When you register for Post Utme, you'll be able to download the soft copy from your kofa page.
You can get the hard copy in the School.

Book with SAA they’re a bit expensive but it’s worth it. They’ll handle your luggages till you get to your destination and they have complimentary hotel reservations while there’s a stopover in Johannesburg.

A lot of people get in without been asked about polio vaccine at the point of entry, me inclusive but applications from certain countries like Nigeria will not be granted without a polio vaccine.

If you submitted your application without it, they will probably demand it from you later, if they are patient enough. The best thing is to go and do it and attach it to your application as soon as possible while it is being assessed. I added my English test a bit later, when we decided I better do it. You have the opportunity to add further documents even after application.

Yes, it will be demanded at the Australia's port of entry, they won't let you in WITHOUT IT.

yinqar:
Yes it is mandatory, as long as you are applying for a visa to get into Australia

Let me add to what solitin40 said, it's best you take pictures of the house from all angles to avoid whatever problems that might crop up when you want to leave as some landlords can say you damaged some parts of the house when you didn't those pictures can come in handy.

Solitin40:
A rental bond is a security deposit paid at the start of the tenancy.

If the property manager/owner takes a bond, they must give the tenant a receipt and lodge it with the RTA within 10 days. It is an offence not to do so.

A rental bond is lodged with the RTA online, or by post, using a Bond lodgement (Form 2).

The bond is paid back to the tenant when the property is vacated, provided no money is owed for rent, damages or other costs.

What would you like to know about Aus?
It's a beautiful country with lots of opportunities around you. You just have to identify them and cease those opportunities.

Sometimes it can be challenging for new ones but as time ticks bye, you find you feet, things starts to come together.

I will elaborate on specific inquiries.

Hello everyone,

Please i need Clarification.

I have a BSc in Computer science ( 3rd class).
OND in computer science.
Worked for 5 years as social worker.

I want to apply to Australia school to study Msc Social work or graduate diploma social work but i have different information from agents.

My question is:
1. Are there schools that will give me admission to study ms social work or graduate diploma social work considering i have Bsc computer science ( 3rd class)?

2. What are my chances with visa processing? Because first degree is computer science and intend to study social work.

3. Do i need to do a 2 year program , because i only have tution for one year. I don't mind working but how possible is it to pay tution fee with part time job?

Affordable school recommendations will be good.

Thank you all. ����

Good morning everyone. Please I was denied study visa in march based on gte and I didn't reapply, I'm yet to even request for my refund from the school. However, yesterday an agent from IOM Ikeja came to my place of work with a letter dated 22nd May, 2019 with the subject "verification of study leave approval letter" met the managing director and asked her to verify my position in the company. The agent also attached the study leave approval letter I submitted for my visa application and that the MD will have to answer a few question with company letter headed paper.
My question is- is this normal? What does this mean? Are they reviewing my documents again? Has anyone else experienced this?

Please help. Thank you
P. S- the company is a family owned, I did not use an agent for my application, the only rship I had with Iom was for medicals and it was in abuja.
Pss-- the letter said " The IOM on behalf of the Australian High Commission present their compliments to the MD and would like to verify the authenticity of the study leave approval of....... Applicant"

I don’t know about Egyptair. I used Turkish airline and it was really good.
Are you coming from Lagos?

GoodMemory:
I think the same info applies to international students but because they do not have full work rights, they are somewhat limited in their choice of jobs. Most of the international students I have seen do Sales reps jobs, , customer service, care, waiter/waitress jobs.

edkai:
Thank you so much for this write-up. Very enlightening, I must confess. My question is this; what kind of jobs should someone studying and unable to work full-time target? Are there additional strategies or approaches an international student should employ in order to land theses jobs?

Xsem:
Have you people paid the current awardees? Why looking for more people when you guys are yet to settle the current awardees?

Australian Experience

One of the biggest challenges new immigrants will face while trying to secure their first job in Australia is the issue of Australian work experience. This one thing has forced many people to abandon their chosen profession for the so-called survival jobs. Others have given up and forced to relocate back to wherever they came from. Can you really blame them?
Savings are getting depleted, bills are there pilling up in a strange land with no family or real friends to fall back on. What do you do? It can be quite frustrating as it is scary. It is worse if you do not come from a wealthy background. Even if you did, you do not want to perpetually rely on them. If you manage to get someone to send N250,000 from Nigeria, that is just a paltry $1000. It cannot even pay your monthly rent! Who will give you N250k in present day Nigeria? So, if it is your intention to migrate to Australia, you really need to come up with a plan and a strategy that will outlive the period of joblessness.

Gbam! what a thread... I don't want ro delay my story, so sit, relax and enjoy the good, bad and ugly.
.

Got in here last week of june, was picked by Jamson and Iceberg. May I mention that these guys have been really kind and wonderful. I stayed in the second room in jamson's place and did a forklift course within my first week of arrival and got a job after a week of arrival which was good to pay bills and savings.
