They can't know that you have been refused if you don't tell them. I know people will contest this but I have many experiences on visa applications. There are loads of people deported from London that got USA visas etc.

As you have been denied by another country, it will surely limit your chances.you can include it and put all the evidences from canada embassy. Meanwhile your application will be thoroughly scrutinised so I will advise you provide them all your supporting documents a very good sop.

It depends on the case officer, he or she might be impressed that you opened up or he or she might increase scepticism towards to your application.

Pray.
The people you are referring to, was it pre or post biometric era? the introduction of biometrics by most countries(last 6-7 yearish) makes it easier (literally the click of a button) to detect migration fraud, so if Canada has your bio-metrics and you refused to declare that you had been refused by Canada, supposing DIBP decides to check randomly, what happens?
In my opinion, it pays to be truthful. Moreover,the thing most of us forget is that when we indulge in such shady practices, we spoil it for others,how? because this could attract unnecessary scrutiny for applications from Nigeria.

I strongly advise against putting false /misleading information in visa applications. Just be truthful and then pray !

thank you sir and God bless you.

sorry to bother you but i have few questions to ask again.
so one who goes for diploma too will not be given a 2yrs graduate visa?the mba has not been giving yet. we are just looking for cheaper fees

No diploma is not inclusive. Sorry

Another is,how can one who has a bsc in public administration study bsc nursing since no background of sciences. does it mean writing another WAEC?

Don't inform them you already have a degree in public admin otherwise you may find it hard securing admission with the school. Just enrol as a freshman. And NO i dont think you need to rewrite a waec.

tbanks.





There is a graduate entry option into nursing for people without a nursing qualification,how about trying that option instead? depending on your age, you may have a bigger fish to fry ( if you do not declare your previous bsc) in an attempt to explain the gaps (i.e what you were doing during the periods you were actually studying for your bsc pub admin , which I presume will be 4 years ? ) there are also graduate entry options into social work you may wish to consider that as well

i wish to change my career to nursing, i have bsc in physic already i will like to apply for bsc in nursing for july intake. am 30 years i want to know my chance of admission and visa grant.

can i file together with my husband and son?

we have 20m in our sponsor account

thanks [/quote

Your visa grant depends on your ability to convince the Case officer of your reason for career change, if you're planning to change to NUrsing, I'd advise you apply for the Master Of Nursing Practice (Univ of New England has an October entry, Edith Cowan and some other universities offer this course.It is a graduate entry option into nursing for people with non nursing qualifications(although they do accept people with non Australian nursing qualifications too) , graduates of this course are eligible to register with ANMAC-Australia Nursing & Midwifery ........body .
PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE ARE SOME UNIS THAT OFFER THE MASTER OF NURSING COURSE WHICH DOESNT LEAD TO REGISTRATION WITH ANMAC,SO PLEASE read the details of the course very well before applying

when I last checked, universities offering the master of nursing practice( course name varies) --i.e graduate entry nursing that leads to ANMAC registration include:
Monash
Univ Of Queensland#
Curtin
UNE
UniMelbourne
Univ Sydney

Most Australian assessing bodies follow the AEI-NOOSR CEP which is done according to institution. Institutions can fall under section 1 or section 2.

For section 1 Institutions, BSc (4 or 5 years) is equivalent to an Australian BSc degree while for section 2 Institutions, Bsc (4years) is equivalent to an Australian associate degree but a 5year BSc degree is equivalent to an Australian BSc degree.

Simply put, if your institution falls under section 2 and you studied for 4years, you'll most likely get a negative outcome. VETASSESS follows this to the letter. The others, not so much.
I wonder if anyone knows if BABCOCK falls under institution 1 or 2. Has anyone had a BABCOCK degree assessed as equivalent to an Australia Bsc ?
I checked the aforementioned country education profile and it appears I'm required to pay AUD 318 to get this info, anyone with access to this platform please? Willing to pay ( though less than 318). Thanks

[quote author=WestAfrican post=54124704][/quote]Flinders university has a graduate entry option for non social work gradautes. I.e you can gain a Masters qualification in social Work even if your BSc isn’t related to social work
http://www.flinders.edu.au/courses/rules/postgrad/msw/

graduates of courses listed here are eligible to for membership with Ausstrlian association of social workers
https://www.aasw.asn.au/careers-study/accredited-courses

a word of advise, always read the course information properly, check accreditation status and if it confers eligibility to register with the respective professional body,e.g there are some Master of nursing courses offered to international students which don’t confer eligibility to practice as a nurse in ~Australia. Same goes for teaching, for Masters level students, if you’re aiming to register with the Teaching professional organisation in Australia, then you should enrol on the master / post grad diploma of teaching and not EDUCATION

Did you contact the OSHC provider directly? theirs is always more expensive, why not go through your UNI, it is usually cheaper when you buy through your UNI

hello house, ive been a salient follower of this thread. I got an offer from deakin uni last week. Master of Architecture. feb 2017 is the resumption date. I want to pay the deposit fees and OSHC (AU16,787) as soon as possible, so I can get my coE and start my visa processing fast.

How will i go about the payment? (the cheapest possible way). I've been hearing people talking about form A, what is form A? (pardon my ignorance pls). Will i need a huge bank account statement before I can be granted visa. What are the other things I must note? I welcome all other advices and suggestions from d house.

btw.. who else is going to deakin next year.

Quick one Matand, and other gurus

Congrats on your recent grant. Hubby just got the CoE this morning from RMIT. Pls we have 2 dependents we are including in the visa application a 2yr old and 10yr old respectively. Do i have to enroll the 10yr old in school before i can proceed with the visa application process. Your prompt response will be highly appreciated.
Yes you are required to enroll your 10yr old in a school prior to lodging your visa application because s/he is requires a proof of enrollment

hello all,
just wondering if HND accounting (I know this is below Bachelors on AQF ) and ICAN would yield a positive result from Vetasses for Internal Auditor? well, in theory will ICAN alone suffice for a positive assessment?

Thanks

chookudi:
Just a few lines to correct an erroneous assumption usually made her for prospective accountant migrants. You DO NOT have to submit your ICAN qualifications together with your B.Sc to get a positive assessment. I always thought this was the case especially with advice I got from people who had done theirs (the advice though was very useful and I really appreciate them) but my wife's assessment has proven otherwise. WE submitted both her B.Sc (from UNILAG) with her ICAN and both were INDEPENDENTLY assessed as being equal to an Australian degree. As a matter of fact we submitted a third qualification (so as not to take any chances) which was d Accounting technician qualification for west africa but unsurprisingly it was equated to an associated degree.
Anyway my point is it is advisable to use both ICAN and B.sc but not compulsory
Which assessment body please and for which accounting profession? thanks

Hello there, was drawn to comment on this one. With ACCA Uk , you will most definitely get a positive assessment with ICAA or other acting bodies. Also if your experience in accting n auditing was post qualification, it can even give you additional 10points.

We have had guys on this forum that got a positive assessment with just their ICAN results.
But dude , you need to read extensively, requirements on the Australian immigration website and also in relation to the assessing body. That would do you a lot of good.
Cheers
Reference please?

Hello House, I have been reading the comments and need to appreciate all the good work you guys are doing.

Please I am considering relocating to New Zealand, my wife and I both have first degrees in management and about 7 years working experience each. we have two kids (3 & 1+). I would really appreciate the best and fastest route to immigrating. The major reason for leaving is for our kids and obviously the better conditions of living. Even though I earn about 300k monthly, I don't see it providing a decent future for my wife and kids.

I have recognizable professional certificates in CIPS and APICS. I have been a supply chain professional (Procurement & expediting) for over 7 years. I am 32 while my wife is 29. Please I would appreciate any assistance the guru's can provide.
You are good to go with CIPS for New Zealand, I know of someone currently processing this

Hello

I recently got an admission to study nursing in NZ ,I did my Bsc and PGD in the UK

I have read through the immigration website but uncertain about the following, I wonder if you will be kind enough to shed some light?

1) If the spouse of international students studying for Bsc on the skills shortage list are eligible for work visa? If yes, what are the work rights attached to the work visa in question?

2) If the spouse of the international student in question is eligible for a visitor visa ( i.e in the event of ineligiblity for a work visa) , if yes, what are the work rights?

3) Are the children (primary school age) covered under the spouses' application ? or are they required to apply separately? If applying seperately, what type will each of the children apply for?

4) visa application costs

5) general job prospects, to keep body and soul together at the first in
