aww, i hope you are entertained ,

Ok, i see there is negetivity here, if you want an argument, I aint the one. You dont pay for my food or my daily activities, I dont owe anyone anything, if you are bitter, keep it to yourself!

@promise2, yes you can apply from nigeria, it would have to go through south africa though as they dont have an embassy there. go to www.immi.gov.au for visa and www.seek.com.au for work. Jus keep applying, yes nigerians may have a bad reputation here but there are lots of employers as well.

@mbatuku1, yes there are bad things here, such as racism but depends where you stay and australia is more multicultural than ppl think. there are arabs, indians, south african, chinese, depends where you stay and who you associate youserlf with, as long as you obey the law, you would be fine.

@jennykadry , thats not called for.

@ojdollars , who is showing off? you call urself OJDOLLARS, didnt you get the memo dollars are cheaper than toilet paper, dont disrespect me man. Someone asked for something and im helping him out.

@GBASKY

You are welcome.

Visit WWW.immi.gov.au, as it has been a long time since we went through with the proccessing. If you have a degree it would be easier to get a job. Search www.seek.com.au for jobs. Jobs that are high in demand, Nurse, doctor, other health and medical fields, mining and social/community work. I am studying criminology at the moment and working as a youth worker, I believe it is one field that our country is lacking, all the doctors in nigeria, yet we have social issues, the problem is before we get to the hospital!

The asians have taken over engineering jobs (not being racist or anything), but if your qualifications are flash in any other industry of field, you shall have a great chance. The mentality that you need to be a doctor or engineer to have a great job doesnt exist here, even plumbers get as much as doctors if they are well qualified. it also helps knowing people that reside in Australia and can confirm that your application is legit.

@GBASKY

Sure, Id tell u this, its a nice place and worth being here but you shall be patient and willing to spend money. The visa proccess took a long time, the legit way to apply is thru d embasy in south africa. Came here under a working visa, through my father. Medicals, federal police checks, fingerprinting and all that. They also make sure that u have enough money in ur account b4 bein here or a permanent job while here. The long stay working visa's are 4yrs long and student visa's are as long as your course goes.

Now while here, id advise anyone to apply for permanent residency (PR), so you can come back to australia at anytime and after being in the country with PR, u are eligible to get citizenship, that allows u to travel around most countries without a visa and disrespect .

Depending on the employer, you may wait a very long time to get PR (we are still waiting), to go around this issue, find a lovely woman/man (nigerian or ur choice with an aus passport to marry).

hope i helped and feel free to ask any questions.

Australia is nice, in my opinion. Its no longer US or UK, AUS is the place, due to their relationship with china. Obey the law and you would be fine. Been here almost 5yrs now.

Hello

I live in Townsville, Queendsland, Australia. Its a nice place. Population of around 186 thousand. There are about 15 nigerian families here and im the only one in the early 20's lol. I would like to meet other nigerians from other parts of the country and looking forward to having a business relationship as well. At a stage in my life where it is do or die. Take it easy.
