Step by step
1. Move Planner (full workflow)
Best for a guided path: profile → country shortlist → pathways → costs → My Plan. Links into the tools below as you progress.
Move Planner2. Visa eligibility quiz
Answer a short questionnaire about nationality, goal, and timeline. Results suggest countries and visas to read next — not an approval guarantee. Save or email results.
Eligibility quiz3. Pathway finder
Search global pathways by origin nationality. Useful when you are open to several destinations.
Pathway finder4. Best country for me
Weight factors like cost, language, safety, and job market. Get a ranked list with links to country guides.
Best country wizard5. Corridor fit score
From your origin country, goal, and budget sensitivity, rank destination corridors with links to move guides and calculators.
Corridor fit6. Compare countries (2 or 3)
Two-country compare uses living-cost and profile signals. Compare 3 countries when you are shortlisting finalists — copy or email the table.
Compare 2 countries7. Compare 3 countries
Pick three destinations in one table, then open pairwise comparisons or country hubs for visa detail.
Compare 3 countries8. Cost calculator & proof of funds
Estimate relocation spend for a corridor, then score proof-of-funds coverage against published visa financial requirements (when available) plus a living-cost buffer. Save financial readiness into My Plan.
Proof of funds9. Visa timeline planner
Choose a published visa and optional landing date to generate application-to-arrival milestones (verify timing on official portals).
Visa timeline10. Document pack builder
Build a printable checklist from visa required documents plus arrival tasks — separate from the My Plan document checklist (browser-only) at /plan/.
Document pack builder11. Language requirement checker
See whether your destination commonly requires language tests, which visas mention language rules, and profile language notes when imported.
Language checker12. Embassy & consulate finder
Jump to the embassy directory for your passport country inside your destination (e.g. Pakistan in Canada). Verify hours and appointments officially.
Embassy finder13. Scam pattern checker
Describe an offer or message in plain language, or paste a suspicious URL — we extract the hostname and match against published scam alerts. Screening aid only, not a guarantee of safety.
Scam checker14. Policy change alerts
Subscribe with your email and destination countries for updates on visa, law, and scam content (same list as weekly migration alerts).
Policy alerts15. AI letter generator
Draft editable SOP, motivation, cover, or purpose-of-visit letters. Prefills from My Plan when available — rewrite for honesty before submitting.
Letter generator16. Refusal letter analysis
Paste a refusal letter to extract grounds, missing evidence, and next steps. Save the analysis to My Plan; seek licensed advice when rights or appeals are involved.
Refusal analysis17. Interview simulator
Practice multi-turn interview answers with destination/visa question banks, formatted officer prompts, coaching tips, and a scorecard. Save sessions in this browser, to My Plan, or email a transcript.
Interview simulator18. Arrival checklist
Country-specific task lists for after you land — documents, banking, housing, and registration reminders.
Arrival checklists19. Income tax calculator
Estimate take-home pay for 175+ jurisdictions (countries, US states, Canadian provinces). Educational wage models only — not filing software. Start from the hub or open a specific jurisdiction page.
Tax calculator20. Tax comparisons
Nearly 1,000 side-by-side net-pay pages for migrant corridors and domestic moves (e.g. California vs Texas). Use the same gross salary on both sides when comparing offers.
Tax compare21. Tax guides
1,100+ orientation guides on residency, salary bands, contractors, and cross-border quirks — linked back to calculators. Read methodology for what is in and out of scope.
Tax guides22. Points calculator & job → visa matcher
