You will definitely get a seat at check-in. You can talk to the airline staff about preferred seat options (aisle or window) when you’re checking in (if those options are still available). But you’d definitely get a seat.

thanks and God bless. You don't mind if I send you a mail?

thanks bro, I appreciate the . Can I also skip the option of picking a seat and go straight to payment?

Sorry to digress a bit. Nobody has talked about the wildlife in Australia, I have heard so much scaring stories about snakes and python. Can someone say something about this. How do the residents survive this? Or are the stories mere myths.

Finally bought the ticket, thanks for the guidelines.

Yes, there are academic sessions generally in Australia; beginning/early, mid and late/end. Schools that run the three give preference to onshore students to enrol in Semester 3 (late/end) and sometimes it depends on the choice of course and campus location.

All the best in your pursuit

There’s nothing you can do about it. It’s expected they’ll use the normal exchange rate. It’s always advisable to book in Naira and pay in Naira.
You should have exchange the AUD from your wife’s to your Naira then make payment with your Naira .
That’s the method I always use while booking though.

Enough of all these old stories from bloggers that haven’t been to Australia before 😂.
I’ve been living in Sydney for 4years now and I’m yet to see lizard talkless of Python. I even took my family to Sydney zoo and I didn’t see any snake.
Maybe in the regional areas but I have lots of friends in many regional areas and non of them mentioned any scary things. We all just move on with our daily lives.
Pack your back and come enjoy Australia, leave scary stories for the bloggers.

Go through agents recommended by the school. Most schools would refer you to agents...all the best!

denzel231:


Yeah

Please How were you able to book your medical?did you visit their office, call, or mail?

I sent them a mail, haven’t gotten a response yet.

i got itted to Charles darwin university in NT darwin. and i am at the GTE stage, waiting for it to be cleared. Anyone has an idea how long their GTE takes?

denzel231:
my wife AUD card

Did the calculations and I think they’re correct. $3500 aud is about $2400 usd which is about N1.1m @ N455/1 (official rate).

Actually thought you had the money in naira. It’s always better to convert $ to naira before doing any naira transactions. Never ever use your $ card to transact in naira.

NeuroToby:
Thank you!

Were you able to get a medical date? If you been able to, please how did you go about it?

I booked my biometrics myself online in vfs global and I paid about 12,500 in the AU office in vfs. For the medicals, every dates in the IOM website were booked, I had to call someone in Lagos to go to their office and they help me secured a spot, I paid 20k to get the spot secured because I was in a haste. Lastly, I met a girl at the medicals and she told me that she was able to book her date earlier by sending a mail to the IOM and they replied her, they were able to fix her a good date without paying. I hope this helps.

Good day, please I would like to confirm if I can get recommended agents that can help me apply for Masters of social work. The 2 agents I ed suggest that I should pick a management or business course just to get in and later I can switch my course.
My question, Is it that I can't be granted social work if I apply directly?

Congratulations in taking the first step. Next step is to wait for the school confirmation and their next instruction in their communication to you. While waiting, you can start gathering and perfecting your documents. You can go through the previous pages of this thread to see the required visa documents.

Yes, ing is on the Skillset list for PR but very competitive.

1. Make sure the agent you’re using is a ed/authorised agent from your chosen school.
2. I want to believe the agents advise was based on your academic/work experience profile.

What did you studied in your BSc? What’s your occupation?

Good afternoon my good people of this forum, and thank you all for your contributions.

Please help a brother, there's this travel agent I know, 2 months ago she asked me to provide 4.5m for Working Visa to Canada, but I delayed because I wasn't convinced. Now she's saying that the Canada Working Visa has closed, that what she has a link and it's available now is Australia working visa at 4.5m too. That I can pay 3mil and pay up the balance when my Visa is out.

Please advise me, is this feasible, what do I look out for, what questions do I need to ask?
