Shoka and Navid are married. Shoka is 29 years old and Navid is 32. For language, Shoka had CLB 10 and Navid had CLB 9 across the board. They both have a Bachelor鈥檚 degree in Computer Science, each has more than three years of foreign work experience and neither has worked or studied in Canada. Shoka submitted a profile as the principal applicant and their score of 443 would have earned them an ITA in today鈥檚 draw.
