Check my eligibility

Share the basics below. We’ll reply with what you likely need next, including PAL/TAL, funds review, SOP focus, and any red flags to fix before filing.

Basic requirements

Most approvals come down to four things: School, Finances, Study Plan, and Admissibility. If you’re unsure which part is weak, contact us and we’ll tell you exactly what needs work before submission.

1) School & intake

Letter of Acceptance (LOA) from a DLI
Program details, tuition, and start date
PAL/TAL if required for your category

2) Financial proof

Funds for tuition and living expenses
Source of funds should be traceable
Sponsor evidence if someone is supporting you

3) Study plan (SOP)

Why the program fits your background
Realistic career outcome and timeline
Explanation of gaps, travel, or past refusals

4) Admissibility

Truthful forms and complete disclosures
Medical exam or police certificates if required
No inconsistencies across your documents

Important:

If PAL/TAL is required and missing, the application may be returned instead of processed. We confirm this before submission.

What you should have ready

Send what you already have. We’ll tell you what is missing, what needs improvement, and how to present the file properly before filing.

Documents

Passport bio page
LOA and PAL/TAL if already issued
Education documents and transcripts

Financials

Bank statements or savings proof
