raising a feeling that Canada PR will be now only a cup of tea for a few ones. On the other end, the scams like Canadian work permits, LMIA job offer letters, get a Canada PR with 5.5 bands only, etc. are misguiding plenty of people. As a result, the genuine candidates who deserve to be in Canada are either looking to other countries or dropping their plans. In addition, the scams of arrange job offers are growing like a mushroom under the Canadian government’s nose which brings many unskilled migrants but rather controlling this malpractice the government is providing a silent shelter to the responsible agencies.
