Commit to the Lord everything you do. Then your plans will succeed. Proverbs 16:3 (NIRV)

The longer you have to wait for something, the more you will appreciate it when it finally arrives. The harder you have to fight for something, the more priceless it will become when you achieve it. And the more pain you have to endure on your journey, the sweeter the arrival at your destination. All good things are worth waiting for, and worth fighting for.

    Hello everyone! my intake is on January 20, 2014...sana it was this October 8 but since there's still no news from DIAC, my consultancy firm and my school moved it to next year. The waiting part is really nerve-wrecking and all I can say is to stay grounded and have faith in God...I hope all of us here would see each other in Oz next year! To God be the Glory! :)

    @markier87 hi! I don't know but I think if you are keen enough to do research about how to apply and your requirements are satisfactory to even great, I guess you don't need a MARA agent :) The key here I think is to do proper research before you make a decision :)
