. Its takes just 1day to confirm your payment if you send them your telex copy and 2 days to send your COE after you sent your passport bio data copy.
@Largo.. Its ok to apply now bearing in mind it takes 2 months to get a decision and I advice you apply before it gets to students peak.

Thanks but I'm actually asking Largo cos I'll be paying to ETI and also nursing. There's someone here chubi4show(if I'm correct), he is yet to get his CoE. That's why I need largo to tell me how long it took him since he gt his own from ETI which I intend also.
Thanks for ur answer though.

@largo, please I'm still waiting for ur answer please.

Plz do one have to write ielts b4 applying 4 admission or can 1 get admission without ielts then later provide it.

I don't know why people don't take my advice here, maybe i will stop giving it. ETI is my education provider too and i am applying with their COE. I have admission with Curtin university too but it can't be packaged since its advance diploma and PG.

sorry for the delay. I got my COE 3 days after I made payment, I guess it was so because I sent my acceptance letter via courier so it was after they got it. All this happened June, I was meant to go July but plans changed. @ lawland thanks for your concern, I'm trying to tidy up. Planning to apply monday or Tuesday.

Who packs luggage without seeing visa? Anyway, we have different plans. I have something to do before school starts.

@lawland. What are the documents needed to back up the invitation letter?

In that case, he can write a formal letter stating his address, he should remember to provide his phone number(s) and email address if he has any but he can still make a letter headed paper if he wants.

cotzywitzy: @lawland. What are the documents needed to back up the invitation letter?

If your relative is serious about inviting you, he should find out the procedure there or you can go to www.immi.gov.au and find out yourself..

Plshavmercyamen: Tanx bro. I appreciate. I applied for a TAFE course(community service work). Pls, how many days or week does it take to get a response 4rm them?

. It will come within two weeks because this is students peak.. Which TAFE did you apply to?

webstorespro: House, i will like to know if ACPET Austraian council for private education and training with CRICOS codes is advisable. Or do we have any one studying accredited private VET courses?
Lastly, are their discriminations of any sort between TAFE'sand private VET providers?

Inputs needed. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Also, i am due to write IELTS for Oct 26th, is my application still feasible for Jan/Feb intake.
Thanks.

Ferdie, Americanvisa, lawland, Jennykadry, I need your suggestion.

Just like Jenny said somewhere in this page and from the much I know... As far as your Education Provider has a CRICOS code.. It is approved and you are good to go.. I don't think the High commission Discriminate, their concern is the CRICOS code. I still second what Americanvisa said, why not deal with Govt schools? Private schools are easily closed down and refund might be a problem. As for the second question... It depends on how fast you sort out the admission and get the COE.. December to Feb are students peak and Visas take longer to process. If you log application by mid Nov.. You might have a chance but anything after will need God intervention. Good luck.

In addition to what Lawland said, try to get admission before writing ielts so that you can meet up with february entry, as soon as you make your ielts then send it to them with other conditions to met such as payment of your tuition deposit and health cover then it doesn't take much time for colleges to issue coe then you can lodge your visa before the end of november. Me personally dont like to do any thing with private institutions because they can easily be close down and during refund it is always difficult,this is just my personal view and experience

@lawland
Did you wait for embassy to contact you before you went for medicals? If yes how long did it take

@lawland and Americanvisa, your inputs are sooo appreciated. I'll apply before Mid november. Can I do medical as well now in preparation?
