We work with applications from undergraduate through PhD level.

Student Visas — FAQ

Which countries do you handle student visas for?

UK, USA, Canada, Australia primarily, plus Germany, France, Ireland, New Zealand, and Malaysia as commonly requested. Tell us your university acceptance and destination and we will confirm what is needed for that specific country.

How long does the application take?

UK Student Route: 3 weeks standard, 5 working days priority. USA F-1: depends mostly on interview wait time — currently very long in Pakistan for new applicants (often 6–12 months at the Karachi/Islamabad consulates), so apply 8+ months before your intake. Canada Study Permit via SDS: 20 calendar days target. Australia subclass 500: 4–8 weeks typical. Always start early.

Do you guarantee visa approval?

No agent can guarantee visa approval — the decision rests with the embassy. What we guarantee is a complete, error-free application with all supporting documentation in the correct format. Most rejections come from incomplete or inconsistent documents, which we eliminate. We also brief you on what to say at the visa interview.

What is the financial requirement?

Varies by country. UK Student Route requires £1,334/month (London) or £1,023/month (outside London) for up to 9 months, held in your account for 28 consecutive days ending no more than 31 days before the application date. Canada needs CAD 20,635 for first year living expenses plus tuition. Australia needs AUD 24,505 (2024 update). USA requires you to demonstrate financial capacity at the interview rather than meeting a fixed number. Your Regional Representative will give exact figures for your case.

Do I need IELTS?

Most English-medium destinations require an English-proficiency test: IELTS (Academic for most), TOEFL iBT, PTE Academic, or Duolingo English Test for some institutions. UK requires a SELT (UKVI-approved test) specifically — typically UKVI IELTS or PTE Academic. We help you choose the right test and book it.

Do I need a TB test for the UK?

Yes. Pakistani applicants applying for UK Student Route MUST have a TB test from a UK-approved clinic in Pakistan before the application. Approved clinics are in Islamabad, Karachi, and Lahore. We book this appointment for you as part of the package.

Can my family come with me?

Depends on the destination and your level of study. UK Student Route allows dependants only for postgraduate research courses (PhD/MRes) or government-sponsored students (since 2024 rule change). Canada and Australia have generous family routes that allow spouses and dependent children. USA F-2 visa is for F-1 dependants but does not allow the spouse to work. We can advise based on your specific program.

What is SDS (Study Direct Stream) for Canada?

SDS is Canada's expedited study-permit programme for students from select countries including Pakistan. To qualify you need: a Letter of Acceptance from a DLI, IELTS 6.0+ in each band, payment of first-year tuition, a CAD 20,635 GIC (Guaranteed Investment Certificate) from a Canadian bank, biometric submission, and a medical exam. Target processing: 20 calendar days, much faster than the regular Study Permit route.
