Immigration FAQs
Short answers to the questions we hear most. Grouped by topic, with links to the full pages.
Getting started
Which country should I choose? The one whose system favours your age, occupation and language. Our free assessment compares them for you.
Am I too old to immigrate? Points-tested PR in Canada and Australia favours people under 35 and closes at 45 in Australia. Germany, the UK and the Gulf have no such limits for workers with a job offer.
Do I need a job offer? Not for Canada or Australia PR, or Germany’s Opportunity Card. You do for most work visas.
Do I need IELTS? For almost every PR and work route, a language test is required. Germany’s routes use German, English or both.
Costs and money
How much does immigration cost? Government fees, tests, assessments, medicals and proof of funds, which vary by country and family size. See each country page.
What are settlement funds? Savings you must show to prove you can support yourself. Canada sets an amount by family size. Germany requires a blocked account for job seekers and students.
Is your fee refundable? Our refund terms are set out in your service agreement and in our refund policy.
Process
How long does it take? From a few weeks for Gulf work visas to a year or more for PR.
Can my family come with me? Yes, on most PR and skilled work visas.
What if my visa is refused? We review the refusal reasons with you and advise whether to reapply, appeal or change route.
