Note that the information provided must be accurate and verifiable. Inaccurate or imprecise information could lead to the refusal of your application at some point in the selection process.

Moreover, the points attributed to the selection factors and criteria are re-evaluated during each regulatory step of the application processing procedure, particularly if:

• your personal situation changes (change of marital status, for example)
• changes are made to the list of occupations in demand or preferred educational background.

If your application does not include all of the required documents, you will have 60 days to send them to the office processing your application. This period is calculated based on the date of the notice of receipt specifying the missing documents. If all of the documents have not been received within this timeframe, your application will be refused.
