una po for sure either business diploma or aged care ang inooffer nila na course sayo tama ba? please be informed po na kahit matapos mo yan wala po yan pathway para maging PR or permanent resident ka sa Australia. gusto mo po ba na habang buhay na lang mag tuition dun? yun English exam ma'am para lang sa school nila yun pero if mag aapply ka na for residency or for example mag bridging program for nurses e need mo pa rin mag English exam. no show money? kunwari lang rin po yan pero ang totoo mag pasa ka pa rin ng financial documents from you, family or relatives sakanila showing na kaya mo isustain pag aaral mo sakanila, something na gagamitin nila against you pag nasa school ka na nila and marealize mo na di worth it ang babayad mo sakanila. And btw once naka enroll po sakanila e di ka nila papayagan lumipat and di irerelease kahit mag bago pa isip mo.
Alam ko to since may mga kakilala ako na nag aaral sa Lawson and almost all of them e masasabi na lang na if alam nila na ganon e ibang process sana tinake nila. Sana po naiiwas ko kayo sa mga bagay na magsisisi kayo something na di ko nagawa para sa friends ko. Wag po tayo makuntento sa basta makapunta lang ng Australia bahala na. Madami naman po willing sumagot and bigay ng advice Lalo na at big step sa buhay niyo yun
Cheers!

Natanggap na po ako sa isang university na in-applyan ko for Masters degree (thank you Lord!). Ni-rereview ko po ngayon yung offer letter and nag-cocompute ng mga kakailanganin na pera as show money sa embassy. Ang question ko po is kakayanin ko ba from my part-time work na mabayadan yung tuition fee? Ang tuition fee ko per sem is AUD 14k. Yung lodging ko is taken cared of na since titira ako sa kamag-anak pero balak ko pa din magprovide kahit papaano. Yung show money ko sa visa is galing sa parents ko pero hindi ko sya magagamit for my tuition fee so I'm on my own talaga. Meron naman akong savings pero sapat lang sya for my 1st sem. Kaya po ba sa mga part-time work i-cover yung ganun kalaking tuition fee? Kung meron na pong gumawa ng ganito, pede po pa-share ng experience? Maraming salamat!

A little background about me.. I came to Sydney in 2006 on a student visa.. After 2 years of studies, I applied for my Permanent Residency under Skilled Migration.. My PR was granted on March 2012.. Ung sister ko and brother also came here on student visas.. My sister in March 2008 and ung brother ko nung December 2012.. Lahat kami Permanent na dito sa Australia.. Kaya alam ko ang hirap at sakripisyo ng mga international students.. Hindi lang pera ang iniinvest kundi pati oras at effort and time away from family.. Kaya I want to help those that needs assistance as I was once in that position.
