The number of individuals accepted as PRs every year has dwindled by half. Despite that, the demand for the SPR continues to rise, making the need to submit an outstanding profile even more urgent.
While all candidates have to meet the standard criteria, officials have still kept the decision-making process confidential. Although you are an eligible candidate, how can you ensure your application measures up?
The process of submitting a long list of documents via the online portal is a lengthy and demanding task. An omission of a single certification or declaration form can render your application void.
