HI Futuredon,

I am considering going for my PhD in either Canada or Australia and to be fair Ireland too( however i heard funding is peanut).
My only worry with Australia is the distance and the wildlife stuff(spiders, snakes and kangaroo)

Why would you prefer to do a PhD in Australia over any country? how many years was your PhD for and what was it in?

Hello, sorry I was not keeping an eye on this thread. PhD funding in Australia is more generous and they won't overuse you as a PhD student. In the US (and Canada too), you would have to complete a Masters degree which include completing coursework as part of your PhD program. In Australia, you get to do full-time hardcore research, no coursework, no Masters degree, no bullsh**t. This was really appealing to me as I had already completed a MSc before commencing my PhD.

In my opinion, I also think that the quality of life as PhD student in Australia is better than that of US/Canada. You can still have a life and even do causal/PT jobs to make additional money. This is related to how US/Canadian Universities make their PhD students work really hard for the penny the University awarded to them. I interact with PhD students here in my lab in the US and I am really glad I did NOT complete my PhD here. Based on my familiarity with the academic environment in Canada and on my conversation with some PhD students over there, I do think that life as a PhD student in Canada is a lot better. You also have better chances at becoming a permanent resident post-PhD in Australia (Canada too) than the US. Those are the few ones I can think of right now. So my ranking would be Australia, Canada, and Ireland.

Haha, interestingly I did not see any of those weird animals/insects since I lived in a city, except Kangaroos though. They are cool, hehe. I finished my program in ~4years and it was in Neuroscience.

The border is closed. However, Australia citizens and permanent residents are allowed back into the country. It is however very difficult getting flights from Naija to Australia. Perhaps, that's why your friend has not left.

I have a concern.

I'm using an immigration agent to process my visa (489) since 2019. Since the visa was lodged in August 2019, the application hasn't been looked into and I think it's been a long time since then. Hence I demanded for the login to my immi account and was told I can't have it as he's using a general account for all his clients. So I ask, is this a thing? I thought those accounts are unique to each applicant. So what happens if I need to make an update on the account when I'm done using the agents services
Re: DIY Guide To Australian Permanent Resident Visa - Part 2 by ictmikky(m): 5:20pm On Aug 05, 2021
I think you should inform Home Affairs. 489 is no longer in use. You should have some proofs that he really lodged an application

Thanks. He finally sent a proof that the visa was actually lodged. 489 was in use the time the visa was lodged in August 2019. I think it was in November they replaced it with 491. However, they said they’ll attend to all pending 489 cases before scrapping it off entirely.

Hello, all.
My family composition is myself, wife and daughter.
In filling out my EOI, this section requires the number of family that will be coming along principal applicant.
My confusion is, do i add my partner in counting (making it two) or just an extra family member (in this case, my daughter).
I'll really appreciate a feedback from the gurus here.
Thanks.
