Goodmorning.
I just stumbled through this forum.
I am interested going for an MSC in Data science in a low tuition Australian University.I was told I have to go through an agent(is this a must?).
Please I will be needing advice on how to go about the application process,also,how much i will be needing as my proof of funds,and what %of the tuition fees do I have to pay to get the visa?
I have over 10 years of marketing experience of which I spent 5 years working as a marketer in an ICT industry.
I am currently running a masters program in Unilag(we were supposed to have rounded up),the current ASUU strike as put things to a halt for now.
I would like to confirm if my chosen field of study can get me PR after my studies?
Nothing like low tuition university in Australia, an average Msc fee per semester in any university is close to 4m, with your years of experience have a look at the PR thread.

Good morning everyone.......Trust we’re all doing great this morning.........please I have a question.........can a student working in Europe sponsor his brother in Nigeria?.....I’m asking because of his student status in Europe.....I don’t know if that will be a stumbling block.....the Agent said it’s cool but I’m being cautious.

I believe it means it is a fully online/external course and I think you are not entitled to apply for visa since you are not studying on campus. I may be wrong, so you can wait for others to comment.

Hello everyone it's been a while, please my program of studies begins 26th October.

Is there hope of getting issued visa this year if i apply for visa? Has anyone applied lately?
Re: General Australian Student Visa Enquiries Part 3 by tpain22: 8:56am On Aug 22, 2020
My dear brother/Sister, I don't think there's any hope of flying to Australia this year. They claimed to be have started processing visas this August but as at now that hasn't happened. Even with the pilot program going down next month for Adelaide, that's just for Hon Kong, Singapore, Japan and China. So all indications point's to next year, I personally was hoping for October November but with the way things are going am not hopeful at all

Hello House, I have been offered admission in UTAS and cleared with all the paper work to make payment for fees. My course start date is Feb, 2021. I am just thinking aloud if borders will be opened at that time. If not, is it worth paying fees when you cannot start the program and just lock-up your funds with the school.
Please I need advice. Thank you

Good evening all, please I need someone to help clear a brothers doubt.

1. I studied Accounting here in Nigeria and also a Chartered accountant (ICAN). How easy can I find an Msc course that is easy to get and also help my journey to PR?

2. Can I bycout the IELts exam for now? Like is there any school that can accept without IELTS?

3. My sponsor, blood bro is in US, a medical doctor and the wife a nurse. They are willing to sponsor. Can someone in another country sponsor someone?

Please help with an answer if you can.

You will easily get an accounting course or in related field for Msc. However accounting is one of the most competitive skill for PR. They mostly only invite people with at least 90points.
Its advisable you do your IELTS now to boost your application.
Yes your sibling anywhere in the world can be your sponsor.

Good evening all, please I need your suggestions

1. I studied Electronics and Computer Engineering here in Nigeria but want to do a master's program in Data Science. Is Data Science a good program in Australia with high employment prospects in Australia with getting PR as the goal.

2. Can I get suggestions of level schools that are very good in Data Science with moderate fees, Currently I am applying to Deakin University?

3. Can I use my maternal Uncle as my sponsor who is not bearing the same surname as me or my mum? He is willing to sponsor. Can someone that is not bearing my surname or my mum's previous surname sponsor me?

Please help with an answer if you can.

IT related courses is the new gold.
If you can finish with a distinction honours and the present visa policies remains thesame, you can get your PR in about 3 - 10 weeks through the global talent visa stream.
There is a lot of prospect and opportunity for lT fields in AU & worldwide mainly (Data science, Artificial intelligence, Cybersecurity, modern networking & programming and the likes)
All schools offering the course in AU are good.
Any sibling or family member can sponsor you irrespective of their names, you just have to show the evidence of the relationship between you and sponsor.

Nothing is guaranteed yet as per opening of borders but i believe the borders will open by next year.
So yes, its worth paying fees now and lock your money in, get your COE and apply for your visa asap. Moreover, the naira situation will get very worse soon as the economy is witnessing a negative rate growth, so the longer you wait, the more you will end up paying.
Should the borders not be opened before feb, you can always defer resumption to next entry.
Worst case, you can always get you refund from school if plans change.

http://cricos.education.gov.au/Course/CourseSearch.aspx

The link will help you filter schools with respect to your course.
If you click on each school the search brings, you will see the course duration and estimated total fees of the course. If its a 2 years course, divide the fees by 4 to know your initial deposit. Bear in mind the fees there does not include the health insurance yet.
Get a school,
Gather your docs,
Apply for admission,
They will likely refer you to an agent,
Complete your application,
Get a conditional offer,
Fulfill the condition,
Get admission & COE,
Re-gather your documents,
Apply for visa,
Get visa.

The best way to get visa is to submit sufficient documents( especially home ties & proof of fund) and having an English test score.

Congratulations Softkey.

You appear to be a very patient person.

Until now I have never heard of a request to be reassessed. Can you share on that please.

Can you please tell me what Processing Office processed your second Grant.

Out of curiosity were you out of school from when you lodged a 2nd visa grant?

Many thanks

Softkey:
Visa Grant

The process !!! The wait !!!

Short Story
I applied for my student visa as a single in October 2018. The visa decision took so long that I had moved on from it and continue with my life in Nigeria. I got married and gbam - Student visa grant in April 2019

I arrived in Australia in July 2019.
September 2019 - Notified IMMI about my new marital status.

November 5, 2019 - Reapplied for my student Visa (with my wife inclusive this time). Wrote to immigration to assess me again based on the new information.

November 6, 2019 - Bridging VISA issued

January 6, 2020 - IMMI request for me to redo my medical (Done the same week)

May 7, 2020 - IMMI request for wife’s Polio Vaccination (Submitted the same day)

June 23, 2020 - IMMI request for extension of the Couple Insurance (Submitted the same day)

August 14, 2020 - Visa Grant (I and Wife)

Documents Submitted

Health Insurance (Couple)
Passport page (I and Wife)
Marriage certificate
GTE statement
COE
Marriage Certificate
Wife change of name (News paper publication)
Wedding Photos
Sponsor Bank statement (Brother)
Landed documents (Survey, Plan, Receipt, Agreement)
Joint Account (New)
Wife’s academic qualification
Wife’s Payslip
Chat History (WhatsApp and Text messages)
Relationship Statement
Wife’s medical
Social Media accounts (I and Wife)

All the while, I was very optimistic and finally God did it.
Re: General Australian Student Visa Enquiries Part 3 by Softkey(m): 10:36am On Sep 02, 2020
Yes, it was a daring and risky choice/method but was very prepared.

I applied onshore but was surprised all email correspondence from the CO was South Africa. All messages I got were from different COs. And a point I stopped putting CO name in prayer �.

Lastly, I was issued a bridging visa the following day I submitted my application. But the status stated inactive and the condition stated I can continue studying till the outcome of the new visa application is out.

By the way, I’m not a patient person but IMMI would surely humble anyone ���

Kai, this your questions make my head ache and remind me of 1 of my exam question (computer applications to chemical engineering question 1ai) back then in school, where we use your question 1 to 7 to model and simulate a system that will give us a cost effective result of your number 2 question.

Honestly, I don't have knowledge in undergraduate applications to Australia but what I know is, if you are sponsoring yourself for the undergraduate program without any form of scholarship, then you are among the top 20 wealthy Nigerian's in Nigeria.

Undergraduate program in Australia is capital intensive!



I can infer you a chemical engineer from your statement here, so also am I, I would like to begin this Australia journey and i need your guidance please can i mail you?
