Express Entry & 2026 category draws
2026 category: General draws
Not inside a 2026 category. Canada's new senior-manager category requires Canadian work experience and will not assist offshore applicants. You will need an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) and qualifying language scores. We help optimise your CRS and prepare a document-ready profile.
Why Management Consultant applications most often stall
Internal operational-management roles are frequently submitted as consulting. VETASSESS expects advisory engagements delivered to clients, with defined scope and recommendations, rather than line management.
