Hi MissyGSam,
God blessings will continually be the hallmark of your life and that of your family. You are sowing and you will surely reap bountifully speedily.
Please, I will be moving to Southern Cross University Lismore campus NSW in February, please, do know anyone there that can accommodate temporarily?

Cheers!

MissyGSam:
Hi My Fellow Australians

Happy New Year!

Is anyone relocating (or planning to relocate) to Sydney? My family and I are happy to host you for a few days till you find your accommodation and generally settle down. In fact, you will be welcomed with hot, spicy Jollof and cold orange juice, with the possibility of dodo, and of course all for free.

What is in it for us?
Nothing, or should I say the blessings of God.

So why are we doing this?
Well, let's just say, it is our own way of giving back and serving God this year. When we arrived a fellow Nigeria we barely knew took us in, accommodated us and feed us for FREE. So yes we are giving back.

Why Should You Trust Us:
Good question. Unfortunately, I don't have a convincing answer. As Nigerians, I know we know SCAM is real. But I am happy to answer questions to ease your fears.


Family Composition
We live toward Western Sydney
Family of 3
You get a room to yourself.

Let's all have a grant/visa-filled year.

PS: happy to answer all Syndey related questions. Being here for a while now.

Happy New Year Everyone! Please, can someone help me out urgently ...... Thank you

Hello ignis..... How are you? Firstly, English Proficiency requirements depends on your school. Was it a part of your admission requirements? Was English language proficiency stated in your eCoE as satisfying or NIL? If it's stated Nil, immi will definitely ask you to provide it but if it's not don't bother. I am talking from experience. If you had a full offer of admission without conditional on English Language proficiency exams, then I think you will only react if immi require English language test by writing your supervisor and graduate school for a new eCoE that will cover for your English Language proficiency. I wish you success.

ignis:
Hello, my distinguished experts in the house, I am really worried. I applied for Australian student VISA without and EnglishTest/ Proof of English proficiency. Please I would like to know if it is a major requirement that can affect the outcome.
Awaiting your swift response

PhD research is an independent research and in NZ universities u need a very good MSc. and a research experience. However, my advice for you is to also consider Australian universities I am expecting some admission letters from some schools there. You can apply for MRes i.e. Master by research with your CGPA and if you have at least One international journal you will be qualified for a full scholarship. I Wish you the best.

You don't need any English proficiency test if your language of instruction in your previous studies was English language. If you are going for Phd you need good cgpa mine was 4.15/5.00 in my MSc. in Nigeria. I applied for a phD in Science and research area is similar to what I did at my MSc. here in Nigeria. Please try and spend time to study the admission requirements it's unique to schools and department. The same cgpa that was accepted at UC was refused by Uni. Auckland and Massey University. I wish you the best.

I applied for a PhD directly. Firstly you need to check out the school web page and I know their requirements. For, university of Canterbury you need a supervisor first before you proceed for application because he/she must be part of the reviewer of your application process. What I did in mine was I checked for a supervisor that have the interest of research so I sent her a mail (email). It wasn't easy but check their recent publications and know what they have don't in terms of research innovation. Them suggest it and they might like it. So she/he might ask for your proposal which comprises of suggested title, Brief background, aim/objectives, material and methodology and reference.

I want to sincerely thank everyone in this forum. The information thus far have been very supportive. I currently received conditional offer for phd at UC. The conditional is based on evidence of scholarship or personal funding, although I clicked UC scholarship during my application. I am still trying to work with my supervisor on securing scholarship. Please I your advice.
