JewelStone:


Could you please share why you are leaving Sydney? I am really interested.

I have the option of going to either Western Sydney Uni or a top Uni in Paris for my Msc. I have admissions in both schools and the program in Paris is less expensive.

My heart is leaning towards Paris cos its closer to home, in a better and central location and its my favourite city in the world. But I'm worried about the current situation in the EU, plus the prospect of getting a job after studies as well as integrating.

Australia holds better prospects for integrating, at least on paper, but the distance is a whole lot and I'm seriously wondering if their degrees are worth the heavy price tags. Cost of living in Sydney is also significantly higher. I cringe when I see the price of rentals there.

Please all the experienced gurus in the house, I need your informed advice. If you were in my shoes, would you choose France or Australia?

Frankly Sydney is Okay as per job wise and all but i am not enjoying it socially plus there is a racial undertone

GodsClan:

Am in western Sydney uni. To be frank Sydney is a nice place and a great city. It is a pretty expensive city dou, but its a good city all together. There are jobs toooo

Jbond:
If you are looking for a country where you can easily get a job, stay back after your MSc and also for permanent residence ish, Australia is the bomb, but it you want to come back to Nigeria after your MSc, and you're not keen on staying back or getting a job or permanent residence ish, then Paris should be your choice.

Bro, I'm kinda stocked here with this WSU ish. They gave me Conditional Offer, demanding for my sponsor's SOA and my proof of employment. I applied for MBA though.

Pls did they ask you any of such...
@JewelStone, your input is also needed...

JewelStone:
TempusQ, WSU demanded for proof of employment from both my previous and current employers, and I sent it to them. They didn't ask for SOA though. Are you using an agent

GodsClan:

Did u go through an agent?

TempusQ:



Yes I am (PFL). And they removed the conditions after providing them? And did you use agent too?

The school seems strict and I kinda like it. Although, I hope it doesn't affect my visa grant.
I also like Paramatta City Campus, and it's cheaper than my other two options in Melbourne & Perth.

Hi. Pls can you explain further on this method. Thanks

malkinburg:

There is nothing new or beneficial about using an active dorm account to transfer. You would not have access to foreign exchange at friendly rates. Do your best to use form A. That's the only way u can officially get good rates

GodsClan:

I used Pfl too. Don't worry, it won't affected ur visa. See u soon

Hello fellow nairalanders,

Please i need your advice.. I Applied for 572 visa on 18th Feb 2016, I emailed embassy on 3rd march to find out if my application has been received. They replied on 4th March that my application has been received and still understand standard processing time of 3 month.

My IELTS result will be over 2 years after March, another thing is that the school i applied commences on 24th April.. And yet to hear from the embassy, please is it wise to write them an email? I have already uploaded my medicals.. Since last month too..

Awaiting your advice..
