Canada Express Entry 2026: 10 Checks to Make Before Paying an Agent
Before spending money on an agent or immigration package, first check whether you may qualify for Canada’s Express Entry system. Review your language test results, education assessment, occupation code, work experience and the documents you can genuinely support. Eligibility is not the same as receiving an invitation. Confirm the requirements for the Federal Skilled Worker, Canadian Experience Class or Skilled Trades programs, calculate your CRS score correctly, and review current category-based selection rules through official Canadian immigration guidance. Do not claim work experience you cannot prove, alter dates or exaggerate job duties. An invitation is not permanent residence approval, and applicants must submit complete evidence within the required deadline after an invitation. Use this checklist to identify what is missing before you pay anyone. Be wary of anyone promising a guaranteed invitation or approval. My preliminary assessments on this forum are free, and I will never contact you first through private messaging or invite you to an external group.
