Under 35?Your age is the edge.
Canada scores every Express Entry profile, and age is one of the heaviest factors. Right now you hold points that quietly fade with every year. This is the window, and we help you turn it into a profile that gets invited.
Your biggest head start, built in.
Express Entry is points based, and a short list of factors decides your rank. Age is one Canada weighs heavily, and it favours you right now.
Near maximum age points
The age factor sits high and steady while you are in your twenties, the strongest position in the whole pool.
The slow leak begins
The score does not crash, it eases off, a little every birthday. Quiet, but it adds up fast.
The sharpest drop
This is where waiting hurts most. Under 35, you are well clear of it, so the smart move is to act now.
Points peak young, then taper.
This is the shape of the age factor in Express Entry: high and flat through your twenties, then easing down year after year.
Illustration of the age factor only, not a score calculator. Exact points shift with the rules, but the direction never does.
The pool ranks you.
Express Entry does not take everyone who qualifies. It ranks them, draws a line, and invites only those above it.
The line moves with every draw. Your job is to climb above it, and under 35 you start with a real boost. We help you build the rest.
Time is the one lever you cannot buy back.
Three things lift an Express Entry score the most, and each one takes time. Time is exactly what your age points are spending.
Build your language band
Your IELTS score is the biggest lever you control. We prepare you for it as a British Council test centre.
Get your degree assessed
An Educational Credential Assessment turns your Nigerian qualification into points Canada recognises.
Skilled work experience
Months in a skilled role add up. The earlier you count them, the more they are worth alongside your age.
Start now and your age points and your built points move in your favour together. Wait, and you climb the same hill while the age points slide the other way.
Age is fixed. The rest is yours.
You cannot change your age, so put it to work by lifting everything around it. These are the levers, by how much you control them.
Language, the lever you move fastest
The single biggest factor you fully control. Every band lifts your rank, and a strong score feeds bonus points too. We focus here first.
Education
Your highest credential, assessed through an ECA. How it combines with language shapes a real chunk of your score.
Skilled experience
Skilled months worked, here or abroad. Foreign experience counts, and Canadian experience counts for more.
French, a sibling, a nomination
A French result, a sibling settled in Canada, or a provincial nomination can each add points on top.
Two roads, one finish line.
You do not have to study in Canada first. There are two honest routes to permanent residence, and under 35 both are open to you.
Apply direct from Nigeria
Study, then stay
We get you ready.
Apply direct or study your way in, the groundwork decides the outcome, and the groundwork is what we are built for.
A PR aware plan
We help you choose the route, levers and timing that make the most of being under 35, from your very first step.
Strengthen what you control
We prepare you for the language score and guide the credential steps that quietly decide your ranking later.
Guide every step
We walk you through each stage and check every piece. You submit your own Express Entry profile, with us beside you.
We do not sell visas and we do not guarantee outcomes. We prepare you and your profile so the points fall your way.
Fast, if the profile is ready.
How long permanent residence takes depends on the road. One can be months. The other, a few years. Both are honest.
The wait is in the invitation, which is about your score, not the paperwork. A strong under 35 profile can go from submission to PR inside a year.
Slower, but it builds the Canadian credential and experience that lift your score and soften the landing.
