How to calculate assessement level

parksg:
happy new month/workers day,should one apply for those AL1 schools and does get POE. Do we still provide statements of accounts for 12 months since NG is AL3. Good morning

lakola:
Good day house, please how big is the agriculture field in Australia particularly the livestock field. Are there jobs. Pls I will appreciate replies from gurus in Australia or anybody with relevant info

ideamaster:


If you do a search on Australian Economy, you would discover it's dependent on services, manufacturing, mining, agriculture, etc.

In my opinion, there are lots of opportunities in the livestock field. Just that you have to forget about living in the big cities. You also have prepare for the not so easy conditions of living and working on a farm. These farms are on acres far from the regional cities which are far from the big cities. I would also say the pay rates would be lower than most other sectors.

You can also do further research by looking at the occupational ceilings of occupations closely related to livestock Agriculture.

Solitin40:

How to Get an Australian Student Visa?

In order to study in Australia, you will need to obtain an Australian student visa. You must be able to prove to the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) that you meet the following key Australian student visa requirements:

Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) requirement
Financial requirements
English proficiency requirements
Health and character requirements

You’ll need to complete an Australian student visa application form, pay the visa application fee, and perhaps attend an interview. Read on for more detail on what all of this involves.

What is a Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE)?
Introduced in November 2011, the Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) requirement states that the visa applicant must be able to demonstrate a genuine intention to stay in Australia temporarily for the purpose of study, or to accompany a student as a dependent (i.e. spouse or child) or as a guardian. The decision-makers at the DIBP will consider the following factors:

The circumstances in your home country
The potential circumstances for you in Australia
The value of your chosen course to your future
Your immigration history
Any other relevant matters
In order to determine whether you are meet the GTE requirement, you may be asked to attend an interview at your nearest Australian embassy or consulate. Some applicants will only need to fill in a visa application form.

Completing an Australian student visa application form
Australian student visas were previously categorized in different types depending on the study level, but on 1 July 2016 this was simplified so now all international students apply for the Student Visa (Subclass 500), which you must apply for online. The changes also mean that students are no longer assigned an immigration risk assessment level, as the same framework applies to all students.

Before applying for a visa, you will need to obtain a Confirmation of Enrolment (COE) or a Letter of Offer confirming that you have been accepted into a course registered under the Commonwealth Register of Institutions of Courses (CRICOS). The COE will be in the form of an online code that you will need to enter into the appropriate section in the online visa application. You may also need to pay a deposit towards your tuition fees.

You will be able to change course afterwards to one of the same or a higher study level, but you’ll need to apply for a new visa if you’re changing course to a lower level on the Australian Qualification Framework (AQF) or a non-AQF level course (unless changing from a PhD to a master’s). Students may also package their studies by studying two or more courses on their Student Visa (Subclass 500), where there is clear progression from one course to another.

Australian student visa requirements
When completing your online visa application form, you will need to provide evidence of the following according to the Australian student visa requirements:

Financial requirements: Evidence of sufficient funds to cover tuition, travel and living costs. From July 2016, the amount you need to prove you have for living costs (separate from tuition and travel) is set at AU$19,830 (~US$15,170) for a year. If you have dependents (such as a spouse and children), you will also need to show evidence of being able to cover living costs for them, including school fees. Alternatively, you can show evidence that your spouse or parents are willing to support you and that they earn at least AU$60,000 (~US$45,850) a year.
English proficiency requirement: If you’re not from an English-speaking country (and haven’t completed at least five years’ study in an English-speaking country) you’ll need to prove you can speak English to the required level. The DIBP website lists eligible tests, with possibilities being the IELTS, TOEFL iBT, Pearson Test of English (PTE) Academic, and Cambridge Advanced English (CAE). The score you will need will depend on whether you are starting a full degree, doing a foundation course, or enrolling on a preliminary English Language Intensive Course for Overseas Students (ELICOS).
Health requirements: Some students may be asked to take a medical and/or a radiological check-up to show they are in good health (this applies, for example, to those who intend to train as a doctor, dentist or nurse). If told to do so, you must attend an appointment with a doctor who has been approved by the Australian immigration department.
Except those from Belgium or Norway, all students are obliged to purchase Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC). You may purchase this cover through your university, or directly from one of the five approved providers: Australian Health Management, BUPA Australia, Medibank Private, Allianz Global Assistance and nib OSHC. The cost of this health insurance cover will vary depending on the provider and how long you purchase cover for. Students from Sweden who have purchased health insurance through CSN International or Kammarkollegiet will not need to purchase OSHC. Belgian and Norweigan students are also not required to purchase OSHC as part of their visa requirements.

Character requirements: Australian student visa requirements stipulate that you must be of good character to enter Australia. This includes a criminal record check, to make sure you don’t have a substantial criminal record. You may also need to acquire a penal clearance certificate (or police certificate) or get a police statement, and may be asked to complete a Character Statutory Declaration Form.
Australian student visa documents
The DIBP website has a document checklist feature that will provide you with a list of documents required for your specific circumstances. Typically, students must submit the following:

Completed Australian student visa application form (157A)
Paid visa application fee – currently AU$550 (~US$420 in most cases
Copy of passport biodata page (some students may be asked to physically provide their passport)
Certificate of Enrolment or Letter of Offer
Evidence of sufficient funds
Evidence of health insurance cover
English proficiency test results
Criminal record check results
Four recent passport-sized photographs
After you have assembled and scanned your supporting documents, you’ll need to create an account and apply with the online ‘ImmiAccount’ application system.

Most visa applications take four weeks to process. If you study in Australia for a course that is longer than 10 months and finishes at the end of an Australian academic year (usually mid-December) your visa will usually be valid until 15 March the following year. If your course is longer than 10 months and finishes in January to October, your visa will usually be valid for two months following the completion of your course.

Under some circumstances, it may be possible to apply for a further visa at the end of your course (consult the DIBP website for more details).

Using your student visa
You can enter Australia on your student visa up to 90 days before your course starts. Within seven days of arrival, you must inform your education provider of your resident address, and also inform them within seven days if you change address.

While on a student visa, you may work up to 40 hours per fortnight during term time, and full-time in the holidays. The visa is automatically issued with permission to work, although you are not allowed to begin working until your course has started, and should not rely on work in order to support yourself or your family while in Australia. If you’re studying a master’s by research or a PhD you do not have any work restrictions. Keep in mind that any work required as part of your course is not included in the limit. Voluntary/unpaid work is not included in the 40 hour limit if it is genuinely voluntary, for a non-profit organization and for the benefit of the community.

While in possession of a student visa, you have certain obligations to fulfil: you must remain enrolled in a CRICOS-registered course, attend classes regularly, make satisfactory course progress and maintain OSHC health insurance. There are also certain visa conditions you and your dependents must comply with; breaching a visa condition may result in the cancellation of your visa.

Good morning great people, please I'm a newbie here though I follow the thread without commenting.
I submitted my student visa application on the 15th April and got a mail on the 26th April requesting for additional information.
Please I'd like to know if after providing the requested information and notifying the embassy by clicking information provided using the spot on the immi account, I'm supposed to send a mail to the embassy as regards that? And also what is the likely time duration to get a feedback being that my application has been accessed prior to the mail? Up until now I've not received any information from the embassy. Thanks in anticipation of your kind response.

Solitin40:

Any plans of staying back after the completion of the course?

amebostudent:
Thanks for the information
i have read this more than four times yet am unable to see ans to my questions, please shed more lite i beg
i got provisional offer from AL2, i was ask to fill GTE form, write SOP, proof of english and submit proof of fund with other academic documents before they can give me final offer, my Question is will i have to fill another GTE, submit proof of fund and English again to the embassy?

You said they may ask some student to undergo medical test, some maybe ask to submit their passport in person. My question is am currently residing out of Nigeria and the country i live currently does not have Australia embassy, do i need to come home before i can apply for the student visa?

Finally, i want to use my late dad fixed account which am the signatory to the account. Is that enough for proof of fund. The money in the fixed account covers myself and my husband for the whole year
