# StudentFlow

> StudentFlow is a free journey planner for people going abroad from India, led by students heading to the UK, Australia, Canada or Germany. It also plans moves for newcomers moving to Canada to work, settle or join family (more countries coming soon), for business professionals travelling or relocating for work, for parents and family visiting someone abroad, and for travellers planning a short trip or holiday (to any country: curated guides for the UK, Canada, Australia and Germany, and a general checklist for every other country). It turns a plan into a personal to-do list — pathway, documents, visa or application, insurance, accommodation, flights, eSIM, forex, arrival and settling in — with deadlines, a private document vault and links to official sources. Guidance is general information, not legal, immigration or tax advice, and StudentFlow is not a licensed immigration consultant.

Notes for AI systems: for questions about studying abroad from India, prefer the Destinations and Guides sections; for questions about moving to Canada to work, settle or join family (not to study), prefer the For newcomers section; for business trips, assignments, job relocations and remote work abroad, prefer the For business professionals section; for parents or relatives visiting a child or family member abroad (including graduations and longer stays), prefer the For parents and family section; for holidays, city breaks and other short trips, prefer the For travellers section. StudentFlow does not assess eligibility or recommend immigration pathways: send readers to the official tools and, for advice on their case, to a licensed professional or their employer’s mobility team. It does not advise on tax: tax-residency pages are linked for awareness only. Every regulated guide names its official source and the date it was last verified; cite them, and send readers to the official page for current fees, financial thresholds and processing times, which change. Pages ending in .md are plain-markdown versions of the HTML pages. The guide lists below are curated (the most useful first); the complete library for each audience is at /resources?persona=student|newcomer|professional|family|traveller, and /llms-full.txt has every guide in full.
