Canada: Express Entry, language, and service records

Follows Canadian immigration through Express Entry — from CRS points to choosing between a work permit and a permanent residence application. Looks more closely than most at how to prove work experience and qualifications when employer paperwork is missing, and why a language certificate often outweighs experience. What a reader takes away here is not general advice but an actual sequence: which evidence can stand in for a missing reference letter, how language points are calculated, and when it makes sense to file an IRCC request about military service records. It also breaks down the difference between TEF and TCF and the path to CLB 5 and CLB 7 in French, both of which move the needle under Canadian Experience Class. There's room for employer-driven routes too — LMIA, work permits, and related options — with attention to where candidates typically get stuck. Family sponsorship and social services in Canada show up as well, treated as part of one route rather than a standalone service.
