For Migration Agents, Universities & Partners

Last updated:

zovrā helps individuals discover visa routes, schools, scholarships, and sponsored jobs in other countries. When users decide they need professional help - to evaluate their specific case, prepare an application, or represent them with a government agency - we want to connect them with a properly-regulated migration agent or immigration lawyer in their jurisdiction. This page explains how that works.

The model in one paragraph

We’re building a directory of verified, regulated migration professionals. When a zovrā user requests help with a specific case, we surface relevant agents - filtered by destination country, area of expertise, and language. The user contacts the agent directly and engages them on the agent’s normal terms. We charge the agent a flat referral fee per qualified introduction; we do not take a percentage of any service fee the agent charges the user.

Who we work with

We list only professionals who are currently registered with their jurisdiction’s regulatory body:

  • UK - OISC-registered (Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner) at Level 1 or above, OR solicitors regulated by the SRA / Law Society
  • Australia - MARA-registered (Migration Agents Registration Authority), OR Australian Legal Practitioners with current practising certificates
  • Canada - ICCRC-registered (Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council), now operating as the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants, OR lawyers in good standing with a provincial law society
  • United States - AILA members (American Immigration Lawyers Association) or attorneys in good standing with a state bar
  • New Zealand - IAA-licensed (Immigration Advisers Authority) or NZ lawyers
  • Other jurisdictions - equivalent regulatory standing for the country in question

We verify registration status before listing. If your status lapses, your listing is suspended. We do not list “general immigration consultants” without regulatory standing - both for our users’ protection and because unregulated practice is illegal in most of the jurisdictions we cover.

What you get

  • Qualified introductions. Users reach you only after they’ve researched their options on zovrā - they’ve self-filtered by destination and visa intent. Conversion from introduction to engagement is meaningfully higher than cold referral channels.
  • Profile + reviews. A public profile page with your registration details, areas of expertise, languages, and (eventually) verified reviews from past zovrā referrals.
  • Transparent pricing. One flat referral fee per qualified introduction. No percentage of your service fees. No commitment beyond pay-per-lead.
  • No sponsored ranking. Users see agents ranked by relevance (jurisdiction + expertise match + reviews), not by who paid most. “Sponsored” tags exist for agents who want extra placement - clearly labelled, never confused with organic results.

What we expect from you

  • Current valid registration with your jurisdiction’s regulatory body
  • Respect users’ time - respond to enquiries within 2 business days
  • Honest scope-setting - don’t take on cases outside your expertise
  • No guarantee of outcomes (and no implied guarantee in your marketing)
  • Fair pricing disclosed up-front, before the user commits

For universities, scholarship providers, and sponsored employers

We list universities, scholarships, and visa-sponsoring employers in our destination catalogue. If you represent one of these and want to make sure your listing is accurate, complete, and current, we want to work with you. Two paths in:

  • Data feed - send us a structured feed (CSV / JSON / API endpoint) of your programs, scholarships, or sponsored roles. We integrate it directly so your listings stay current without manual updates. Feed schema published on request - email partners@zovra.me.
  • Verified listing - claim your institution’s page and edit it directly via an account we provision for your admissions / sponsorship team. You see who clicked through and when (aggregated, no individual user data).
  • Catalogue correction - already listed and something’s wrong? Email partners@zovra.me with the listing URL and what needs changing. Corrections within 5 working days.

We do not charge universities, scholarship providers, or sponsored-employer networks to be listed. Accurate destination data is core to our product; you helping us keep it accurate is a partnership, not a transaction.

Other ways to partner

Beyond the agent referral directory and the data partnerships above, we’re also interested in:

  • Content collaboration - guest-authored guides to specific visa categories you specialise in, credited to you with a link to your profile
  • Catalogue review - if you spot inaccuracies in our visa data, we want to know. Quality matters more than coverage.

Status: pre-launch waitlist

The agent directory is in pre-launch. We’re building the directory infrastructure, verification workflow, and review system now. If you’d like to be among the first listed when it goes live - especially if you specialise in a country/route combination underserved by existing platforms - email partners@zovra.me with:

  • Your name + firm name (if applicable)
  • Your current registration body + registration number
  • Countries you advise on
  • Areas of expertise (e.g. UK Skilled Worker, Australia 482, US H-1B, Canada Express Entry, etc.)
  • Languages spoken

We’ll verify your registration + reply within 1 working week.
