I have intrest in going for my Master but I am scared cus of ones future plan of going for a PR after graduation.

masco131:
You mean I can contact them to finalize my application and they will give me their verdict
How please?

masco131:
I don’t think this is applicable to Nigeria.
I have lodged my visa since first week in March and visa is yet to be out.
It’s even more than 51 days

Joan011:
Yea I have. Deakin university, Nursing and Midwifery

okolodaniel:
I understand all you have said. Usually, immigration read huge sum of money in an account as money lodgement.
Like I earlier said you may want to summit the 32m fixed deposit statement with a letter attached to it stating how and why the money got there.

If she has received some interest on the maturity of that FD in the past, it will be nice to attach it as well. Australia doesn't ready have one on one interview, your documents speak for you. Also make sure you certify that 32m FD before attaching it.



Thanks so much for this, I really appreciate. This is the second year of the FD so she has had interest payments on the maturity in the past.

Joan011:
Thank you for this. Don't be offended but I really can't say which of the classes I fall under.

okolodaniel:
Thanks a lot for the quick response.

My sister is married with one kid, and as for the account she sent me, there was very little activity on the account over the 3-month period which was what we used for the application. Is there any way I can attach the actual statement and fixed deposit slip in a pm to you so you have a look? I would really appreciate that.

And thanks, I will go ahead and attach the fixed deposit statement on Monday to the application along with the short note.

okolodaniel:
Hello house,

Wishing you all the best with your applications!

I submitted my student visa application on the 23rd of May and front-loaded my sponsor's SOA with a balance of about 13.37m naira, I have also paid the required deposit of 8150AUD to Deakin for the CoE with my full tuition for one year being 32600 AUD. When I did all of my calculations, the amount that is needed in my sponsor's account was just under 12m naira. However, I am worried if the 13.37m will be enough considering I saw a case on this thread of someone getting denied because of the funds for the subsequent year of studies.

My sponsor in question has her business fixed deposit account with about 32m naira. She is also the sole signatory to that account, I am now thinking that it is worth just attaching the fixed deposit slip and a letter showing she is the sole signatory to the account to the application on Monday. What do you guys think?

Thanks a lot for helping me with this, you know the usual paranoia during the wait lol it is getting to me!

Any hope for someone without publications

How long does it take to get a visa application decision ?

Respected Gurus in the house, I seek your opinion and advice on this little, yet complex issue. I recently completed an Msc Degree in public health in England and I was admitted for a doctoral research in Edith Cowan University, Perth Australia. I got my COE on Friday and I'm in the process of making my online visa lodgement. My question evolves around English language test exemptions as I read that student enrolled in a postgraduate research course are exempted from English language proficiency tests as stated on https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/student-500. Excerpts as follows: You do not need to provide evidence of an English test score with your visa application if one of the following applies: you are enrolled in a principal course of study that is a registered school course, a standalone English Language Intensive Course for Overseas Students (ELICOS), or a registered post-graduate research course. My question goes thus, can I proceed with the submission of my e-lodgement as I fall in the exemption category baring in mind that my Uni has indicated in my COE that I have satisfied their English language requirement or do I still need to write an English test prior to submission. Advice and comments are welcome

Emaxxy:
What I mean with my second question is, what if I didn't change my course from digital learning and able to secure a job after study, will I be given consideration for PR.

DiiVictory:
Please house, I want to know how much is the student visa application fees?
And is it paid for in USD or Aid?

Am pretty sure immigration will be glad to receive the fees in USD
As at today, the fees for a Subclass 500 visa is $575 (Approx. 364€)

You are indeed a rare gem sir, giving out your precious time to enlighten a stranger. May God bless your hustle sir.
Your explanation on personal interest is on point. As it is, am already in the middle of my application but sir, can I change from digital learning to early childhood education after getting to Australia without a hitch.

No worries bro. I have been shown favour in my times of need. Just passing it on too.

I am positive you can change your course except your school decides to stop such from happening which I doubt. The phone thing is to get into the country every other thing will come together.

Secondly, what if I didn't change and am able to secure a job during my two years post study stay, do I have any chance of being given a PR.
The should be the last phase of my questions. You've really helped me in gaining a better experience, can't thank you
enough.

If your course is still on SOL you should be alright. Like I earlier said, there are heaps of jobs for early childhood teachers. It's very lucrative. Godspeed.

Emaxxy:
Thanks for your priceless contribution. Well have tried considering early childhood education but there are quite a number of factors am considering such as:
1. Relevance outside Australia.
I think childhood educator or teacher assistant as the case may be is a lucrative profession in any first world country except you are looking at returning to Nigeria at the completion of your study. Even at that, private schools will happily welcome you with both arms.


2. Gender- I mean will it not be more fitting for females than males.
No gender inequality in workplaces here in Australia or other first world nations. Women/men have equal opportunities in all ramification of life. I have seen women electrician, concreter, dumb truck drivers, bus drivers, mechanics name it. Companies don't advertise for a job position with gender as a criteria.


3. Personal interest.
I am assuming your personal interest here means how much you like to become an early childhood education? Well there's a saying that goes "If you love your job, you never work"
Do do really need to out that into consideration otherwise it may end up as a negative experience for you. You also need to come to terms on what you want; are you after a PR or a course that you will enjoy studying. Sometimes getting both simultaneously can be difficult. If this doesn't explain your personal interest you may want to elucidate further

Thanks once again for your advice and will look forward to the recommendation of other gurus in the house.

Emaxxy:
Thanks sir for sharing this. I have my first degree in biology educational with an outstanding cgpa but want to further in the area of master of education in digital learning with the prospect of getting a PR. However, master of education in digital learning is not on Sol but there are other edu related courses such as early childhood education and secondary education on the list. My question is, can the fact that master of education in digital learning is applicable across all levels of education give me an edge/opportunity in getting a PR after study. Mr WestAfrican and others please your suggestions, recommendation and contribution will be highly appreciated.

LadyHeaven:

babalolawale:
Please is the “sponsorship from a relative” requirement cast in iron? Can it be someone else - your boss; your pastor ? Under what conditions can this be acceptable?

ifechez:
Good evening bro. Please, I am interested in your Japan connect on auto parts. Kindly link me up

venus33:
thank you so much
i sticked with arts and wrote a story around my job and i was given admission.
please i have gotten to the stage of GTE questions,please help answer how to go about it.

*is your spouse travelling with you on your student visa or does your spouse intend to travel with you in future* should i pick yes?
Do you have a wife and will she be traveling with you?
Have it in mind that your responses to the questions here in will affect your SOA.


*will you be applyimg for single or couple oshc* is it advisable to pick single or couple?
Oshc is simply health insurance either for you or and your wife.
Again depends if your wife will be traveling with you.


*are you or your spouse planning to undertake any work to support you* should i pick yes or no?
They know more than 95% of visa dependents even those on scholarship work to support their spouse so no point telling lies.


*will you use any money earn in australia to pay your course* please yes or no.
Again refer to your SOA.

*please house help me answer and also i used my uncle as sponsor,will it fly?
Your uncle can sponsor you but again you need to ask yourself how much does he have in his account? How is the flow of money? and how many dependents does he have?


God bless and this is urgent

Emaxxy:
Greetings everyone, please I have a question. Can I get an Australian PR if I study master of education in digital learning? Your responses are highly appreciated.

Imadeosarodion:
My father is my sponsor and he owns the business though I am member of the board of trustees though, we haven’t paid any tax yet, and what pay slip are you talking about because I am not being paid

olami101:
Hello gurus in the house,thank you for making life better and beautiful everyday.
Am a police officer here in Nigeria, but I intends to go for a short course in Australia in my area of specialisation, i need first hand information from people who are already in Australia to answer some of my question, the question now is :
Which schools can offer me admission for a short time course on security ?
http://cricos.education.gov.au/course/CourseSearch.aspx
Search your course of interest and contact them as well.

What are the expenses I should be looking into ?
Duration of study, tuition fees will directly or indirectly affect your expenses.
If your question means list of expenses? Here are some of them:
Air ticket
Accommodation
Tuition fees
Food
Transportation, depends if you wish to drive or catch the bus/train


What are the required documents needed ?
Completed Australian student visa application form (157A)
Paid visa application fee – currently AU$560 (~US$430) in most cases
Copy of passport biodata page (some students may be asked to physically provide their passport)
Certificate of Enrolment or Letter of Offer
Evidence of sufficient funds
Evidence of health insurance cover
English proficiency test results
Criminal record check results
Four recent passport-sized photographs
Recommendation lettes
Statement of purpose.

What's are my chances of getting the Visa
Submit the right documents, submit on time. Do not provide bogus documents. Pray to your God.

I have travel experience but will it be a criteria, pls I need urgent and sincere answer from experience people here,thank you.
Travel history does somehow give an edge but again if you have an irregular travel history that can implicate you. What I mean is if you are a full time employee and travel regularly not for work purpose that can raise an eye brow.

Imadeosarodion:
Please guys I need your help, I submitted our business registration certificate as proof to back up my SOA but the agent is saying that is not enough proof for source of income, please advise me on what to do because the business hasn’t started paying tax yet. It was registered last year August
