Canada · for applicants from Nigeria
Provinces and territories nominate candidates who fit local labour needs. An Express Entry-aligned (enhanced) nomination adds 600 CRS points, effectively guaranteeing an ITA. Base (non-EE) streams are a separate paper-based PR application. Each province sets its own streams and criteria.

A free AI can tell you the rules. Rekoja does the harder part: we verify them against the official government source, prepare the actual application file, catch what gets people refused, and a specialist checks everything before you submit. We stand behind our work.

Based on 12 reported outcomes across all Rekoja cases. This is a look back at past cases, not a prediction. The embassy decides; past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
Many work routes include an interview or credibility check. Done-for-you Premium includes a live interview-preparation session with a specialist: the questions officers actually ask on this route, practised with you before the real thing.
Preparation improves your readiness, not the decision. Practice, never a guarantee.
