hope that helps. SA course naman, when it comes to price, mas mahal ang bachelors though ang difference naman nila ang mga institutions sa bachelors ay SVP (streamlined visa processing) so mas maluwag sila sa requirements like sa proof of funds (though in some cases ang institutionna mismo ang mag ask ng proof of funds mo kahit SVP pa) then aside from that may ibang vocational degree (like accounting) na hindi ka pwede mag apply ng further visa especially pr. hope to hear from our other friends here. good luck bro

Try niyo po bachelor or masteral kasi for SVP schools no proof of funds required.

Regarding naman sa proof of funds kapag SVP hindi na kami kailangan magpakita ng show money? Kase yun yung issue namin ang show money, eh unfortunately hindi na cya pwedeng e-sponsor ng Tita ko.

I'm new here reading the thread is so helpful for me lalo na nag aantay na lang ako ng result and hopefully positive result sana. Well anyway, here's my concern...my class orientation will start on sept 22 and nailodge ko lng po sept 11 nakareceive ako email from immi about ref no. and medical request nung sept 12. Done my med exam on sept 13 and now im worried if I'd still have enough time. Btw, my subclass is 573 BNursing in ACU sydey in my case po kase I have ELICOS packaged prior to my course and start date nga nun is sept 22. Does anyone here had same situation and have their visa result kahit na sobrang iksi ng timeline ko prior to visa lodgement date. Any advice naman po what to do if incase I still dont have a visa before Sept 22. Thanks

Eto ulit ako..haha..Ung pinagrereviewhan ko ng IELTS consultancy din sya..
Diba payo nila sakin mgaged care ako..Nung una ko narinig parang ok agad sakin taz after nun dun ko nga nabasa about sa bachelor..After 1 week pinagpasa nila ko ng scan ng passport,tor at diploma..para sa letter of offer daw..
Aun this week nakuha ko na ung letter of offer(Cert of Aged Care III-39wks taz ung IV-61 weeks)..Hindi naman nila ko pinilit na magbayad..sabe ko wait ko muna makamigrate parents ko sa US dahil sa gastos(pero dahilan lang un..may pera naman kame..nxt year sila mgmigrate actually)..Hindi ko mabanggit ung about sa bachelor..
Hayz nagtataka lang ako gusto nila ako pakuhanin ng Aged Care pero sa facebook nila ngpopost sila na bachelor maganda..
MagIELTS muna nga ako..Medyo nagiging confident na ko..yan lang talaga kulang sakin..
Tsaka ko na siguro pagisipan kung ano talaga...
