Tadell:
Hi all.
I want to apply for Australia student visa .
I don't have the intention of continuing my education when I get there due to the cost.

--Do I need to pay the complete fees before departure?

--If I get there without reporting to school, will I run out of status(will I be declared an illegal immigrant?)

Lastly, how can I get PR when I get there without reporting to school?

Please pals, I need your opinions and advice.

If you get a student visa, by all means go to school. The consequence of not going is that you will end up at MMIA on a free flight.

With what will you get the PR?

Lastly, don't act smart as you will eventually be outsmarted.

Greetings to my fellow breatherens.

Skill Select has deleted my profile ni ohh, please advise me I dont know what to do.

That means the profile has exceeded the number of years. Create a new profile.

If you have the plan to seek for South Australia's nomination, the time to do it is now.

The Liberal party has won the state's election yesterday after 16years of Labour party's domination. It is not uncommon for Liberals to blame immigrants for every problem facing their jurisdiction. Therefore, it will not be long before the state's nomination list is revisited.

uckennety:

Cc bellong,blings e.t.c

Your chances for what?

I don't really understand what you want to know. Is it if you will get a visa or what?

What are your trade certificates in? And do you have paid experience in the occupation?

PurpleG:
Go ahead.

I will tell someone to contact you.

Thanks

@Purem,

Australia is an isolated country which makes it difficult for illegal entry. Yes, people still find their way in illegally. However, the waters are constantly being patrolled by the border force (home affairs). The ship will be issued hefty fine, so I am not sure the captain will be willing to take such risk.

In the event you are arrested and you declare to seek asylum, you will be taken to the immigration detention centre. The processing takes a very long time. At the end, your request may be denied and deported.

For Australia, I will not advice such venture. The Asians bring in lots of their people by exploiting the visa 457. A small restaurant will pack in people as restaurant workers which is why the current government is clamping down on the visa 457.

If you have paper qualification in those trades, some states sponsor them.

@purem,

It is very easy to work in the country with no certificate. There are tons of jobs to do. However, you need at least a trade qualification to be able to enter the country legally or come in to study. Another means to enter is as an investor which requires more fund than what you described you have.

If by lesser certificate, you mean trade skills like welder, mechanic etc. Those with such skills and certificates are the owners of this country. You will be king as long as you are good at what you do.

Like I said, you need at least a trade qualification to be able to move legally.

desertboom:
I've learnt enough from you, if not because of lack of funds I would have started the process.
Well-done

If you can meet the requirements and your occupation is on the list, I don't think funds should be a barrier.
One step at a time. I believe in when there is a will, there must be a way...

There are people who never had the fund but started from the little till they got to the end. Once it is God's will for you to make the move, believe me, the funds will surface. What you need then is to overcome your inertia.

Goodluck.

Done

foreverkind1:
Okay thank you, not agric related but finance

She specifically requested that you unquote her comment you quoted up there. Could you do as requested?

For vacation, start from Brisbane to the Gold coast. So many places to visit for vacation. Hobart is equally as good for holiday.

@Mizmycoli,

The issue of racism has been dealt with severally on this thread. To entertain your question, I will start with my usual 'punchline'.

Researches in psychology have come to the conclusion that racism, discrimination, prejudice and ethnocentrism cannot be eliminated. They are all part of our existence. However, we can always choose to be for rather than against. For more read, read topics like discrimination, prejudice, racism and bias in social psychology texts.

To answer your question, yes there is racism in Australia which is not different from other Western countries. However, the type of racism largely practised here is subtle and not the 18th century type where someone will throw banana at you on the street. Only the uneducated and ignorants of the law will attempt to racially abuse you publicly and they are very very few.

Reason I used "ignorants of the law" is because racial abuse is against the law and you have every right to press charges against such person. For jobs, if you have evidence that an employer did not employ you due to discrimination, you have the right to report the employer to fairwork under anti-discrimination acts. For the minority groups in Australia, there are acts and laws to protect you if only you want to and can fight for your right.

Trust me, the racism you will experience in this country is not as bad as the ethnic hatred you have experienced on nairaland or on the streets of Nigeria. The same reason why an Igbo person is biased against a Yoruba or Hausa person is the same reason people of different colour discriminate against those different from them.

From my observations, majority of those racists are those of British origin.

I don't have any account of an obvious racism against me but I know of some people who I advised on how to deal with the situation which ended positively for them.

In case you feel you are racially abused, depending on where it happened, follow the channel to address your situation. Don't bottle it up. If it is at work, report to the manager or director. If nothing is done take the case to fair work Australia. It is seen as a psychological injury. You can actually go to the doctor and get a certificate for psychological leave.
I will give an example of an experience close to it. I was pretty sure it wasn't racism but it was dealt with very seriously like racism. While discharging my duties to one of our biggest clients at work, I have called this representative before and I had to call him again within 15 minutes for clarification. My second call, the guy just swore at me out of frustration. I didn't react to it but let it go and ended the call politely. However, I took up the case with the manager. The manager contacted his director to explain what happened and also send strong signal that it was unacceptable. The case was investigated and this guy was close to losing his job where he was. His director and him wrote separate letter of apology to me. They needed my consent that I was ok with the apology before he was reinstated at work.
His explanation was that he was frustrated earlier and was transferring aggression. I sincerely believed him because I observed stress on his voice when I called him the first time.

Essence of the epistle is that your rights are protected here. At work, on the street, in the bus etc. Don't let anyone push you over. No one can oppress you except you permit them to.

If you can survive the ethnic hatred in Nigeria, the racism here is child's play to it. At least based on my own experience.

On a final note, no one should think that he or she will be given an heroic welcome entering territory a territory he/she is different. You also need to assert yourself and win their trust as well as confidence.

If you want to live here, racism should be the least of your worries.

I will not give advice on where to stay because I am very biased about a particular city. I don't want to influence decision but your choice should be the city that offers the best for your career.

yennyife:
Good Day everyone. Please I need your help. Is it possible to combine IELTS and PTE for this process? I am looking for every possible means to boost my points. My IELTS score is L:8.5, R:9.0, S:7, W:7. Thank you.

Unfortunately, you cannot combine WAEC and NECO in this case.

Your reading and listening were great though. Probably work on the areas you think you didn't do well in writing and speaking.

Rallyberry:
Age 33years=25marks
IELTS =0point
Education:masters=15 points
Experience 8years=15points

You don't need to present your Masters. If you do present it, you will lose experience from points. You need to rewrite English to get at least 8 in each band of IELTS or 79 in PTE.
If you can get that, you will make 75 points and you have a very high chance of getting ITA quickly.

However, you need to really package your job descriptions well for vetasses.

Rallyberry:
Yes I can relate my experience with Vetasses, I have gotten to the stage of payment. Also on EOI, I got 75points at the final page of submission, I claimed I have been assessed. .

How did you get 75 points?

Break it down.

Rallyberry:
I have checked, I can see that land economist and valuer are among job ceiling for 2018-2019
What does that means. Is it that they are full up. Moreno, with my scores in ielts can I make it, I have masters and professional qualifications from my professional body here in Nigeria. 8years experience

You didn't answer the questions I asked. Job ceilings are only quota assigned per immigration year to occupations.

Your IELTS is useless bro. Someone told you already... If you can relate your experience to the occupation I listed, then go ahead with the assessment. Read vetasses website for further information.

Rallyberry:
I want to know my chance,
I have master degree, my first degree is in estate management. 8years of experience in property management
Im 33years, ielts R6 L6 W6 S7. 5 average6.5
I want to apply for Australia PR 190, property manager. Need skill assessment, and I need to pay Vetasses to be assessed . Pls what is my chance.

Read up on job descriptions of Valuer and Land Economist. If your experience can fit into any of the two, it is better than nominating property manager.

wapu:
Amen!!

Great and good news bro..

Many thanks to Alphadoor and Azy123. May God reward you beyond expectations.

lekahm:
Go to the page 0, you will get all the info required!

Brosssss, I hail oooo. Eyin eyan Roger Federer.

Spyroxy1 has given you the breakdown of the cost. If and when you get to the visa stage, you don't have to pay the money at once. You can pay for yourself first, call immigration to suspend your application, find reasonable excuse and use the period to gather the remaining money. Once you have it, you can then call to continue the application.

May God keep the twins and may they live to fulfill God's purpose. Na you Biko bros...

I think you should start now as your UK Masters is not going to add any additional points to you.

If your experience in renewable business is not up to 3 years, it is of no use for experience points.

Write your CDR from your undergraduate and renewable energy experience if it is related to chemical engineering.

@Tanamon,

You did not say what your occupation is or what you studied in your undergraduate and what you are currently studying.

verocharles:
Please is there a minimum amount for one to earn in salary before applying as a professional engineer in EA assessment?

No.

@Mumzt,

When did he start working?

Cutebabiesmum:
my brother, am talking of a Redeemed church pastor. I know my reason of getting worried about telling him. last year, my junior brother(he's just 15 and last born. we are only 3 in family and am the only girl) told me he want to come and spend the long vacation in our house and that night I made favourite dish for my husband, after he finish eating, I knelt down and started praying for him and calling him sweet names, he told me to go straight to the point and i told him my brother is coming to spend the 3rd term vacation in our house,Jesus you need to see how he reacted like the boy will kill him if he come. he said never I should not just dream it. I even told him not to give the boy penny even when he's going back that I will take care of everything, he said no and want to turn it to fight. And he knows am the first born of that family which means most things lies ob my head.

Because he pastors in The Redeemed church doesn't make him any better than ordinary men on the street.

God instructions is for husband to love their wives. It isn't an encouragement but a command. If a pastor does not seem it fit to put the man, who has lost the priesthood of his home, in his place but always telling you that it is the man's world, I make bold to say that he is far from being a true minister of God.

Every action of a pastor must be in agreement with the word of God. Any pastor that goes against God's instructions while dishing out unwholesome advices, is not fit for the position. For your husband to defile his marital bed and still form a champion even with the intervention of the pastor, it shows the kind of pastor you have.

Anyway, the life of the young boy is important in this situation and I will encourage that you do what you can to help him. Tell him you are bringing your brother to the hospital for immediate medical attention. If he doesn't agree, I don't think you should be bothered. I believe the boy will be admitted in the hospital going by how long he has been sick, I may be wrong.

I don't think there is any ceremony needed to tell him. And in a sane union, couples shouldn't be scared to tell each other stuff like this.

gcey2k:
I just got a job as a junior lecturer in a federal institution.

I am a mechanical engineer.

Thanks boss

Age: 30 points

Eng : 20 points

Qualification: 15 points

This is your potential points... 65. But as a mechanical engineer, you need at least 70 or more.

If you come on 476 and you are able to get a job as a mechanical engineer, after one year you can get 5 points for professional year in Australia and if it is a regional area, additional 5 points making 75 points.

It is doable. And if you don't get something in mechanical, you can join the queue and hope mechanical will drop to 65points.

Whichever way, I believe you should take the 476 and start the PR process immediately you land.

jimohabdo:
@bellong,
kindly guide me on the point OND would give me.
