ur tuition fee is strictly based on ur credit points...
but if u aim at P.R or further stay after studies, u need to undergo a course of at least 1.5years.
if u embark on ur 1year course, u will av to enroll in another program to continue ur stay or leave aussie after ur program..
the ball is in ur court..

jorgan:
Errrm, pls chill! According to my research, the length of your study doesn't directly affect your job opportunity or P.R. However studying a course of about 2 years only adds to you points.

Every international student after study in Australia is qualified for a post study visa of two years. Msc level = 2 years, Ph.d= 3 yrs

Hello people,

Well done to everyone who have kept this thread alive and furnished us with relevant information.

I wish to apply for the PR 189 route. I have written IELTS general twice now and didn't get my desired scores. In my first attempt I had R8.5 L7.5 W7.5 S7.5 and my second attempt R8 L7 W7 S6.5. It's quite painful because I need an 8 across all bands in order to ace 20 points under language ability .

I am 29 yrs old with a B-Eng in Mechanical Engineering and just 2 yrs work experience. I have decided to give PTE exam a try hoping I make 80 across all bands. Please I need help on all possible materials soft and hard copies I can lay my hands on so I can ace this exam once and for all. Where in PH is the best place I can sit for it and how much does it cost presently?

To my fellow Engineers who have gone about their assessment successfully with Engineers Australia, pls show a brother how to go about this the right way. I have downloaded the hand book and studied it to the best of my knowledge but I still find the whole process a bit challenging with my little work experience.

I need your guidance and professional advice. No tip is too small. Thanks in anticipation for your kind responses.

You can write PTE @ BCIE, William Jumbo House Aba Road (near Garrison ). You need to register online for it so you wouldn't have to pay more. Use Google to search for the PTE registration link

Cribking1:
Thank you for your response to my message. According to Vetassess, my qualification is positively assessed and in line with my chosen occupation(Forester), but I was given a negative outcome because the duties performed in my current work are not related to that of Forestry. Their decision is weird!

4lashyme:
Hello House, just got a possitive outcome from Vetassess for my nominated occupation. Please i want to know if it's compulsary to provide statement of account when applying to SA nomination for PR. My funds are low now but will rise sometime early next yr. should i wait till then before i appy with the state? Kindly advice. thank you.

Ifexsco:
My Bro na so we see am. It is possible through the permanent resident route but na long thing; documentation, processes, cost and above all the waiting and incessant request for additional documents! They LOVE to take their time and are very thorough to the smallest minutest of things! The PR advocates here, NNBB et al don tire self! All man na students route with PR in view. There has been just two PR grants here in the past six months......mine will be the next IJN!

braddddddd:
WHAT IF I WRITE THEM TO VERIFY IF MY APPLICATION REALLY GOT TO PRETORIA,WILL IT CAUSE ANYTHING BAD TO THE APPLICATION? MY DOCUMENTS ARE STILL WITH HIM, JUST NEED A WAY TO CONFIRM BEFORE POINTING FINGER AT HIM. PLS SUGGEST FOR ME HOUSE

Shodur:
Hi, please don't take opv at FW....took mine at the public health centre at MMIA toll gate for free. Just hold ur yellow card when u going to FW so that they can see that u took opv. When u take the opv at Public health, they will indicate it in ur yellow card along side ur yellow fever vaccine.

enyinna4:
Yes its needed, St Nicholas will also demand for it...go with your international passport as well and its photocopy.

pingu2k5:
It's not compulsory to do it at Fatayi Williams. I did mine at FW, but I was told I could do it somewhere else and have the certificate sent to them.

ewagbamio:
At last!
My efamily, kindly help me thank the Almighty God for my successful visa application
It's been a very tough and challenging journey but God saw us through. Lots of little mistakes here and there
I barely have time to sit still and carefully plot things the way I wanted but the great ladies and gents on this thread are from another planet, I thank you all specially.

FutureDon! expect me in Queensland. Your work on my SoP was not in vain you see? 2Posh, scratch that, 10000000Posh, you have been wonderful, Erictack203, Chi50, bellong, Ferdimako, bossladyMo, scrollmeout and so many others.

My Timeline
1. Medicals for me and wife: Mid October (I unwisely filled so many things on the wifey's form for HAP ID and she ended up doing so many tests! Not the best thing to do, please just say no to most of the questions -- I'm talking particularly to the health workers here. Yes, you don't plan to enter an hospital, you don't plan to deliver there, you don't plan to do anything, no? You just want to be on your own there )

2. 11th Nov Gathered all my Docs and Lodged at Teleperformance Abj after making an appointment online

3.. Application got to Pretoria on 13th Nov

4. Decision made on 27th Nov

5. I got the email on 30th Nov

I didn't include my statement of account. I'm self employed and I have a valid Tax Clearance Cert so it makes a lot of things easier.
your sop is very, very important.

Westerners, in my little interaction with them, are generally thorough and they don't just assume and over look stuff. So please take time out and repeatedly review your docs.

I did everything DIY via Australia thread on NL and the above is my story. IOM is next

erictack203:
Scrollmein,

Where are you, I have been trying to call you, your line has been off, pls try and get intorch.

erictack203:
Dear Trigger,

SVP applications are assessed by DIBP according to the following risk factors and if four or more risk factors from this list are applicable to the applicant, SVP is rejected.

Risk Factors Assessment

        1. IELTS < 5.5
        2. High Risk Province
        3. Change of Discipline
        4. Gap in Study
        5. Previous Weak Academic History
        6. Bringing Spouse/ Dependants
        7. Previous Qualification is higher than the current applied course
        8. Financial Documents - from the Applicant or Parents account/ Study or Bank Loan/ Direct Relatives only.

So, study the factors and address your case before you submit your Visa application.

Omonjoe:
I am looking towards going through the PR route since I am somehow qualified instead of studies route. Please I need someone to help me answer these;

1. Based on previous assessments here, does Engineers Australia always give positive assessment to B.Eng - Elect/Elect from Nigeria universities?
No one can answer this question with certainty. What matters the most is what is contained in your transcript and the quality of your Competency Development Report amongst others. Please visit EA website, download the MSA booklet and read.

2. Is one require by DIBP to submit a statement of account when applying for PR?

DIBP will not ask you for SOA but you are advised to have enough funds for yourself and those who may be travelling with you

NNBB2012:
Yes, you can scan and upload coloured copies.

ENGRJCJ:
thanks boss, pls whats their website. please bro whats my target in PTE

erictack203:
@Scrollmeout,

This is controversial, can you pls call me?

erictack203:
572 SVP takes 3-4weeks. You will hear from them soon, did you frontload Medicals? Also, what about Employment contacts? Hope they are intact? DIBP verifies Employment. Also, print your SOP, your CV, your Family Details and DOB. They may call you for interview.

They mostly call employers to verify.

Your grant will land soon. Many blessings.

But guys @atrapon,. the website says 572 svp is no longer available for Nigerians, they will be assessed on AL3 even if packaged for Adv Diploma. @Atrapon, pls was this also the case for you? If yes, it then means she will need 3 months bank statement like my friend Ericktack203 told me. I'm trying to help my sis get this visa confused

FutureDon:
