About

Amir Ismail Global Immigration News is an independent news service from Amir Ismail & Associates. We report on the rules, programs and policy changes that affect people who want to move, live, study, work or invest abroad.

What we cover

  • Canada: Express Entry, provincial programs, study and work permits, family sponsorship and citizenship
  • USA: work and investor visas, including E-2, EB-2 NIW and EB-5
  • Europe and Golden Visas: residence by investment programs across Europe
  • Citizenship by Investment and Residence by Investment programs worldwide
  • Study abroad destinations and student visa rules

How we report

  • Every story names its primary source, such as a government notice, an official program page or a published regulation, and links to it.
  • We show the date a story was published and the date it was last updated.
  • We separate what has changed from what it may mean. Analysis is labelled as analysis.
  • We do not guess at numbers, deadlines or eligibility rules. If we cannot confirm a detail at its source, we say so.
  • If we get something wrong, we correct it and note the correction on the story. Send corrections through the contact page.
