Travel / Re: Which Do I Chose Between Canadian And Australian PR by Naijaaussie(m): 4:06am On Jul 26, 2018
Sounds like a good plan.

All the best.

Holla if you ever find yourself in the Newcastle/Hunter/Central Coast Regions of NSW some day in future.

Chikicaka:


Turns out that a lot of people are also in such dilemma, i found an overseas community on Reddit that we share settlement/relocation ideas so i decided i would spilit between both countries for a year then decide on which suits my projected future plan, i intend to settle and forge a career in the country i decide on and it wouldn't have been wise to decide based on others opinions.

Hi, Chikicaka,

Just wondering, which of the countries did you decide on? Kindly share your experience so that others facing the same dilemma can learn. Cheers!




Chikicaka:
Hello guys, I am new here but in dire need of advice from diverse opinions, January 1st 2017 I made a firm resolve to try and leave this country and though it started as a joke but slowly but surely I got PR for both Canada and Australia, I wasn't able to save a dime all through last year and my savings is at an all time low because I wanted this and luckily for me I got them, I studied Civil Engineering in my undergraduate days but I am into freelance programming now, I am confused on which to go for because I didn't plan to get PR for Canada but because the process looked do-able i just decided to take the shot and go for it and it also clicked.

I am 26, not married and wasn't able to get a job with the PR's, so would like advice on which country would be easier to start over, get a minimal job pending when I am able to get my big break, save, survive and grow from there taking into account my educational and current work background, weather and distance, minimum wage, Racism factor, Economy, job availability, better Nigerian network and other factors I didn't mention.

Please guys would really love inputs...


PS-My bro says ppl would want to know how I did it, t'was simple I used the Express and Skilled migration routes respectively. And I am still in shock because never in my dreams did I ever consider I would get not one but two...#truetalk

Nice...Sounds like you had a lovely experience in Sydney. Funny how visitors enjoy their holiday destinations than the residents. Can’t wat to go on vacay!

How come you didn’t find vegetables? Ah ahn! Most of the regular stores have Choysum, Spinach, Bukchoy, Pakchoy, Lettuce etc...and they can be used (and do the work) for éfó rirò and éfó élégusi too. Abi you were looking for Ugwu. Next time you can bring your dried ugwu/bitter leaf.

To the food, i didnt see "Ata rodo" yoruba red pepper in teh stores i went - ALDI, Coles and woolwoths (theses are the grocery stores around) unlike in the US butthey have different types of tomatoes, that one even confused me and they have big 'tatashe' pepper. (Non-yoruba, pls google the english translation, sorry). Didnt find vegetable too. The food is another story but thank God i am back home, "i cant come and kill myself" lol.

Yeah you can carry two suitcases plus your carry-on on the train but it will be very stressful. You will need to get a train from the airport to central station, and another train from the central station to Newcastle. Although it’s relatively cheaper than other modes, the stress no be here! You don’t need such after the long flight.

The best bet is to use one of those airport shuttle services that run from Sydney airport to Newcastle. It will drop you at you exact destination and very comfortable. It was around AUD70 three years ago, so it should still be less than AUD100. You can google ‘HappyCabby’ (that’s if they still operate) or search for other related options.




Solitin40:

I enjoyed your experience...abeg help with these questions

What was the rate at the airport 1 US$ to ?

Will it be easy to carry two suitcases(30kg) plus one carry on the train(Sydney Airport to Newcastle)

Good day my good people of nairaland. Please I need advice and guideline. Here it goes >>> I did my waec in 2008. And since then I have not been able to further. Have been into business and I'm married with a kid. Now I want to further my education ,have tried Canada but I was told by agents that it's not going to be possible due to my age(28) and academic gap. Now I want to switch to Australia(tafe precisely) , I want to know if I will be rejected like Canada did. And the possibility of bringing my family along with me. Am waiting for you guys honest reply. Thanks

Hi Galileeteo,

Your age shouldn't pose a problem. However, 2008-2017 is about 9years gap....that's a long one. While securing a visa may be difficult, it is not impossible. All you have to do is to prepare a well written, solid Statement of Purpose with concrete & verifiable evidences to support your claims. On the Canada trial, did you apply and was denied or you backed out based on what the agent advised?

Yes, you are allowed to bring your family along on your Student visa. You can either apply at the same time or they can apply as 'subsequent entrants' after you have been granted your visa and settled in Australia. Whichever case, you need to include them in your application.

Cheers!

@WestAfrican. You don't need to argue with her @Jewelstone. She doesn't seem to know much, she is new in Australia and thinks she knows it all with her little Youth work/disability/student nurse experience. She needs to learn more and move all around Australia. Workers in Western Australia & ACT earn way better than those in NSW.

As a doctorate student, I get about $28k per annum as living stipends and I also work as a casual academic at the rate of $120 per hour. Most times I work as little as 25hrs per week and still make $2,067 (after tax) weekly.

I have other friends with jobs such as: physiotherapist, occupational therapist (not management level) that make about $5,000 forthrightly after tax. Other friends that are surveyors, technicians etc (with just diploma certificates) get more than the aforementioned rates.

@JewelStone, please do not mislead people on here. You are not well informed. I think you should restrict your responses to study visa issues!

If you are on scholarship whether government, private or any kind of scholarship, no post study work visa for you after concluding your studies, na home straight unless you run your PR parole before your visa expires.


Wrong information. If you are not allowed to apply for post study visa, it will be stated as a condition on your visa. Not all scholarships require you to go back after your studies. In most cases, it's usually the scholarships sponsored by the Australian government. For instance, if you are on the University's scholarship, you are allowed to apply for post study visa when you complete your studies. I know because I'm on the Uni's scholarship & have friends that were on same scholarship, finished & no on post study visa.

HonNellymike12:
Good day to you all, I will advice everyone waiting for visa approval, that after this week if no visa, you should then differ and request your school to give you an updated coe which you will send to DIBP so as to update them. Your school must have cancelled your Coe automatically, DIBp is waiting for further instructions via your school. So don't give yourself HBP oo. It's better you just act now before DIBP put your case for oneside. Just an advice and I have just differed mine till November intake, just waiting for my updated coe by tomorrow latest and I will send it to DIBP asap. Remember we are not the only country waiting for visa, so d earlier you accept the differing the better for you. Thnks

For Masters, it depends on where you intend to study. If you study in WA, tuition is free for your children as long as you (either of the parent) remain enrolled It is free for all PhD students in all states.

Career / Re: This Is How Much Most Graduates Earn In Nigeria As Starting Salary - Stutern by Naijaaussie(m): 2:40am On May 07, 2017
That's even small compared to what obtains here. A security guard earns as much as USD800 per week depending on what time of the day he/she works. The good think about countries like this is that while waiting to get your dream job, there is ALWAYS something to do that will conveniently take care of your needs as long as you are hardworking & can cut your coat accordingly.

People are really going through a lot in Nigeria. You work your arse off & your take-home cannot even take you home. There is no definite working hours. You find people working from 7:30am till 9pm and still earn as low as 100k at the end of the month.

For those that complain about the bills abroad, I do not think it's that bad. Simply coat your coats according to your size & develop your skills to fit into the requirements of your host community/country & you'll be fine.

Politics / Re: MKO Abiola With Shehu Sani In Kaduna (1993 Throwback Photo) by Naijaaussie(m): 10:12pm On Apr 21, 2017
Incoherent

AirFireEarthH20:
Sen. Shehu Sani together with Late Chief Gani Fawehinmi and other pro-democracy activists were arrested, beaten, jailed and some killed for fighting for the masses and restoration of democracy. But today, if Shehu Sani has any small issue with Hell rufai who was unknown and nowhere to found during the struggle, Yorubas will abuse Sani and hail Hell rufai who doesn't even like them. Hell rufai even abused Tinubu recently but they kept quiet.

I'm very sure if Chief Gani Fawehimi was alive and kicked against buhari because of his nepotism, bigotry and incompetence, Yorubas would have abuse him, call him a wailer and corrupt.

May God bless Ayo Fayose.

May God continue to bless Chief Gani Fawehimi in heaven

If they Lagos State govt is going to pay this woman for these paintings, then whoever gave her the contract must be a hopeless, stinking, useless bast.ard. You have thousands of talented Nigerian students in Yabatech, unilag, laspotech and so on who will obviously do a good job and be very proud of it. These are the same bas.tard govt officials chanting buy naija to grow naija.

I was surprised when I saw a white guy under the bridge this afternoon but didn't want to believe they were responsible for the paintings. All our politicians are bunch of animals. Paintings wey agbero go use shit and pee destroy.

Romance / Re: 'If Guys Knew How Many Times Girls Wore The Same Bra Without Washing It' - by Naijaaussie(m): 5:37pm On Apr 06, 2017
You have a lot to learn from @megareal.

I think you should wash/change your bra more often than you currently do. Of course, you've got sweat glands over there, what about the residue from your body lotion/cream or the dead skin cells? It's difficult to 'smell' your own 'smell'. Think about primary school girls without 'ripe boobs' that put on 'singlets'; do they use one all week? I doubt it & those singlets serve the same purpose as bras. I remember my sisters back in primary school used to change their singlets daily.

Some girls can be freaks when it comes to being neat. I never paid much attention to my towels till I learnt from a housemate years back. Then, she used a towel per day and had more than a dozen. Then I relalized people care about the outerwear than the inner ones.

Bet most girls & guys don't change their towels daily. After having a good wash, you end up drying your body with a 'not so clean' two weeks-used towel.

Benita27:
So you wash your bra after your second outing?. I wear bra more than twice and it doesn't smell as you're putting it.
