Please, instead of spending that money on a master’s degree, consider using it to study French in Togo or the Republic of Benin and aim to land in Canada as a PR holder. Education in Canada is not cheap ..the french category draw is great chance to get PR
When I hear this Express entry, I feel bad for not applying earlier, I know the pool is tight rn but I have experience with social work as I did per time work with pay for about 3 years.
Got BSC in social work also. Not written IELTS yet or evaluated my certificate. if I calculate my score, can I meet up to 450/470 ? I'll be 30 in 3 years time
Not down to learning French at all
What's your suggestion?
Would my experience meet up to the score?

TravelRe: Living In Australia/life As An Australian Immigrant by Richdee1(m): 6:11pm On Feb 06, 2024
Nostradamu:
5-10 minutes read.

This post is a breakdown of my arrival story from Nigeria, my MOTHERLAND, to Adelaide, my new home in Australia.

Note:
1. Events here are from my POV.

2. I am a first-time traveler.

3. Remember to take this information as something other than a living document; events stated here could have changed or discarded when you read it.

4. Nonetheless, you can use these instructions to guide your next journey. I'll include as much information as needed to help anyone with a similar situation.

Documents I prepared from Lagos, Nigeria:

1. My international passport.

2. Visa grant, printed one document containing 4 pages. (I made 3 extra sets of photocopies, which wasn't required, as I found out later, but I just wanted to be safe than sorry.)

3. Yellow Fever Vaccination Card. The officials at the point of entry into Australia asked me for it.

4. My Covid vaccination card. The officers didn't request it either in Nigeria or Australia.
Airline ticket

5. Receipt for extra legroom on the plane (entirely optional).

6. Receipt for my lounge in Doha (entirely optional).

Departure experience from MMIA (New Terminal)

We were told that Qatar Airways had relocated to the new terminal at the airport. So, that was where I eventually boarded.

My flight was scheduled to depart at 21:10 hrs, but I arrived 5 hours earlier at the airport. Leaving the house was a personal decision as Qatar only required me to be there 3 hours earlier.

Only travelers were allowed at this new terminal, so my brother and mum were told to stay outside. But one of the officers changed her mind and later said Mumsy could follow me.

Customs
The first people I met were officers of the Nigerian customs who asked me a few questions. I politely responded to all their inquiries, and they let me go without much hassle.

Staff of Qatar Airways
Qatar Airlines officers were the next to screen me. They weighed my luggage and tagged it. Me wey get sense pass federal government, I'd already bought a portable luggage scale at home.

With the scale, I ensured everything I packed was 2-3kg less than the airline's requirement. And because I arrived early, I was the first in line when boarding was announced.

Then, I went through the airline check-in, where they inspected my passport and a print-out of my e-ticket. They also re-weighed my bags and didn't give me plenty wahala because I met the weight requirements.

I did not make the mistake of packing any local food with me on this trip because I can't speak grammar. This decision saved me lots of headaches in MMIA and at Adelaide airport.

Immigration experience and rules to follow
Before I got to the immigration desk, I filled out a piece of paper with several questions (can't remember the name of that document again).

When I got to their desk, the screening was quite thorough.
- My passport and visa grant were reviewed

- The piece of paper I filled was checked

- All my items (bags, jacket, phones, etc) were scanned with a machine

- Then, there was a metal detector (i.e., magnetometer) that I had to walk through with my shoes off.

Omo, it was thorough.

As per the extortion that most travelers had experienced and complained about, it was very subtle. Only one mama immigration officer jokingly asked me to "bless" her. But I tipped the others that screened me out of my volition.

Nobody per se compelled me to give them anything, not even the customs official. I almost didn't believe I was at MMIA because the atmosphere was very professional.

For a moment, I almost attributed that experience to the new sheriff in town - Keyamo. But that's a discussion for another day.

Quick Tip: MAKE SURE YOU KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED WHILE ALL OF THESE EVENTS/INSPECTIONS ARE GOING ON.

Final Check-in
After scaling all these hurdles, the last lap of my journey was the last check before I boarded the plane.

My people, i no go lie for you, IT WAS EVERY LETTER OF THE WORD: SURREAL.

Like, "na me dey comot for Naija so?"; "Abi dem go announce say the flight has been canceled." ; "what if one DSS officer just con meet me say they 'have questions'?"

Just crazy things were going through my coconut head, and I didn't know why.

Omo!!!

Anyways, I was saying.

There was a big area where all the travelers were waiting for the boarding call. At this point, I still had over 2 hours to play around that part of the airport wing.

So, I went to eat Indomie noodles in one of the restaurants at a price that would buy two cartons.

But it's all good.

When it was time to board, the announcement was made, and the staff of Qatar Airways commenced the final check of all our hand luggage.

Then, we were ushered to our various seats by beautiful and very polite air hostesses.

The journey from MMIA Lagos to Doha International Airport took over 8 hours. Omo, I watch films tire; especially when the turbulence started.

The only thing that consoled me during that tense period was that I didn't watch ANY movie about plane crashes, and I increased the volume of the movies so much it was only the vibration of the plane I felt.

Don't blame me; local man never traveled before, especially at 39K feet in the air.

Here are the answers to the set of questions below:

* Stopover experience? When did you land at the airport?

We landed in Dohar at night, I can't remember the time now. But my stopover was for 14 hours, 55 minutes. Luckily, my uncle had purchased a lounge for me to rest. The payment lasted only six hours, which I renewed for $75 because I had about $900 cash. That ensured that I had 12 hours of access and spent the remaining 2 hours locating my boarding gate.
ABEG, QATAR AIRPORT IS BEAUTIFUL.


* How did you carry all that cash with you?
I only had $900, which I didn't declare because it was not up to $10K.


* Can you open a bank account while still in Naija?

I tried, but I could not because the banks I tried had changed their policies.

* Which State/suburb did you settle in and why?

I settled in Adelaide for two reasons: 1. my uncle lives there, and it is a regional area where my visa permits me to stay.

* Driving in Australia? How long can you use your Naija driving license before you get Aussie license?

According to the Department of Driving in SA, till it expires or you become a citizen. https://www.mylicence.sa.gov.au/my-car-licence/international-drivers

* Where you live and why you like it or don't like it? Tips on choosing the right neighborhood, mortgage plans, proximity to work etc.

I have no idea about mortgages and the right neighborhood. Sorry! I am living with my uncle for the foreseeable future till I get my place.
However, my office is not far from where I live in Adelaide.

* How easy was it to settle in, with your kids? How did you go about finding the right schools for them? What is their school system like for toddlers (age 5 and below)?

I don't have children at the moment.

* Can a mother combine work and taking care of the kids?
I do not have any answer to this question at the moment.

* What culture shock have you experienced?

1. My boss addresses me as "mate". And during my final interview, he asked if I drink alcohol. Omo, I shook!!!

2. They obey traffic laws as if their lives depend on it.

3. It gets dark after 8 pm. I nearly had a panic attack the first time I experienced it.

4. The people are generally friendly, contrary to what I had read about from some posts on NL.

5. They don't joke with their road markings.

There are a few others I can't remember now.

* Tips on how to cloth and cope with the cold weather.

When I posted this message, I had just marked my 8th day in Adelaide, and it's been summer all through. I'm talking about 31-42 degree Celsius type of summer. E shock you ba? However, my uncle told me there's a type of underwear people wear mostly here during winter -"Long-john." He said people wear it before wearing everyday clothes, e.g., formal or official.

* Are there Nigerian food/restaurants etc? Are they very expensive?

Nah! None That I have heard about.

* Can one start a business (exportation, consultancy) in Australia?
Sorry, I cannot help with any valid answers in this regard.

* How much does your family survive on in a month?
My uncle still handles all my feeding and housing till I earn enough and move out. So, I really can only say a little in this area.


Stay tuned for more info as I experience them and pictures coming up.
Good day
