Top 6 Questions to ask your Study Abroad consultant

I was confused and anxious when I applied for international scholarships and met with various study abroad consultants. I had no idea what type of life awaited me in a foreign land and what to expect from this journey. I researched various topics and had to come up with answers that were not true. 

So, I am writing this blog to answer top 6 questions you should ask your Study abroad advisor or consultant before you acquire their consultancy for your future career path. I have researched these questions, so you don’t have to. The following paragraphs will be vital for your Study abroad journey. 

1- What are the best countries to study in for my field of Study?

If you plan to study abroad, you have already chosen your destination country. Usually, students prefer English-speaking countries for their Study abroad aspirations, which is a good strategy overall. It would be best if you asked your Study abroad consultant about the most job-friendly, less stressful, and manageable immigration laws in countries to ensure that your admission is guaranteed. 

You can focus on Australia, Canada, and the UK as your Study abroad destination. They offer a better education system, job prospects, and career development.

2- What are the visa requirements for those countries?

This is one of the most important questions you should ask your Study abroad consultant. Visa requirements, visa issuance time, delays, and embassy requirements are some of the most important things you should remember. Those countries with longer wait times and higher-than-expected delays should be avoided to reduce stress. 

It should be noted that almost all countries have some checks and balances in place to reduce fraudulent activities and screen students, which is expected given the political and economic situation of the host country.

3- What documents do I need before I apply for Study Abroad?

Each country will only offer you admission with proper documentation and eligibility requirements. These requirements vary from country to country; thus, you should always be prepared. Ask your advisor to list all the documents you need to start the application process. We have also written a blog on the documents you require for studying abroad.

Generally, you need to have:

These are some of the documents you must have before visiting anyone for Study abroad consultancy.

4- What are the financial costs of studying abroad?

It is one of the most critical questions. After you have selected the country of your choice, always ask what it will cost you to get there. This includes the consultancy fee, application fee, university or college tuition fee, investment or investment instrument, and other mandatory documentation in your selected country. Ask your advisor/ consultant to draw a complete breakdown of all the expenses you must bear for your application. This may also include the airfare and other costs.

5- What support services does your company offer to international students studying abroad?

When the consultants are not transparent about the dealing, they try to mint more money out of you by applying shady deals and tactics. Always ask your consultant what type of services they will offer and whether they will provide their support when in the destination country. Ask them if they will help find jobs, accommodation, commute, and local diaspora through their network. The support system will ensure you are with others on your devices to fend for yourself.

Organizations like UNI GUIDE offer their services even when in your destination country and ensure that you have reached and have found a proper place for your stay. They also help during the stay.

6- What are the job prospects after I have completed my Study in the chosen country?

When you opt to study abroad, you are not just going to study, but you have career aspirations. It would help if you always preferred those countries which allow student work to support yourself. Select those universities and governments that offer jobs after graduating, and there are ample opportunities for it. Ask your consultant to find those destinations where the job prospects are better, and career development opportunities are immense.
