Need Advise

leaxxx

Hi po. Ayon po sa research ko pinaka da best po na kukunin ko dapat is Conversion program in nursing since wala akong experience (fresh grad) too late na daw mag apply for conversion ngayon kasi May na. So advise ng agency sakin magtake muna ako ng course (Cert IV Aged Care) then transfer nalang ako ng school kahit di ko daw po tapusin yung course.

Advise lang po kung okay ba siya na gawin? Hindi po ba ako magkakaproblema sa pagtransfer? I wanted to go to australia na din po asap para makahanap agad work and makapag adjust.

AFAIK, a student visa is granted toward a specific course or qualification. While it possible to make changes along the way there might be some considerations. You may want to read this from here.

Transfer institute or course
There are a number of things to organise and check before you make the decision to change either your course of study or your institution. You should first ask your student support services on campus or other advisors for help and advice. And make sure that you first check your student visa requirements and ensure you follow the correct procedures to maintain your visa. Don’t assume that the advice you get from friends, fellow students or education agents is correct. And you should also make sure you keep a copy of your course cancellation and enrolment paperwork.

Remember, if you change your institution or course at any time you must contact the Department of Home Affairs and provide an electronic Confirmation of Enrolment (eCoE) certificate from your new institution.

Changing your course
If you want to change to a new course at the same institution you are currently studying and at the same level of qualification, you do not need to apply for a new student visa unless your current visa is about to expire.

Changing your level of qualification
If you want to change your level of qualification, for example from a Diploma to a Bachelor Degree, you may need to apply for a new student visa because your visa subclass may change. You should visit the DIBP website to find out more information.

Changing your institution
If you are thinking of moving to a different institution you need to speak with your current institution for information on doing this. In most circumstances the new institution will be restricted from enrolling you if you have not completed 6 months of the main course of study (at your current institution) for which your visa was granted.

If you want to change institutions before completing the first six months of your main course of study you must contact your current institution for permission. You will require a letter of offer from the new institution in order to apply for a letter of release from your current institution.

Hello, I need an advice po. I am currently a student visa holder which will expire April 2020. However, just recently nag submit ako ng EOI for 189 and 190 because I already achieved my desired points of 75 and 80 respectively. Technically, I am waiting for an invite na lang but I know it will take long. With that, I don't want to pursue my studies here and just go home, wait for the invite sa Pinas na lang. Question, will there be any implication pag nacancel student visa ko now, to my future PR visa application? Thank you in advance for the help.
