Hello,
Please I am finding it a bit tasking to have a list of Visa requirements for a 2 year study programme in Australia, besides the CoE. There seem not to be an exact lists on the Australian immigration website. Also if Ielts is not required by the school.

IS IT A MUST BY THE EMBASSY

Thanks a lot.

ogompaul:
Bro please how do I search for state nominated or territory nominated. I searched via anzscosearch... yet I don't understand how it works. someone should pls put me through.

cybug:

The states were listed there... But in my own case, all states were crossed with RED colour.

7 days in stralia and counting. For student touching down u have to first get ur tax file number if u need a job bad bad. I have applied for mine already on the first day. Buy Lycamobile (19 dolls prr month all calls and text to oz) if u no too dey call niaja. If ur the home sick type u should buy lebera as its 3cents to call Naija per minute. As for house please avoid agent because Na better wahala dem be. Look for landlord. They r more reasonable. Depending on where u stay motto na neccesity. If ur in Queensland Brisbane. for a guy focus on factory jab/general labourer. At least I don c like 5 Naija boys dey pay school fees. ( disclaimer "all na based according to wetin dem talk" survival on d hussle is possible.

Met a friendly Indian guy today. My friends neighbour. Drove his car to go grab a pizza. He works as a manager for aged care facility. He said age care is selling madly in Queensland. So as a part time job I cud earn 20 to 25 dolls per hour with regular shifts. Also met a a Gambian guy who just graduated from QUT. He does security part time and earns 30dolls/hr.

My prognosis so far so good> coming to oz is not a bad idea. With proper networking and hussle u go make am. In all things just make sure u are a good ambassador so that market no go spoil for impending new comers.

As a Nairaland ambassador to Australia Na only the truth and nothing but the truth I go yarn. Husssle fit pay. If u get wife or babe wey u wan marry package her come. Ur combined income can top 60k USD before tax per year depending where u get job. Yeah one more thing masters in gradschool isnt as diifficult or stressful as yankee or canada. Oz Na the way forward.

No, I have never bought any. someone gave me 10kg short grains 'sunrice' at first but when I complained about it, he gave me 5kg long grains homebrand (it wasn't as bad as the 'sunrice' but didn't turn out the way I expected for my fried rice recipe). Then, when I complained that the rice grown in Oz are not so good, he brought 5kg long grains sunrice. lol! I don't know what to do with all of them; but I intend buying basmati rice.

Sadly, you have just thrown him/her into a more confused state with your response. akinke, this issue has been discussed on previous pages. Please read up or scan through my posts to find the pages. Overall, there is no ''YES'' or ''NO'' response to your question as such requirement differs across institutions.

this food tatafo dey sweet me sha..

Basmati rice is a bit more expensive than the rest but it is well worth it for fried rice things(my opinion). Jasmine rice is gummy gummy. as noted, not ideal for fried rice unless you are gunning for fried rice balls . in my area, Indian shops stock more quality basmati brands than others but i reckon other asian shops will do just fine.

If per chance you are able to, do look around for these markets around you, you never can tell when you run into some positive sales will change your life.

FutureDon:


No worries bro.

Here is what they have on their website (assuming you "frontloaded" your medicals):

Student Assessment Level 2 15 working days
Student Assessment Level 3 3 months
Student Assessment Level X a.k.a SVP 10 working days

They usually contact applicants through email, so keep checking your email religiously while you enjoy some bottles of origin.
