Navigate visas with clarity. Our immigration and visa tools help you check points scores, estimate eligibility, budget for application fees and plan timelines for moves abroad. Immigration rules are complex and change often — these calculators turn the key numbers into clear, instant answers so you can plan your next step with confidence.
Plan your move with real numbers
Most skilled migration programmes run on points: age, education, work experience and language scores each contribute to a total that decides whether you qualify. A points calculator lets you test scenarios — what if you retake your English test, or what if your partner’s skills add to the total? — before you spend thousands on an application. Knowing your score early shapes every decision that follows.
What our immigration tools cover
- Points calculators: estimate your score for popular skilled-migration programmes from age, qualifications, experience and language results.
- Eligibility checkers: quick yes/no guidance on whether you meet the headline requirements of common visa routes.
- Fee calculators: total up application fees, health surcharges, biometrics and priority-service costs for the whole family.
- Timeline estimators: work out realistic processing windows and plan when to resign, ship belongings or book flights.
- Language score converters: translate between IELTS, PTE, TOEFL and the CLB levels many programmes use.
Budget beyond the visa fee
The headline application fee is only part of the cost. Health surcharges, English tests, credential assessments, police certificates, medical exams and document translations add up quickly — a family of four can easily spend several thousand dollars before the visa is even granted. Our fee calculators add every line item so the true cost never surprises you.
Immigration tools FAQs
How are immigration points calculated?
Each programme assigns points for factors like age, education level, skilled work experience and language proficiency, sometimes with bonuses for a job offer or regional sponsorship. Add your points across all factors and compare against the programme’s minimum threshold or recent invitation cut-offs.
What English score do I need for skilled migration?
It depends on the programme. Australia’s points test awards points from competent English (IELTS 6.0 equivalent) upward, with more points for higher bands. Canada’s Express Entry converts language results to CLB levels, with CLB 9 unlocking significantly more points. Always check the current thresholds — they change.
How much does a visa application really cost?
Far more than the headline fee. Add health surcharges, English tests, skills assessments, medicals, police checks, translations and priority processing. Partners and children usually multiply most fees. Budget the full total before you start, not after.
How long does visa processing take?
Processing times vary from weeks to over a year depending on the visa type, country and your circumstances. Official published ranges are medians, not guarantees — plan for the upper end and never book non-refundable travel until the visa is granted.
Can I rely on these tools instead of an immigration lawyer?
These tools are for planning and estimation, not legal advice. Immigration law is detailed and fact-specific — for complex cases, prior refusals or tight deadlines, consult a registered migration agent or immigration lawyer in the relevant country.
