Services FAQ
Are your services expensive?
Whether something is expensive or not is a relative issue. If you need it, and you cannot get it elsewhere, certainly a certain price point would not be a problem especially if you can get exactly what you want. After all, if you must absolutely have it, chances are there will be others like you with just such needs. This is when it becomes expensive.
In essence, market pricing ultimately determines the appropriate price for the product / service that you want.

Any illegalities involved?
No. We don't mislead people. We don't provide false information. All we do is to provide polish and consulting advice to our clients, so that they stand a better chance in a highly competitive process. That said, if your situation requires a bit of grease, and we do understand that sometimes that is what the client wants, we will do a referrral to the appropriate service providers but we do not provide any unethical services ourselves.

How efficient and what is the scope of your staff? How can I be sure that you can handle the volume? I just don't want any undue delays on my application.
We ahere to strict time guidelines and we have a staff of 12 (all whom speaks multiple languages, including Japanese, Korean, Spanish and of course everyone speaks English fluently) that can process your applications quickly and efficiently. If volume necessitates an even larger staff, we have long standing relationships with various educational networks that will provide us with short-term staff quickly and efficiently.
In short, "bodies" to do the work was, is and never will be an issue.
As for transparency, we are working on a MySQL database where one would be able to track in real time the status of their application online.

Is it true that immigration is an option?
Yes. Our deluxe package will help guide you each and every step of the way towards getting your greencard (USA) or maple leaf card (Canada). It is a process and does takes time, but both these countries want young, motivated and well educated students to become citizens of their country. Consequently, it is a real possibility that you could immigrate, work and study at resident tuition rates, all at the same time.

What is the impact to my life if I bundled immigration along with your standard consulting advice?
Immigration is a big step. It means you are moving permanently to a different country. It is certainly a life-changing experience. That being said, once you become a permanent resident, your college tuition decreases by at least 50%. Every school is different of course, but 50% savings is a good rule of thumb.
Don't forget also that Canada has very good heath and retirement benefits, and so if you make Canada your home and you grow old or fall sick, this country will take care of you.
The United States have some ways to go towards rivaling Canada, but it still beats a lot of country in Asia when it comes to retirement security and healthcare standards.

How long does immigration takes?
This question is best served through our immigration consultants. But in a nutshell, it takes 6 months to become nominated as a skilled worker. Once you are nominated, you will be able to work legally in Canada. In this phase, you could physically travel to Canada on a Temporary Workers Permit (TWP). The TWP is typically issued for at least 1 year.
Simultaneously as this is happening, your application is sent to the Federal government for permanent residency approval, that is a separate and concurrent process that takes another 8 - 11 months. to complete. In all, you should expect a total of ~15 months to permanent residency.
