Boss, am haviving similar ish. I lready have ann offer letter. he school requested to see financial statement b4 they can issue the CoE. My uncle (sponsor) has a different surname as mine. Can I use his bank statement? If yes, what documents do we need to attach to his statement as support / proof? Can Affidavit help?

Can I do dis for d embassy aswell?

OgagaIyk:
Please house gurus, I was issued an offer of admission by a collgege in Australia, to run a dual packaged course. The school request I submit a financial statement along side other docs including the invoice of payment before they issue me the CoE.
My question:

1. My sposor is my uncle from my maternal side, hence we do not use same surname. Can I present my uncle's bank statement?
What if he writes me a cover letter stating his commitment to sponsor me, and get a court affidavit to prove our relationship? Will the school and embassy accept that ?

@ WestAfrica et al

Have search and searched, am really getting frustrated. Please i need help if you know where the form hide direct me s i can fill the form

Thanks

Sirchino:
WestAfrican, thank you ooo, you are really helping us alot. Now to this; what do you think for me as a petroleum Engineer now coming to run a post graduate diploma in construction/project management one of the courses prsenyly on sol for one year as a more easier n cheaper means, then settlling in for my PR?

bligs:
Does someone on a student visa intending to process PR while studying needs a police clearance certificate?

Sirchino:
WestAfrican, thank you for your response. I would need clarification on coming for a professional course. Do you mean moving to Oz for the course before applying for assessment as an Engineer and then have some extra point to earn?

Also will it be possible to apply for a one year post graduate diploma in construction management and then then file for my assessment as Engineer while in Oz, to obtain a PR before the end of my Program? Which i think wld be a little cheaper and easier than masters for now. Then later i can go for my masters.

supremez74:
thank you so much @westAfrica ,
1. I'm applying for masters , my uncle is from my paternal side ,he has birth certificate ,but he doesn't have change of name, did his birth certificate at a court and its a different surname

Well you don't need a bank statement for a degree program. That doesn't mean your case officer doesn't have the right to request for one. Hence, your dad and uncle can be your sponsor. Your need sponsorship letters and maybe birth and change of name certificate to show your relationship with them. Try certifying all your documents.

2. I'm enquiring on his behalf ,the agents are charging outrageous amounts, he wants to do it himself and I'll be guiding him, we have all documents required for admission application, notarized O levels n English test and others, please guide me through a list of steps to follow

supremez74:
please I want to use my uncle and dad as my sponsors, they
dont share same surname? what documents would i use to
show their ties or relationship? or would i be granted visa just showing their both account statements,my uncle wants to send a huge amount to my dads, and im trying to avoid the money lodgement thing, someone should help me, as I already have admission at curtin.
2. also i have a cousin who wants to apply for TAFE, would you advice he goes through agents or do it himself? please those who applied for TAFE how did you go about it

Sirchino:
Good day everyone.Thanks to those who are contributing heartily on this thread. You guys will not lack help where you may also need it.

Cc: WestAfrican, Bellong et all. You all are kind.

Please, i have few doubts to resolve about migrating to OZ and i believe to get good answers on here. I am a Petroleum Engineering graduate, finished service in Nov 2012. I have not really worked in my area of training post graduation as a Petroleum Engineer, since i could not find any job. So i resulted to enterprising (Self employed). Seeking for contracts of all kind to execute and earn from it, though with no registered coy. so no tax clearance or whatever government document for my hustle.

Now, I want to move to OZ and possibly get my PR, most likely by vocational or masters course in construction project management as an area of interest and one of the top skills on the SOL to develop myself more in that focus with some kind of OZ training. And while at it in OZ, I would start my skilled migration application for assessment as a Petroleum Engineer before my vocational or masters program will end to get my PR and remain in OZ.

The second option for me is to file an application for assessment as a Petroleum Engineer here in Nigeria, though with no post graduate work history but with IT and final year project for the CDR as such and apply for PR, which seems to take longer to process. Also when granted a PR, it is most likely to also seek a vocation in construction/project management to suit in one of the skills on SOL, different from my Petroleum Engineering training.

So people please, i ask for your guide based on the available options of mine to move to OZ.

Thank you all for your anticipated input.

ChosenCanadian:
Here's the image: 'at the point of entering the details of the card before submitting to pay'.
I'm sure if you see this image, you will have a better understanding of what I want to use it for and then tell if it is possible or not with TRAVEL CARD

ChosenCanadian:
Please can you advise how I can make this payment to Australia. NOT 'FORM A' this time. The options they gave are 1) dollar card ie master or visa card and 2) PAYPAL. I neither have a domiciliary account nor a dollar card and I dont want to do black market because the rates are so high. I want to do it using bank's rate and its quite urgent. Although Ive spoken with a bank and they said what they can give me is a TRAVEL CARD to use. Is dollar card same as TRAVEL CARD? can TRAVEL CARD be used to pay for OSHC? I want to be very sure so I will not waste my money or get into trouble. This is urgent. A quick response will be highly appreciated. Thanks

kagari:

kagari:

oobidike:
Ok. Cool. Am in Goldcoast.

oobidike:
Thanks @westAfrican . Where in Aussie are you pls

oobidike:
hey all, please wanna ask when the embassy says you should proceed and do medicals, does it mean you are sure of the visa or are there cases of refusals after medical. cheers

Solitin40:
But note you can't apply with this route and get PR you know why?Because you need lot of documents to show that you guys are real partners like house rent,you must leave together, own properties with the same name (car) just Google Partner visa (subclasses 820 and 801 ) to know more and also it takes 2years

Gone are the days when Africa should apologise for having problems – what country doesn’t? There obviously needs to be a more balanced approach and a shift away from the “crime & poverty porn” so regularly dished out on global media. But at the same time Africans should have the confidence to own both the good and bad stories. Being a Proud African is someone who celebrates both the highs and the lows. It’s not so black and white. I want u to understand that A homecomer brings back not only a wealth of global expertise, but also a true sense of purpose and willingness to make a difference. Homecoming Revolution’s clients are showcasing careers across all sectors: financial services, engineering & construction, IT, management consulting, retail, travel & tourism, agriculture, law, media & marketing, education & healthcare.

So finding a job back home shouldn’t be the sole ambition of a homecomer.

Yet it’s not so easy simply to come home and open a business. Apart from the red tape, there is also a gap between the homecomer’s previous understanding of the local community and what it is today.Below is our strenght and weakness

NIGERIA
Strengths: Welcoming people, 60m people who need products & services, Huge opportunities for business, Vibrancy of the youth, Cash economy,
Weaknesses: Unnecessary complications, Traffic, Electricity, Things take a long time, Absence of social institutions, Narrow thinking
But i can't deny Nigeria Need a lot of work to be put in place but we are not that bad as u are thinking .
“It’s important to acknowledge the emotional reasons of why people left NIGERIA –I am a real Estate Manager And i am not only promoting my Job but also reaching out to Africans in Diaspora to Invest back home , Home is where You Belong ...Even If u Migrate we still need to make Africa Great Again and with u and me We can make it Great again .

There's no place like home!! Period!! Stay as long as u like in any foreign country,at the end of the day,the motherland keeps calling and requesting our presence!! We all need to start heeding the call and quit hiding behind the false security of "Being abroad"!! Most folks at home are making it and are not intimidated or threatened by their folks in the diaspora. The tables are turning,and the sooner we secure our place at home,the better. "Being abroad" is not the end all,be all!! Certain folks at home who've never ventured outside the country are thriving,surviving and well established.

ShoProperties:
“It appears u are quite comfortable in lands where other people’s ancestors have laboured to develop. We here will labour to also develop our land and before they know it, Nigeria will have no place for them.”
“Okay,people say negative things but there is surely a positive story. if all Nigerians do not work move this nation forward I am afraid it will remain this way and future generation will blame us just the same way we are blaming our fathers. If the people in whose country we all stay didn’t work hard to take their countries to greater height you won’t be there now! Nothing good comes easy. outsiders come to Nigeria to invest and they are making it,while the land owners are there in another man’s land struggling! Just have it in mind that a home you did not Arrange can never be yours.”

Mrbigman2:
Nope. Still in Nigeria.
