Hey please I wish to get a PGD certificate at SIT (Southern Institute of Technology) at Invercargill, Otago.

I was wondering how do I begin the process, would I need to evaluate my result (WES) , please just advise on what steps needs to be taken for a Nigerian to acquire a student Visa.

If truly you want to study in New Zealand, don't be discourage, i will encourage you to apply. Am talking from experience. A cousin of mine used forged documents to apply for Canada visa, and he was denied and banned! So when he wanted to apply for US visa, a lot of people discourage him not to apply for US visa, and he was told US and Canada shares information bla bla bla. I encourage him to apply, and never listen to them. He got his 2 years multiple visa last year November 2014, and he's currently in Houston Texas. US and Canada dont use same central database system, Same with Australia and New Zealand.

Note: Australia and New Zealand dont use same central database visa system.

They are just neighbors, and they don't use same central system for visa, and there is no way New Zealand will know about your previous Australia denial, except if the refusal stamp is on your passport! Believe me, that will not make affect your visa, This time you have to make sure all your documents are genuine, and package your application well, you will come here to share testimony. Mark my word! My uncle lives in Christ Church and i also have cousin there, the country is a nice place. If you already gotten your admission, try gather all the necessary documents together and apply. Wish you best of luck.

Please house I need your help on dis issue
I was given a 3years ban in Australia last year July (bogus document) and now I have the intention of applying to NZ.

my questions now are...
Will the OZ ban affect my application with NZ ( student visa).

Do age matter cos I will b 37yrs and will b going for vocational program (Nursing).

solomoncater:
The only question that can be answered with certainty is that you will get a full work visa for the duration of your wife's visa. You are not guaranteed a job here. Job is based on your skill and your ability to fit into a work organisation. She needs to prove she has an Equivalent of $15,000 New Zealand dollar equivalent to get the visa.

Hello solomoncater. Am about to apply for my visa to Auckland. Will really need you to help me out with a few guidelines. How can we get in touch. Skype, whatsapp or email?

solomoncater:
To be honest, I am not sure I will have the time to Skype or Whatsapp (not being rude). I can reply your emails as they come in. But, most of the information you want is already on the immigration website. 1 piece of advice. Make sure you give them the correct information. Nigeria is in risk level 2 (if you are doing a PhD) which is above average. Funds and medicals are the 2 reasons 80% of applications are rejected. Make sure you use the accredited hospital and have at least $15k for your cost of living in your account or sponsors account.

opabz:


Thanks for the reply. Its a PhD program covered by a scholarship at the university of Auckland so funding is not the problem. I just need someone who can paint a true reality for me. I have been reading and watching videos about new Zealand for a while now. From my own experience, the internet doesn't cover up all the scenarios. Culture shock and unforseen circumstances can throw even the most travelled people off balance. Those are the angles I want to cover. Best regards
