BS Electronics and Communication Engineering ang natapos ko tpos plan ko sana kumuha ng IT course kaso hndi cya inooffer dun sa mga university na malapit dun sa area sa australia na pupuntahan ko kaya yung second option ko yung management course, kaso hndi cya related dun sa natapos, any advise na pwede kong gawin?.
currently andito ako sa africa pero pabalik narin ako ng pilipinas para ayusin yung mga required documents. Purpose ko lang sana dito pra mgbkasayon kaya hwak ko lng nung umalis ako ay visit visa pero fortunately ngkaron din ako ng temporary work dito as Store Manager kaya ngakron ako ng workng permit habang andito ako.
Tanong ko dito magiging malaking factor ba yung from visit purpose lang tpos nagkaron ako ng working permit dito, sa pagproprocess ng student visa ko, worried ko lang kasi baka tanungin nila ako na visit visa lang kinuha ko tpos pagdating ko ng africa ngwork din ako, at itanong din po nila na baka ganyan din gawin ko sa australia, any advise kung ano pwede mangandang isagot ko dun
tanong po ulit, pwede ko din po bang sabahin sa immigration na kaya management course yung kukunin ko dahil sa pagtratrabaho ko dito sa africa as store manager nagkaron ako ng interest na itake yung management course, pra ienhance pa yung managerial skills ko.
Pacensya na po kung hindi ito yung right place pra itanong yung mga ito, gsto ko lang kasi maliwanagan.
Thank you sa mga magiging reply nyo.

"IF YOU ASK ANYTHING IN MY NAME, I WILL DO IT".
John 14:14
Loving Lord!The Scripture says that You are aware of all our needs, even before we ask You. So I come to You and place this request at Your loving hands.You know how desperate I am for getting the Visa. My soul has become weary and anxious over this delay in getting the visa .O Lord! Speak in the hearts of the concerned officials, grant me favour in their eyes and help me to get my visa on time so that my purpose is fulfilled. Perfect everything for me my Master. I wait at Your feet and trust in You to make this possible. I know that You will do it for You will never let Your children down. I thank You for listening to my plea! To You alone be all honour and glory. In the sweet name of Jesus I pray.Amen.

I just received a message from my school's international office na pwede pala ako pumili nang OSHC provider kahit may exclusive provider kami. At least I can opt for a more affordable one. Write your OSHC provider as a comment please.
Also,. I found this site that compares OSHC providers. Have a look. (https://www.oshcaustralia.com.au)
Thanks
