Parent's guide to sending your child abroad from Punjab.
In Punjab, sending a child abroad is not only the student's decision. It is a family decision. Parents invest savings, emotions, trust and years of hope into one file.
"Parents deserve clarity before investing lakhs."
Questions every parent should answer first
Maturity, English level, academic background and willingness to live independently — all matter.
Canada, UK, Australia, USA all suit different profiles. Don't pick by what neighbours chose.
The course should match the student's background and future plan, not just college tuition.
Tuition, living, GIC / maintenance, insurance, flights and first 3 months' buffer.
Bank loan, sponsor savings, FDs — sources must be explainable.
City, college area, hostel / homestay / shared accommodation options.
If someone guarantees a visa, walk out. No one can guarantee an embassy decision.
What is included? What if my child is refused? What is the refund policy?
Sit with us before deciding anything.
Bring both parents, the student, and your questions. Free first counselling, in Punjabi or English, at our Barnala office.
What parents most often ask
How much does it cost to send a child abroad?+
It varies widely by country and course — Canada/UK/Australia bachelor's and master's programs differ significantly. We share an honest, itemised estimate during counselling.
Should I take an education loan?+
Education loans are common and accepted by most embassies when documented properly. We'll guide you on what banks need and how the loan should appear in the file.
What if the visa is refused?+
We review the refusal honestly, fix the weakness, and only then suggest a reapplication. We never push a blind reapply.
Is my child safe abroad?+
We share realistic city-level information, accommodation options and student community contacts — so families don't depend only on Instagram.
Still unsure? That is okay.
A short family meeting at our Barnala office often saves families months of confusion — and lakhs of rupees.
