Are you licensed to give immigration advice?

For Canada and Australia, immigration advice and representation are regulated professions. Skillvelop provides documentation support, eligibility assessment against published criteria, and application preparation. We do not provide regulated immigration advice for those countries and we do not act as your representative. Where your case needs regulated advice, we will say so and tell you to instruct a licensed practitioner. We do not take a referral fee for that.

What happens if my visa is refused?

We read the refusal letter with you and tell you plainly whether the reason is fixable, and whether the mistake was in the file we helped you prepare. If the refusal was caused by an error we made in your documentation, we redo the file at no charge. That is written into the refund and scope policy, not just said on a call. If the refusal was caused by something outside the file, such as a change in policy, a credibility finding at interview or a fact about your profile that we told you about in the written assessment, the fee stands. We will tell you honestly whether reapplying is worth it, including when the answer is no.

I have already applied and it went wrong. Can you help?

Sometimes. Send us the refusal letter or the application before the assessment call and we will tell you whether the problem is fixable, whether reapplying makes sense, and whether you need a licensed practitioner rather than us. We do not handle appeals or judicial review.

What do you do with my documents and personal data?

We store what we need to do the work, we do not sell it, and we do not pass it to universities, employers or agents without your instruction on each occasion. The privacy page sets out what we hold, for how long, and how to ask us to delete it.

Yes, under the conditions written in the refund and scope policy, which is a public page you can read before you pay. In short: a full refund within seven days of paying, as long as we have not yet delivered the first written piece of work for your package. After that, a partial refund based on which milestones we have already completed. Government fees, test fees and any third party charge you have already paid are never refundable by us, because we never held that money. A visa refusal, an admission rejection or a test score below your target is not a refund trigger. We are paid to prepare your file and to tell you the truth about your chances, not to control a decision that belongs to a government or a university.

Visa and documentation

Documentation support, from people who have read the actual rules

Most visa refusals we have read about are not caused by a weak profile. They are caused by a file that contradicts itself: a date on a payslip that does not match the reference letter, a bank statement that starts too late, a document scanned at the wrong size and quietly rejected by the portal.

You can do this yourself. Governments publish the criteria in full and most people are capable of reading them. What is hard is checking your own file with fresh eyes, in the order the officer will read it.

That is what this service is. Not advice about what to want, but a careful second pair of eyes on what you have built.

Assessment: Free, 30 minutes, written up

Regulated advice, and what we are not

Immigration advice and representation are regulated professions in Canada and Australia. Skillvelop is not licensed in either country, does not provide regulated immigration advice for them, and does not act as anyone's representative.

What we provide is documentation support, eligibility assessment against published criteria, and application preparation. You submit every application yourself, in your own name. Where your case needs regulated advice, we will tell you so and point you to a licensed practitioner, and we take no referral fee for doing that.

The distinction that matters

Preparing a file is not the same as advising on a case

The line is worth understanding, because it tells you what you are buying and it tells you when to go elsewhere.

What we do

Read the published criteria for your route and check your situation against them, in writing.
Build the document checklist and review every document you collect.
Complete forms alongside you on a shared call, so you know what is in your own application.
Tell you where your file is weak before you submit it.
Tell you when your case is beyond what we can properly do.

What requires a licensed practitioner

Advice on how the law applies to the particular facts of your case in Canada or Australia.
Acting as your representative with an immigration authority.
Appeals, judicial review, or responding formally to a refusal.
Anything involving a misrepresentation finding, an inadmissibility or a re-entry bar.
Any situation where your honest answer to a form question is complicated.

If you are in any of these situations, tell us on the assessment call and we will say so rather than sell you a package.

Fit

Who this is for, and who it is not for

It costs both of us less if you find out here.

This is for you if

Handling your own application and wanting the paperwork checked properly
Applying for a work, study or family route where you already know which one
Able to obtain your own documents, with time to do it in the right order
Comfortable submitting in your own name, because that is the only way we work

This is not for you if

Needing legal representation, an appeal, or regulated immigration advice for Canada or Australia
Wanting someone to submit an application under their name on your behalf
Looking for help presenting a document that is not accurate
Needing a decision within weeks

What you get

Every deliverable, numbered

This list is what goes on your scope document, made specific to your case. Nothing else is added to the price later.

01
An eligibility assessment against the published criteria
Your route's own published requirements, checked one by one against your actual situation, in writing.
02
A checklist built for your route, not a generic list
Ordered by how long each item takes to obtain, with the ones that expire flagged so you do not collect them too early.
03
A review pass on every document you collect
With written comments. Format, dates, naming, file size and the consistency of one document against another.
04
Forms completed alongside you on a shared call
So you know exactly what has been entered, and so you can answer for it later.
05
A cover letter that explains your file
Officers read hundreds of these. A short letter that says who you are and why the file looks the way it does saves them guessing.
06
A written note on the weak points in your file
Before you submit, not after a refusal. If something in your file is likely to be questioned, you should hear it from us first.
