@marfrance Yes, I'm taking up postgrad studies in architectural science. You might want to check first if cook/chef occupation is still in the MLTSSL, because in order to apply for Graduate Work stream, you have to nominate an occupation that's on t…

@stephen macrohon if you're looking for accommodation, check out flatmates.com.au for listings. You can also browse there to see the price range of flats in specific areas.

@ChefMa My semester load is pretty heavy so I opted not to work at the moment. Marami kasing assignments due on the same week so crunch time talaga; no time and energy to think of working. Hopefully pag mas nakaluwag na ng konti sa study load ay mak…

@damassh I actually didn't apply for a scholarship in USyd. But successful admission to their program will make you eligible for the Vice-Chancellor International Scholarship (but they will only make you a scholarship offer if you're one of the top-…

@adamson187 Wala po ba sa MLTSSL yung respiratory technologist? Maybe you can find an occupation that matches your job description and nominate that instead of going into graphic design right away. Since your work experience is more related to heal…

@adamson187 Hi, are you planning to migrate to Australia permanently, specifically WA? Is it not possible for you to apply for PR with your current credentials? As you'll read across threads in the forum (which I recommend you do), migrating via stu…

@DreamPinoy hi, 1. I'd recommend finding a temporary place to stay (friends or relatives if you have any) at least for a few weeks while you look for a more permanent place to live. I just looked for listings at flatmates and scheduled viewings/in…

@abby126863846328746 hi, I just searched through uni websites for scholarships. In my experience, mas may scholarships ang universities for undergrad / postgrad degrees than let's say vocational schools. When in doubt, contact the scholarships offic…

@dyanisabelle I find that useful din yung unli calls and text, in case walang internet yung other person. Yung AUD 24/month is discount price, parang 5% discount from orig price. It's not much, but definitely a lot cheaper than 30/month ng Vodafone …

I've only been in Sydney for a month, but most of the people I've encountered (both Asian migrants and Caucasians) are nice naman. Nakakapanibago nga yung "how are you mate" whenever they greet you, minsan nakakalimutan ko magreply kasi d ko sure ku…

@dyanisabelle At first i kinda regretted buying the amaysim sim card, but when i realized how that free vodafone sim worked, parang mas tipid ung amaysim hahaha. Poor student lang ako kaya low-cost plan lang ang kinuha ko sa Jeenee, AUD 24/month on …

Hello hello~ Medyo nakapagsettle na ako kahit papaano sa Sydney (as student, not PR po). The first things I did were to apply for the NSW Photo Card, tax file number (even though wala pa rin akong work till now haha), open bank accounts, and activ…

@bankshot15 if PR is your endgame, why don't you check if you can apply directly for skilled migration?

@daint081189 you don't need to post the same question on multiple threads.

Write a short version of the SOP so that could be put in the text box, then provide the longer SOP in pdf format to IDP so they'll attach that to your application.

@MissAussie You plan to lodge student visa onshore? As far as I know, International students have to be full-time students (visa condition 8202), so taking a part-time evening course will not qualify you for a student visa. But of course, verify wit…

@Ajit22 if you know someone who is already in Australia, try asking how much ang palitan doon and then compare with the exchange rates in the Philippines. May countries kasi na mas OK ang palitan sa ibang bansa, meron din yung mas OK as pinas. You c…
