You're indeed doing a great job with this Chioma. One other aspect that people don't get to discuss enough as far as student visa is concerned, is the issue of OSHC (i.e. health insurance cover). Especially for PhD students planning to come with family; people need to understand the requirements for total cover for everybody on the visa, and for the total duration of the program. Well done ma'am.
Thanks Bobmanuel. You raise a great point about OHSC. I will pin your comment, so others can see it, especially people coming with family. I hope your studies are going as expected.
@@lifewithchioma Hi, can you clarify the ambiguity surrounding Proof of Fund? If DHA documentary checklist didn't state PoF as part of what to tender, is it then a MUST?
@@akinwaleakinrinde8964 It would appear to not be mandatory when you use the document checklist tool on the website, but I know 2 people whose visas have been denied for PoF reasons. One of them was contacted to show evidence of PoF within a certain number of days and the visa was subsequently denied. The other one had a straight up rejection - no request to provide it. The visa officer has that much discretion. So my advice is, provide it even if not asked, because you may not even be given the opportunity to provide it at a later date.
Please, can you enlighten me on Australian student visa for Nigerians. The ease of obtaining the Australian student visa. The job/work opportunity for one undergoing an MSC studies in Australian University,for Nigerians. I am trying to apply for U.K Msc but prefer to migrate to Australia though if its processes and visa are obtainable. Thank you,as I anticipate your first hand response.
All I can advise people on GTE is exactly what you said. Sit, read your GTE statement and verify if you have documents to proof each and every of your claims. If you claim to work, what's the evidence? Your parents are aged, do you have their birth cert or affidavit? You're married and/or have a child, what's the proof? I was lucky enough to get my GTE approved in 4 days. It's doable, provide evidence for all your claims. Assume they see in you a liar, prove your claims beyond reasonable doubt!
i can not just stop watching this video, you might have other very excellent videos, but this video is just the heaven to all students. i have watched this video more than 6times any time am getting on how to get some very good student infos. i add this with immigration and home affaires. you are are blessing to the world and God bless you
A good agent can make a difference in your planning and make it easier to navigate the immigration process, but you still cannot rely entirely on what they tell you. Have you found it helpful to use an agent?

It must be stressful not knowing the status of your visa application. Unfortunately, I can't answer that as I don't work in the visa office. I can only encourage you to hang on and not lose hope.
Hello Chioma. You look so elegant in that white shirt and gold chain😍 (as always) I wonder if coming over to do a MSW qualifying with a BSW won't be a red flag... There's a high unemployment rate amongst social workers in SA so I don't have work experience after my qualification.
I replied your comment, refreshed my page and it disappeared, so if you see 2 replies, it's the internet gods 😊. Aww, thanks! An MSW after a BSW is an accepted progression. I know, the 'Qualifying' bit isconfusing, but the course structure for MSW and MSW(Q) are similar, so you should be fine applying for either. Have you considered applying for PR with your BSW? You may still meet the cut off even without work experience. Use the points test and see how many points you get.
Well done chioma, pls can ielts waiver also cause visa denied? I mean some universities will say if an applicants are from English speaking countries applicants just to proof that previous program ( bachelor's degree) was taught in English can this also lead to visa denied?
This video is very informative. Thank you! What if you actually don't want to go back home and eventually want to work in AU? Should you still say you intend to go back home to get the visa?
Yes ,it was granted without pof.Pof is not a requirement for my country but i had it ready should they have requested. It was lodgment,medicals &biometrics..then approval.
Thanks for sharing so much knowledge. Happy to come across your channel. I will like to ask this, in a case whereby my dad is sponsoring my education and my spouse is leaving with me. Can my spouse expenses be added to my dad's account or he has to show his own separately. I need a guide on this. Thank you ma'am.
Hi Chioma,my brother got an admission to Australia Catholic University through an agent,how do I find out the ranking of the school? he is also applying for the Visa what are the things I will need to ask him,he gave us some form to fill for the Visa application when
Good day, I got a 5 years ban from Canada stating misrepresentation please I will like to know if I will be able to apply for a study permit for Australia since these 2 countries are part of the 5 Eyes Alliance? Thank you
Hello, while it may have increased your risk of a denial, you may still be able to get a visa provided you sufficiently address the reason for your previous outcome from Canada. Seek proper advice from a migration lawyer before you apply again. Goodluck
@ Chioma, thanks for the information. Please regarding the proof of fund. Is it possible to present the account statement of my sponsor who resides in Australia?
on the issue of career change please advise on how one can account for their background of education and work especially considering career change at an older age to cover for the gap years
It helps if you explain your gap in terms of activities (employment, volunteering etc) you engaged in that are relevant to the study choice for which you are seeking a visa.
Hi Chioma , I just recently subscribed your channel. My students visa is refused 2 times : First rejected on 30 September 2021 , the reason is they not believe as I’m back to my home Country. Second rejected on 21 July 2022, the reason I have considered the applicant’s circumstances in his home country And some reason that are seems to be unfair . This situation frustrating me and seems no chance to study in Australia. I’m concerned reapply my 3 visa .
Thank you for the eye-opener. I got to know your channel through a session you had with Nanelle Griselda. I am a Medical social worker. Please how can I go about applying for PR from Nigeria? Where do I start? Bassey.
You will start by submitting your documents to AASW for a skills assessment; and then you need to sit IELTS (academic). Please read this www.aasw.asn.au/careers-study/assessment-of-social-work-qualifications-international-or-australian-for-migration-and-or-employment-purposes#:~:text=The%20AASW%20assesses%20social%20work,eligibility%20and%20migration%20skills%20assessment
Hi Chioma, good job you are doing here. Please do you have like a WhatsApp community for Nigerians intending to relocate via school route, if you don’t, is something you would think of, it will greatly assist us especially some of us who do not have relation in Australia.
Thank you for the educative video. What would you advise in my case where my sister will tale care of my fees and stay in Australia as I do masters degree. She is already in Australia and I will be staying with her during my studies. Would that weigh my GTE down? As I will be using her bank statements
I will advise you to consult a migration agent regarding using your sister's bank statements, but one thing I will point out related to your GTE is to make a strong point about returning to your home country despite having family in Australia. Goodluck
Chioma thank you very much. My question is, my son is 17 years old, just wrote his WACE, can I enroll him in a school in Australia and be his guidance too.
Hello ma'am, hope you are doing well. i am applying for student visa with my husband and daughter. My bachelors was in mass communication and media studies but i am a teacher by profession , has been teaching since 1.5 years. now i want to pursue my teaching career thats why i am taking admission in Master in Teaching ( early childhood ) i have all the evidence and awards of my work experience. can i apply?
Hello mam i have done medical and got result High Blood Pressure of 145/90 Can it reject of what I applied TSS-482 Working Visa,,??.. Please answer mam
Not sure, I understand what you mean by payment summary. I believe your tax assessment comes with a pay summary and tax assessments can be accepted if you're sponsoring a spouse or child according to the Department.
Hello Thanks so much for this video I am really bent on studying in Australia and I currently am working to raise money. I have no doubt I would have the cash before then, however I am not sure how the proof of funds can be done, can I sponsor myself? How do I show the immigration officer I would keep having the money to support myself given that I would quit my job before leaving Nigeria Please help out here. Thanks so much
With Australia as a government policy being to recruit skilled workers for permanent immigration, is it wrong to show to immigration that your plan is to study and eventually live in Australia as opposed to moving back home at the point of applying for a study visa?
For the purpose of applying for a student visa, you can only demonstrate the genuineness of your intentions to study. If you indicate interest in anything else, then your motives come into question and that is a risk.
Plz ma'am in the case of a person dropped out of University in Nigeria due to her fathers death when she was in 300l,she also have a proof to that. both with my school credentials.she also have her neco result of over 20 years now, is their any hope for her to apply for a BSC in Australia?mean well she is married with kids but didn't have intention of coming with them immediately
Hello ma'am, hope you are doing well. My wife has done bachelors in media studies. but she is going to do masters in teaching in early childhood. because she has more than 2 years of teaching experience in 2 different countries can we do this? waiting for your response :)
Hi my US and Canadian student visa was rejected 5 yrs ago when I applied for studying bachelor. Now I am trying to apply for Australian visa this year for masters. what is the chance of getting my visa?
Hello, if you come across that question in your application, please be honest in your response, give reasons for overstaying and address the risk in your application. I wish you all the best.
Hi Abu Bakkar, this is the advice from the immigration department immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-processing-times/global-visa-processing-times#
I have just subscribed to your channel, but i have a question please can i update my CV to be different from what i submitted to the school for admission from what i want to send to the immigration department
Hi, I am a new subscriber, and I want to know your thoughts about taking up a new course, I graduated last 2014, and has been working since 2015 until 2021, and now, I wanted to study in OZ with a new course. I enrolled for a Diploma, my SV got rejected last June, and now, my agent told me that we will package a course, so once I finish my diploma, I will study a bachelor's dregree. Pls let me know, thank you
Hi Claire, yes, unfortunately Diplomas are considered risky for student visa applications. Sounds like your agent has addressed that by packaging courses for you. Good luck.
@@lifewithchioma thanks Chioma, please pray for me and for other people who got refused as well. We're all trying our best to make it to Australia. More power to you and to your YT channel
With an msc,can i go for another Msc in a different field? Second, with a scholarship do we need still show proof of funds to the tune of 30k?Finally can one go with kids immediately instead of bringing them later?
Hello, you will need to write a convincing personal statement to explain your switch into another field. Find out what your scholarship covers and then subtract that from the total funds required for your first 12 months of stay. That will be the amount you will need to demonstrate as PoF. Please watch this video I made recently ruclips.net/video/CnmKFXqMARE/видео.html. Yes you can come with kids at the same time, but I hear it is considered a risk factor and people are being advised to travel separately. Please consult a migration agent for advice. Thanks
Thans a lot for this content!!! I have been admitted to study a master's program at Federal University, is this university part of the low-risk universities according to the immigration? could you also provide a link for how to check the high-risks universities
Thanks for your educational video. Recently I completed my BBA (2021) and MBA (2022). Now I want to apply for 2 years (52-week certificate iii and 52-week certificate iv) in the Individual Support course. Can I get a visa in this situation?
Hi Chi, I recently subscribed your channel. I have a doubt to cleared. Does educational gap matters ? I have completed B.com in 2014 and MBA in 2016. After that I was working as an accountant till date. When I reach out to an agency they told if your have educational gap then visa will be rejected also since I’m having a masters it will be very difficult for me to study their. Is these all are true ?
Hi, thanks for subscribing. Keeping in mind that I'm not a migration agent, my experience is that as long as you explain the gap to demonstrate that you have used your time toward pursuing activitirs related to the course you want to study, that should be ok. Regarding your existing Masters, yes, it is seen as a red flag if you show you already have a Masters and want to study another.
I have done Ms in clinical psychology from pakistan but i want to the same masters from Australia... After 7 years bcoz i think studying clinical psychology from there will help me know about the tools they use and practicing there and getting license... Do you think my visa will be rejected plzzz help
I think your background is related to what you want to study so in my opinion, that should be fine. However, I am not a visa officer and my opinion is not expert opinion. Goodluck
Hi Chioma, thanks for your video, I have recently subscribed to your channel. I just received my student status last week and it was refused. And I am planning to relodge and made some show money for 32k AUD. I have some properties as well which I provided a deed of sale and one tax-declared house. I have already a bachelor's in engineering, however, I really don't have any experience in my field, most of my experience is in restaurants for 7 years. 4 years kitchen staff and 3 years being a manager. Do you think it is safe for me to take Cert 3, cert 4, and Diploma in hospitality management since I don't have a formal education in hospitality? I will appreciate your insights. Thank you so much.
Sad to hear that your visa was refused. If you were provided reasons for the refusal, please make sure to address them in your new application. A few other things to think about - studying toward a cert or diploma when you already have a Bachelor degree might raise suspicions, except of course you do not include your Bachelors in your application. Also if you are a manager already, why are you studying toward a cert which is a very basic qualification?
@@lifewithchioma I understand, I thought that taking a diploma was okay since I don't have a bachelor's related to my experience, I have a bachelor's but in a different field however, I don't have experience working in my field. I'll have a consultation with a migration lawyer the next day and hope to get a clearer answer. thank you, Chioma
It depends on what your plans are, Isaac. Different states have different potentials, but generally speaking most people go to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth. Adelaide is also good for health care jobs.
@@lifewithchioma which state will you recommend from your experience.. I want a state I can network with people,see good job opportunities, do a business if possible, a state that will help me thrive more, a state that as easy PR pathway Pls I just need your opinion
My student visa was denied because i did not provide enough proof of my rlnshp with my my sponsor(uncle) provided them with my father and uncle birthcertificates as proof of relationship. Please help in any other proof i can submit that can help me in my relodgement.
Hi Olusegun, while you can apply for a Diploma, it is worth considering that Diplomas have gained a bit of a 'risk' reputation at the moment especially from applicants of certain countries. You may obtain enrolment from the school but hit a snag when you apply for your visa.
@@lifewithchioma thanks for your response. What is the best programs one can apply for? As for me, I wanted to start with vocational education training after which I will proceed to the bachelor degree program because of the high tuition fees. Hoping to hear from you soon
Hi. On the 4th of July I received a natural justice letter for not stating my Canadian visa refusal that was in my old passport. On July 7, we added our answer to this as a pdf in the other documents section. Do you think I have a chance to get a visa? ( application date march 2022, subclass 500 for 6 month language school)
You have said it all...this video has just erased some perceptions or things that I would have done without seeing this. Is there any way that I can get in contact with you?

I think you stand a chance as sociology is considered a related background

Please can you help me my Australia student online visa application was refusal yesterday because of my GTE
Please should i do the copies certified of my diploma before to upload on the portal?
If you can’t trust an agent - then what source of assistance should you seek ?
Hi my US and Canadian student visa was rejected 5 yrs ago when I applied for studying bachelor. Now I am trying to apply for Australian visa this year for masters. what is the chance of getting my visa?
You may have to consult a migration agent for that Thanks
I have over stayed in UK few years back, would that affect subclass 500?
Hello, if you come across that question in your application, please be honest in your response, give reasons for overstaying and address the risk in your application. I wish you all the best.
Maximum how many days it take to get the visa from Australian high commission these days??
Hi Abu Bakkar, this is the advice from the immigration department immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-processing-times/global-visa-processing-times#
I have just subscribed to your channel, but i have a question please can i update my CV to be different from what i submitted to the school for admission from what i want to send to the immigration department
I suppose you can.
What happens when my wife is in processing for student visa and get pregnant ?
You can still apply, just make sure to notify immigration if the baby is born before your visa is processed.
Hi, I am a new subscriber, and I want to know your thoughts about taking up a new course, I graduated last 2014, and has been working since 2015 until 2021, and now, I wanted to study in OZ with a new course. I enrolled for a Diploma, my SV got rejected last June, and now, my agent told me that we will package a course, so once I finish my diploma, I will study a bachelor's dregree. Pls let me know, thank you
Hi Claire, yes, unfortunately Diplomas are considered risky for student visa applications. Sounds like your agent has addressed that by packaging courses for you. Good luck.
@@lifewithchioma thanks Chioma, please pray for me and for other people who got refused as well. We're all trying our best to make it to Australia. More power to you and to your YT channel
With an msc,can i go for another Msc in a different field? Second, with a scholarship do we need still show proof of funds to the tune of 30k?Finally can one go with kids immediately instead of bringing them later?
Hello, you will need to write a convincing personal statement to explain your switch into another field. Find out what your scholarship covers and then subtract that from the total funds required for your first 12 months of stay. That will be the amount you will need to demonstrate as PoF. Please watch this video I made recently ruclips.net/video/CnmKFXqMARE/видео.html. Yes you can come with kids at the same time, but I hear it is considered a risk factor and people are being advised to travel separately. Please consult a migration agent for advice. Thanks
Thank you
@@lifewithchioma Hi Chioma but what if you have no money in the bank at all but is planning to work to support to your studies?
Thans a lot for this content!!! I have been admitted to study a master's program at Federal University, is this university part of the low-risk universities according to the immigration? could you also provide a link for how to check the high-risks universities
Please watch this ruclips.net/video/pMHsWMvRjbA/видео.html
Thanks for your educational video. Recently I completed my BBA (2021) and MBA (2022). Now I want to apply for 2 years (52-week certificate iii and 52-week certificate iv) in the Individual Support course. Can I get a visa in this situation?
Hi, it might be a challenge to get a visa for a certificate course in a field unrelated to your educational background. But goodluck!
Hi Chi,
I recently subscribed your channel. I have a doubt to cleared.
Does educational gap matters ?
I have completed B.com in 2014 and MBA in 2016. After that I was working as an accountant till date.
When I reach out to an agency they told if your have educational gap then visa will be rejected also since I’m having a masters it will be very difficult for me to study their. Is these all are true ?
Hi, thanks for subscribing. Keeping in mind that I'm not a migration agent, my experience is that as long as you explain the gap to demonstrate that you have used your time toward pursuing activitirs related to the course you want to study, that should be ok. Regarding your existing Masters, yes, it is seen as a red flag if you show you already have a Masters and want to study another.
I have done Ms in clinical psychology from pakistan but i want to the same masters from Australia... After 7 years bcoz i think studying clinical psychology from there will help me know about the tools they use and practicing there and getting license... Do you think my visa will be rejected plzzz help
I think your background is related to what you want to study so in my opinion, that should be fine. However, I am not a visa officer and my opinion is not expert opinion. Goodluck
Can you help me I have big issue
How can we check the level of the school???
Hi, please watch this video about risk assessments for student visa applicationsruclips.net/video/pMHsWMvRjbA/видео.html
Hello Dear am pregnant can I get student visa as Iam planning to take my husband on a spouse visa
Hi Chioma, thanks for your video, I have recently subscribed to your channel. I just received my student status last week and it was refused. And I am planning to relodge and made some show money for 32k AUD. I have some properties as well which I provided a deed of sale and one tax-declared house.
I have already a bachelor's in engineering, however, I really don't have any experience in my field, most of my experience is in restaurants for 7 years. 4 years kitchen staff and 3 years being a manager. Do you think it is safe for me to take Cert 3, cert 4, and Diploma in hospitality management since I don't have a formal education in hospitality?
I will appreciate your insights.
Thank you so much.
Sad to hear that your visa was refused. If you were provided reasons for the refusal, please make sure to address them in your new application. A few other things to think about - studying toward a cert or diploma when you already have a Bachelor degree might raise suspicions, except of course you do not include your Bachelors in your application. Also if you are a manager already, why are you studying toward a cert which is a very basic qualification?
@@lifewithchioma I understand, I thought that taking a diploma was okay since I don't have a bachelor's related to my experience, I have a bachelor's but in a different field however, I don't have experience working in my field. I'll have a consultation with a migration lawyer the next day and hope to get a clearer answer. thank you, Chioma
I was denied a US immigrant Visa 8yrs ago, is it still relevant to mention it?
Pls which province as good opportunity in Australia 🇦🇺
It depends on what your plans are, Isaac. Different states have different potentials, but generally speaking most people go to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth. Adelaide is also good for health care jobs.
@@lifewithchioma pls can I dm you on Instagram
@@lifewithchioma which state will you recommend from your experience.. I want a state I can network with people,see good job opportunities, do a business if possible, a state that will help me thrive more, a state that as easy PR pathway

My student visa was denied because i did not provide enough proof of my rlnshp with my my sponsor(uncle) provided them with my father and uncle birthcertificates as proof of relationship. Please help in any other proof i can submit that can help me in my relodgement.
Please speak to a migration agent. Thanks
Watching this 6 months latter 🤣
Hello Mrs chioma,
Please is it advisable to apply for a 2year diploma program.
What are the chances of getting visa granted.
Thanks in anticipation
Hi Olusegun, while you can apply for a Diploma, it is worth considering that Diplomas have gained a bit of a 'risk' reputation at the moment especially from applicants of certain countries. You may obtain enrolment from the school but hit a snag when you apply for your visa.
@@lifewithchioma thanks for your response.
What is the best programs one can apply for?
As for me, I wanted to start with vocational education training after which I will proceed to the bachelor degree program because of the high tuition fees.
Hoping to hear from you soon
Do we need to declare if we have US tourist visa refusal in 2016? And will that hamper our student visa application to Austerlia???
Yes, best to declare every refusal and demonstrate that you have addressed the reasons for previous refusal.
Pls can one not come to australia tru job application
Yes, please look in my 'Jobs' playlist on my channel. I have a video about employer sponsorship. Thanks
Hi. On the 4th of July I received a natural justice letter for not stating my Canadian visa refusal that was in my old passport. On July 7, we added our answer to this as a pdf in the other documents section.
Do you think I have a chance to get a visa? ( application date march 2022, subclass 500 for 6 month language school)
Hi Pala, I really can't predict what might happen with your application, but goodluck!
@@lifewithchioma thanks. Do you think I will wait longer? It's been 36 days since I received the natural justice letter.
Which agent can l trast
Do your own research first before engaging any agent
My visa rejected on July 1
I am so sorry to hear that Aravind. I hope you rise from the disappointment and still pursue your dreams regardless. All the best to you.
Why

You have said it all...this video has just erased some perceptions or things that I would have done without seeing this. Is there any way that I can get in contact with you?
