Dr Edison, the Universal Interpreter

Meet your interpreter

Hello, I'm Dr Edison

I work with Global Travel Insights to make sure no client is ever lost in translation. Clients reach us from Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, Angola, South Africa, Egypt, the Congos — and far beyond. My job: interpret between languages, answer your questions, and point you to the right guidance and solutions — whether you write in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Swahili, Hausa, or Arabic. Start with the translator below, browse the answers, and when you're ready for personal guidance, I'm one message away.

Need certified human translation?

The instant translator above is free and instant — but for official documents (birth certificates, diplomas, bank statements, immigration forms), you need a professional human translation. Dr Edison handles it personally:

$30 CAD per document — professional translation, no notarization
$100 CAD per document — professional translation including notarization

French, Portuguese, Spanish and more ↔ English, either direction. Send your document on WhatsApp and tell us the languages you need.

Ask Dr Edison

The questions every traveller asks — answered. Type a word to search, or open any question below.

I want to move abroad. Where do I start?

Start with the route, not the country. Almost every residence permit on earth is one of six routes: work, remote income, passive income, investment, ancestry, or study. Knowing which route you qualify for narrows twenty countries to a handful in an afternoon.

Two resources: our Opportunities page lists 20 verified free and sponsored pathways with direct links to the official application sites, and Yovwe Samuels' bestseller THE EXIT PLAN maps all six routes across 20 countries with real costs, timelines, and official sources.

How much does Global Travel Insights charge?

Our travel planning services are simple and fixed-price: $100 CAD — Local Travel Planner and $250 CAD — Global Travel Planner (the Africa Special Travel Consultation). No hidden fees, no percentages. See Travel Planners for what's included in each.

How do I pay from my country?

Three ways: Wise (works worldwide — payment links are on every planner page), e-transfer to director@globaltravelinsights.ca (Canada only), or bank transfer to our GTI company account (details on the planner pages). Pay only through the links and details published on this website.

Can you guarantee my visa will be approved?

No — and anyone who guarantees a visa is lying to you. Governments decide visas, not agents. What we do: guide you to the routes you genuinely qualify for, help you prepare a strong, honest application, and point you to the official sources so you can verify everything yourself. That honest preparation is exactly what improves your chances.

How do I know this is not a scam?

Good question — always ask it. Verify us: this website (globaltravelinsights.ca), our Ontario registration, and our public Facebook presence. Red flags that mean WALK AWAY: anyone asking you to pay into a personal bank account, anyone guaranteeing a visa, anyone rushing you with "offer expires today," and anyone contacting you from a number we haven't published. Our WhatsApp lines are +1 447 291 7207 and +1 437 258 9036 — no others.

Do you give legal or immigration advice?

We give general guidance and point you to official government sources — we are not a law firm. For legal advice on your specific case, we direct you to licensed immigration consultants and lawyers. Never take life-changing legal advice from social media comments or strangers on WhatsApp.

Which book should I read first?

Start with the bestseller: THE EXIT PLAN — How to Move Abroad in 2026 and 2027 (20 countries, every route, real costs). Then THE EXIT STRATEGY for the family move blueprint, and Visa-Free or Visa-On-Arrival? to map exactly where your passport takes you. All by Yovwe Samuels on Amazon.

How do I talk to a human?

Message us on WhatsApp: +1 447 291 7207 or +1 437 258 9036. Tell us your country and what you're trying to do, and we'll guide you from there — in your language.

Need personal guidance on your case?

The answers above cover the common questions. For guidance on your specific situation — your country, your route, your timeline — reach Dr Edison and the Global Travel Insights team directly on WhatsApp. Write in any language; we'll understand you.

Want dedicated 1:1 help on your case? Our human team offers Document Checklist & Review ($149) and the Africa Special start-to-finish consultation ($250).
