My life have come to a standstill and I don't know the way forward.
Started my journey for Australia Nov 2019 with application for admission without any agent.
Got a provisional admission Dec and the sch referred me to an agent in Nigeria to check my documents and ensure I meet the criteria, submitted all that was required and finally got the full offer Feb to start sch by July.
Paid my school fee, got my CoE.
Applied for my visa 14th March 2020, having done my medical and biometric. God a 50% scholarship.
Covid19 lockdown started..
Started my lectures online cos I didn't want to loose the scholarship and with the hope that things will improve before the end of 2020.
Finally got my grant 16th December 2020.

But the wahala now be say I no fit comot cos the restriction is still in place and I'm so confused now cos I don't know what else to do. Everything is just on pause mood.
should I continue with my work as a Teller in a bank or just resign and focus on the sch cos the stress was too much for me last year and since I already have my grant.

Guys confusion have full my head..

Have been checking Utas is a good choice right for social work. And also for someone moving from economics to nursing do you think the transition will be allowed plus is it masters in nursing you’ll advice the person to go for or the other nursing degree someone mentioned earlier ? Thanks

The reason why Australian Government is refusing to open the border is because some international student still outside Australia have chosen to go with the remote study so schools are still getting some money from the fees being paid. If students who are still outside Australia choose to defer their admissions until the border is opened, there will be more pressure on Government to open the border. Like play like play, many of you will spend one year of your study outside Australia if you keep doing remote.

I kind of think it's better (If you have money of course) and just travel when things have eased down.

Solitin40:

Advice is just take a break at least one semester send the school a mail that you are not finding it easy here that you need a break from study if not you will finish your Uni in Nigeria o my 2 cent for you

I submitted my own application on the 8th of December and it is presently on further assessment on the statute. Does anyone knows how long it takes to get to final decision status from the current status.
Secondly my course is supposed to commence by 1st of march. Do I begin d diferment process now or just wait to mid june cos I don't want a situation where d visa does not come out on time and d school telling me I can't differ anymore.
Thanks 4 anticipated response

it's stressful considering the time difference. Also, if you have already secured visa, what's the point of rushing the study when you can defer. When they open border, your visa will still be there. In the event that the duration on your visa is not long enough to cover the duration of your study, you can get a visa extension based on a new COE. This advise is especially for those wey no too get money. Don't be a cash cow for the Australian government. Right now, based on the news the government is not even sure if border will open this year despite the vaccine. And even when the border eventually opens, not all countries will be allowed in and as we all know, Nigeria is very likely going to be among the last countries to be granted access. So, for those of you who have been doing online study since last year, you might end up finishing your program while still in Nigeria. At that point, your only option will be to apply for the post graduate work visa for which you might have to wait a long time to get a grant as they'll have to consider people that are onshore first before those who are offshore.

Note: this is not to discourage anybody, just an opinion that you might want to consider while you're in the process of deciding your next steps with regards to your Australian journey. Make sure you're reading the news as well so you can make an informed decision.

At the end of the day, each person's situation is unique and every decision should be tailored towards ones specific goals/targets.

Nah it’s not at all because you going to miss out from the live and study in Regional area also won’t be able to get 3 years post study visa and 5 points for PR

Hello everyone,
I have read on this thread that studying in regional areas can boost your chance of PR.
I studied accounting in my bsc and i saw some courses like Master of Business Administration and Master of Public Health (3 years professional experience- Torrens University

Flinders University-Master of Business Administration and Master Health Administration (2years)

Uni of Tasmania-Master of Information Technology and Systems-
James cook uni- Master of Information Technology- Master of Business Administration (MIT- MBA) 2years

All these courses have health or IT which i read is in high demand
My question is after studying any of these I hope my bsc in accounting will not be an issue when applying for PR since accountants are not needed?

Ibadan
