    Hi guys, bukas na flight namin ni wifey papuntang melbourne.:) ask lang, visa grant letter lang ba at certificate of enrollment ang usual na hinihingi nang immigration? the usual docs they ask?

    1 Today will be my day
    2 I'm the best me there is
    3 I know that I am a winner
    4 I can do it, I know I can
    5 God will always be with me

    Be positive and believe in yourself

    Hi guys, ask ko lang sana meron ba dyan sa inyo na related sa hospitality/tourism ang course? Yung sister ko kasi gusto mag student visa pero ang course niya sa atin ay hospitality.

    Karamihan kasi ay nursing and business courses pero wala ako alam sa hospitality. Also i want ung pathway to pr pag hospitality ang course sa Aus. Hope you can help me guys, thanks!

    @phamelaoh ..i remember when we first arrived here in 2010, yong friend naminang nag arrange ng initial na tinirhan namin ni mrs..pagdating na pagdating namin sa place namin ay nagbigay kami ng payment na cash then after a few days we opened our bank account...yong mga succeding payments ay through the bank account of our landlady. madali lang naman mag open ng bank account just provide your passport and valid ids. good luck

    @attila okay lg naman aq sa work q. D nman cla strict dto. They dont really check on you. and cash on hand walang tax so its not recorded as work talaga.

    you should pay your tuition fees in full amount every start of semester. i remember last july bayaran ng fees may friend aq na kulang pambayad nya, she asked for an extension d xa pinagbigyan ng uni.. Pg international students kasi strict cla kasi ng mmonitor dw ang immigration.

    yeah, mas makakaipon ka f july intake coz your next sem is feb/march pa.. and you have 2-3 months na summer break, that means mkkapang full time work ka :) no work limitations.

    @patet34 ahehe! yeah ielts ka muna then decide kung ano gusto mo :)
    But for me, bachelor of nursing is better than taking up cert in aged care. Its practical. kahit medyo mahal xa than aged care, atleast after graduation mo Mkakapag apply ka ng grad visa then PR. whereas pag aged care, mahihirapan kang mghanap ngsponsor for your visa..

    Best of luck! keep me posted :)

    with regard to the payment of tuition fees, i would add that at time it would depend your institution if what then is their policy regarding succeeding payment since in my wifey's case, the university allows them to pay in instalment basis yet the thing is, you then would not be able to check on your marks from your previous semester. To sum up, it is rather a case to case basis depending on your institution's policy whether they allow international student to pay in full or the other way around.

    i know at nakaka stress yan lalo na pag pinapadalhan ng school ang estudyante ng letter na magsasabi doon na i cancel ng school ang COE pag hindi makapagbayad...but i know God will provide and we also though need to make our own share....im happy that you are doing good also in your field now. good luck and God bless
