Show top destinations and recommended visa pathways for citizens of a given country. Ideal first stop for the question 'Where should I move?'. Returns 4-6 destinations with the best-fit visa for each, key stats, and FAQ. Falls back gracefully if a slug isn't yet curated.

Parameter	Type	Description
`nationality`	string

Check the live intake status of a single visa pathway: whether it is currently open, the last selection round and cutoff score (for round-based programmes like Express Entry, AU SkillSelect, or the US H-1B lottery), what is expected next, and the official source. Call this before recommending a pathway so you never send a user toward a closed or paused programme. Continuous-intake visas return an 'open' status.
