How we work
Honest by design
What we do
- Education counselling, course and university selection, and applications
- English test preparation and practice exams
- General visa guidance and document checklists — free
- SOPs for university admissions: we coach you on your own draft, or write it from an interview with you, using only your true story
- Paid admissions document help (SOP coaching or writing, CV and reference formatting)
What we don’t do
- We are not licensed immigration consultants (RCIC) or lawyers
- We don’t submit or represent visa applications to any government
- We don’t charge for visa document preparation, anywhere
- We never guarantee admission or a visa
- We never write visa documents, research papers or essays, and never invent anything in an SOP
- We only publish photos with the student’s or parent’s written permission, and never visa documents
What you pay
No service charge on your first 3 applications to partner universities and colleges, then US$50 each. Nothing to pay after your visa decision for post-secondary students. The university’s own application fee, if any, is separate. K-12 school applications are priced separately. Bangladesh prices: message us on WhatsApp.
Commissions
Institutions pay us a commission when a student we placed enrols. It doesn’t come out of your tuition. Ask us what we would earn on any institution and we will tell you.
How we help with visas. Luminous International is an education consultancy. We are not licensed immigration consultants (RCIC) or lawyers, and we do not represent anyone to any immigration authority. We provide general guidance and document checklists. For Canadian study permits, visa guidance is free and general only. Our paid services cover admissions documents, not immigration documents. We do not offer paid visa document preparation for any destination.
