★  Expert Connect

The right migration professional, matched to your journey.

We don't give advice — they do. Migration Protect refers paid members to a vetted network of registered migration agents, immigration lawyers, and specialist advisors. The right person, in the right jurisdiction, the first time. Book sessions through us, pay the expert directly at their published rate.

Our vetting standard

Every expert meets every one of these.

We don't accept self-declaration. Every professional in the network is verified against the rules below, and re-verified annually.

✓

Currently licensed and in good standing

With the regulator in the relevant jurisdiction — MARA, CICC, IAA, OISC, SRA, AILA, etc. We check the register, not the CV.

✓

Minimum 5 years in their specialty

Not just 5 years in the industry — 5 years in the specific pathway we'd match them to (Skilled Worker, Express Entry, EB-2, EU Blue Card, etc.).

✓

No public disciplinary findings

In the last 5 years. We check the regulator's disciplinary register at onboarding and again at annual re-verification.

✓

Annual re-verification

Registration status, complaints history and CPD are reconfirmed every year. Expired or disciplined experts are removed from the network the same week.

✓

Member-rated, not self-rated

Members rate each session privately. Experts with consistently poor ratings are reviewed and, if necessary, removed.

✓

Published rates, no surprises

Every expert in the network publishes their hourly rate up front, before you book. No last-minute pricing conversations, no surprise invoices — you'll know exactly what a session will cost before you commit.

FAQ

Quick answers.

Do I need to be a paid member to use Expert Connect?
Yes — the matching service and the ability to book sessions is a paid-member benefit. Visitors and free members can read this page to see how it works, view the credentials, and see a sample of the network. The directory itself opens in the dashboard once you join.
How much does a session cost?
Sessions are booked through your Migration Protect dashboard and paid directly to the expert at their published rate. Your paid membership gets you access to the vetted network and the matching service — sessions themselves are billed separately by the expert. Every expert publishes their hourly rate up front, so you'll know exactly what a session will cost before you book.
What can the expert actually advise me on?
Anything within their regulated scope of practice — visa eligibility, application strategy, document preparation, appeals, points calculations, employer sponsorship, and so on. They give personalised advice; Migration Protect itself does not.
What if I don't like the expert I'm matched with?
Re-request a different match at any time — no cost, no awkward conversations. We rotate matches in any case until you find someone you click with. Your member rating after the session helps the next member get a better match.
Is Migration Protect liable for the advice I receive?
No. Expert Connect is a referral service. The advice you receive is the expert's responsibility under their own regulator and professional indemnity insurance. The Migration Fee Protection Guarantee covers certain fees if a registered professional gives you incorrect advice that leads to a refused application — see the Guarantee Wording for details.
Can I work with the expert beyond a single session?
Absolutely. A first session is often just a starting point. If you want the expert to take on your full application, you can book additional sessions or engage them directly at their published rate. Migration Protect makes the introduction; the working relationship is between you and the expert.
