@@marysimon4483 Hi Mary, please check out this video I made ruclips.net/video/6_d_Df8DTFc/видео.html. I will make a video about bringing kids over soon, but maybe you also want to see this one ruclips.net/video/i9FRqZrteSw/видео.html
The entire information is insightful and answers most of the questions I personally need clarity with. In addition, you are a serious-minded person, as you were FOCUSED in your presentation. Well done, I deeply appreciate your efforts. Thank you.
Hi chioma, It's wonderful video you have made for the documents needed for various purposes.its very informative and very well explained by you. I am deeply thankful to you for this wonderful video you have made..
Thank you Ms. Chioma. This video plus all your videos have been more than helpful in learning about migrating to Australia. My question: You mentioned that my partner has to submit police clearance certificate and his identity documents too which is good but my question is in a situation where I want to apply and Travel first and then he applies later, will I need to submit all his documents at the point of my own application?
Yes, you may need to submit identity documents in the primary application but police clearance will come later for the subsequent entry visa. This was the process in my time. Not sure if things have changed now
I have 2 questions: 1st: my brother will sponsor me, and the first year of my master's costs 33,000AUD. How much should i provide as a bank statement? 2nd: how could i know if a University is on a high risk or no ?
Please watch this updated video regarding proof of funds ruclips.net/video/CnmKFXqMARE/видео.html. And this one for school and country risk levels ruclips.net/video/pMHsWMvRjbA/видео.html
thank you for this wonderful video, if i am to sponsor my wife for example and i work in a place where we pay no tax like countries win the middle east with zero tax to pay. thank you so much this is my most awaited video
Hello Chioma. My name is Kemi from Nigeria. I also want to come over to Australia for my MSW but the two schools I selected(Flinders University and Southern Australia University in Adelaide) both say I have to apply through an agent. I just want to ask, which schools did you select and did you need an agent to apply to those schools? I am really stressed out because my sister got scammed by agents before she finally travelled to the UK. My father doesn't want that to happen to me, so he is forcing me to go to London but I don't want to go.
Hi Kemi, yes some unis require you apply through an agent especially if applying offshore. I didn't have to go through an agent because I applied from within Australia. To be sure you are using an approved agent, you should find the agent's information on the school's official website. For Flinders, I found this www.flinders.edu.au/international/education-agents/our-team. Use the representatives listed for Africa. Hope this helps. Goodluck 😊
Would IELTS 5.5 be enough for the English language requirement for a Ph.D. visa applicant? However, I have checked the document checklist of Deakin University on the Home Affairs Department website, and there is no English test for Deakin University. Please I need clarification. I already wrote my IELTS and I got 5.5. Thank you
Hi Aminu, check if Deakin actually needs ielts from you. You can email or call them directly. Some schools waive English language requirements for applicants from countries where English is an official language. For your visa application however, 5.5 should be sufficient (last I checked). Please verify the currency of this information.
Thank you and your information is very insightful. You mentioned that a loan from an approved financial institution (bank) is accepted as a proof of fund. Can I use a bank loan as my proof of fund to apply for a study visa is it acceptable? Thanks
Thanks a lot for this video. If one is applying with a fully funded PhD program, will they need to show proof of funds for the accompanying family members? ( spouse and kids)
Hi Rhoda, yes, you may still be required to show proof of funds to cover first 12 months of living and travel expenses for your family. It will certainly not be as high as mentioned in this video. For more information please follow this link and read everything under 'Evidence you have enough money for your stay' immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/student-500#HowTo
Hi, thanks again. People say that applying for Student visa outside Australia has a long waiting time and the passing rate is lower. It's better to usa a visit visa to transfer to a student visa. How do you think about it? Thanks!
For the English Language requirement, would IELTS 5.5 be enough for PhD visa applicant? however, I have the document checklist of Deakin University the Home Affairs department doesn't require an English test for Deakin university and I have checked with colleagues, and they confirm that Deakin University doesn't require an English. Please any information!!
Hi Abimbola, you can compare rates for insurance here www.finder.com.au/health-insurance/overseas-student-health-cover-oshc. As long as your dad has the required evidence to demonstrate financial capacity that shouldn't be a problem
Chioma I have a question. The university I applied for my post graduate doesn't require ielts results and I got the offer letter. Do i really need ielts for my Visa application even when the university does require?
Yes, you may still need it for your visa. You never know if the visa will ask for it and if you do not present it within the allocated time frame, your visa could be denied.
Hi, good day. I wanted to ask if it is possible for someone with an unrelated bachelor's degree to apply for the MSW program in Australia? Also, If you already have a bachelor's degree, can you apply for a TAFE program and still be granted a student visa? Thank you.
Hi Divine, people with an unrelated Bachelor degree might be required to do a bridging diploma for a year before studying the MSWQ. To study toward a lower qualification at TAFE your statement of purpose must strongly address your reasons, otherwise you will not fulfill the GTE requirement. Thanks
Thank you for the replies, please I have another question for the PhD program do K need to ahow my WEAC? Or tbe academic transcript and certificate for both Bachelor and Masters are ok
Thanks for pointing it out, Akinwale. That's why I titled the most recent one as an updated video. I just didn't remember while I was filming the new one to mention that it is an updated version. I will include it in the description of this video to notify other viewers. Thanks again.
Hello :) When are you going live again? :) I am married with two kids (both under 18 years old). I received two different pieces of advice about lodging a student visa. 1 - to lodge a visa for me as a student of MSW, wait for the grant, before I apply for dependent visas for my spouse and my two kids. (but we won't be able to arrive in Australia all at the same time) 2 - to include my spouse and my two kids' visa application right away as I apply for my student visa. (but risk having immi reject my application) I do want my family to go with me right away, but do not want to risk immi rejecting my visa. Which one do you suggest I do? Is there a third option to this? Thank you.
Hi Abigail, I won't be live this weekend, but I'll announce a date soon. To answer your question, I can't advise you about the best option as I have seen cases where families came in together at once but also where they came in separately. I also know a few people whose family application was denied and I'm unsure why it happened. If it helps, my family came in separately, two months apart. Husband first and as soon as he started his course, we applied for myself and the kids. I would say 2 months is manageable to be apart from family but again, I have no idea what visa processing times are like right now due to covid related backlogs. I am sorry, I can't be more help than this, but goodluck with whatever you decide
Please I'm a new subscriber.im a Cameroonian I wish to ask 1) what's the roughly total cost moving to Australia for masters studies from Cameroon ( first semester tuition fees,, flight and compiling documents please) thanks
Hello Merveil, your question came just at the right time. I uploaded a video yesterday about proof of funds. Here's a link ruclips.net/video/CnmKFXqMARE/видео.html. Your tuition fees will depend on the school and course you are coming to study, so you will have to compare schools and courses, thanks.
Hi Taiwo, not sure where your brother is, but here in Australia, you get tax assessment documents at the end of the financial year. Tax related information is also provided in pay slips
Chioma thanks for your clarification we really appreciate but am requesting you if possible please make for us a video about the documents required for us who want to come through a vocational training college
Hello, Some schools waive ielts requirements for some courses if you're coming from an english speaking country and had your previous education in English. But for the student visa application, you still need to show English proficiency
