CSI charges one service fee at signing, covering a one- or two-year package rather than per application. The agreement ends at the end of that term or once your child receives an offer, whichever comes first. We build each strategy around your child's actual capabilities, applying to both more competitive schools and schools we're confident about, so every student ends up with an offer.

CSI Immigration handles the entire Student Pass application on your behalf, working closely with you to make sure everything is prepared to the highest standard for ICA approval.
