Kind of fall in thesame shoe as yours, same grade, same course and have CoE already, no schorlarship and the admission is easy. For msc you'll fall under svp meaning no need for statement of account buh if your uncle SOA weigh no problem if not that is still no problem as you are covered with svp. University of canberra gave me admission straight and good responses from other schools attempted but i was cool with UC the tuition is cheaper compare to other schools.
Best of God in your search

Here are the steps you need to access Skilled Migration as a Medical Laboratory Scientist:

uist:
Do i need IELTS? Do i need it when applying for visa? U already in Aussie.

troubled:
I tried applying to some universities under svp but I was told I have to use an agent since I am applying for svp. Please can anyone in the house tell me the school I can apply to under svp that I don't need to use an agent?. Please house help

badenugba:

@ UBKtech, I tot the qualifying points for skill select is 60 and not 50

UBKtech:

Yes, you need 60 points. But note that the points tested aspect of the skilled migration program includes 489, 190 & 189 visa subclasses. Now with 489 subclass you have to score 50points on your own and state or territory sponsorship will give you 10, while for 190, you need to score 55 and sponsorship will add the needed 5points. So, on your own you just need 50points to throw your hat into the ring. MLS is on the occupation list of ALL states and territory.

I have also amended my earlier post to avoid it being misconstrued

badenugba:
Will British Council give a study pack after registering for IETLS so that one can have materials to study with?
