Look for pathway signals

Certain features of your situation may point toward particular areas worth investigating.

For example:

Important: A pathway signal does not mean you are eligible.

What if more than one pathway looks possible?

That is possible and congratulations!

The purpose of this guide is not to force you into one program.

It is to help you identify the pathway areas that deserve attention first.

The next step is to determine:

  • Which requirements apply to you

  • What evidence you need

  • What potential issues need to be examined

  • Whether one pathway — or several — should be considered in greater depth

When professional review may be useful

Some situations deserve closer examination before choosing a pathway.

Examples may include:

  • A previous refusal

  • A status issue

  • Unusual or complicated work history

  • Multiple possible pathways

  • Competing immigration strategies

  • Other circumstances that make the pathway less straightforward

In these situations, professional review before choosing a pathway may help clarify what needs to be examined.
