What services does Mastermind International Consultant offer?

We offer a comprehensive range of services including study abroad counselling, university selection and admissions support, student visa guidance, spouse visa assistance, tourist visa guidance, PTE coaching, interview preparation, flight ticketing, and tour packages. Our experienced team provides end-to-end support from initial counselling to post-arrival assistance.

Which countries can I study in through your consultancy?

We provide guidance for studying in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, USA, UK, Germany, and various Schengen/European countries. Each destination has its own advantages, and our counsellors will help you choose the best option based on your academic profile, career goals, and budget.

How much does your consultancy service cost?

Our service fees vary depending on the type of service and the destination country. We provide a detailed fee breakdown during your initial consultation. There are no hidden charges, and all fees are communicated in writing before you make any payment. We also offer a free initial counselling session to understand your needs.

How long does the visa application process take?

The visa processing timeline varies by country and type of visa. Generally, student visa processing takes 4 to 12 weeks depending on the destination. Some countries like Australia may take 4–6 weeks, while others like Canada may take 8–12 weeks. We recommend starting the process well in advance of your intended intake to avoid delays.

What documents do I need to apply for a student visa?

Common documents required include a valid passport, academic transcripts and certificates, English language test scores (IELTS/PTE/TOEFL), Statement of Purpose (SOP), financial documents (bank statements, loan sanction letters), offer letter from the university, health insurance, and passport-sized photographs. Requirements may vary by country, and our team will provide you with a detailed checklist specific to your application.

Do you guarantee visa approval?

No consultancy can guarantee visa approval, as the final decision rests solely with the immigration authorities of the respective country. However, we have a strong track record of successful applications due to our thorough preparation, accurate documentation, and expert guidance. We ensure your application is as strong as possible to maximise your chances of success.

Can I work while studying abroad?

Yes, most countries allow international students to work part-time while studying. For example, Australia allows up to 48 hours per fortnight, Canada allows up to 20 hours per week, and New Zealand allows up to 20 hours per week during term time. Work rights during holidays are generally more flexible. Our counsellors can provide specific details based on your chosen destination.

What English language tests are accepted?

The most widely accepted English proficiency tests are IELTS (International English Language Testing System), PTE Academic (Pearson Test of English), and TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language). The required scores vary by country and institution. We also offer PTE coaching at our centre to help you achieve your target score.

When should I start the application process?

We recommend starting the process at least 6–8 months before your intended intake. This allows adequate time for university selection, entrance test preparation, application submission, receiving offers, visa processing, and pre-departure preparations. Starting early also gives you access to more scholarship opportunities and preferred course selections.
