Welcome to Brisbane....You can start by doing those courses which about $1500, while applying for disability job.what uni are you coming to..

Joan011:


1. Is the A$40k per year if yes. Of course you can meet up

Get a room for $150/wk. Spend only on your necessities(bring lots of stuff from Nigeria that will help greatly)

Moreso, there are lots of jobs. Getting one ain't hard. P. S Prepare to take the aged care course or disability course.... There's money in that sector

What University did you get accepted into

Let me start by appreciating all, those who answered my questions, those who asked questions that I learnt from and those who are still waiting for theirs to land. Just know that it will end in praise. That's what I told myself during the wait period.

Visa application journey stated with medicals at Fatayi Williams clinic in Lagos on 18th July via emedical thanks to the advice of folks here who told me to front load my medicals and biometrics. Went for biometrics at vfs lekki a couple of times though. First time I didn't know I was meant to have applied for the visa before going for biometrics. Only took my international passport and ATM card. Was ask for a code that was meant to be on the visa application print out. Told the guy that I haven't applied for visa of which he asked me to apply and come back again. Went home that day sad.

Went home and applied for the visa and printed all the documents sent to my mail.
Second day, I came a bit close to their closing time. Asked to come another day as the time had passed. Went home angry.
Third day was the day I succeeded. Should be 28th July or so.
By this time even the security man has known my face

Then the wait started. On 28 August, received a mail asking me to upload my proof of funding. Uploaded on 3rd September.

And this morning I was telling God to just do his will. Everybody around me have been like "Guy how far? You still dey? When you dey comot?" I was just tired of answering the questions.

Funny enough a paper I sent for publication was rejected and I was just down and I got the mail this morning.
On checking my mail again I saw a mail from immi and my heart skipped. Even my data froze as downloading a document less than 100kb took me close to 30minutes.

Finally I saw it and I told myself " it has ended in praise "

Good evening everyone. I applied for visa on the 24th of June but actually my start date was 29th July and I got an extension till August 9th.Yeah I applied late. At some point, the school asked my agent for my reference number to chase up the embassy but unfortunately the visa didn't come out. On the 8th I got a mail from school to immediately withdraw my visa application that the fact they resumed coupled with the fact that their visa refusal profile shows that I might be at risk of getting a refusal,hence I withdrew. I'm about to re-apply for student visa and I want to know if I'd have to do another medical and biometrics. N.B I did my medical on the 18th of June and I guess that's still early. Please how do I go about it?

I prayed about visa grant deliveries this week with few people saying Amen.. and as hilarious as our God may be, He started the delivery with me! #Obaaseyiowu

MEDICAL: 28th May
VISA APPLICATION : 18th June
BIOMETRIC: 19th June.. (it would surprise you I did my biometric twice.... firstly on 18th June, then was called that my biometric wasn't successfully delivered, Australian government had to call VFS to call me for another one... was the only one called back for it out of the 31 people that did biometric on 18th June) .... You too see say my village people tried, but the God of Oyedepo pass them... Lol

CO contact: 31st July (requested for a new CoE)
New CoE uploaded : 2nd August
Visa Grant: 6th August

The visa dropped while I was on phone with my agent.. we were gisting , Lo and behold, he just shouted "ofemi o ti jade o" ....naso I began dance skelewu and now, I've switched to naira Marley.. Lol

For someone out there discouraged and trying to throw in the towel, let my testimony be enough to spark hope in you.. I got denied by Czech Rep in 2015 and US last August. Today marks it a year and two days those bastard at Walter Carrighton knack me "hammer" for head... but today, just see what the Lord has done.
Lemme say it again, all hopefuls will smile IJN.

Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth are the main happening cities, Adelaide is even considered as a regional area. Have been to Tasmania, what i noticed is sparse population, no functional train system aside the one going to mines, nearly every body have a car, job opportunities is limited but if you can live there getting PR is easier same as Northern Territory (Darwin) which has a more lesser population than Tasmania couple with harsh weather similar to that of Kano but Tasmania is the coldest state in Australia on average. I onced said on this forum that there is limited jobs opportunities in Tasmania and someone living there tackled me that there is enough jobs maybe i didn't explore enough, although i didn't stay more than four weeks and it was just a visit and that was my experience.
Melbourne has countless jobs opportunities in as much as you are not lazy & you don't mind doing any kind of job, regional Victoria like Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo have limited jobs opportunities that is why most students schooling in those areas have to come down to Melbourne to hustle which is not easy.
Jobs are in the big cities but limited in regional areas, schooling and living in regional areas will give you extra points while applying for PR and some regional areas may even sponsor you and this opportunity is not applicable to those schooling in the cities. Victoria for instance, only sponsor PHD holders in selected profession, that's why some Nigerians that came to study are moving to Tasmania after there studies while some are even applying for credit transfer before completing their studies (personally, i know of five Nigerians that have made such decision).
The choice is yours whether to have it easy in case your occupation is competitive by moving to regional area with limited jobs opportunities and the possibility of getting a state sponsorship or stay in the big cities with unlimited jobs opportunities and battle for PR.
PS: Those that are moving to regional areas are doing so for visa conditions, after getting PR and abiding by the conditions which maybe two to four years of living in a regional area couple with certain number of working hours, most have the intention of relocating to the big cities after satisfying their visa conditions.

What school

Softkey:
OMG... You don’t expect her to answer such question here on Nairaland.
Stuffs like this are better asked via direct message.

Loloantho:

Full scholarship excluding OSHC and travel allowances.
Documents submitted.
Certificates and transcripts.
Employment letter (university lecturer)

Did not hear anything from DIBP since after application. My status remained as further assessment since October.
I wrote them on Feb 4th but got no reply. I wrote again on March 4th and got the reply that my enquiries has been forwarded to the processing officers for action.
Got grant notification by 8:20 am, 12th March 2019.
Resumption date 1st April, 2019.

Pray without ceasing, only God can grant you the Visa, not your qualifications.

bligs:

AL1, AL2 and AL3 are ranking of Unis according to their assessment level, AL1 Unis are expensive and require less scrutiny compare to other assessment level Unis. You can apply for another masters before or after your post study work visa.
PS: post study work visa is once in a lifetime.

bligs:

It will more than fly, what he need to do is to present a strong SOP stating the need of a second Master and preferably he should go for any of the AL1 Uni. Countless number of naija doing their second Msc in which most presented their previous Msc cert while applying.
