​➡️ Background Checks - After your interview, we will check your references and your qualifications.

​➡️ Application Outcome - We will confirm the outcome of your application.

➡️ Meet with an Immigration Expert - If your application is successful, we will offer you a complimentary meeting with our in-house Licensed Immigration Adviser so that you can confirm yours (and your families) eligibility for an appropriate visa.

​➡️ Employment Documents and Code of Conduct - We will send you your employment documents to review and sign.

​➡️ Job Token - Once we receive your signed documents, we will send the Job Token for your visa application to you, or to your appointed Licensed Immigration Advisor/ Lawyer.
