Lol yes, thank you.



Hi Bligs, thank you for airing your view on the question but I must say the beginning of your reply threw me off balance.

For clarification, that part of my question wasn't about dating OZ girls. The question was about dating/relationships in Australia and not limited to OZ girls.

I'm in my early 20s and so I think it's right I get as much information I can lay my hands on as regards my future and coming to Australia.

Thank you once again for your reply and the assistance you are giving to everyone with the pursuit of coming to Australia.

From my research, the key point I have come to understand about Australia is Information rules the country so I try to get informed as much as I can.

Warm Regards.

Congrat bro!!

Please, I have 3 questions to ask.

1)Did you learn and enroll for NAATI to boost your Pr points?

2)If you look back at your journey from the Msc to getting your Pr now. What advice will you give upcoming pals like me with regards getting the Pr swiftly after Msc without facing any avoidable hurdles you might have faced to get your Pr?

3)Also, how is the dating/relationship life in Aussie from your own perspective?

Hi

I have a funny question

For the Griffith thats expensive, with MSc at around 32500 / year

If i get the entire 32500 before coming in for 1 year, will it be easy to get the other 32500 while working there? That means I have like 1 year headstart

hustla:


I think things will be a little relaxed by Jan/Feb next year

I may be wrong though

Hi guys, so I recently graduated from an engineering masters degree and I plan on getting the Subclass 476 Skilled—Recognised Graduate visa for 18 months. My question is how possible is it that I can secure a PR afterwards.

Goodmorning.
I just stumbled through this forum.
I am interested going for an MSC in Data science in a low tuition Australian University.I was told I have to go through an agent(is this a must?).
Please I will be needing advice on how to go about the application process,also,how much i will be needing as my proof of funds,and what %of the tuition fees do I have to pay to get the visa?
I have over 10 years of marketing experience of which I spent 5 years working as a marketer in an ICT industry.

I hope 491 is considered skilled migration.

In another news, there is an update from nsw on nominations. They said it is highly competitive and that ppl should try other regions.

ideamaster:


I want to do a quick calculation. I am using the minimum wage in Australia which is $19.49 but to make it look more realistic, I would apply the 25% casual loading which would make it approx. $24 per hour.

This calculation is for a single person who works normal full time hours. Can people who have families give us a similar calculation for families so we know what it looks like? Thanks

Weekly wage = $24 * 38 hours = $912 (Before tax)

Per year = $912 * 52 = $47,424 (Before tax)

According to the ATO's tax calculator,

Tax on $912 per week is $152

Weekly net pay (take home pay) = 912 - 152 = 760

Yearly tax = 152 * 52 = 7,904 (16.7%)
Yearly take home pay = 760 * 52 = 39,520 (83.3%)

Note that this is minimum wage hence minimum tax. As you earn more, you pay more tax depending on your tax bracket.

Now using the weekly take home pay of 760

Rent for 1 person - share house or a very cheap 1 bedrom unit = 210 per week

Living expenses for 1 person - including petrol, groceries and maybe even eating out = 250 per week (this is probably an over-estimate for 1 person). If you are able to live on 200 per week, it means you can put away 50 per week for bills

Savings = 760 - 210 - 250 = 300 per week (if you want to pay your tithe or give to charity or support your family, you can probably deduct another 100 and be left with 200 savings per week)

Using 1 Aud = N250

Savings
Weekly = 300 = N75,000
Monthly = 1,200 = N300,000
Yearly = 15,600 = N3,900,000

I will list some periodic expenses that can deplete your savings.

Car registration - an average of $500 every 6 months or $1,000 every year.
Interstate Holidays - $3,000 depending on where you go, lol

If your regular bills have to come out of your savings

Home Internet - 70 per month = $840 per year - this won’t apply if you are in a share house
Mobile phone - 40 per month = $480 per year
Electricity (and gas for those who use gas) = $250 per quarter = $1,000 per year - won’t apply if you are in a share house

Remaining savings = $9,280 =N2,320,000

This is minimum wage, working regular full time hours.

Now as a single person, you can easily get a job that pays you more than $25 per hour, you can get penalties if you work weekends and you can have 2 jobs and work more than 50 hours in a week if you want to.

This would increase your wage and if you smart, it shouldn't really increase your living expenses. Car rego would be the same. Electricity, internet, fuel would be almost the same. You may spend more money going on holidays and going out for fancy dinners but that is it.

What do you guys think about my single person minimum wage calculation? What did I forget?

Aussie2doc:
I need the gurus to advise me. I am a medical doctor in private practice in Nigeria. I decided to relocate this last December so I did the part 1 of the board exam AMC MCQ and passed. I got a job in Australia so I am processing my limited registeration and my employer is sponsoring my TSS visa. I will be eligible for PR only after 3yrs of working with the employer on TSS VISA but I am 41 years this last march. If with this COVID 19, I can't resume earlier than march then by the time I am eligible for PR, I will be 45yrs old which will be the cut off point. I have another route which is to pass the clinical exam as soon as possible and after working for one year then I will be eligible for general registeration. With that I will get 65points immediately and by the time I add my age it is 80 already. With IELTS it will be more than 90. However I don't know wether the job will give me adequate time to read as the job I got is leading me directly to becoming a consultant GP in just 3yrs plus( subject to passing exams through PEP program too) So the last option is where I need advice. I am thinking of applying for PR directly while on TSS visa as a medical and welfare manager for 190subtype. I need vetasses. I started paying myself one million naira monthly salary just two months ago directly from my hospital account ( I am actually doing well in Nigeria in terms of money but I need better life and future for the kids) . So, I want to claim 10yrs experience as a manager using my clinic. But I am the manager and in the form, I need to fill the name of my employer. Should I just arrange a friend to do that? This is not fraud but I just don't know how to do it. The hospital is real. I make profit of more than three million per month so it is not fraud but I heard vetasses will call the employer and I am my employer so that is the problem. I need to get 8 points in IELTS but I know I can do that. My wife needs to get 6 points in IELTs and I think she can do that too. I hope to kick-start the PR visa before travelling on TSS visa so I won't be attached to my employer for the next 5 years. Although the money is good. A rural area with an initial 150k Australia dollars and within 3yrs I should be grossing up to 400k dollars as a VR GP by his grace. I am excited but I also need to secure this PR. If this don't work, them I will have to pass the clinical exam by fire by force before I finish my year 1 under supervision so I can get general registration and apply before 45

Note that I have read part one 603 pages... Part 2 220 out of 248 at least �. And read all 108 pages of life in Australia thread. My questions are from the places I'm not so clear about.

Thank you everyone for your contributions. I have learnt a lot.

Hmmm, I wonder how people travel to the U.S and still miss a county like Nigeria.
Guess people always long for what they don't have wether good or bad, it's really crazy.

money alone doesn't qualify you...if you think it does...find an agent.
