@ olabode et all,

I am still waiting for a decision to be made on my application. Please can you help with anyone ready to share a room. I don't want to be stranded on accommodation when everything is finally sorted. Destination is either kuopio or mikkeli (aalto).

Thanks for the anticipated response.

Hi, there should be a student housing body in that city. I am sure the school included info about housing when you were granted admission. For example you can check moas.fi for Mikkeli. Its easier if you can get an apartment as a student, then you can get someone already here to share with. I only know much about Otaniemi campus and not the other campuses.

Cheers!

SCHOOLDROPOUT:
BAD NEWS ON A MONDAY MORNING. Rejected. Sent my supplementary documents in the midnight and i just got the decision. I feel so bad now! The 900k was flagged.




For where?! God ejected my rejection, Migri come reject my stay in Naija to do my Msc say I must enter Suomi
RESIDENCE PERMIT MADLY GOT APPROVED.
Thanks to everyone mhen! Una too much.
Explained my plight to olabode89 via PM and he, without asking, requested for my phone number to call and brainstorm in order to find a way out for me. That's altruism at its peak; a rarity. Thanks so much baba. Sirkezman responds to my mail every now and then to also give useful suggestions. Katolistic always calling to know wassup n make positive wishes. Oga Iceberg54 always responding(not to me alone) but everyone's querries. And ultimately, dahonestboss ,who started the thread.
Thanks to y'all fam here including many i didnt mention: hakeembe, anniekoko. Everyone! Don't know what I'm saying right now!
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Helsinki maa gbalejo! Amaa tena wole!

Chai!...You ehn!...those first few lines got me. Congrats bro.

Dem suppose give you more than one RP o, with the 50 admissions wey u get .

Book flight asap, that thing can be expensive. A day or two to the start of orientation will be okay. And start getting stuffs too. The orijin wey dey Olabode89 house go reach 50 cartons. But he go don finish am before August sha, so buy come for am o.

And how far with HOas too?

Cheers bro. Tervetuloa Suomi!!!

antosco:
@katolistic do you bear the same surname as your uncle.?. Am asking because someone said she used her uncle last year but was denied because they bear different surname.

Pls other bosses in the house I need your advice too sirkezman, iceberg54, olabode89

She can't be denied based on that. She's not telling you the whole story. A lot of people use uncles with different surnames and get their permits.

SCHOOLDROPOUT:
Got this from Migri

We kindly ask you to supplement your residence permit application.

I'm mostly concerned about 2.
My sponsor transferred from her second account( salary account) to the new account with her old surname.
My plan is to get a statement of account showing the transfer of the 900k from the second account to the other account and resend payslips,employment letter and include office ID. Must i provide 6 months statement of account for the second account too?


Cc: sirkezman, olabode89, iceberg54 and other veterans

Boss, its normal for them to ask for clarifications, so no cause for alarm. Just follow Olabode's advice. Get the other bank statement and include a Letter explaining everything.

Cheers sir!

SCHOOLDROPOUT:
Yeah, even people wey book appointment as at last month dey get almost two months after as date of appointment. Despite say i do interview relatively early, na today be the 20th day after my interview.

Make i borrow this cliche saying: "Patience is a virtue"

Bro, in the good old days, 20 days na nothing o. Mine was June 10 to August 14. And them go first ask for some clarifications sef, before the grant.

So just be patient. No worry. Migri never forget you.

SCHOOLDROPOUT:
Baba, thanks o. I just wan apply nio. So, I dey reason which one go make sense. Make I dey the kumpula campus gangan or some distance away?

Yeah, if possible. It's always good to stay as close as possible to campus.

SCHOOLDROPOUT:
Abehg, bosses in the house. How far accomodation for Helsinki sehf? My campus na kumpula. Shey e go make sense make person get accomodation for outskirts? Like for Pitäjänmäentie 13?

If u cant get something closer, then its fine. I think it should be about 30min away. Then train station dey pitänjämaki so e go dey easy to move around. Shey na HOAs wan arrange u for there?

Hello house,
This here is just another grant story!

Woke up this morning to the 'mysteriously exciting' sound of my phone alarm; after turning it off, I checked my emails and therein, lined one after another , were 3 emails containing 189 visa grants for spouse, baby and I! Good start to the day for sure!

My timeline goes thus:

11/07/2015 - IELTS L/R/W/S: 9/9/7/7.5 10 points
22/02/2016 - PTE-A L/R/W/S: 90/87/90/89 20 points
07/03/2016 - EA Assessment submitted (Fastrack)
16/03/2016 - Positive assessment received
16/03/2016 - EOI lodged with 65 points
23/03/2016 - EOI Invite received
05/03/2016 - Medicals and PCC
17/04/2016 - Visa lodged
27/04/2016- CO Contact for transcripts and baby polio certificate
17/05/2016- Transcripts uploaded
19/05/2016- Grant!

With PTE-A score of 20 points, I applied without claiming work experience points.

Thanks to everyone on this thread who answered queries, dropped their 2cents et al. They were quite helpful!
And for those still waiting, you shall receive!

Congrats bro...i tap into this.

I am doing PTE soon and from my practice so far, i still feel IELTS is easier to clinch the max points. My IELTs was 9,9,8.5,7 - L,R,W,S. And the 7 was largely due to the fact that my interviewer was not a native english speaker and I noticed some difficulties in her myself. I didn't know a lot about Oz PR then so i didn't bother, if i did, would have contested the S. I believe with good practice, you can clinch 8 in reading.

I suggest you go through PTE materials amd familiarize yourself with the exam, it will give you an idea of what to expect and help you decide. Maybe when i write PTE and i get the 20 points, i will change my mind

Cheers!

00francis:
It was the general test...I'm in the UK.
I'm only looking at PTE because of some posts I've seen on this thread, suggesting it is easier than IELTS.

With this your " don't even think about it " statement, I'm confused...why?

This question is for everyone in the house, PTE or IELTS, what would you recommended for someone who's trying to clinch the max points for English?... my first IELTS was 8.5, 7, 8, 8.5 - L, R, W, S.

beyunce:
Yes it is possible. SINP have their own requirements. So if your total points is 57, you are not eligible for SINP.

Okay, Thank you.

katolistic:
Omo e plenty ohhh, i cant fit write

When someone is sponsored by Femi Otedola.....RP go show within 2 days nah.

beyunce:
SINP has updated the application guide and introduced new occupations in demand. Some NOCS were also removed from the demand list. The new list is very short .This means, they might open for EE soon. So if your noc is on the list I suggest start gathering and upload your documents on OASIS.

Please, is it possible for one to be eligible for EE and yet not eligible for SINP? I am currently in the EE pool, now I am trying to apply on OASIS under the 'International Skilled Worker: Saskatchewan Express Entry' category. My total points is 57, and a minimum of 60 is required. Just want to be sure I am not leaving something out. Thank you.

katolistic:

Congrats!

SCHOOLDROPOUT:
Please, is there any specification for the passport photograph? What should it be like?

I think just coloured and white background.

You ehn!....You be school dropout, u get admission for all Finnish schools. If you no come be dropout nko, dem for give you admission for schs wey u no apply to sef. God dey watch you o . Hope say you don apply to HOAS.

All the best bro.

SCHOOLDROPOUT:
Thanks for the suggestion. I might end up with H city but still contemplating sha. Go still appreciate more inputs

First option should be Canada IF you can afford the fees.

IF Not, then Helsinki it is!

Migri will ask you to clarify the source of the deposits into your dad's account. So to avoid complications, you might wanna consider using your church member. But then be sure that the person will be willing to provide any document required. And just like boss Olabode89 stated, the sponsor's letter is very important and must be well detailed.

All the best sir!

shayhune:
I hope to get the €6,720 soon but I'm not working presently and I intend using my dad who is a salary worker and earns over 100k monthly as sponsor and depositing the money into the sponsor's account using his name before transferring it into my account. Please in what proportion can I deposit the money? Can I deposit it into his account with his name at once or should I just split it into smaller proportions, lets say 150,000 daily. I also want to know if the Migri peeps wud ask how the large deposits in my dad's account came about.
Also, I want to know how feasible it is for me to use one who is not a family member(e.g church pastor or member) as sponsor. Thanks

Dude04:
@iceberg54 boss I hail or abeg U fit hook me up with peeps for aalto can't seem to get any of dia contacts

Boss, E be like say u go dey sell admission letter later o.

Dfavouredone:
That is great. Congratulations.

No, I didn't withdraw it. I waited till a decision was made on it. Though they didn't overlook the date discrepancy.

I have reapply again. Can you share your application to approval timeline with the house.

We need to connect, are u in Nigeria currently or in UK? When do you plan to enter oz.

Remember, the 476 grant is not the final bus stop itself but a step towards PR.

Thanks bro.

Applied 27th January

Medicals 2nd February

Visa Granted 6th April

Didn't get any request for additional docs.

From my research, most Oz employers prefer citizens or PR holders. So, like you said, its not the final bus stop. Have you heard from your friends who got it. Maybe they can give us first hand info.

Looking at moving in Sept or later. No I'm not in the UK. Did some background check You should be one of Mayor's friends (Cranfield) so we probably met when I visited last year.

Will pm you.

Cheers bro!

dupyshoo:
All glory to God!!!! I just got PPR!!!!! I am so excited.

Congratulations!!!

Dfavouredone:
They don't always request additional document.

Once you visa is granted they will give some months within which you will expected to arrive oz. It is usually more than six months though.

Your 18 months visa grant start counting from the time you arrive oz.

Thanks boss......Got the subclass 476 grant.

Given till Feb 2017 to arrive oz. Did you eventually withdraw your application?

SCHOOLDROPOUT:
No wonder! I for fear na... AIICO na like 30k sehf.

Plus, abehg, shey I fit switch program if I use another one apply for visa?
And shey I gats pay student union fee and do registration before I go fit apply for residence permit cos I wan start ASAP. Cc: Olabode89, sirkezman, iceberg54 et al

You will pay when you arrive.

Cheers!

Still waiting to hear from them.
