Stubborn guy , u no won hear word, bro on a serious note , Wollongong is too far and isolated from the city, rent there is not cheap, even Newcastle is better than Wollongong since there are lots of disabilty jobs there , if you still insist on Wollongong then prepare to wake up by 4am everyday if you want to work in the city , all the best

Pls what about gold coast?

Your school/Uni may waive your English proficiency test but it's unlikely the current immigration would.

IELTS or PTE will do the trick although PTE is much easier.
Academics is much harder than General Training as you will need Academics level when you are aspiring on becoming a teacher/lecturer etc.

The school i am applying to doesn't require Ielts, do you mean its still advisable to do it because of immigration?

Please if you have been denied visa in other countries like usa or Uk. Is it okay to say it while applying for admission in Australian schools. Will it affect chances of being admitted in the school?

I doubt... unless you want to sleep cell till Monday

vikmeek:


Many thanks bro.

Wondering if the police station at algbon opens on saturdays so that I can go do it today.

Most of them are scared to give you admission cos the embassy charges them for refused applications or it affects their ratings...(something of sort sha, not sure).... so most schools always want to be on the safe side... so people have resorted to hiding that information from the school just to get admission... however DO NOT make that mistake with the embassy... they'll surely find out...

Above all.. my advice:
Be honest with the school and pray they give you admission then everything gets better from there...if you try two or three schools and they deny you admission, then you know what to do

Yes my waec can lead to bsc of nursing

No Uni will give you Bsc of nursing with Waec without doing one year compulsory foundation course.

It is recommended you do it just incase. If your school happen to waive it for you then that is fine, just support it with a letter from your university stating English as the medium of instruction.

OK.. .but with my bsc in philosophy can I still get admitted into nursing?

pitman10:

Your best shot is graduate entry of nursing with a strong SOP stating why you are changing career path as well as strong home ties while applying for visa not sure if Bsc nursing will fly if you tender your philosophy degree.

Boss do you have answer to why schools ask for previous visa refusal history?

Okay thanks

Okay lately, most schools started screening students credentials by asking for SOA and GTE Statement from students before giving them admission which wasnt the case some years back... I asked my agent for the reason for this and was told the embassy now urges unis to do a pre screening before giving admission to students , i 'guess' this was due to the increase in applications received at the DIBP with majority of them not meeting up with either the Financial or GTE requirements... so the DIBP wanted to be curb that and ensure most of the applications they are screening have passed through like a Pre assessment from the Universities before giving students admission to save them from having so many applications and denying most of them due to their not meeting the required criteria... Now this led to the stance of dropping the schools rating or sanctioning them if they have lots of students apply for VISA from that school and most of them dont meet up with the criteria, i think this has something to do with the L1, L2, L3 thing we see around... so most schools have buckled up with their admissions and rather give 5 students admission and be almost certain the whole 5 would get VISA grants rather than giving 15 students admission and just 5 pass the DIBP screening...

In all, neither myself or my agent work in the DIBP and all these informations could be just hear-says... so I'll advice people to either do their own findings or even just follow the normal protocols... nobody is an Island of knowledge, we can only share what we understand, its left for us to know what to do with the information...

Cheers!

That is all its because there is no evidence to back it up, schools verifying students is not new anymore as they want to make sure that they are admitting genuine students

Nice one...

Amen to that!!

Well, i paid for my PTE through my agent and they got my study material (Textbook and practice CD) sent to me... I read the whole book and did the practice tests on the CD...
I practiced for 3weeks (tho lazy practice till the last week where I had to buckle up)... in all sha, I did intense practice for just 5days. Went for the exam and thank God, the rest is history..

The exam is in sections... Speaking, Reading, Listening and Writing...

In all, if you prepare well for it with their study materials, you'll scale through..

So to answer your question, it was a self study...

Hope i did small justice to your question..

PS: I already gave out my study material to a friend who wants to write the exam too... You can google PTE Test centers in Lagos or wherever you are to know where you can register for the exam... the study materials come with the fee you pay for the exam...

Cheers!

Thanks chief. Insightful!

Sent you a buzz.

Dont receive buzz.. dont know why... however its even better to say it here so we can all learn... Cheers bro!

I just need your help, God will surely reward you for it, thank you

Please am confused..

My agent made application for me to university of Tasmania last week Monday and this last Friday, the school wrote me..asking for SOP, evidence of employment and evidence of finance.

Kindly note that I submitted some of these documents initially except evidence of finance. I discussed with a friend who also applied to this school, he said he wasn't asked to provide these documents.. Tho he hasn't been admitted.

Please hope is normal. They give discount to all international students. I was thinking the finance documents should be provided after the admission and the discount is given.

68days no grant no corresponding

Submit what is asked of you... when it gets to your friends turn, they'll ask... There is no reason why the school would ask for those documents if not for consideration of admission... I was asked the same too when i applied to CQU...

Abeg, no call them ooo....Dependent visa takes too much time now not only for Nigerian applicants. Check other Australian visa forums you will confirm this. Calling them might do more harm than good

We don't have a choice but to wait till we hear from them.

@jiyde, how the waiting game for that end cos for here d thing dey suck my blood. This one way processing time don change. If them ask you for new COE just know say ur visa don arrive.

Also, did you agree to the new terms and conditions that popped up on IMMI account?

If it is dependent Visa, abeg flex well... lol... it takes time.... thought it was study like us...

Hello house.
I was wondering if a Cambridge A level certificate can be used to apply for nursing in Australia.

Dont know what's going on with Pretoria's VO. Maybe they are doing these on purpose. Just terrible to wait for months to get visa.
Well, it will end in praise
