Everything u need is on this thread and online. If u don't want to dig them out as nobody wants to do it for u...u either get an agent or forget it. U can't force pple to help u. Can u?

Hi,

So you should know, Schools try to frustrate efforts of self Oshc arrangements, ppl should avoid it, even if you will get it cheaper, try to patronise your School, insurance Company gives the University extra 700dollars for bringing a Students' Oshc, if you arrange yourself, they gets only the tuition deposit, remember they are out to make profit in their Business.

Discuss this with your School and have them correct the error, if not you and Pretoria go wear one trouser. Call your School and sort it out with them, they may have to send you a revised CoE.

bellong:
Bro, this is a childish rant. The fact that something is done somewhere does not mean it will be done in another place. The energy with which you typed this is more than enough to use Google search to resolve your question. Never noticed your initial question though, would have given you a generic response which is below.

Start from reading this site, you get all the info needed there... http://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Work/Skil

Femidako, you dey funny, it was still too early then to comment when i was not so sure then . I actually wanted Canada at first based on the fact that it was more popular for Nigerians and family ties. I had started Canada PR journey before Australia but as you may well know their process was very very slow spanning for years until they improved it this year this year. My plan was to move to Australia and stay till maybe three of four more years to determine if i really wanted to continue with the Canadian immigration. I had zeroed my mind that if i settled in Australia then the Canadian Dream ends forever. However, it looked like once i got the grant mail from Australia the Canadians began to process mine faster. I was shocked when i went for medicals for Canada and realized that their medical platform runs on Australia Emedical Platform. The point is i that they share data and Canada is always looking up to Australia to improve its immigration process.

Thanks so much Surveyor it has not been an easy one having Both PR come together at the same time.

I derive pleasure from helping people. It's just the way I am, the way I am programmed. I am not some sadistic psycopath who derives pleasure from online attention. I am of the opinion that no one should be left in Nigeria, if they have the chance to gain a better life abroad....especially people with kids. Looking at my kids, I know that even if something happens and we can't afford to pay for their education...they have a government and systems in place to enable them continue their education as much as they can. So if I can help anyone else in any way I can, why not? I don't answer questions to show off. I say what I know. I was once a novice also. I remember my very first post on this thread. But I took my time to research thoroughly...like I said, I was not willing to spend a huge chunk of money on a process I knew nothing about.

So for someone to come and say there is more to me 'online niceness'....hmmm.....

I will let it die there.

Thanks to everyone who came to my defence.

Lets start part 2 of this thread as part 1 has reached 400 pages and too long to read through.

See part 1 here for references https://www.nairaland.com/1032530/general-australian-visa-enquiries

Thank you.

dexterinc2003:
Well detailed explanation!

Seems your case looks familiar,it all depends on your plans,how early do you want to move as masters program in aus resumes twice a year (march/july),which school you want,what is your financial status,the rest should be a piece of cake.
Let me just list the steps,since im assuming you are a busy person.
1.register with an agent that can help you with admission (pfl,bcie etc),many ppl dont like the fact that they have to pay,but i think its worth it.a school under svp MUST be chosen.
2.once you get the admission,pay part of ur tuition fees to get a CoE.
3.once your CoE is out,do your medicals ,notarise your documents,get immunised ,pay for your health cover (for you and your wife)and go apply for the visa...573svp.
4 wait till visa is granted....book tickets and travel with your wife,depending on what you filled on your visa forms.
5.dont forget to use IOM for your travel ticket booking.
6.share your story on this forum


KEY
CoE =confirmation of enrollment
Svp =streamlined visa processing
IOM =International organisation for migration
PFL =preparation for life
BCIE =check google....lol

prechear:
No I didn't apply for any registration or license. External auditor is on the skilled occupation list jst as other professions. All u need is to get ur skilled assessed positively by an assessing body of ur choice.
