This is how this agent thing is supposed to work... That's if you think you need them cos you can offer yourself better services than they can afford you!
When you apply to a school and the school requests that you go through any of their representatives in your country (they would usually provide a list that you can choose from), then all you need do is tell your choice representative that you've made application but were referred to them by the school. They would ask if you have the referral email from the school and once you show them, you don't need to pay any dime for their services as the said school would pay them about AUD3000 in the event that you finally enrol with them.

But if you just carry yourself to them without any previous contact with your school, prepare for the exclusive makosa they will dance on your head. And after they chop from you, they will clean their mouth as if nothing happened and chop again from the school.
That's why in your visa application form, you are asked if you applied with any agent's assistance and if you got their services at any fee.

So if you love a particular program in a particular school, it's not enough to quit just to avoid the frustrating agents. It's only when you dull that they will kill you with frustration

So true!! This happened to a friend, he was referred to an agent and one naira like this, they didn't charge him.
Thats why its always good to make an effort on your own... You save yourself a lot!

Can anyone pls explain the medicals process for śudent visa?

Please e-family, does anyone know how to get a cheap flight to Brisbane nextweek?

Anyone in CQ University, Brisbane? Please lets I need some answers urgently.

greater visa flood to sweep tomorrow, position and brace yourselves.. . Glory to God.

Call the airline you want to use tomorrow, tell them the date u r interested in. Tell them to book it for you, they usually give 2 days grace for payment before it gets cancelled. That would save you extra cash and give you time. This is what I did

For IELTS preparation, this site is good and has everything needed to get a good score.

It is what I used for two days before I wrote my exam.

www.ieltsbuddy.com

You mean you prepared for IELTS for just two days, or you've been using other preparatory materials before then

BKings:

Yes, only two days.. it is English exam now, WAEC English is way tougher.

Lol... and you wrote the test in Nigeria? What was your score. You must be a genius.

Pls which agents charge 350 to 600k?
I have been spreading my tentacles too...
i know of Deakin, Western Sydney, Newcastle, CQU, CSU, Griffith etc

SegunWamiri:


ERM, so I heard from people ooo but when I contacted them by mail, I was told that their service charge for Australia is 100k. Meanwhile, all these road sides agents are charging 300-650k

@Ovywils or anyone. Please which schools have you been able to apply to without paying application fees? Would like to spread my tentacles to as many schools as possible.

Kind responses would be appreciated. Cheers.

Moseed:



Congratulations! God is great!
But is there goin 2 be any issue if one misses orientation?.cos some are getting their Grants after this dates?

CC shinerpoly sen2paco and to whom it may concern.

Just contact your school as soon as possible. There is nothing to worry about.

No reference at all bro, except you are asking for references on all of people's experiences here.
I guess there's no harm in ignoring to learn from someone else's experience for the want of a reference and choosing to learn from your own experience.

And to all 'Grantees' in the house... Congrats but don't get too excited just yet cos it's only the beginning of Aussie challenges. But God will see us all through ... Amen

SegunWamiri:
Wow!!! Really?? Thanks for the heads up.

However, is there any reference link for this information?

We bless God for the good news. All the best

Please is it a student visa grant alongside family members?

Yes it was Student dependent visa for my family to join me.

@SegunWamir Hallelujah! We bless God for the good news. All the best

Please is it a student visa grant alongside family?
Yes student Dependent visa for my family to join me here.

Oh, I see. Cool. I can imagine your level of excitement at the moment.

hi. has anyone applied for student visa after 1st of july? and is the news of showing a bank statement of $21,000 true with paid one year sch fees true?

Roadside oo. You wanna go there? Was told they'll collect 300 for admission and if I want them to do the visa processing as well, it would be 650k but not sure I'll be back there. The only reason I might go back is that I was informed that they have schools that's between 1-2m equivalent.

It's in Lagos though. You could pm for details and thanks for the schools

Morning all,

God has won the battle for me! It's the Lords doing!
Grant landed this morning.

After a series of phone interview and email correspondence the CO finally gave way.

Lodged on 10th June
Got to pretoria 14th June
CO asked for medicals 24th June
Did phone interview 29th June
She asked for further documents from then till 8th of July. Anything she asked I gave her and she was surprised.

13th June she wrote she's ready to give visa but resumption has passed and that I should collect letter of approval from school for late resumption.

I got my CoE revised at 50 dollars. Sent it to CO yesterday

This morning grant came in!

I give a holla to the wonderful that's been supportive and encouraging here and privately: Cottyekundayo, Dontee5star, bellong, cool Mel, AlvinKem and all.

To other hopefuls, you shall not be disappointed and your wait will soon be over.

Nairaland is really helpful. Probably God lives here.
