Kianos Consultancy helps Ethiopian students and families navigate university admissions, student visas, and skilled migration — with honest advice, meticulous documentation, and a clear plan from first enquiry to arrival.
Based in Addis Ababa, Kianos Consultancy exists because studying abroad is one of the biggest decisions a family will ever make — and it deserves more than sales talk. We tell students what a destination really costs, what the visa officer really looks for, and what life there is really like.
Canada is our speciality — from study permits to post-graduation residency pathways. Beyond it, we guide students to North Cyprus, Australia, the USA, Italy, and China, matching each student to the destination that fits their goals, budget, and circumstances.
We prepare first-term budgets, proof-of-funds plans, and sponsorship documentation so families know the true cost before committing — and so consular officers see a credible, consistent financial story.
University selection, applications, visa lodgement, pre-departure briefing, and settling-in guidance — one advisor, one plan, no hand-offs.
Every engagement is tailored — but these are the pillars of our work.
Program and university selection matched to your grades, budget, and career goals — including our partner universities across all five destinations.
Complete visa file preparation — study permits for Canada, DS-160 and SEVIS for the USA, Genuine Student statements for Australia, financial evidence, and interview coaching.
Guidance across Australia's skilled (189/190/491), employer-sponsored (482/186), student (500/485), and partner visa streams — with clear eligibility mapping before you spend.
