just another option...you can land and use your 476 visa for the period you have...and also pursue the Canadian PR in that time. key difference between Canadian and Aussie PR is that Canada requires you to show proof of funds in your account, while Australia does not...not sure if you're aware of this option, but I thought I'd raise it just in case...in the end, its a risk that you have to think long and hard about... I actually came to this country on a 476 as well, but I ended up switching careers (which I am loving, but that may not be an option for you)... I can say it's been worth it so far, but be prepared for the possibility of some lean periods and maybe having to get lower skilled jobs. this is largely because the $&^visa is really not that popular with employers. Goodluck with everything sha...hope whatever you choose favours you. gcey2k: 2 Likes |

Hi peeps, Please how can I go about renting an apartment in Melbourne before landing? I have actually noted about two apartments advertised on realestate.com.au that I'm interested in but the fact that I have to do inspection makes it difficult to even tie any down. Please who can offer his/her advise on this? Thanks in advance. 1 Like |

Hi all. I want to apply for Australia student visa . I don't have the intention of continuing my education when I get there due to the cost. --Do I need to pay the complete fees before departure? --If I get there without reporting to school, will I run out of status(will I be declared an illegal immigrant?) Lastly, how can I get PR when I get there without reporting to school? Please pals, I need your opinions and advice. 1 Like |

Tadell: If you get a student visa, by all means go to school. The consequence of not going is that you will end up at MMIA on a free flight. With what will you get the PR? Lastly, don't act smart as you will eventually be outsmarted. 15 Likes |

majiouk2002:I'd say it is imperative that you inspect the house before renting especially if it's on a long term. Don't believe all those pictures and agent/house descriptions on realestate.com.au. Most are misleading. Only for here person go dey advertise house on a creek as a waterfront home. Get airbnb for a short period and inspect the houses of your choice. My 2 shilling coins. 2 Likes |

Hello, For old and new migrants, I discovered this cool online service that allows you transfer foreign funds to your local Naija account. It is way cheaper than cashremit, worldremit, transfast, cashfast, and co. I am sharing the link because I am excited at the service and speed of delivery, and more so because I get some reward for those I refer....you also gain by transferring your first 500 dollars for free. This people exchange 1 pound to naira @498 so imagine what others currencies rate will be like. Is there any other online service that beats that?! They have all the major currencies worldwide too! https://transferwise.com/a/ijeomai3 3 Likes

First, you need to notify DIBP of your change of circumstances by updating them using Form *** (can't recall the exact form number). They'll then respond with what you need to do; including how to make payment if any. You should contact @iceberg for more info coz he updated his circumstances as well. Cheers. mamajaz: 1 Like |

Hi Bellong, Which option will be suitable for a 41 yrs with 10yrs working experience in (ICT) Application development? NSW is giving 60 pts. is there a category of 476 for me? bellong: |
Re: Living In Australia/life As An Australian Immigrant by gcey2k(m): 8:44am On Mar 22, 2018 |
tonyik: Sir, it will be better to direct your question here. https://www.nairaland.com/3053069/general-guide-australian-permanent-resident And as regards the 476, Sorry to say you are not eligible. And for others who might want to ask, the 476 Visa is an 18 months temporary work visa in all of Australia. To be eligible you MUST: 1. Be an ENGINEERING graduate NOT MORE than 2 years ago from a reputable FOREIGN university. No Nigerian University is eligible. In fact only one Tanzanian University is eligible in all of Africa. 2. Be under 31 years of age. Other requirements are English Language proficiency tests, character (police) and medical certifications. 3 Likes |

Re: Living In Australia/life As An Australian Immigrant by skibby(m): 9:06pm On Mar 22, 2018 |
I think the information that only one Tanzanian university is eligible in Africa is wrong. South African universities are eligible for 476 visa because they belong to Washington, Dublin and Sydney accord. I know this because I have friends who have gone to Australia based on 476 visa and are graduates of South African universities. gcey2k: |
