You have an engineering degree, why waste money paying school fees for your wife?

Studying MPH is a sheer waste of resources and time aside the knowledge that will be gained though. Well, I have given this advice to many people but they rejected it.

My advice is, collect the tuition deposit you have paid. Start your PR application.

Alternatively, let her go and you can start your PR application here. Once you get it, you can join her.

Life will be easier for you with PR than on student visa considering you are married with a child. It is better for single students compared to the married folks.

But also remember that the skilled list is reviewed every year. Mph might be there this year or years to come, you never can tell.

Hello house, am having issue with visa application payment. Pls what is the best and easiest way to pay? Thanks

Any update on visa

fluxyn:
Nice one everyone for the support we are giving to each other
As regarding getting PR, I want to confirm if it is dependent on the course you studied or the work you get. if as a biochemist you get a job as a chemist, does that mean you can apply since you work as a chemist or you cant because you studied biochemistry

Pls gurus in the house, help us shed more light to this. Thanks

Any Macquarie student in the house? Just received a mail early this morning for a "Pre-departure session"
It reads;
Congratulations on your acceptance to study at Macquarie University from July 2017. Anthony Bradley, Regional Director for Africa at Macquarie University, has the pleasure of inviting you to a pre-departure session to prepare you for your upcoming travel and study experience. Details are as follows:

WHEN:
Tuesday, 20 June 2017
3pm - 5pm

WHERE:
Oxbridge Tutorial College, 49 Sobo Arobiodu Street, GRA, Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria

Anybody applied to Macquarie recently because I applied over 2wks now and have not gotten final decision. The last mail i got from them last week was faculty decision pending, is this normal?

Abbey1987:
Please house is it possible for a student to transfer from one university to another and do transfer of credit in Australia?

Hello, how was the pte. pls i need info about the pte. Thanks

Loverquin:


Macquarie uni

Hope u were given 2500aud discount as an African applicant

Pls house, which is easier and friendly between IELTS and PTE english test, without considering the quickness of getting result from later?

foreverkind1:

No deakin do request for bank statement before, 9m I think. But I don't know about the English test

Yes minimum of 37000Aud as bank statement and in my own case English test was asked, still surprise

it seems some AL1 schools have changed policies. I was given condition admission offer in Deakin university to provide bank statement and english test before accepting my offer.

tobe4real:
my second semester fee will be put down,.the hustle will be for the 2nd year .

Ok great...

tobe4real:
flinders uni dear but my intake is for February as they don't take 2nd semester intake for the course,although I'm trying to get my visa asap..graduate entry nursing,flinders was the cheapest I could find for 14550 a semester 2018 tuition most others are over 16grand.

But as a student nurse it quite hard to combine work and studies. I stand to be corrected though.

BADNEAT:
do you have a car yet? I strongly advice you go run forklift training ASAP...search google for where you can do that,identify the closest to you and give them a call straight ...

Hello, from ur profile I learnt you are a mph student in macquarie university. Pls how many years offer of admission were you given and how easy is studying mph over there?

Steven7:
please I would like to confirm, can one go with his spouse... I have an offer with bond University and am thinking about going with my spouse... I would need and advice on this if I should go first and then she join me later or if it's possible to leave with her.... Waiting for ur response.

You can apply with spouse and your children now or apply for them later to join you. Apart from this, your spouse is even entitled to work for unlimited hours. This will even make couples buoyant financially because your wife will be supportive making it easy for you to save and pay your tuition fee if that is your intention.

NB: No contact from case officer of any sort. Application still under assesment

This implies they are receiving more pplicantions from Nigeria unlike before

Loverquin:


Please which is better wen it comes to job search, Sydney or Melbourne??

From my findings i think both are very ok but Syndney should have more jobs cos its the most populated city but cost of living is on the high side.

Stanleyelege:


Anyone coming into Melbourne this June should holla me.

Response to some questions raised.

I'm in Melbourne. Rmit .

Yes I didn't know how to drive before leaving Nigeria. The last assignment in Nigeria was to learn driving.

Driving here is not about obeying the traffic light. There are other things u must observe as a driver else u will be fined. Back in Nigeria we don't always belt up.


Public Transport system here is not all that good. Sometimes I get a job to resume at 5.45am and the train starts at 5.25am. How can I get to a far distance of 1hr 30mins under 20mins. Whoever has money for car should get one upon arrival.

Next question.

My certification includes
White card( construction
Fire safety cert
Food handling
First aid certificate
Other checks are police check, working with children check.

1.Whoever is coming here should come with enough energy not just money or eguisi.

2. U ve two options if u are a man. Locate an African church or locate any fat oyibo woman.
I ve both .


3. If u are a handsome man in Nigeria that use to like to rub powder. Just thruway that powder because u are not coming here to form fine boy or pink lips but to hustle because u must pay bills.

4. Be rest assured that u must triumph here. Australia is a land of victory and opportunities. Cast away ur fears

Hello bro, what is the average wages per hour for student working in Melbourne?

iykedpetes:
please wat course did u study here in Nigeria

Did u apply to macquarie or u intend to apply?

vikmeek:


Does Australian schools require GRE, IELT is Tofl ?

Australia schools require only IELTS, TOEFL and the likes but don't require GRE. Admission process is btw 1-4wks max unlike Canada that takes like 6months or more

dara2017:
Good evening every one

I reapplied for my Canadian student visa after ordering my gcms notes and got denied again.

Please i need your help and suggestions as per what i can do.

reasons stated:
purpose of visit
family ties in Canada and in country of residence
current employment situation
employment prospects in country of residence
personal assets and financial status
Based on academic history and study plan i am not satisfied that you a bonafide student.

I am applying for a MBA at TRU and have a 2.1 in marketing.I finished NYSC november last year and i took up photography to keep busy until my visa gets approved.I stated on my form that i was a freelance photgrapher and had not yet registered my business.I was also adviced to include an avidavit of compliance stating that i would not contravene the terms of my visa.I also included a letter stating reasons why my visa should be approved such as financial consideration,travel history and the rest.

For the personal asset and financial status i didn't include my own bank statement cause their was no much money in it.So i am guessing if i do that now it would solve that one.

Please i need advise on what to do i am considering getting a company to employ me and give a letter of employment.But i am thinking of how to go about it and not raise a red flag.Also trying to put together a strong LOE.

Awaiting your suggestions

Sorry for the delay bro. But u can give Australia a shot, their admission is faster and visa is straight forward and quite simpler

Haliru001:
He should really ask about that course and the location of the school, especially since he plans on hustling to pay his fees. He should have chosen a university in a big city lyk Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane. He should also put it at the back of his mind that it'd be very difficult for him to get permanent residency with public health. Whichever course he eventually chooses, he should try and make sure it's up to 2 years, so that he wouldn't have problem getting his 2 years post study visa.

Public health is broad, it very possible to get pr if u specialize in areas like environmental health, health promotions etc

siidee:
Hi,

I submitted my visa application on the 12th of May, I was informed by the agent I used that they might request for SOA from me though I havent received any of such request yet from DIBP, but I am gearing up for it. Anyway what I will like to know is the amount you had in your account when you submitted your SOA to DIBP, do you think 9million will be enough for SOA?

I also got admitted to Macquarie University

Hello bro, how long did it take macquarie to give u admission offer when u applied. And did u apply yourself or through agent?

Haliru001:
yeah. Dt is true. Some universities in Australia accept a 4 year degree from jus some selected universities in Nigeria. You can apply to Macquarie Univ. They have that same course and would most likely give u admission, as far as ur result is good. They also give students from Africa, a discount of 2500aud per semester

Thanks for the info. Does macquarie university requires Bank statement before given admission?

Howoheye:

No bro., I'm even yet to apply. What course/school(s) do U have in mind?
Majority of those who've gone through the process here suggested Nursing (Graduate Entry).

i have courses like mph, master of environmental health in mind and propably graduate entry into Bsc Nursing cos it's very very competitive. U can try schs lyk flinders university, deakin and macquarie.
