Good morning everyone.
I'm having some challenges with payment of fees.
Deakin University only does online payments.
And to pay from Nigerian banks, you need to put in an account number when filling the Form A.
I contacted the agent and they advised using Western Union. However the banks I have visited are saying they only receive western union, they don't send.
Can someone please advise.
Thanks
Check your offer letter, all the necessary info you need regarding the payment of your fees will be stated there (school account details and your payment ID) , present the letter to your financial institution and they will used it to bid forex for you through Form A with CBN.
PS: The only avenue through which you can get a fair rate/CBN rate is through Form A.

Have you paid your initial fee? If yes, you should contact the school if its more than a week. Covid-19 has not effect on eCOE but on visa grant and international travel.

hello guys .. I need your advic.. can I move to Australia as a plumber with 5 million naira ?? or is there any blue collar job I can learn here in Nigeria that will help me migrate to Australia
5m should be enough for all the process but you will need government accredited certificate in plumbing or OND and at least minimum of one year working experience to get a positive assessment from TRA

PS. I don't know if plumbing in Australia is the same as the one in Nigeria ..
There are roof plumbers, gas plumbers and your regular PVC plumbers, the most important thing is that plumbing is selling.

hello please I have some questions for you, the house and any one that has finished nursing or is on in Australia. My sister has a bsc in biochemistry and I’m looking for institutions that allow graduate entry for two years. ACU is the cheapest I’ve seen so far.
Did you go through the graduate entry program or normal bsc?
do you think nurses will need the extra points offered by schooling at regional areas? I know it’s on the sol but she will need to raise her second year fees and upkeep with no support from home so I’m bothered about ease of getting good jobs.
Did you have to raise funds your self and how did you cope with that and the hours your supposed to complete for simulations and clinical practice.
Can you help with an estimate of how much additional fees you had to pay per semester for other things aside tuition?
My sister will be going after nysc so can anyone help with ideas on how to show strong ties to the country. She’s not married and probably won’t be working by then.
Thanks a lot.

There's different between Diploma in Nursing, Graduate Entry and Bsc in Nursing, you won't know this till your accreditation with ANMAC that's why they are classified as registered nurse, enrol nurse, clinical nurse etc.

Extra points is essential as the higher your points the higher your chances of ITA irrespective of occupation, though most state are sponsoring Nursing as it is regarded as essential occupation.

Raising of school fees depends on individual and location, despite the hustling and bustling nature of Melbourne and Sydney there are some people that are still struggling in these cities while some are finding it easy in Tasmania.

Estimated fees for her program will be stated on her offer letter.

PS. I haven't meet any one that got grant from naija to study graduate entry in Nursing here that doesn't mean that there's not, those that i have encountered actually change from their initial course upon arriving.

okay since MPH isnt in the list what do you suggest @bligs and any other person with any idea
~~I am planing to go to Australia for masters and subsequently write their Medical Exams and practice as a GP
~~Im a medical Doctor with 4years post Housejob experience, being working mainly in private Hospitals. Did MMBS in Turkey but English was 100% the language of instruction,then NYSC and all

1.Please any Doctor practicing as a GP in Australia or doing MSc?
2. if yes, please which Masters do you recommend that would be a plus in my career and which school? (A city I can easily find job while studying)
3. Wanted to go for Public Health, but last I checked, MPH isnt in Australian list of skilled occupation, then Radiology but must of its MSc courses are online, Social workhuh have less info on this dont know if md's can do it
5. Is IELTS required in all universities? An agent told me in Griffith for example a WAEC English grade of C5 or better is ok
4. what are your recommendations please. N.B Im Planing to sit for AMC exams during my MSc period
planning to commence studies in 2021
Thank you
Go through this link and see if there is any Msc on SOL you can do with your MBBS.
https://www.mastersportal.com/study-options/271745116/human-medicine-australia.html
Not all schools required IELTS as some just need letter from your institution stating that all courses are taught in English.
Not sure whether you can get admitted for Social work with MBBS.

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.
I am not trying to scare you, just saying that shouldn't be your priority but if it happens fine. Dating is allow across all race and you may even be fortunate to meet a very good Aussie, everything is up to you and what you want and on the other hand two years may pass without having a relationship. You are right, information is paramount and make sure you align with the right set of people.

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?
You shouldn't be even thinking about this but if it happens fine, honestly most ppl that i know are living in regret, some old folks have to go back to naija to remarry secretly. Some are left in the lurch due to the waiting period of two years to get partner visa, the other party call it quit and they have to start all over again. There are many other pathways better than putting yourself in an uncertain situation. Also, over 60k backlog of people are on waiting list for partner visa, some are there for over two years and at the end of the day, you will find out that those that struggle to get their PR are ahead of you while you doing everything to satisfy your Aussie bride for things not go south.
Your best bet is schooling in a state that 190 or worst-case scenario 491 is guarantee after studies.
PS: Ask on the student thread about experience regarding dating Aussies talkless of marriage.

Congratulations

Please can you share your transition story from Visa 500 to 887. This may help ginger some people. Thanks
Student visa 500 to Regional visa 489 (now replaced with 491) to PR 887.
PS. The new 491 can't lead to 887, the condition for 491 to PR is making minimum of $53k in at least 3years out of the 5years duration.
There are some other classes of visa that can lead to 887 (495, 496, 475, 487)

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
Nobody can guarantee you this, not even now that Coro has interrupted nearly all sectors and will take a while for things to be back to normal, also its depend on individual and location.

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

I may be wrong though
Relaxation for temporary visa holders to enter the country but same yardstick will be use to issue visa.

[quote author=naphy post=93580334][/quote]Public health won't give you anything other than two years post study work as it's not on the Skilled occupation list. To practise as a medical doctor, you have to write and pass the exam organise by AHPRA https://www.ahpra.gov.au/
PS: You can write the exam onshore or offshore, only two centres to write this exam in Africa, Egypt and South Africa, and atmost two seatings in a life time.
Also, there's nothing like cheap school in Australia as an average Msc will cost you around 4m per semester.
Apply with your kid, it is easier to get a grant in a single application than subsequent entrant.

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.
Did you graduate from a University under the Dublin or Washington accord? If your degree is from Nigeria, you are not eligible.

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 am currently running a masters program in Unilag(we were supposed to have rounded up),the current ASUU strike as put things to a halt for now.
I would like to confirm if my chosen field of study can get me PR after my studies?
Nothing like low tuition university in Australia, an average Msc fee per semester in any university is close to 4m, with your years of experience have a look at the PR thread.

Thank you sir, I did the mock point assessment and my point was on 85 for 189 and I read 189 needs very high points esp. for EA professions.
Good morning all & happy Sunday
The occupation ceiling/cap for civil engineers in this financial year for 189 is 1000 slots and so far only 5ppl have been invited. The issue is if your are certain that your 5years working experience will be approve you can actually lodge two different EOI, one for 189 and hope that the points will drop to 85 and the other for VIC 190 then you go for whichever ITA that come first.

please contact at : priscatitila@yahoo.com
Logistics/Supply chains is big in Australia, you stand a chance of state sponsorship after your two years of studying in Tassie and the downside is jobs opportunities to support yourself and family is limited compare to other places. Prepare financially for at least your first year and you are good to go.

Hello everyone, happy to be here, please I am interested in the Australia PR process, I have a Civil Engineering bachelors degree and 5years 10 months related experience, please given the recent migration trends which profession is best to apply for (that gives faster 190/491 visa, EA, Draftsperson or a TRA profession).

Please I would really appreciate your opinions. Tnx
Assess with EA as a professional Civil engineer, if you can gather up to 90points go for 189 and if your 5years working experience isn't cut, hopefully Victoria won't change their conditions for 190 as regards to engineering professions come October then you can give 190 a trial with your 5years working experience. 491 comes with conditions depending on states.

Another question, is it possible to get jobs in disability care without doing the 8weeks training? There was an argument about this in students thread.
Very possible to work in disability without any certification like Cert IV or diploma and experience. You just need First Aid, CPR, Police check, Working with children check etc. Though, if you wanna go far and make good money as a support worker, you will need a certification and Australian driving licence.
