Bands, offers and approvals. Not testimonials about how friendly we are.

I had already taken IELTS once and got 6.0. FRS put me in the Premium batch and the instructor found exactly what was pulling my writing down. Second attempt was 7.5. The visa file was handled properly and I got my CAS without a single query.

Nursing needs 7 in every band which felt impossible. The one-to-one speaking sessions were what made the difference for me. They also explained the Genuine Student statement properly instead of giving me a template to copy.

I came in with no idea how Canadian applications worked. They explained the GIC, the PAL and the PGWP list clearly and told me which programmes were actually eligible. Study permit approved first attempt.

I did not think a full scholarship was possible for someone with my results. FRS knew the Stipendium timeline exactly and pushed me to apply early. Tuition, accommodation and stipend all covered.

The mock interviews for the US embassy were the most useful part. By the time I sat down in front of the officer I had already answered every one of those questions five times. Visa took four minutes.

They were honest about BMDC registration from day one instead of hiding it, which is why I trusted the rest of their advice. Full scholarship, and I am in my third year now.
