Joan011: Hello bro, I'm an HND holder I studied Mass communication, can I use my HND results to apply for Msc in Aussie? is it true that Aussie schools do not accept admission directly from the applicant unless they go through an agent? i anticipate your response bro. |
Re: Nigerian Students In Australia: Survival Tips!! by Joan011: 5:15pm On Sep 27, 2019 |
bayocanny: First, I ain't a Bro. Most schools in Australia would refer you to an agent of theirs but there are some schools that won't bother whether or not you use an agent. And as for using your results to get into Msc am not sure about that. You can ask that in the other Australian student thread 1 Like |

Is it possible to switch course to Sol course when I get there......please am so desperate for that PR after study. Please i need answers......thanks |

Otumbalamba: Switching courses can get very competitive here. Have you paid the fees yet? The best you can do is email them explaining that you wanna awitvh courses and ask them for directions/ how to go about that. My two cents Let the gurus in the house come to my aid on this one. 1 Like |

Re: Nigerian Students In Australia: Survival Tips!! by Otumbalamba: 12:06pm On Sep 30, 2019 |
But how possible is it to get a PR with a course not on there skilled occupation list. |

Joan011:Mrs/Miss Nigerian... Typical.. gets confrontational when someone makes an observation/statement of fact. First off Australia would be quite cold for someone coming from Nigeria in the winter. But me laughing at someone who complains about the cold in Australia would be normal (it's nothing personal). Also, Lots of places in Russia is not colder than where I leave in Canada, so also the revere is the case. Considering the northern most pick of Canada is literally on thesame latitude as the northern most pick in Russia. I guess you would also consider getting to know the level of knowledge of who you lay accusation to before you make them.. By the way all the best in your studies in Australia... Thank you. 3 Likes |

Deeman1: See me see success, please what accusations have I laid against you and besides nothing of what I said is confrontational. Biko I don't want to know if you're the president of Canada or whatever cos it doesn't affect me in anyway. Last time I checked Dudinka, Krasnoyarsk Krai in Russia is more colder than Canada, so where did you get your outdated knowledge from. Oh I just remembered you're a Nigerian, no wonder. ![]() ![]() So bros or oga, let me enjoy my wine in peace and think about my budget. Cheers |

A travel and tours company is requesting that my brother pay them 2m to get him a job in Australia. 500k initial deposit and 1.5m when the documents are ready. How genuine is this? chukzyfcbb: |
Re: Nigerian Students In Australia: Survival Tips!! by PeaceNexus(m): 7:50pm On Oct 27, 2019 |
Is there such thing as people getting jobs in Australia through agents? A travel and tours company requested that my brother pay them 2m to help in get a job there. An initial deposit of 500k is to be made. The remaining balance to be paid when the Visa is out. Loosing 500k could mean a lot and I want to verify their claims before letting go of the sum. Please kindly confirm if there is any genuine thing of this nature. Joan011: |

Re: Nigerian Students In Australia: Survival Tips!! by Joan011: 6:59am On Oct 29, 2019 |
PeaceNexus: Never pay anyone money to get you a job.... Common use your head... These are scammers. What kind of job do they want to get him? The Prime Minister of Australia position? Please don't pay anyone money for a job. |

Thank.you. Same thing I told him but he was shown some documents of people who have been booked for biometrics. So he was convinced that they company was legit..Since the debit is going to be on me, I needed to be sure because 2m isn't easy to come by in the Nigeria of today. chukzyfcbb: |

Joan011:It's time for me to drop my own gist too[color=#990000][/color] ![]() I used Egypt air because it was the cheapest and had the shortest layover, would have used Turkish but mehn that layover was out of it. The flight from Lagos to Cairo was the worst I can't lie. Old plane, the seat was not good atall, I didn't enjoy it atalllll but when I called their customer care I was told they use A330-300 on Thursdays and Saturdays ![]() The flight from Cairo to Bangkok was very good mehn from the plane to the meal to the inflight entertainment, everything was okay on the plane and it's definitely a new plane, it was neat. I had a nice time on this flight and slept well. It was my best leg. I had about 4 hours layover at Bangkok. Bangkok airport is big mehn ![]() I will drop the rest tomorrow, I'm tired 3 Likes |

Hey guys, am going to talk about a very important thing in the morning.... Housing/ rent A very unfortunate event happened to me very recently and I would like to share it with you all. though an waiting to resolve issues at the moment. When looking for a place to rent make sure you know the rules guiding the place and also your right as a tenant. Don't stay in a house for 2 weeks without your rental agreement by your side because it will come in handy when any situation arises. 1 Like |
