It’s getting serious.

Canada detected two cases from travellers from Nigeria. I hope this won’t have a huge effect on our people.

Once Africa is involve, it is just a matter of time before they will add Nigeria to their list.

Read News and update yourself about the happenings around the world.

Citizens and Permanent residents have been entering for months now.

The December 1 is just the date to free some temporary visa holders to enter.

Are you forced to take the vaccine? No
Is it compulsory you leave Nigeria? No

We’re only here to update people with open minds who might find some information useful.

Weather it adds up or not is left to you to decide.

Define force? When i have to show a particular stuff before i can do something, it is then mandatroy; it is force.

Froshloaded:
They might ban flights because of this new covid variant.

Done already

Softkey:
Now anyone coming from Africa to NSW must enter 14 days quarantine irrespective of their vaccination status.

All these doesn't add up.
They said they will re-open border on 1st, how come people have been entering before 1st?

Well, person like me does not believe in these Cov!d 19 chicken Sh!t, the only way that vacc!ne can enter my body for formality sake is if i am 100% certain that i dey enter that jand.

Eeeeh...people dey do juju come agree to sacrifice something important to them, i can tender my health for this their Guinea-Pigism if needs be and that there's certainty.

How do I go about this application?
I'm a Civil Engineer.
Thanks

Information about this can be found at the first 10 pages of this thread

Naijabad:
This actually got me thinking.

You are right but aren't prepared for the travel in a very short notice. Our plan has been middle of January next year.

I'm total confused right now. I don't want her to be caught in another web of lockdown either in Nigeria or Australia banning Nigeria migrants.


What do we do now?

Neccessity is the mother of invention.
As U.S is announcing the ban of Southern African Countries, we do not expect others to do the same, rather thay will put locking them out into action.

We have no other option than to flow with the current or prepare going against the grain.

Naijabad:
Is anyone travelling this December or January 2022 as borders are now open?

Has anyone booked flight yet?

I intend booking my wify's flight ticket next week for middle of January 2022.

Book immidiately and follow any available flight that is going DownUnder Ooo.

Another lockdown is coming.
They are either creating monsters or using people as guinea pigs

December 1st should come faster, so those who wants to travel can hop on that plane and leave ooO.

With this new flight bans from most Southern African countries due to their unEnding Cov!d 419 PlanDemic mutant claims, it won't be long before our cr@zy govt would say they see such virus here and we will be banned once more from travelling.

So does that mean one cannot secure admission without agents?

That's what it looks like these days. Even if one is making headway they will still tell you to contact one of their agencies.

NB1912:
I understand life can be busy sometimes and that's why there are agents for people like you Unfortunately, i can't advise you which agent to go for. You can check google for reputable agents in Nigeria. Alternatively, you can check for pages in this thread where some have mentioned the agents they used and if they were professional or not.

Well, i believe virtually all the Universities in Aussie for Undergraduate studies are now using AGENTS, and most of the Agents contacts are in some of them school's website.
I was the last person from West Africa that was given admission without Agent back in 2015.(my payment cleared before they barred not using Agents)

We had Zoom conference on Saturday with UQ Rep which was organized by Mel Education Agency.
I think they reps many schools because i got their contact from UTS website.

Naijabad:
Please where can one obtain International Drivers' license in Nigeria?

I do not know if such License exists, na the same drivers license people are using.
I believe it can be used for a couple of months before a restriction can get to it.

Kelwell:
Good day Gurus in the house, do we have any WhatsApp or Telegram group chat for DIY Australia PR

So as you came in here and read from Page 1 to where we are now, that is not okay for U ni?

You were scrolling information as if it was paid for, and you still want a platform that when someone just get in new, they won't be able to know what happened 1 minute before they entered?

Here is all we've got 0ga!

ladun27:
They requested for statement of account again and health insurance papers

Sorry to ask, Self sponsored?

DrCollins218:
Good day everyone,
Please can anyone furnish me with a link to a thread about life in Australia for new arrivals.

Thanks and God bless you all.

You can get all the information you seek about living in Australia here : https://www.nairaland.com/4107449/living-australia-life-australian-immigrant/113#107141750

Start from 0 page of it.

This Cov!d Vaccine, have they started forcing people to get the jab before starting work?

I just saw this.

anayolity:
See how this thread just grew cold.
Many people were able to settle in properly on arrival with the aid of this thread through other people's advice and experiences yet they couldn't even come to show gratitude by guiding others through.

See how very scanty this great thread is, something we once enjoyed.

Very true.
Though the sluggishness of the V.O in dishing out visas might be a factor, and you know those that has gotten grants have not been able to get in since 2020.

Also many students who got grants do not know about the thread's existence?

The latter we can work on by pasting the threads link in Student's page.

AyaE:
Apologies for the late response. Reach out to me using my moniker and I'll send it.

Can't rememberthe full meaning of NPC but I remember my folks did it at Alausa.

Please check your Mail.
thanks.

NHQGUY:
It hasn't changed, it's still 70something Thousand naira.

Thanks, this info will go a long Way

NHQGUY:
MOD.
I applied on the 25th of June.
Got a mail on 8th of July confirming they've processed and it will uploaded within 3 to 21 days.
Turned out I had to wait till today when I got the email to pick up the result and new TRF.

Do u know how much they do IELTS nowadays?

AyaE:
Hello Guys, my grant just came in today!!!!
Thanks to everyone who has contributed on this thread one way or the other on this thread. It has helped immensely.
My time line:
Submitted application-31st July 2019
Conditional offer- 15th July 2019
CoE- 24th November 2019
Biometrics- 27th December 2019
Submitted Visa Application- 25th January 2020
IELTS Score- 7.0 (I had a minimum band score of 7.0 so my average was 7.0). I got a waiver from the school so I didn't need IELTS for school admission. My agent advised I write one for visa so I did.
School- Flinders University
Sponsor's account: My maternal uncle. Submitted 2 bank statements. One had 18m and the other was a fixed deposit account that matures every 30days. It had 13m.
Course- Social work (masters)
BSc- Microbiology

Submitted my credentials, letter from sponsor, proof of relationship to sponsor (uncle & Mum's NPC) and sponsor's account statement. I didn't submit payslips or my account statement sha.
Challenges faced: I already had an MSc in Microbiology so applying for a second masters was what I had to prove. Plus, with Social Work being a high risk course I had to write a convincing SOP. (I can share that with anyone interested cos mehn this took me like a month to write). My work experience was also a bonus cos I work as a care assistant.
Sometime in December the bank statement I used for the school admission could no longer be used cos he had to move the funds to another bank for investment reasons. He had to submit another letter to this effect. He also had to back it up with the fixed deposit account.
School resumes on Monday so if anyone could help with flight and accommodation links, I'd be most grateful.

Thank God!!!!!!!

If the bolded offer is still on the table, I will love to have the sample.

ocpaschal:
My fam had similar experience too. He also submitted his medicals around March or so this year. He later received call from d embassy on May 2021 to which he was asked to forward his sponsor's 6-months bank statement and a review of his personal statement to them. Finally, the wait is over. He just got his visa grant today. Earlier this morning, he decided to call his education agent indicating that he will study his courses online.. So the agent had to contact d Australian university to seek assurance that he will get his student visa and to let them know that he wants to resume online class by next week 26th July. It was just this afternoon he received a email notification of his visa grant. God is glorious.

NB: I also want to add that my fam wrote on his personal statement that he intended to resume classes on the reunion date July 2021.

^{Congratulations}.... just a day before you were confused on the next step to take, Day Break everywhere burst. _Miraculous. I tap
