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.
Free. The documents this route asks for and the all-in cost, in your currency. No signup to see them.
We carry Canada and the work route over from this page. The first screen shows both so you can change them, then it is two answers about you and picking your route. Your full profile is checked later, with your desk team.
Sourced answers to the most-searched questions about this corridor are being verified and will appear here. Start the free assessment or ask the desk directly.
Real, consented, initials-only outcomes with days-to-decision will appear here as cases close. 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.
