Hi bro, I'm coming in January, kindly send me a mail, let's talk oladejiray@gmail.com

Mail sent

dmickdx:

thanks man..but
1 do I ask for transcript and verify myself? or the school in Australia requests for it?

If you could get it yourself and certify it, that would be faster. You don't necessarily have to certify if it's a coloured copy.
Someone recently told me some Nigerian universities (or all) stopped sending transcripts to students' addres (can't confirm that). If the only choice you've got is for them to send it to the school directly, then you've got to take that.
I reckon it would be cheaper and faster if you could get it sent to you directly though. That way you could control how and when it gets to the university you are applying to get into.

Hi Zimunachimdi,
To start with, you made a good choice by going for a medical related courses. It would be difficult for me to advise if you should quit that job or not but would give some analogy which could help in your decision making.
150k in a federal job in Nigeria should be a relatively good pay but considering the present inflation rate, I doubt if that could go any length now.
An option you might want to consider is applying for a PR directly from Nigeria. That would depend on your occupation if it's on the skilled occupation list. That way, you are not leaving your job yet while waiting for the outcome of the application. You could read about 'SOL' online to check if you qualify. All you need is a minimum of 60points to apply.
Based on my experience and personal opinion, I believe the best time in life to apply for a visa here (student or any other type of visa) is after marriage before kids start coming. A couple can get settled faster that way than for someone coming as a single or with kids.
Taking someone on a student visa as an example, the person could work 20hrs a week and the partner unlimited hours if the person is studying for masters. It's 20hrs a week for the partner too if the study is for bachelors. That way it is easier to 'raise' money for the fees.
In your own case, so many factors has to be considered. For instance I don't know your present financial status per your savings and worth. That is for the fact that you have to pay your fees and still pay your family bills.
The point I'm basically making is that, it would be worth it in the long run but you would need some support before the end of your study. After your study and when you get a permanent stay and job, you would make a lot
That would be worth leaving your job now.
If you are eligible to apply for PR directly and you get granted while still in Nigeria, then it's a 'no brainer' that you quit your present job and come here.
If you also have some savings enough to support what you would be earning while working and studying, then it's also worth leaving your job now.
I still have a few more points to add but don't want this to become an epistle. Lol

Thank you so much, i really appreciate, how can i get course under SOL list and how can i get a cheap school for Agriculture related course, thanks.

ukchy:
Bro, my best advice for you...
Economics and management are not in SOL list.Any course that is not in the list is as good as wasting your money and time unless you just want to dash them money and go back after graduation.

Please do Agriculture related course , with that you are good to go
Australia is a wonderful place to study and a wonderful place to be, Hard work will sustain you as student here with little back up from home.

English language is not really compulsory if you can get exemption letter from your school.

Thanks for the episode Wafer247......Lol

I guess you know you are not only talking to Zimunachimdi.
Anyway I will like to ask, what are the chances of bringing your wife after you have started ur classes as a master student on Oz, I am concern about the $70k salary requirements by the embassy.....

Please who sells Australia dollars here?

@dmickdx,Apologies for the late reply.

From July 1 this year, you could apply for a student visa while on a tourist visa. I would also advise you do not apply for any other visa now till you get the outcome of the visitor visa application.
Applying for a new visa now would overrule the initial application. Hope this helps

https://www.border.gov.au/about/corporate/information/fact-sheets/52b-nfc#visasnostay

Visitors on the tourist visa subclass 600 would most like have a no further stay condition imposed on the visa because of GTE issues. The chances of converting your tourist visa to a student visa within 3 - 6 months is very slim. It would probably be possible if he has gotten admission, paid fees and gotten COE before hand. Then he can make the application in Australia and be placed on a bridging visa.

Thanks so much dear. I am very grateful and i dont mind the epistle and few other points.
I think that PR takes longer time to get,hence the student visa route.

There are no much savings from here,he will have to make first payment from here and other subsequent ones through work. i think the 20hours a week is quite small though

Now,kids are involve,how do he make it?
what are the possible ways out?

what of visiting or tourism visa?can one apply for studies while on it in aussie?

We Nigerians love "get rich quick schemes ". If your course is on SOL why not exercise patience until your visa is out and then you migrate to Australia in a relaxed state of mind instead of get a quick student visa and give your heart palpitation eh?

Well the choice is all yours. YES you can covert your visitors visa to any other visa provided there is NO FURTHER STAY condition on your visitors visa.

150k is a good pay in Nigeria but that same money can be made with 40hrs or 5days of work in Australia.

Apply PR no matter how long it will take because with kids and spouse you will have enough bills to pay and won't be easy with studies and school, truth be told!

Apply for PR since you have work experience and also check if your qualification is on SOL list. To be honest student visa might sound easy but when you get here you will wish you applied PR in d first place.

I don't think Public Admin is on the SOL list...if that is the case, student route is the only option.

Less documents bro and higher chances of visa application , it takes 4weeks for ssvp visa processing.

AlvinKem:
