    FYI
    For TAX purposes, International Students are consider Australian resident
    http://www.ato.gov.au/Individuals/Income-and-deductions/In-detail/How-tax-works/Working-holidaymakers-and-international-students/?anchor=H2#internatstudent

    Meaning our tax rates will be based on this table
    http://www.ato.gov.au/Rates/Individual-income-tax-rates/

    so, we are also entitled to some deductions????? :-/

    @TinerBebi yung school ko eligible for streamlined visa processing. may list of schools sa immigration site. you might want to check. here's the link. http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/F2013L01035

    di ka pa nakapagbayad sa school di ba? you might want to consider choosing one na under SVP. yung course na gusto mo offered naman ata sa other schools na under SVP. yung mahirap lang naman kasing icomply sa requirements e yung proof of funds. e wala sa SVP yun. bawas sa iisipin. di naman ganun kahirap makakuha ng offer sa schools so you can change your mind pa. pag nagbackread ka, you will know na madalas sa cases ng refusals, proof of funds ang problema. suggestion lang naman para di ka masyadong mahirapan. hehe.

    DIAC is Department of Immigration and Citizenship while IDP is just IDP. hehe. education agent ang IDP, helping students from application to school until visa processing. if you can get in touch with IDP from your place, mas ok. free naman ang services nila as long as sila talaga nagprocess from the very beginning.

    yes. we have to pay taxes too. pagkakaalam ko, if we want to work there, pagdating natin dun, we have to secure agad one that is equivalent sa TIN natin dito. nakalimutan ko what it's called. kasi if not, mas malaki ang tax na ibabawas.

    @iheartoz Salamat…actually nakikita ko ung APIC (Asia Pacific International College) as Education Business Partner ng Victoria University. But when I asked my agent, hindi pa daw SVP ung APIC, unless packaged ung course ko with Victoria Uni. I wanted to go for those school na SVP like Victoria Uni kaso sobrang mahal na ng tuition fees. MBA in APIC is AUD 24k for 2 years, pero pag Victoria Uni, nasa more or less 40k for 2 years…
    I am waiting nga for chill_ice to reply my comment in her thread kasi parehas kme ng school and course.
    She have a phone interview with an immi officer: http://www.pinoyau.info/discussion/1556/telephone-interview-by-co#Item_13

    @TinerBebi wow. laki ng difference. may difference din pala sa fees kahit same course. di ko alam yan. other partners kaya ng ibang uni? baka merong naka-SVP na. i think di naman nainterview si @chill_ice. she was informed lang pero wala nang follow-up.

    @TinerBebi if choice mo talaga APIC, siguraduhin mo na lang na kumpleto documents mo for proof of funds. read, read, read muna bago ka mag-apply.

    @trinketz_07 nag email sa akin ang DIAC, naka lagay doon kung ano yung mga medical exam na need pa. in my case, pathology test for my left breast, during the time ng medical ko, i have my period. before hand pa ininform ko na yung doktor, para hindi na ako iphysical. sabi din ng xray technician na hindi ako pwedeng iphysical, di ako pinakinggan. so eto balik uli sa Makati to get my referral sa specialist, additional unnecessary expense.
