Top tips on how to plan your Japa journey.

Japa is possible with the right move. With careful planning and guidance abroad is always within reach. Planning how to Japa whether by study, Residence or other legal viable pathway requires that you make hay while the sun shines.

Here are some helpful steps.

1. Count the cost. One thing you have to settle early is that Japa will cost you something. Whether it be flight ticket, visa fees or time and resources. Counting the cost early will save you from falling into the cesspit of desperation and uncertainty. If you are seeking to Japa via work visa, it makes sense to know what is the proof of fund requirements and the cost implication. Same goes for Residency and study. To think Japa is free but not cheap.

2. Don't leave it for late. Japa many atimes takes time. You can't control visa appointment. Wait times and visa processing. You also cannot determine when the government will change immigration policies. It pays to plan well in advance. Do your backgrounders early. Get info. Seek consultation early. Rally to get the information you need to get ahead. Japa is 40 percent information and 60 percent activation.

3. Gather your documents ahead in advance. Getting your documents early will save you time. Get your transcripts early. Get your degree certificates on time. Take up extra certification courses. Build your proof of funds. Do your language test, certificate evaluation and all that is needed ahead of time. It is always better to be well-prepared than underprepared. For example, Ontario government recently selected medical doctors from the EE pool with low CRS score. Australian and New Zealand Immigration have done similar moves in the past. Those that had all their documents got their PR easy. Move in the direction of your goals before the goal post changes.

4. Plan for alternatives. Have a back up plan. There are several routes to Rome. For instance if you are applying for study in Canada and you are not getting in, spread your tentacles to other countries. Alternative mapping is like casting your bread upon waters. If one ticket cut, one ticket may enter. Apply for all opportunities, whether work visa, Residence visa, Provincial Nomination, Skilled Migrant. If you seek you will find.

5. It takes a village. With the rising cost of living, you have to accept that you may not be able to achieve Japa all by yourself. Rally support. Ginger your folks and kin to back you up. Get info from those that have gone ahead of you. There are several Japa communities out there that offer backbone support to your Japa dreams whether it is by info sharing or offering guidance.

Your Japa dreams are valid. Planning well will get you there. Japa is money but more importantly it is all about strategic planning.
