Hi everyone, with the upcoming vaccination campaign in Australia and recent AstraZeneca data showing significant protection from COVID-19, please join the international students' petition to be given a travel restriction exemption.. I've personally deferred to July but the chances of entering aussie is pretty bleak at the moment. Sign the petition people, let's give it a shot and see what happens.

@Bukason2020... I'm not sure but if you've applied for your visa having obtained your COE, you can start your classes when it begins and then request for a break after first semester. I personally tried to avoid all these dilemma and deferred till July. That July too sef... can't spend millions and then study from home but then we don't really have much of a choice.

Priceless25:
@Bukason2020.. IMO, because of the current border situation, I think Visa extensions are feasible. Can't speak authoritatively on this as I'm also a prospect.

Longjonjoe:

Hello everyone,
I have read on this thread that studying in regional areas can boost your chance of PR.
I studied accounting in my bsc and i saw some courses like Master of Business Administration and Master of Public Health (3 years professional experience- Torrens University

Flinders University-Master of Business Administration and Master Health Administration (2years)

Uni of Tasmania-Master of Information Technology and Systems-
James cook uni- Master of Information Technology- Master of Business Administration (MIT- MBA) 2years

All these courses have health or IT which i read is in high demand
My question is after studying any of these I hope my bsc in accounting will not be an issue when applying for PR since accountants are not needed?

Please help me respond so I know what to do
@edkai @solitin @aussiejoan @joan00 @bellong @tunlex and other people who have been contributing their knowledge

Damn!

IELTS is not compulsory for a study visa application and also important to note, it's not also compulsory for Pr visa application and assessment, in as much as the applicant for the Pr visa/assessment studied for at least 2yrs and graduated from an Australian uni.

IELTS is only needed to boost Pr score for onshore applicants.

So please don't raise people stress level up base on no or expired IELTS for their study visa application!

Personally, I'll advise anyone that is yet to apply for admission to channel their strength towards other countries cause had it been I know, I used the bulk of my time and resources on Australia study visa to the USA study visa by reading and writing TOEFL, Sats and GRE, things would have turned out well(full/partial scholarship) and I won't have to spend my money on Australia tution fees but I applied to Australia because of the straightforward path way to earn my Pr and become a citizen.

Now, all offshore Intl students are stocked in a loop due to the uncertainties and indecisiveness of the OZ government.

The painful part is the Time value of money, my money Is stocked and I am becoming poorer cause I would have earn at least 80% interest/profit/dividends of that money last year with the explosive growth of btc and some other stocks.

Presently, what's more painful is, I can't take calculated risk with my money that's not with Australia sch because no one knows how soon the boarder will be open.

Mehn, the situation is messed up! After requesting for deferment, my annoying school sent me a new offer letter with lncrement in my full tution fee without consideration of the time value of my money.

As in how will an entity or sch hold my money for more than 6 months without yielding any form of interest/equity/profit/dividends and only for them to come up with tuition fee increment with a flimsy reason backing up that increment.

Omo, the frustration is real but, All is well!! and I wish I read Law cause I would have served that uni and Australia government a subpoena and we meet in court.

bligs:

That statement is misleading, you won't even get admitted in to some programs without test of English e.g Nursing and also most assessing bodies if not all require test of English for positive assessment. Studying for 2years in Australia doesn't automatically guarantee you a PR but rather give extra points for PR processing and 2 or more years of post study work visa depending on where you school, you will surely need a good test of English to boost your point for PR.

Ikjosh04:


I don't know about nursing cause it's not my field and I have not looked into it but what I said apply to both EA and ACS according to their assessment booklet downloaded from their website.

Mate you haven’t applied for visa yet when you get your Visa without English test come back here

May your too know never ends in tears
