Hi guys, anyone here who has been accepted to take up diploma courses despite of completing a bachelor's degree in the Phils.? Did they question you why are you downgrading? For example, Bachelor of Psychology taking up a diploma course in Counselling. Thanks very much.

Have you guys been refused by a school before because you had a visa refusal in the past? Colleges like TAFE ask about it in their application forms. Thanks.

Hi evryone. Cno po may sample statement of purpose for dependent?
Hello po. Pa join po ako ng forum. Magaapply po kc ako ng student visa soon onshore applcation. Hnhntay ko pa yung letter of offer ko from the school, sept 25 na kc ung intake ko sb ng agent ko pwede ndw ako magstart while nka tourist vsa ako,bfore magexpire tourist vsa ko dun ndaw ako pwd magapply ng student vsa. May nka experience na po ba nto?
Is it worth it ba na mag lodge ako ng application thru other agent?? Information Planet kc name ng agency ko. Hndi ko sure kung magaling ba sila, i heard IDP madami na napa grant n student visa. Nacconfuse po ako..
Hello.. ask ko lang po baka meron may alam dito....
nag lodge po ako ng application for Student Visa last July 18, then August 1st week pa ako nakapagpa medical. Until now still waiting pa din po, which is okay pa naman kasi di pa naman po nare-reach yung maximum processing time.
Pero okay lang po ba mag apply ng Tourist Visa while waiting for my Student Visa?

Hello po tanong lang po ako sino po nakakaalam ng bagong rule sa funding? What I mean is do I need 20,000 aud saved in my bank account for 3 months or can I apply for subclass visa right away? Thanks po

under 500 it is not clear if we need to follow the 3 mos rule but just to be safe when lodging the visa my agent advice me that the we still follow it. unless your under the streamline visa which i believe does not follow the 3 mos rule.

@jrnery29 Hi po, applicable po yan sa subclass 500? Have you recently just applied? And depende rin po ba yan kung saang uni ka or in general po?
deecaliPhilippines Posts: 61Member Joined: Nov 05, 2016
Hi @dval ngaapply rin ako sa ACU pero sa Canberra branch. Part ng GTE assessment ung financial docs like bank statement etc kaya I think hihintayin un bago ka mabigyan ng offer letter.

Hello, everyone. I am working on my student visa via an agent. MBA ang naadvice saakin na course. Education ang undergrad degree ko. What are my chances of finding a job after taking this course (MBA)? Maganda po ba ito na course para makahanap ako ng work? Salamat!
If I were you, I'd think twice about taking an MBA degree. Wala kasing direct pathway yan towards permanent residency. unless you have excellent working experience, mahirap makakuha ng MBA-related jobs. How about IT?
Good luck!

I suggest that you take a look at the list of occupations eligible for the skilled visa programs: https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Work/Work/Skills-assessment-and-assessing-authorities/skilled-occupations-lists
