Good evening house...please I just wanna confirm if I can take TOEFL test as proficiency test instead of ielts to enrol for undergraduate in any school in Australia? thanks in anticipation!

Just my input on the best way to do form A. I waited this long to share this info because i wanted to try it first. I got all my form A payment within a week of applying. Though it was deducted in 3 tranches.

Sorry i cannot help with anybody's contact i just want to pass the info across but it is left to you to explore and utilize.

The answer to form A is Zenith Bank + Zenith staff + Abuja branch. What i mean by this is that Zenith give preference to her staffs when it comes to form A. And CBN gives preference to Zenith when it comes to forex.

So if you want your form A fixed with a week to two weeks:

1. Look for an Abuja branch Zenith bank staff
2. Fund his/her official account with the naira value of your tuition
3. Raise the payment invoice in his/her name
4. Send the invoice with your international passport and certificate
5. Then wait.

It took mine 8days when i went through this process, if you apply as a normal customer it will not might, it will take you upto 6months.

This is Nigeria, we always know someone that will know someone that works in Zenith that knows a colleague that works in Abuja. But i cannot help with that somebody.

Note. They might not want to come out straight to you.
But because lots of people has been selfless on the thread i decided to put in my widows mite too.

Believe i got a very good exchange rate, infact lower than interbank rate.

I am focusing on my visa application now.

PM me so that we can exchange phone numbers

bro. have you paid your deposit fees? how do you plan to do that?

Hmmmm! I don't think it's ever legal in any country to do so.

In most cases, people defer admissions for about three months in a country like Canada because they have financial difficulties. So they want to quickly do some work within that period. That is illegal because immigration assumed that you have the money in the first place and that's why your visa was granted.

Meanwhile, the scenario is different in Aussie as most if not all schools require you to pay full first semester fee before you can get your COE which is needed for your visa application but overall I guess it depends on what grounds would you be deferring the admission?

Oya! over to our gurus

It is possible to defer if you have genuine reason(s) and evidence (s) to back up your claims.
Compationate and compelling reason(s) could be:
-Death of loved one / sponsor
-Sickness (Of the student)
-Lost of vital belongings after entering the country. Etc.

In some cases were your deferment is more than a semester or trimester, school may advise you return back to your home country. Furthermore, it is illegal to work when not enrolled in a school or to work full time when not on school holidays or risk being deported.
