@observant na God carry you come back here..thank you very much..please come and respond to me

i have been to australian study thread,the addmision processing and visa processing is not like this f**kin' lipsrsealed canada.But my difficulty is that i don't know where to start from. On like this Canada thread you would atleast see document listed and submitted for visa application and suggestions.
my question goes like this cos i feel i have made the mistake applying for a PGD in canada because i couldn't afford to wait for their biting long admission duration of MASTERS when i have a 2.1 of (3.59) that would have atleast fetch me MEng program or Msc program by luck in canada so i am considering a back up plan if CIC no gree stamp my passport.

1) i studied E/E engineering with 2.1(3.59) with my last 3yrs UG GPA of 3.90,4.09,4.00,3.77,3.90,3.89 will this comfortably fetch me Masters program in Australia/USA with anticipated specialization in POWER SYSTEM ENGINEERING or RENEWABLE ENERGY

2) how long does it take to get admission decision from Australian schools and since they now require proof of funds, how much is expected to be in my sponsor's acccount

3) please can you provide me with AUSTRALIAN immigration website lemme check their study permit procedures and requirements for students and which low tuition uni. could you advise me to apply if you know any?

lemme quickly also drop this information request on their thread to know if i will be opportune for a sophisticated answer

@standupguy..Its good u ordered the gcms. And from the gcms,CIC even keeps track of the number of refusals. Now I have a feeling that its thesame person that worked on ur previous refusals that the file goes to.

Dat 8yrs thing na the koko....was it like that in ur 2 previous app?That is a great error cos they might just think u won't be able to complete school and that's irrespective of whether u got admissions or not.

And again, was it really necessary to state that u will be living with ur sis?Many pple didn't show proof of accommodation neither did they pay for any and got TRV. Some info like this is not advised at all especially if ur funds are in order just like urs is...

I know u are already looking into Australia, bt should u wanna try again. Fix this!

Cheers!


I didn't specifically write anywhere that I live with my sister. Neither did I show prove of any acomodation.
They probably saw our addresses on the application form and the SOAs.
The same thing they did in my second application where they said I wanted to go and join my brother because he coincedentally moved to the town where the school in applied with was just because they saw his address.


While I take the blame for the 8yrs thing, it is still within the officially specified time to complete a B.Eng .
It has always been like that from my first application.
Yet purpose of visit and length of stay was never highlighted in my previous applications

Most times being all truthful in applications is not a good thing.

@Standupguy

This your case, ehn, i cant even place it.

There appears to be something CIC wants from you which you havent provided or have previously overlooked-You do seem to have Finance, and the choice of course appears to be in your favour.

The one problem i see is you being single, and of course your sister sponsorshi and housing - which in fairness, is usually a red flag even for American visa applications.

Like u rightly noted tho, the oversight wrt your date of completion of previous program also did not help matters.

My advice is; if you have ur previous gcms files, please look deeply into it and relate it to the documents you submitted or didnt submit - No application is perfect, and i dont want to believe they are unethically exploiting you or anyone-If your application convinces them, they will gladly issue you a TRV.

I believe you will get it, just dont give up.

My brother I done tire sha, i never give up on things but time isn't friendly sha.
No be force to marry na .....LOL haha George Clooney still dey single na.
My sister isn't married yet so I am not sure I see anything wrong in sharing an apartment while I save funds.
Her sponsorship was actually a formality because despite paying off my tuition I still had about 14,000CAD in my acc at the time of application.

My only problem was that nothing stopped CIC to highlighting these things in my previous application so they can be address altogether, people are refused with up to 7 reasons at once, but in my own case it was just one for each application how unfair is that?

What's your proposed Australian school of choice? Try Australia bro, you definitely won't regret it. Quality education and captivating atmosphere. You might wanna try ECU or Murdoch? Best of luck man and remember, giving up is a sin.


Brother it was between ECU and Swinburne.
But Tuition on MSc is quite scary.
So I have applied to Swinburne for there 2 yrs advanced diploma which is about 16,000 Aud per annum.

The ECU MSc is about 25,000 per annum plus I read that Perth is a bit expensive.

I don't want to stress myself looking for 25,000 for the second yr if I applied to ECU.

My brother, those ppl thinks they are God and they are not, I will not re-apply to beg them to gimme Visa when I am spending my money. Australian should not pretend they don't need the money. Currently, Australia realize almost 14billion dollars per annum from International Students, that is why the Minister is trying to introduce the new SSVF.

I told my friends and loved ones, that if they don't grant me Visa, I will not beg, I will live my life here and assist ppl on this thread they way I can, like I said b4, every1 must not goto or enter Australia, some ppl are destined to help others achieve their goals towards a success in their Visas. I think I am such person, I have been refused Visas to Study severally in some Countries, I decided to try Oz, same thing, and yet I have helped over 500ppl to travel as Students, so u guys should be surprise y mine don't work, my destiny is not in overseas. It's here in 9ja. I dun try reach, make I rest. Yet I always get Visas for Visits and Zero for studies.



I know exactly how this feels.
I have watched my brother and my two close friends given a study visa to Canada, one of my family friend whom I informed got the skill federal worker last yr.
A guy from nairaland email me to thank me on how he designed his sister application after mine. His sister was given last month.
Whole scenario makes you feel rejected.

Ok dear, I am still thinking about it, whether to continue my interest in oz or not. I can have my MD write to them and add the Company registration documents as well as add my own personal company docs where I and my wife are the shareholders, we usually do supplies of phamacitical Materials, I can also attach a bank statement showing transactions on the Company name. I get docs to backup, but it occurred to me whether if I really need Australia, we are doing well here in 9ja.

If not that I am thinking of the situation of the Country. Kinda confuse though. I will think whether I need their Visa or not, afterall am going there to spend several millions annually. It's sucks.



I share your frsutration it gets insulting by the day.
I was sponsored by my blood sibling who is an asistant bank manager who had already sponsered my older brother to canada and another who is a succesrul business owner whom I work with, I initially paid 7000 for my first semester tution but I was refused a Canadian visa for insufficient funds, in my confusion I reapplied again with more documents to prove finance but was refused the second time for insufficient funds and personal assets, then I released they wanted to see my own financial input.
So i applied with me bank accounts, fixed deopists and stock portfolio inclusive.
Unfortunately my school didn't have my program for Sept so i applied to another school for the same program then paid of my tuition of $27500. Only to be refused last month for purpose of visit and length of stay.
People are now telling me the cause was because the program was termed graduate certificate in the initial school i used for application but called fast track advanced diploma in the second school.
So the V.O considered advanced diploma lower than my b.eng. so my application was refused on the bases of academic progression.......imagine that?

Both program had Bsc as there admission requirement and considered a post graduate program on the schools website respectively.
At the moment bringing back my $27500 would see me loose 600,000 is FX.
It is quite insulting, the fund is there, the intention to study is there but people still get refused for flimsy excuses.
This is the first time I am reading about a refusal on this Australia thread. I am about applying to Australia and U.S at the same time so I sincerely hope I am not about to through my money away again.

Oga Eric I understand the quest to secure the future especially for the kids, me never get one sha.
I really don't know what to tell you obviously I am discomobulated myself but e go better.

NNBB2012:

If you were informed before now, perhaps you wouldn't have taken the study path. As you are, you are eligible for PR.You have two options. 1. You can assess your qualification as Mechanical Engineer with Engineers Australia without hope of claiming work experience because your experience does not match with your qualification. What it means is that you have to gain enough points of at least 50points on your own to be eligible for at least visa 489. What is your age? Do you have IELTS result?
2. You can approach ACS to be assess as a Computer System Engineer but a non ICT. What it means is that you will loose all the 4yrs experience. You can't claim points from work experience.
You can go with either of this options.
Going through study route is a longer process, and then all you would possibly get is extra 5points for studying in Australia except if you study in regional area that would fetch you extra 10points but then you might also loose point in age. So, think about it.


I am yet to apply to the school, just started talking to there agent, preparing to take IELTS. I am 30 yrs old.
I will look into what you just said

But note the technical skill I hope to acquire from the advanced diploma so important to me for future incase I decide to live any other place in the world

There is a lot yet to be understood about OZ work permit and PR process.

Please can someone knowledgeable analyze my qualification for better understanding .

I have a 5 yrs B.Eng, in mechanical/ production enginnering. Have worked 4yrs in I.T ( system admin, technical support , hardware and software integration).

Now planning to take a 2 yrs advanced diploma in engineering technology. At Victoria university. There website calls it a nationally recognized training.

How does my post work study and possibly PR stack up.
Just for analysis sack.

hi bro, yea i did made the inquire and I was told such... It's their policy for SVP, but the money ll be refunded if the visa is refused by immigration as that's the response i got from the school.

@standupguy, you contact them and clarify when u inquire, pls do and give feedback to the house.... grin

Thanks everyone, I wi ldefinitely inquiry before any comittment.

Another question which my little research hasn't been able to answer is, after an advanced diploma, how many years post graduate work permit can I get?

I know bsc and MSc and PhD lead to 18 to 4yrs.

Under Streamline Visa Processing, applicants are required to pay a deposit of $12,000.00 in order to secure their place. This $12,000.00 will come off the total tuition of $24,000.00 leaving a remaining $12,000.00 to be paid.

At SkillsTech it is their policy to charge a non-refundable deposit of $12,000.00 for Streamline Visa Processing Applications. If your Visa is refused by immigration, you are eligible for a refund.


I hope this helps?

Oh it's clear, I am very ok with that. I thought they meant it as non- refundable like a visa application fee.

I also looked at Victoria university melboure for the same program it's cost more there though and they referred me to pfl.

Thanks men, you have been wonderful

It's not unique to schools, but the whole schools under NSW, TAFE NSW are not processing SVP from Nigeria till further notice. same thing happened to me about two months ago, when i apllied and i was given the offer for a diploma not under SVP and i applied for Advanced diploma under SVP. So, we have to lot for schools elsewhere but not TAFE NSW.

Trying to understand this, how do i know schools under TAFE NSW?

Defnintely not just Nigerians do it. But u and I agree if there was going to be a statistics of the country with more defaulters Nigeria wouldn't be on the favourable side.

The better immigrants are even the ones that defer to a later date to eventually go to school. Some don't even go to school atall after getting into the country on a study visa.

Canada needs people YES! But they frown at insincerity and criminality.
If you want to go and study! Fine, apply for a study permit and make sure u go to school.
If you want to immigrate get into EE and immigrate.

Don't try to by pass the system by faking study intentions just to get into the country.


Of course miscreants make life harder on everybody, and when policies are formulated it affects everyone.
i have genuinely sort to study in Canada because i wanted a breach between theory and hands on practical in world class scenario.
and also the 4-months co-op + 3yrs PGWP which would be a boost to relevant work experience.
Even Oga Justwise told me that i had no funds to finance my education the first time i was refused, now i have shown how prepared i am CIC probably wants me to take Msc against my will.

I think I want to go into the same fight now.
A friend of Mine said if you have a low gpa as a Nigerian it's better if you do a wes evaluation of ur transcript and have it.
He said the wes evaluation could give you up to 3/4 on canadian scale.

I dnt knw how true but I will sure find out.


So you just send them a copy of the WES evaluation?
But most of them request that your transcript be sent directly to them.
I never really applied for MSc because I valued technical skills more than theories plus colleges take scanned copies of transcripts. I hate going back to my disorganized school to request for transcript.

I just took a work from the Canadian thread to here after 3 refusals for student TRV.
I have already started the Australia TAFE admission process in June before I realized that I needed IELTS so I requested for them to defer my admission for January to enable me write the exam.

But I got a mail from them saying all applications from Nigeria has been suspended so I am kind of confused where to start again.

If you are considering reapplication , then I suggest you get a masters admission.
