This is great, congratulations
Are Australian Schools cheap?
What is the easiest way to come in?

The easiest way is via Students visa.

Australian schools are not cheap.

Thank you

My Australian landing gist and experience so far.

I arrived Australia on a PR visa through Qatar airways. It was a smooth scale at the border control apart from filling the long covid forms and entries.

I was picked up at the airport by a Senior Brother whom I have been living with and his family since my arrival.

Settling down in Australia as a new immigrant isn't easy especially getting used to a new system.

In terms of jobs, there are many jobs here that can fetch one good money both in the blue and white collar industry.

I got my first job in May and I have been enjoying the experience. Over here, people don't joke with time. If someone living in Australia spares sometime to respond to your questions, you should appreciate it because everyone is busy and on the move constantly.

I didn't understand this till I arrived.

Disability support worker jobs are everywhere in Sydney and they are heavily short staffed. In fact na dem dey beg you to come and work.

Disability support worker jobs can fetch one a good 3k dollars per forth night if you pick good shifts.

In terms of getting a professional job, it's very difficult because most companies won't employ someone without Australian local experience. For instance, if you a construction engineer, breaking into the construction industry is very difficult without local experience.

In terms of mobility, you will need a car, in fact most jobs will ask if you can drive, drivers license, car insurance etc.

Besides, having a car in Australia is a necessity not luxury. You can't get around without a car because everywhere is far from each other. I have spent 8 weeks here and I thank God for bringing me to the beautiful country despite the challenges of settling in.

If you have any questions please do ask me and I will be happy to respond.

Thank you so much and happy weekend.

How do I get you outside here, wanna ask a lot of questions please

Won’t be easy for me sir, am all alone in this journey and don’t have someone to support me even with a dime, someone told me that school route is 80% percent sure but it’s damn costly too, can’t afford it for now
Thanks for your time and response, I appreciate

Unfortunately most pathways will require at least a first degree, however, you can refer to other Australian migration threads for more information.

Landing Gist grin grin

I arrived in Australia on Monday evening Aussie time grin.. I was so happy and excited cheesy grin grin..

We left home for the airport at 4am on Sunday ... My flight was by 8 am so we had to leave early..

When we arrived at MMIA, the airport was not filled and we quickly did our check-in.. then we went back to take pics with family..

It was an emotional moment but I wasn't moved. ... I'm a man of violence... So we boarded the plane which was Qatar airways ... Quickly said my goodbye wishes to my friends on whatsapp before network lost... A lot of people were surprised tho.. and I expected that...

At that point in the plane, I was heavily anxious... I didn't know what to expect.. I've never been on a plane nor have I been in a large association of foreigners .. when the plane started to move,my anxiety rose and I became very paranoid praying that this plane doesn't crash embarassed...

Well ,take off was smooth tho... Then they served food.. God!!! This was the worst food I've ever eaten in my life.. no taste at all.. I'm pretty sure that the food I cooked in ekosodin was 59x better than that shit angry sad angry... I nearly cried because I was hungry and I told my parents before leaving that it's best I eat now than relying on airplane food .

The only thing I enjoyed was the apple juice.. the rest were below the bar... Then I watch some films like Encanto and Fatherhood... Later, I slept off tho because I didn't sleep the past night due to anxiety of the flight..

Soon, we arrived at Doha... Guy.. Doha is so beautiful ooo.. Nigeria is such a complete mess. .. we walked from where we came down from airport to where we'll wait to board the next plane. ..

It was a long walk though.. I jokingly told my cousin that this was our long walk to freedom grin grin grin.. There we waited at the airport till it was time to board..

we boarded the second flight. This one was a bit bigger.. but with little leg space... And it was for 13 hrs

I was in a tight position throughout.. I couldn't even manage myself ... Then they served us food which was a little bit better sha... I rewatched Harry Potter again but I didn't finish it because of sleep sha..

When we touched down Sydney, I was so happy.. I had finally touchdown the city that I had so dreamer of.. I was finally here smiley

My happiness knew no bounds... immigration was quick and then we went to get our baggages.. a little bit stressful but we crossed that hurdle

My family members came to pick us and we took pictures to send home... Then my cousin drove me to some of my other family members place where we ate and talked... Later on we moved to another of my family's place where we are to stay temporarily..

I had to find time to write this... I've just been sleeping and watching Netflix.... I've never seen this kain enjoyment before grin cheesy..

Today I did my Medicare stuff, opened a new bank account and got a new Sim...

Going through your diaries, I can say it is "supposed" to be an interesting read but your constant use of the word "sha" makes it really irritating to read so I'd pass
