Good morning house, i studied chemistry education in my first degree, i have been looking for schools with Masters in education but the school fees is too high for me so I want to ought for post graduate diploma in Education, please i need advice on cheap school with pgd in Education. Thanks my people.

Answer the questions I asked earlier

Goodafternoon house, please my Sponsor's bank statement is it required during the school's admission application or only during visa application.

Both. Most schools ask for sponsors Statement of account. Is part of the GTE we are all talking about.
The school want to see that you have the fund for your program.

Obyknow:
Goodafternoon house, please my Sponsor's bank statement is it required during the school's admission application or only during visa application.

I just got Nee COE for May resumption and I have uploaded it. Hopefully they would get back soon. No news good news for us all awaiting grants o.

Albion05:
Your agent was right and I like the choice of word you use, "MIGHT" not that is impossible. With a well explained letter of sponsorship stating why he or she is sponsoring you, affidavit of sponsorship and documents to explain relationship between both of you.
Both I leave this between you and your agent.

Yes your cousin can sponsor you!..
Let him get the following:
-Employment letter
-ID
- Birth cert (NPC)
- Landed property
-Stocks if he has any
- Fixed deposit if he has any
-pays lip as you said
- Any assets he has to show his financial muscle.
-Sponsorship letter from your Cousin
- Statement of account----- while you wait for your COE, let your Cousin sure up his account. If you can get your inlaw to transfer fund to your cousin now, let your inlaw help you on that, then if you have fund as well pay it into your cousins account to sure up the account in preparation to use it to apply for visa.
Since both of you bear the same surname that's a plus for you.
That's my input!... Goodluck!..

Thanks for your time bro. Your inputs are always on point. My agent made mention of it not pulling through so I don't want to gamble with my chance. It won't be convenient for my inlaw to transfer funds to my cousin cos he's a business man. Do u reckon i can use my cousins payslip and sponsorship letter from him since his 300k salary meets the annual income option?

Solitin40:

Answer these questions
1. Why Diploma and not MSc or Bsc
2. How old are you
3. What’s your area of discipline
4. Do you want to use study route to get PR
5. Who is sponsoring you
6. How much do you(sponsor) have in Bank

-I decided to apply for post grad diploma because I think the sch fees will be cheaper
-28years
-I will apply for PR after my study
my uncle is sponsoring me ,he has about 15million in his account. please advice me

I have no problem with you using your Cousin pays lip and getting Sponsorship letter from him. That's ok.
300k times 12 months will give you 3.6 million per annum plus some of his allowances that will be stated in his employment letter.

Then, the inflow and outflow in your cousins account, hope is ok. Your Cousins closing balance is also very important as well. He need to show at least a good sum of money as his closing balance.

Submitting only payslip of 300k and letter of sponsorship from your COUSINE will not be complete without a good closing balance in his account.
Don't really want to mention the amount but you know what is obtainable interms of closing balance.

Please I would like to add a question to my post above. I got a 50% tuition scholarship to Uni of Melbourne. I'm just waiting to see if Sydney will offer anything like that or possibly more. The person who has agreed to pay my fees and my living costs is my auntie who is a permanent resident in Australia. Will this affect my chances of securing a visa?

Do y'all have the same last name?
Regardless, there should be an existing relationship between you and your sponsor , and you should be able to prove it. Also, your sponsor has to explain his/her reasons for sponsorship.
My take.....
Albion and Co.... Make una come o

@ joephemzyz, you are doing a good job. More greeze to your joint.
To add to what you said.
Am so happy for the moniker that he was able to get a Scholarship,wether half or full. It will help in offsetting some of the bills for him.

Your Auntie, is she from your maternal or paternal side?.. which ever side she may come from, yes she can sponsor you.
In her sponsorship letter, she has to refer you as her nephew, states categorically in strong terms that she will be financially responsible for your stay while you are in Australia. She has to state one or two reasons that made her or spore her into sponsoring you.
She can say that, your father was instrumental to her success today. That he contributed so much to her education and that if not for his support that she wouldn't achieve much or realized her dream of becoming.............a Chattered accountant for example!...and now she is returning the same Favour to you.

She has to also provide affidavit of sponsorship.
But in a case were she bears the same surname with you, she will just stand in as your elder sister or Auntie as far as the surname is the same.

Or
Open a domicillary account, let her transfer the dollars she wants to use in sponsoring you.
This proves a lot. In her letter of sponsorship she will say she has made available the funds you need and you have to provide the statement of account were this fund is lodge.

Or let her transfer the said fund to your parents, let them be your sponsor. This solves and entertains less question from the CO.

Make sure you have a new employment letter to tender as an evidence of what will bring you back to the country not necessarily saying you are coming back in all most each line of your sentence. Channel your energy on your abilities, what you have been doing in terms of education, work, reaseach and career progression.

Please....... get new employment letter from another organization, this will help you and also, if were you are working now wants to retain you. Let their write up of what they will offer when you are back be a juicy one....... you know why " because your Auntie who is your sponsor lives in OZ. Without a concrete evidence of you coming back, they will see it that you won't come back because you have some body already there who is a PR holder. Maximize this your scholarship well and I wish you all the best.
Your application will scale through!.... am sure of that!!!...@ KYLEXY61". Where you not able to secure scholarship in Canny or US?.. I know you had a very good grade. You know what....... Australia is a very good choice�

I am still waiting for a response from them. They normally start giving out admissions decisions from February onwards.

So I'm considering all 3 options (USA, Canada, Australia) whichever suits me best.

Please do Australian universities require SAT and TOEFL?

Ok, All the best!.....

Tadell:

No Sat... IMO
TOEFL is an English proficiency test, so it's required... Ielts or pte can also be used in its stead.

The Answers are in chronological order as the questions. As someone in the same boat with you and at an advanced stage of this process, I can lend a helping hand to some of your queries.
1. Congrats on your scholarship. You would need to do another IELTS because the school will hold you down at that point of collecting CoE (I was held down because of it). Enrol for the next available IELTS considering that it takes one month for the result to be ready. They look at your IELTS at the point of issuing CoE. You can put a call through to them as soon as you can to verify.

2. The requirements are tied to many things. Majority of them been the ability to establish strong ties back to your home country. Some questions might help. Are you married with or without kids? Your travel credibility seems okay, but like you mentioned, the fact that you are not presently gainfully employed might be a big issue except if you can supply a strong contingency mail explaining why your job has not been reinstated. However, if you also have landed properties, you can use that show GTE to complement for areas that are lacking.

3. Lols, this is the least of your problems right now. Some people dey even feed their entire village and do not let anxiety get its hold on you. Calm down bros. When you get to that bridge, you will cross it or betterstill, we would cross it together, if you do not mind.

4. Yes, you can get tutor jobs both insider and outside universty. I do not know if it has been mentioned here. If you can get a tutor job, you can earn as much as 40AUD per hour. In a nutshell, apart from care job, you can teach and earn like you do care job. This is coming from someone that did tutor job in the UK. Your flair can be put to good use to make money.

5. For number 5, I have no answer to that question at the moment, but we can find a way arround it. I would use one stone to kill two birds, I would want you to send me a PM. Our situation is 90% alike, but I have already submitted my visa application to resume in July by God's grace.

This is my one cent on this matter, the gurus in the house can pick out some loos statement in my answers and use a pressing iron to straighten them for this person. Forgive me already if you are a female. I have no Idea

When are you supposed to resume according to your offer letter.

theoophilic:
I have read more than half of the pages of this thread and I have learnt a lot already. However, I have some questions and I appreciate kind respond.

I have just been award scholarship for 1 year Master by Research + 3 Years PhD at Macquarie University.
1. Firstly, about English Language Proficiency. Will I still need to submit IELTS cert for Visa application? I am asking because, the IELTS I took in 2015 before going for my MSc in UK is valid for 2 year (till Dec 2017). It was still valid at the time I was applying to Macquarie but now, they may not be able to verify it online as its over 2 years.

2. Also, about GTE. How can proof my GTE further. My First Degree, MSc and this intended Research degree is Chemistry, and am fine by travel history – that is, I left UK immediately after my programme, 3 months before the end of my visa stay. However, I am not currently engaged in Nigeria. A job offer I had with a Federal University before going for my MSc has not been reinstated. Will that not dent my GTE? As in, will the fact that I have no job waiting for me here, not be seen that my condition doesn’t warrant coming back to?

3. Living in Sydney. For those leaning in Sydney already, please, is it possible to get accommodation as cheap as 100-150 AUD weekly close to the Uni? About what amount is the cheapest amount to live on in Sydney. The reason for this is that, I have financial responsibility to my siblings back here in Nigeria and I will have to send money home monthly from my monthly scholarship pay. I want to be sure that this will be feasible, while I still have some savings, if I end up not working to face studies, as I have to attain excellent performance to remain on the scholarship.

4. About work, I have seen many talk about care jobs and I will definitely consider the various advice… but is it possible to get anything close to teaching? Any level of education will be fine. That’s really what I have flair for.

5. Finally, is there no means of getting PR to Australia aside the listed skills? Chemistry isn’t there and I do not plan to change my study focus. Can’t one be considered for PR if for instance I got permanent lecturing job during or after the 4 years post study visa I ll get after my PhD?

Albion05:
Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen.
Greetings to you all.
I am new in the house.
I have also read questions, suggestions and answers been given by the house members.
Kudos to you all and I must commend all your efforts and resilience in helping others. May God almighty bless you all.

Please any Nurse in the house, friends to a nurse or anybody who knows about Nursing profession in Australia should help me out with informations.
Please............. Answer me!.

hi colleague, any suggestions for you so far?
we are in the same shoe

Pls how can those that apply through an agent know the status of his/her visa application personally without informing the agent . Tired of calling every time for visa update.

please gurus in the house, how's nurse training Australia programs?. I'm a registered nurse, how's possibility of getting visa with such program and PR after graduation? thanks

ham334488:

U can import the application, just go to the immi website, create immiaccount, enter transaction reference no, type of visa, Date of birth, passport no.
I will advise u to only be a SPECTATOR.
Importing ur application won't affect the agent from accessing ur profile.

@ Fobak203, you have said it all.
Let me re-enforce on some of the things you have said.
Congratulation @ theoophilic.
Yes, you need IELTS for your Visa application.
The IELTS result as we all know is valid for 2 years. So register for another one and sit for the exam, I know you will do well as usual.

-GTE is a holistic or comprehensive term in the real sense. All the documents you submitted as regards to your application is what will be looked at.

. Your Statement of purpose ( how well you structured it to be able to market your self very well to the case officer.
. ThankGod your first degree, MSC and phd is inline all through, so your purpose of visit will not be questioned by any case officer.
. Travel history: Your travel history is also a good one to reckon with, no violation of stay, thumbs up!...

- Talk to your institution and see if your job will be re-instated, if not, my dear find a new place and get employment letter from them. That will serve.

- Home tie: this balls down to things that can bring you back to your home country.
. Employment letter showing you are engage.
. If you are married, that's fine with kids, that's ok. Your wife, or wife and kids serve as a strong home tie.
. Investment in your home country, for example; landed properties, stocks/ Shares, fixed deposits, houses put up for rent, some persons go as far as tendering their car papers.

- Accomodation: I don't stay in Sydney but one thing I know for sure is that you will find an accommodation of $140, $ 150 and above depending on your taste and what you want in terms of proximity, facilities in the house, bond, and furnitures with other personal preferences. There is shared apartment, rooms and all that. Australians are nice people.
There are so many people ( new students, including the old ones) looking for whom to share houses with in other to cut down cost and save. So you will get. Trust me on that.
Yes, you can still send money to your siblings and family as well at the end of day, except you want to send to them all the money in Sydney....lol!.. you will be fine bro!..
You are on scholarship already, as times goes on, when you must have mastered and adapted very well to your environment, you will structure your daily activities to suit you.

One thing, I have to stay about your scholarship, is for you to go through it and know what is listed in it as your scholarship benefits.
- full tuition fees
- return air travel
- a one off establishement allowance on arrival ( some give $5,000.00).
- contribution to living expenses ( some give $1150 every 2 weeks).
- OSHC for the duration of the scholarship
- field work allowance ( for research)
Please, find out what your scholarship covers!..

You will definitely get a part time job, you will be doing. Do not mount unnecessary pressure and anxiety on your self. Your scholarship is a big plus to you.
When you get their, things might Favour you as you least expected, imagine or foresee.

First thing first, get in to the country first and there are so many ways to kill a bird.
I believe you will be fine bro!.. Goodluck!..
