Hello guys I am a silent reader on this forum, i have a bsc in agric Economics have found some skools I can apply to for for my masters degree.for the experience people on this platform I wll appreciate if you can suggest to me some skool in Aussie dat offer MSC in agric eco that I can also consider as well..and one more question please at the stage of visa application wll I apply online or go and submit at their office at Ikeja and my last question is about medical is it done prior to visa application or I will be informed by the embassy during the review of my documents to go for medical,because I av a llow budget for dis I don't want to involve any agent, tenks alot guys.

Why going for Msc that will cost you a fortune while you can get PR with your profession. Agricultural related profession is one of the easiest to get a PR besides some states and regions will be willing to sponsor you.

LadyHeaven:
hello sir, pls does Deakin still offer the discount? because i didn't see anything like that?

Deakin doesn't accept application from students in naija directly without using a third party, contact the school they will direct you to their representative and you'll find out more about the package.

Aub430:
Please guys quick question, what's the best way to got to Australia with dollars? I have not opened an AU bank account and definitely too late for that.

Open a domiciliary account in naija or come with your USD, enough currency exchangers on your way at airports, on arrival or any city you are heading to.

Softkey:
I understand your point, but it is referred to as Scholarship and clearly stated.

I'm not disputing the fact that they called it scholarship, Deakin started similar thing about 2years ago likewise La Trobe, Monash and some other Unis, though you save couple of thousands in tuition fees but is totally different from PhD or research work where you won't pay a single $ for tuition fee. Its just a strategy to entice more international students in believing that they are paying lesser fees, in the real sense those schools know what they are doing.

Saintbusco1:
with the discount, is it still possible to gain scholarship? if yes how will the person make the rest of the payment, like after the discount and scholarship

I won't say is not possible but haven't meet any naija on full scholarship coursework but heaps of Nigerians on PhD scholarship and heard about a lady in Uni Melbourne doing research program full scholarship. I know of 3 Nigerians in Deakin enjoying the benefit of the discount, as regarding the payment of the outstanding fees, you source for it like every other person.

Softkey:
Some schools do offer partial scholarship for international students even for MSc coursework. E.g Macqurie University.
Yes you can pay per semester

There is different between scholarship and discount, what you stated is actually discount and not scholarship, some unis adopt such strategy to entice international students.

obi24:
Hello E- family, pls where can one buy affordable household items from kitchen utensils to funiture work in Adelaide. Not online ooo but shop where i can just walk in and make a choice.Thanks.

Google Big W or Kmart closest to your location, you can also try Target but their price is a bit higher than the previous two.

odimbannamdi:
How can you be so sure?? Na wa o

He's absolutely right, you can only get a discount and just few Unis offer scholarship for selected program in Master of Research and not Master of course work.

pitman10:
OK.. .but with my bsc in philosophy can I still get admitted into nursing?

Your best shot is graduate entry of nursing with a strong SOP stating why you are changing career path as well as strong home ties while applying for visa not sure if Bsc nursing will fly if you tender your philosophy degree.

pitman10:
Yes my waec can lead to bsc of nursing

No Uni will give you Bsc of nursing with Waec without doing one year compulsory foundation course.

jimikata:
Good day everyone,
please shed more light on Australia sub class 186 visa.
An agent want to process this class of visa for me on a sponsorship deal.

A little google about visa subclass 186 will clear your doubt, the visa is employer sponsor and the thing is have you gotten a job in Australia? Don't fall for cheap scam.

Dubyz:
Good morning all, please I’m new here. I want to study graduate nursing entry in Australia, though I already have BSC accounting and post-graduate diploma in education. However I was told that I can travel with my children and husband if I’m able to get student visa. Please how true is this and is there any other thing I need to know in this regard. I have already written IELTS exams and my husband will be my sponsor.

Please I need your advice

Based on my personal opinion and what have seen, it will be hard for you to get a visa for graduate nursing entry level due to your initial degree but not impossible. Have meet two people with similar case like yours but they came in with the intention of studying Masters relating to their fields and after their first semester, they switch to graduate nursing thereby forfeiting the first semester fees, you may consider that if you have enough money to throw around and secondly YES you can travel with your family if you include them while applying for visa.

Dubyz:
I was told that with graduate entry nursing I will have 2years post study visa that will enable me to work. My husband won’t be joining fully rather he will be visiting us since he has a steady job here. Then my kids are still too small to be left behind. They are 3 and 2 years

You will be eligible for post study work visa upon completing your studies but sincerely you have to plan very well, coming here with kids won't give you the opportunity to combine studies, working and taking care of your kids together unless you have an external strong financial backing that is the only way you have it easy.

jidobaba:
This forklift driving is overrated. With the way factories are being automated how many forklift drivers do you see around,

Not overrated but depend on your locality, there are heaps of warehouses that can't do without forklift.

chidike:
Hey guys! So I'm moving to Melbourne at the end of the month after spending a year in NZ, and I'm thinking of a nice sub to live. I've been to Melbourne before but that was more of a tourist visit, so if you guys can let me know suburbs to avoid, I'd appreciate. I'm looking for somewhere close to the CBD, which is where my office is located; I have a few in mind; Fitzroy, St. Kilda, Brunswick west, South Melbourne, and Yarraville or South Yarra. My budget is to not exceed $400/week. What are your thoughts on the subs I listed, I'm also trying to avoid places with a huge South Sudanese community. Thanks.

Avoid Dandenong as well as Footscray, among the suburbs you listed St Kilda is the most expensive due to it closeness to the beach and social activities but with your budget you should be fine, South Yarra is a nice suburb and also expensive, Brunswick and South Melbourne not bad but Yarraville is a bit boring.

IamphilVitalis:
Ohkay, I think that won't be an issue.
But bro would it be around same cost with college vet courses.

To the best of my knowledge and also depending on Uni and courses, it ranges between AUD9K to AUD12K per semester.

IamphilVitalis:
Hello house please reason this.
I have been in contact with stanley college Perth wa through their email that I got from the website and I've started my application with them already . I later decided to call them with the number on their website and one lady like that picked the call and when we were talking she asked me of my nationality and I told her nigeria and the next thing she said was that they don't give admission to offshore students from my country. please my people is that possible, what do you guys. please the guy that recently updated on here that he just got admission from Stanley college Perth Wa should please come and confirm this and help o because I no understand this oyinbo people at all

When i stated here that it kinda hard presently to get into Australia through colleges, couple of guys antagonized me, good you find out, your best shot is applying to a Uni offering VET courses with that you will still encounter maximum scrutiny from DIBP.

jolanrewaju:
please r u in Sydney or Melbourne

Melbourne

bunmmy5:
Brother, you don't know anything about australia. Seek advice

Advice from you abi? place way i don dey since, kindly apply for VET visa and let us see how far.

bunmmy5:
This is about being informed. Information is power. Many people goes for higher education because of lack of information or desire to pursue a career.

And you think if its that easy, Nigerians won't have figured it out all these while abi?

lawland:
Stop arguing on what you don't know.

If my memory serves me right, you have been in Australia for almost 2years or more, how many Nigerians have you meet that came in through Vocational Studies? What lead to the argument was high risk or no risk, just compare and contrast how DIBP used to issue Nigerians visa coming for higher education between 2015 to early 2017 and now, there is a sharp drop talkless of a VET visa.

King1986:
This is my first time to drop a comment here....sorry to jump into your discussion but have been following everybody comments from the beginning......yes they do grant visa to vocational studies base on...that what my sister use to enter Aussie since last year even is not for only her but for both husband and wife just that it is better to use O level result and back it up with some nice documents you can provide to complete your gte...have been following this forum since way back but I know some people do think they know all,even some people do discourage alot of people with there views.

No one is saying Australia doesn't grant vocational studies visa to ppl, there are heaps of Chinese and Indians on VET visa but that can't be said of naija, if you don't mind why can't you expatiate on how your sister get her VET visa.

bunmmy5:
Sydney English Language Centre, SELC Education and Training Career College, SELC Career College Australia, SELC English Language Centres Australia, SELC Sport and Fitness Career College, SELC Health and Welfare Career College, International College of Hotel Management, Aspire Institute, Brown Professionals. More to come later

All the colleges you listed are VET and as far as i am concern naija is on assessment level 3 on VET program.

bunmmy5:
It is better, you don't say what u don't know. I can give you up to 15 colleges on alevel 1. So too confusing people. They issue visa even for vocational studies more as long as you proof your gte beyond doubt. I can give you evidence on this if u care to know. Don't come here and talk about what u don't know. The more u look, the less you see.

Kindly list the colleges for confirmation and also give reference of ppl you know they gave visa for vocational studies from naija and not those that came here and switch.

bunmmy5:
The risk is not that high bro, all you need to know is that if Stanley college is AL-1 school and if so, you need to bury your degree and make use of your O level then back the rest up with working experience and certification. Note: Level one school can only work for advanced diploma.

No college in AL1 schools, AL1 is a list of top seventeen Australian universities. There is a high risk in that, more documents to convince the CO besides when last have you heard of DIBP issuing visa to someone coming to study advanced diploma program in a uni here talkless of college from our part of the world, very rare.

ShyCypher:
Are you okay?

This black, yellow-toothed & aggressive okadaman smellin' of incense & gworo that just dropped me @ my bus stop is what?

Be careful o. Do you know how many ab0kis are migratin' to Lagos in trucks & lorries everyday?


Is it because they smell the same as cows so you don't notice them?

80% of those doing okada and gateman in Lagos are not Nigerians talkless of being real Hausa, most of them are from Chad/Niger. An average typical Hausa man will prefer to wallow in abject poverty in Kano than to come and hustle in Lagos.

FBS:
Anyone following this Telstra fiasco? They so much remind me of NITEL.

8,000 ppl to lose their jobs in the next 4years, no be small thing oh.

eclecticbaron:
Greetings house. I have been following this thread for a while, and I must say that it is quite insightful. Thanks to everyone that has contributed in one way or the other, please keep up the good work.
Please I have a few questions, please is there anyone in the house that is familiar with Hobart, the University of Tasmania to be precise? I have an offer to do my PhD research in Mechanical Engineering with emphasis on condition monitoring. If anyone is familiar with that area(i researched it, it's a little island state), please what are the job prospects like? I have a BEng in Aeronautical Engineering and an msc in Maintenance Engineering. Thanks.

To be sincere Tasmania is dry, haven said that you can go ahead with your program, get your PR and move to happening cities.

happy4lucy:
We have gone to centerlink and Medicare. Also we have gone to bulk billing clinic for immunization update which we are waiting for update from them.
We have submitted family tax benefit (I don't know which one is a and b)

Do I need to create centerlink account for my son?

Currently we are looking for work And house, anyone with any kind of work should alert me. Am willing to relocate. We are presently in Canberra.

Myself: IT support/ maintenance Engineer
Hubby: Architect

Thanks.

Can't say much about your profession with regard to relocation but your hubby definitely has to relocate to Sydney or Melbourne and try to align and package his resumé towards construction because construction is massive in these two cities, an average construction worker is balling in these two cities.

[quote author=happy4lucy post=67977362][/quote]Madam you are just passing through a phase which most have passed through and they came out strong kindly be calm besides you have scale through the most difficult stage by coming here, all the infos you need to get it right are online a little google search will help you out. Go to any centrelink near you, tell them you are a new immigrant and they will tell you exactly what to do, go to any public transport station tell them you need a concession card, they will ask for your status and see if you are eligible for one. Move around, find a religious gathering, mix and ask questions, make use of the internet and with time you will be good to go.

Hello good people please i need your help on VETASSESS.

My husband has 12 years experience in Digital banking.
Bachelor degree in Electrical engineering (2006).
Msc project management (2015).

My question is, if it is okay to send only his masters (msc project management) transcript for assessment Or will bsc (electrical engineering) be better?

Will really appreciate your responds.

Thank you.

Madam, project management isn't on the skilled select list, his only sure bet is electrical engineering and will have to assess with EA. He may not be able to claim points for work experience unless his job roles as a digital banker correlate with core electrical engineering job roles as stated by ANZSCO.

samge:
Ok thanks been there several times about no
Yam or plantain

She used to have yam but not sure about plantain, maybe you don't usually go there whenever yam is available.

samge:
Pls where can I get all these to buy in Melbourne?

There is one Fatima at 15 Gilbert street braybrook, you will get anything you looking for in terms of naija food.

olumig:
your opinion

Ok now, come over and find out by yourself.

olumig:
@gunpoint can we have a thread for Australian visit visa

Visiting Australia without having anything tangible to do is just wasting of time and resources.
