Please read this before relying on anything on VisaCalc (visacalc.org).

Not official, not legal advice

VisaCalc is an independent site. It is not connected to, endorsed by or paid by any government, embassy, visa application centre, university or education agent. Our calculators, checklists and guides are general information only. They are not legal or immigration advice, and they do not replace the official guidance for your visa.

Results are estimates

A calculator result depends on the answers you give and on the rules as we last checked them. It cannot take account of every detail of your case, and the officer who decides your application uses the official rules, not our tools. A high score, a "likely eligible" result or a passed checklist does not guarantee that a visa, permit or invitation will be granted.

Rules and fees change

Governments change immigration rules, fees, points tables, salary thresholds and processing times often, sometimes with little or no notice. Each page shows the date it was last checked and links to its official sources. Before you apply or pay anything, check the current figure on the official government page.

Draw results, wait times and exchange rates

Express Entry draw data, US visa appointment wait times and similar figures are copied from official pages and can be out of date by the time you read them. Amounts converted into other currencies use recent exchange rates and are approximate. Your bank's rate and fees will differ.

Get advice on your own case

For advice on your own situation, use a licensed adviser: a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC) or lawyer in Canada; an IAA-registered (formerly OISC) adviser or a solicitor in the UK; a registered migration agent or lawyer in Australia; or a licensed immigration adviser in New Zealand. In India, check that any education agent you use is genuine and registered with the universities they claim to represent. Our agent and offer checker can help you spot warning signs.

Advertising

VisaCalc shows Google AdSense advertisements. Ads are chosen by Google, not by us, and an advert appearing on a page is not a recommendation. Advertisers have no say in what we write.
