Separate promises from operative obligations
A benefit summary may omit important terms. Confirm what the employer agreed to fund and what remains the applicant’s responsibility without presenting assumptions as settled facts.
Dated copies of the official program page and FAQ as read, confirmation of the official payment channel, records of the payment itself showing the recipient, and every acknowledgement received from the program. Keep a record of which version of the instructions informed the current plan — an adviser's checklist should match the actual process rather than replace the government's own current directions. Begin with passports, civil records, status history, classification evidence, official payment instructions, and source-of-funds material. Confirm the payment channel is the official one, since a programme involving large transfers attracts imitation, and money sent to the wrong place is not recoverable. Retain dated official pages, payment instructions from an official source, identity records, and all communications, but do not treat promotional attachments as controlling proof. Submit sensitive records through the authorized process, and verify official payment instructions independently of a forwarded private invoice.
