Good day my people,

I have a friend who completed a 'Doctor of Medicine' degree from an Ukrainian university looking to start her PR Journey but a bit confused on steps towards achieving a positive ECA assessement for highest degree. (i would like to hear more from anyone in similar situation)

1. Since Ukraine is in war, how possible is it to get her transcript sent to WES? is it okay for her to use the original Transcript already issued by the school on completion of her studies in 2019? or just email WES to explain the situation?

2. will WES assess her 'Doctor of Medicine' degree as a professional degree needed to practise in a licenesed profession (eqivalent to masters degree level of education) or should she assess with IQAS?

Looking forward to a beautiful reply. Thank you.

Good day everyone,

My brother just started his Canadian PR Journery. He is a Product Manager in a Nigerian Bank with a masters degree in Business Administration. Could anyone please advise which NOC is best suited for a Product Manager? Thank you.

hi guys,
asking for a friend who finished her masters program from covenant university....

Hello everyone, I am new here. I’m wondering if anyone has any contact in Federal University of Technology Akure FUTA who can help with transcript. Thank you

You can apply for an etranscript online and get it posted to the address of the organisation you work .
https://www.futa.edu.ng/etranscript/

Your agent is only trying to hook you in to secure his cut from the school. You dont have to pay any commitment fee to defer your admission. If in doubt, contact the school directly.

Naijabad:
Hello everyone,

I just joined this great forum. I can say that you guys are doing a great job passing awesome information.
Keep it up.

Please I have a question that is currently bothering me. Someone should please clear me before I make a mistake.

I just got my admission letter from UTAS for academic session starting July 2020.

I want to defer it to next session starting February 2021 for the following reasons:

A) short notice.

B) covid 19 and lockdown issues.


My agent is suggesting I pay the commitment fees to obtain my COE before I can defer the admission.

I am confused here because, I know VISA period is based on the date on the COE.

Cant the admission be deferred without paying any fees? I want to get a new admission letter stating february 2021 before I can pay commitment fees.


Please advice on the ways out of this.

Afra88:


This is because for your primary NOC is has to be at least 1 year of continuous work or 1,560 hours total (30 hours per week). For your primary NOC experience is less than 1 year ( from Oct 2019 - )

Given that your other NOC 2151 is within the last 10 years, you can use that instead. Hoping you are able to get all needed reference letters and evidence needed.

I followed your suggestion. It worked. Thanks a bunch Afra88

Stubborn guy , u no won hear word, bro on a serious note , Wollongong is too far and isolated from the city, rent there is not cheap, even Newcastle is better than Wollongong since there are lots of disabilty jobs there , if you still insist on Wollongong then prepare to wake up by 4am everyday if you want to work in the city , all the best

lol..leave him..he will learn..people need to know that everywhere no stew for Aussie.

Construction management actually

Hello house
Big congrats to those offered visa recently. And to those still expecting it will surely be a positive outcome.
Going to 5 months now since residing in Melbourne, Australia via student’s visa. I must say its been challenging and as well worthwhile.
When it comes to work, it feels easy to travel hundreds of kilometers for a good paying job but difficult to travel 15mins to see a friend and hangout. Every minute counts here, you would want to make the best of it. You have to be flexible and proactive.
the weather? i say great. Spring is my best. Its summer now, the weather is like an average Nigerian’s but could go higher or lower in just few minutes. A joke says if you dont like the current weather wait 5mins..lol.
Food is good could get ample amount of nigerian foods to cook and store in fridge. Best way to save your money. If you like continental dishes too, you will find lots around but could be quiet expensive.
One thing to note. Funding studies through income from jobs you do could be the hardest thing though possible. You would need to do atleast two jobs working almost round the clock esp if you are enrolled in a high tuition uni. That could make you lose your sense of existence. Better still have 2 out of the 4 semester tuition fees ready or atlesst a semester and a half, that would not only give you a relaxing mind when you come but also give you enough time to get job and save for semesters to come. Half to one semester fee out of four might constitute you a nuisance or make you eventually change school which i think is becoming a risky step to take now.
Overall. All is welcomed. Australia is the place to be. Just plan ahead so you wont suffer too much while studying.
Ps. If you are coming in to melbourne this January, PM me, could refer you for a job opening in a warehouse. Not the best of pay.. but would contribute a great deal to helping you to start. Thanks guys. I dey go work now

Touch down #Tullamarine. Had issue with first flight ticket. Denied boarding by Egypt air. No technical explanation though, only said that my connecting flight at bangkok was a low cost airline.(made me miss my free airport pickup arranged by the school). Booked and flew emirate next day straight to melbourne. One stop over at abu dhabi. POE at tullamarine was easy. Only had to show international passport nd submit entry card. No other documents was asked.. retrieved my baggage and boarded a fare to my destination. Its been God. For those still awaiting visa. The wait is almost over. Blessing and favour would keep locating all of us as we step into this beautiful country.

Good evening Gurus in the house.

I have some inquiries to make please;

How do i get referral code/note from my prospective schools in Australia, when I tried applying via BCIE they ask of my referral code/note and they told me if i don't have it, i will have to pay 75K. Help please?

Also can I apply for admission and secure admission to Australian Universities without using the school agents? I hope applying myself won't delay the process?

Can someone help me with some list of schools in Australia that doesn't require Application fees?

U r gonna be paying millions of naira to study nd u r bothered abt application fee..lol
Most Aussie schools would require u go through an agent. Save urself the stress

Congratulations Dotter8,

Your school would have cancelled your COE by now for non appearance for class, so please dont travel unless you have gotten another COE and you have informed DIBP accordingly.

October is around the corner, and you can travel by september.

Inform your school for new COE and inform DIBP, plsssssssss

I have recieved an updated offer letter from the school and my visa still covers for the duration of study.
Would request for a new coe soon before travelling.
Hoping to make it to aussie by August

Hello house. A second opinion woud be well appreciated.
Got my visa grant yest monday 24th July 2017 which apparently was my latest start date. I sent school an email yesterday for a further extention informing them of my arrival later this week as the delay was due from the embassy. They responded saying that i should not go ahead with my travel plans that the faculty is not accepting further late enrollments. As such, my recored has been automatically deffered to the nearest enrollement date which is oct/Nov and i was informed abt the issuance of a new coe in few days.
I'm really divaststed and confused right now as to what next to do.
Could i go to autralia now work before study commence in nov?

noscarn91:

So they approved the visa even after the extension was exhausted?

Yeah

kelsy90:
@ Dotter 8
Am happy for you. Did they ask for your extension letter?
And when is your extended resumption date?

No they didnt ask for an extention letter.
My latest start date was laste week friday 21st july 2027.
I just sent an email to the school now informing them that i would be arriving school later this week.

Children of God will you shout alleluja

Its a real testimony people, up until friday midnight i hadnt lost hope of getting my grant infact i bought a new travelling box this weekend, ironed and arranged all my cloths with the strong hope of getting visa grant this week.
A friend asked me this morning ' how far visa neva
Show? Nd that immediately reminded me to check my email. Lo nd behold visa grant
To all expecting visa..this week would not pass you by in Jesus name. Just have a strong believe and be hopeful.
Would also advice all hopefuls to check their emails regularly. The longer it takes u to reponds to the request of an additional document from your case officer the longer it would take for an apporved visa grant.
Eyin temi ni melbourne..im coming

So no grants today...whooosh maybe i should wait till midnight

People here are very busy waiting for visa


The good thing for you is that the money will be there for three months.

Make sure the account is busy during that period through withdrawals and desposits.

And when you want to print. Choose dates when the balances are huge during the three months.

Thats all.

checking email like every seconds.
