Cara Visa and Career Development Webinars – Videos

Many of our new Fellows need help to understand the UK visa system and, once here, they work hard to develop their skills and build their careers while they are in the UK. Cara’s Visa and Career Development Videos provide valuable guidance:

Visas

On 13 April 2021 Erika Sella, an experienced student immigration advisor based at the University of Edinburgh, gave our Cara Student Visa webinar, ‘An Overview of the Student Route’. Listen to her talk and view her slides here.

On 27 April 2021, Graeme Ross, Immigration and Compliance Manager at the University of Cambridge, gave a webinar on the Tier 5 Government Authorised Exchange visa route, which is the most relevant visa for most of our postdoctoral Fellows. He also discussed post-placement options, including the Skilled Worker visa and the Global Talent visa. Listen to his talk and view his slides here.

IMPORTANT: Please note that the information in these webinars is accurate as of April 2021. As immigration law is very changeable, however, you should always consult with your Institution’s immigration advisors for up-to-date and accurate immigration information.
