The things we would tell you on a call, written down
Free, no email required, and useful whether or not you ever pay us anything.
Every figure that needs a source has one, and anything that changes each year is described rather than printed, because a wrong number on a page like this costs you real money.

What happens next
Read everything here first, then decide whether you need us
Some people read these, do it themselves, and never contact us. That is a fine outcome and it is why the guides have no email wall on them.
- 01Free assessment
- Thirty minutes on video with the person who would actually handle your file. Education, work history, language levels, savings, timeline. We tell you which routes are open to you and which are not.
- 30 minutes, no cost
- 02Written plan with your realistic odds
- Your profile scored against the published criteria, the routes worth pursuing, the total cost including every fee that does not come to us, and our honest read on your chances. Some of these plans say the answer is no.
- Within 2 working days
No obligation to buy anything, and we will not call you repeatedly afterwards.
