Step one is not the visa. Step one is the interview call.

Everything in this guide about permits, thresholds and documents only comes into play after an employer in Canada has chosen you. Nobody applies for a work permit without an offer letter, and nobody gets an offer letter without an interview. The order is fixed:

  1. Step 1 · what EDZER does
    A strong résumé, a strong LinkedIn, and a job search strategy
  2. Step 2
    Interview calls from employers in Canada
  3. Step 3
    An offer, and the eligibility checks that come with it
  4. Step 4
    Only now: the visa, the permit and the documents below

Express Entry draws have been category-based and the CEC cut-off sits above 500, so a Canadian job offer or Canadian experience is what moves your score. Employers know this and receive a very high volume of applications from abroad. Step one is the whole game, and it is the part almost everyone under-invests in.

How a résumé is expected to look in Canada

Canadian convention: no photograph, no personal details, two pages, achievement-led. Canadian employers look for Canadian-style phrasing and local references where possible.

What EDZER does for step one
  • Your résumé, rewritten for the country. In the format its recruiters expect, by a human writer, with a 90 to 100 ATS score guaranteed
  • Your LinkedIn profile, rebuilt. Every section written so recruiters searching there find you and read on
  • Profiles on that country's job portals. Set up and optimised to match, so every application reads the same
  • A job search strategy document. Which roles, which employers, which portals, in what order, for your profile
  • An interview prep kit. For the roles you are targeting, so the calls turn into offers
  • Guidance on where and how to apply for jobs. From our team, so you are not guessing which door to knock on
What EDZER does not do
  • Visa or work permit applications, or immigration advice of any kind
  • Document attestation or credential evaluation
  • Placing you in a job or promising an offer: the recruiter decides selection, on your profile

Our job is to make sure you are presented in the strongest way possible, so that the interview calls come. What happens in the interview is yours.

59,000+ clients across 24+ countries 90 to 100 ATS score guaranteed Delivered in 4 to 6 working days 48-hour review window for changes

The route in, and the numbers that decide it

Free

One in four new Canadian permanent residents is Indian, but the door has narrowed sharply since 2023: no general Express Entry draws, low-wage sponsorship shut in the big cities, and intake cut every year to 2028. This is what works now.
