I just want to advice all of you coming into OZ. Though its not good to generalize but never you loan money to Kenyan pips. They never pay back.
Imagine helping a kenyan that was almost sent back cos couldn't pay fees. I paid the said fees with agreement Now to pay me back na wahala. Just trying to help an African pip. All of dem kenyans have now gang up against me.
If na 9ja now Bleep up. They will over blow it up.
Never trust a Kenyan. They are scam. Be warned

The prices are really cheap. Has anyone successfully used skyscanner before?

MACDONALDuzoma:
Pls, are you in Adelaide now, how is the place

liliberth:
This for postgraduate research sector. Most of us who are going for postgraduate don’t fall into this sector.
We fall into the school sector which is 40 daysor more.

PurpleG:

It’s good to see that the trend is still on, I have heaps to write and address and pls bear with us all cos this Aussie life ain’t easy, busy schedule here and there.... quick one, for all the visa grants congrats and to the hopefuls keep your phone close and pray like never before.

Currently the standard for visa grant is high as Australia made changes to immigration rules, that doesn’t stop the grants coming in, my advice make use of all the information in this trend and don’t get tired of asking questions from ones with experience
If your application has passed the stated processing time and your start date is close, you have every right to mail or call and ask for the status of your application and reminding them that your start date is close, it doesn’t show any desperation on your part Buh if it’s not beyond the processing time just leave em, bear in mind they know about your start dates and would always process the pile of applications based on start dates, Read someone saying Adelaide is a forest or sumfin, pls for goodness sake we are in the age of google, why not get busy and read about the city, I’m in Adelaide and it’s a beautiful city, people get jobs and heaps of students are here surviving, if it’s not then how are we making it?! For those coming, pls be advised that your cannot start work in Australia until you have started your program, even if you arrive 3months before, doing so is a bridge on your visa and to avoid stories that touch, buh it’s good to arrive few weeks to your start date so you can settle your accomodation, learn the routes, know how to catch the buses, train or trams etc and prepare your mind to attend heaps of job interviews and Finally hold enough cash to last you like 3months before you start working to enable you pay rent and transport, also carry enough local food stuffs ooo!.
One more thing watch Border Security Australia on YouTube to familiarise with how to package food stuffs your bringing into Australia cos those customs are strict and if you don’t declare the stuffs you can get a serious fine!.

Hello guys in this house.....Thank Goodness I found this page before forging ahead with my application....I am just so confused on what or where to start from .....I recently got a refusal from CIC recently and I wouldn't want to repeat the same mistake again....I sincerely hope I can get valuable advice from you guys

You sure can

First, I got an offer from UNSW to study Petroleum engineering February 2018 intake...although my background is mechanical engineering with close to 6 years working experience in the oil and gas sector in nigeria, at worst, I was expecting a diploma in petroleum engineering with a conditional offer of the masters program.... Was shocked to see that what I was actually offered was a postgraduate certificate program with no attached conditional offer....considering my experience with CIC, I am really confused if my application would fly with this offer....this has affected my initial tuition payment because to receive is very easy and sweet but to refund....very hard....

You may want to check this URL to see if you quality for a skilled visa http://deltaimmigration.com.au/Mechanical-Engineer/233512.htm

It's much better to come in as a skilled migrant than a student.

Hence, if you insist on coming in as a student you may want to furnish us more details on your program duration and your intentions after study hopefully we can advise further.


Also, I intend to apply for my visa by first week of January if everything goes well but information I am getting from agents is it will be very late by then and I would probably need to defer my admission but surprisingly, from what I have gathered from this group is that visa application takes 36 to 50 days.... I sincerely hope I get a clarification about this here because I may re consider my options if my application would extend to July....

It usually ideal to apply way in advance as it gives the immigration time to carry out their checks on you. Peraventure you get your visa within 3month or you may be adviced to defer for next intake.


Furthermore, I understand that Sydney is quite an expensive city coupled with the fact that UNSW is a very expensive school....but I know we have lots of Nigerians there and of course they are surviving legally....so I guess I will survive too....I just hope I am not wrong....

You are right, Sydney is expensive in terms of accommodation I suppose. But the benefits of living there are enermous. You may choose to move inner surbubs of Sydney, Wollongong or Central Coast were accommodation is cheaper but that will mean you have to commute to work and school daily. If you are single, you may want to consider living in a shared house


Finally, I have seen some people make reference to AL1 schools and UNSW as one of them. Though I know not what that means but I would like to know if it has any effect in Visa applications

AL = Assessment Level.
That is how the immigration access a genuine entrant base on country of origin and choice of course applied for.

For instance you have a degree and 6years of work experience and you decide to apply for a diploma course because of the cheap tuition fees, you would be assessed under level 3 even if your school is considered an AL1.
That will also mean you need to provide the immigration with sufficient documents to convince them you are a genuine entrant.

Thanks people for the good works.... God bless everyone here especially the big contributors here.....for those of us that are new here please ask questions but taking any leap....it's better to ask oh because you would most likely regret it if you don't.....I am speaking from experience oh. CIC don stain my beautiful passport with their yeye refusal and I cannot afford to get another ...lol...God bless everyone here
