Friend of mine did it - but they are a bloody genius and got a full ride scholarship, so it may not be so relevant, despite being the cheapest option. I think there are alot of study abroad scholarships - but it varies per country. Maybe just work part time while you are there, if your visa allows it. Tl;dr - for the cheapest way, either be in the mafia or be a genius. This holds true for most things in life though. Realistic method... just apply for aid and work.

I think it's better (and safer) to take IELTS (Academic) anyway, both the uni and the country will like to see you ended up sitting both ;)

If uni is accepting fine otherwise while applying for PR you need to appear for IELTS examination.

Once I get my visa w/ permission to work, I'm thinking of getting a job as a clothing shop clerk, a glassie, or barista. I'd like to know how easy/difficult it'll be to secure a job so I can budget accordingly.

Hello Soon enough I'll be in the same predicament as you. I am not sure if you are currently in Australia or not, but once you have the visa finding work in the fields you specify shouldn't be too difficult. Surprisingly enough, some of your main competition will come from other foreign young people on 1/2 year working holiday visas. The tourism industry is always a great idea, but if you end up in hospitality no worries--the average waiter, clerk, makes substantially more than they would in America about 15-22AUD an hour. Hope this helps :)

does Australia similar to Canada in having special immigration program for overseas students called canadian experience class allows overseas student who gaind qualification from canada to get PR
Immigration - 2 Answers

1 :
Not as such. If you get a degree from an Australian university and that degree is the natural way to get into one of the professions that is on the immigration list (at the time you graduate not the time you enroll) you are eligible for a bridging visa which allows you to get some work experience in Australia for 18 months and can (possible only) lead to sponsorship for a migration visa.
2 :
PR after Australian studies is not in any way automatic and many students who study here must leave the country when their student visa expires. It all depends on their occupation and whether Australia still needs workers in that occupation. If a student studies for 2 years in Australia and gains qualifications in an occupation that is on the Skilled Occupations List (SOL) that is current at the time of graduation, they can apply for a permanent visa if they can pass the points test. If they can't pass the points test at that time, they can apply for an 18 month Graduate visa to enable them to gain additional Australian work experience points or to improve their English. In either case, they will be granted a Bridging visa to enable them to stay in Australia and work while waiting for the Permanent or Graduate visa to be decided. http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/_pdf/sol-schedule3.pdf The SOL http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/885/ Onshore permanent visa http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/485/ 18 month Graduate visa If their occupation is not on the SOL when they graduate, they can only stay in Australia if their occupation is listed as eligible for an employer sponsored visa AND if they have been able to find employer sponsorship. After 2 years on a temporary visa, they may be eligible to apply for a permanent employer sponsored visa if their occupation is listed on the Employer Nomination Scheme Occupation List (ENSOL) and if their employer is willing to sponsor them for an ENS visa. http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/_pdf/ensol.pdf The ENSOL http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/skilled-workers/visa-options.htm Employer sponsored visas

But if you are staying in a motel, your visa papers, etc should be ok to be left there as if on the slim chance you were asked for them, the authorities here would allow you to retrieve them from your accommodation. As for practical things to carry, if you're here in summer, then sunscreen, water, insect repellant, would probably be major things. Anything else you need you should be able to obtain eaisily at stores, etc (depending on if you're going bush or staying in the citys!)

Some places would definitely take you for 6 months. Particularly companies like Delaware North that do catering and functions at the sporting venues, which are often seasonal (e.g. football season, tennis, cricket, concerts, etc.). Many restaurants hire staff casually too and they often leave after a few months so I think you should have no problems there.

Look up the organization on the internet. Ask around the school because other kids might have been invited to. Ask their parents what they think of exchange students and if they are letting their kids go. Talk to the principal of the school and see what he thinks of the program. Since, it is a short trip the might stay at a hotel. Most of the time, for exchange students they stay with host families who have kids the same age as them. Most of the time, the host families are responsible, but if they aren't staying with host families they will be staying at a hotel and there will be chaperones. Our school does an exchange student program, bringing kids from Hong Kong, China, Germany, and other countries all over the world. Well, if you have any more questions...feel free to contact me.

Hi everyone, I'm a university student who just arrived in Australia and I'm searching for a cheap and high download limit internet service provider.

Right now I'm considering Unwired's portable modem and 3's broadband card. Any other mobile options to consider? What plan should I choose if I pick any of the first two options. I'll probably need 1-2 GB limit a month, with no excess fees, and a decent connection speed. THANKS! :)

I heard Optus also has some wireless plans as well. I suggest you use the service of these websites: 1. www.allphones.com.au: It is the website of Allphones stores. They deal with wide range of ISP around Austrlaia, so you can compare deals. 2. www.whirlpool.net.au: Listed all ISP in Australia with their broadband plans and cost lists. Hope this helps. Sorry cannot give you a definite answer but hope you can make your own list of comparison and become the expert when helping your fellow international students later :) I did that when I was a student as well.

There is no such thing as average. Example, I do not like meat and if you do then your cost of living is going to be higher then mine. Do you go out a lot?Have your own transport? do you plan to eat in or live on take aways. Where are you planning to live, as some suburbs have really high rents and others don't. To get a better answer you will have to give a bit more information.
2 :
A lot of money. I'm not sure how much, but if you've come here to study and you're from overseas - a LOT. I have many international students as friends and they have to pay tens of thousands every year just to live with a substitute family. Also, if you're not a citizen you basically have to pay everything full price. Public transport will be about twice the price of what Aussie citizens have to pay. Universities also charge you quite high. And the first comment is right - depending on what you do, where you live, that will affect your cost of living. If you're going to stay in the city, that will be expensive because most people living in the CBD are international students as well so everything is higher priced. I hope I didn't scare you off. Melbourne is a lovely city, I'm glad you're planning to come here to study.

most rental ( shared house ) cost around 90 to 180 dollars/per week depend on the area and condition . you will needs to spend around 100 on a ave food cost per weeks . travel would cost you 30 to 40 depend where you live . Most welfare is under 300 dollar a week so can say 300 dollar should do you a min. per week if you needs income to support yourself i do advise you to get a paid job for paying your bills if money is a urgency matter . But nothing to stop you to try thing after work hours if you really determine . At least you dont have to depend the online income to pay your bills Working online is possible but does take a bit of a training specially know how to drive the target traffic to your online business . It needs a lot of research or someone willing to show you how to start . I have researched a few possible work from home scheme that i can do while i have a few hours in my hands Some were lack of support which meant you pretty much on your own and Some i found you needs to take forever before you can make any dollars . I have discovered a home business have a fast rapid compensation plan that can generate faster income , and not months and months that built by a success team, a group of parents who work from home and the business can operate in 13 different country . you get a real time support and training online . you can seek more info from this page http://work-from-home.ws and get connect to a group of parents that is work from home via skype for their finding .

Your Assessment Level will depend on what course you want to do and the educational institution which you will be attending. Higher education (HE) (Subclass 573) is defined as a: Bachelor degree; associate degree; graduate certificate; graduate diploma; HE diploma; HE advanced diploma; masters by coursework. Vocational education and training (VET) (Subclass 572) is defined as: Certificate I, II, III, and IV; VET diploma; VET advanced diploma. It definitely won't be a Primary/Secondary course - they're for school aged children.

Going on exchange is an amazing experience! I applaud your interest in it. YFU (Youth For Understanding), AFS, and Rotary are frequently called "the big 3" when it comes to exchanges - long histories and good reputations, although a few others are making their way up that list. Please forgive my bias towards YFU - it's the one that I have direct experience with (I am a 5-time host mom and volunteer). I am gaining indirect experience by corresponding with former students. When I have asked exchange students why they chose YFU, I get the following answers: (1) YFU gave them more bang for their buck and/or (2) someone they knew and trusted recommended YFU. 95% of the fees collected by YFU go for direct program costs (airline tickets, support in hosting country, etc.). YFU has been around for almost 60 years and has learned how to make exchanges successful. If you choose another organization, please make sure that it is is listed with the Council for Standards on International Educational Travel (csiet.org). They routinely audit programs for quality. While it is possible that a good organization is not listed with them, it is less likely and I would advise doing more research on anyone that is not listed with them. YFU has semester, 3-month, and summer programs to Australia. (They also have English-speaking programs in 3 other countries (India, Ghana, and South Africa) and programs to 30+ countries that do not require previous language study.) Check out the sites below and good luck to you no matter what you choose!!

Students who are looking for a bad credit student loan should pick three schools they are most interested in, talk to the admissions office, and ask what is needed to apply in their school.A bad credit<!--student loan is payable only after the student has completed his or her education, and has started earning a certain minimum amount. You can find more information on Student Loan here, http://badcredits.awardspace.com/student-loans.htm The minimum amount that the candidate of the bad credit student loan is required to earn has also increased. Bad credit student loans are available as both secured and unsecured loans-->depending on whether you are a homeowner or not. The rate of interest to be paid on unsecured bad credit student loans is higher than that on secured bad credit student loans. This is because the secured bad credit student loans are backed by your home as a security.

How are you Scottish or Irish if you've never left America? I would go with England or Australia.
2 :
I would say, England, because it was the old america if you think about it! ****But, if you are scottish, then I would say go to either Ireland or Scotland, because then you can reconnect to your heritage!
3 :
if youre a typical american, then you should probably go to australia. i personally prefer ireland because they are the least authoritarian. britain has a lot of anti immigration sentiments, as does australia, that is why it turns me off. australia also turns me off because of how right wing it is in general, but if you are a typical american, you will be right wing, and it wont matter anyway. i have heard from british people that scottish people are friendly, but that is just their view point. whether or not an american would consider them friendly is a whole other story. i dont think any of those countries are friendly, when compared with americans. irish people seem easy to get along with. i think you will be worshipped when going to britain and ireland, just because they watch a lot of hollywood films. aussies do too, but they seem to have a lot of hate in them. you have to remember, australia is a convict colony. i has a lot of similar beginings to america.
4 :
Australians are quite friendly- albeit in a different way than Americans. Plus the weather is generally warmer and there are awesome beaches. It would be my choice. But if you want to do any traveling, then go to England. You can get to most of Europe pretty cheaply from London.
5 :
It really depends of where you're from, what you like, and your overall idea of a good time. These are all my opinions, not solid fact. Australia is sunny, lively, and HOT. You would go here if you were from Florida or California. Pros: Beautiful beaches, friendly people, very similar to American lifestyle, always something to do, very active. Cons: It can get a bit too hot sometimes, and you can get tired of the beach scene eventually. England is full of history and culture, and many of its cities are beautiful. Most people are helpful and keep to themselves. Pros: Incredible cities, nice people, great education opportunities. Cons: For the most part, England's weather is rather solemn: cloudy, foggy, and rainy are common. Scotland is similar to England, though the countryside is much prettier. Ireland is for you if you can't live without the rolling hills and grassy plains feel. My personal favorite. Pros: Very friendly and accepting people, amazing countryside, culture explosions wherever you go. Cons: Like England and Scotland, Ireland's coasts aren't the best for play. Not what I would call "nice" weather, but not as hostile as England's.

You haven't told us what country you're from, but it's true that student visa applications for students from some countries have been subject to delays caused by extensive additional checking required to identify fraudulent applications.

yes it is possible. we have lots of exchange students here coming from the US, japan, korea, england etc. for the cost of living here for three months really depends. i have a norwegian neighbor who lives across my condo unit, for the entire month of rent it costs her 30,000 per month -- all of the facilities and appliances are already in there but for the consumables it really depends on how you spend.
2 :
What I am familiar with is the Long-Term Youth Exchange. If you qualify (for example in the Rotary Youth Exchange Program), you can become an exchange student. The program is one year in the Senior year (4th year) of high school (equivalent to Grade 10 in Australia). It is required that you attend and pass the classes scheduled for the seniors as the grades will be part of your records when you return to Australia. You will be residing with a host family/ families (depending on how many volunteer families are available to be your interim family). The host club decides as to which school you will go to. Your plane fare may be covered, depending on the host club's budget. If not, that is the biggest expense that you will incur. You need not spend on food although it is advisable to bring your own money for your expenses just in case. You will be set back one year of schooling in Australia, but being an exchange student is a wonderful experience and is highly recommended.

If you only wanna stay for a few months or years( depending on visa) you need to find a job in the states and a company who is willing to help you with your visa even though everything they have to do is sending an offer of employment. Then you need to find a sponsor which you can do online. They re also going to help you with the visa application and the paper work. After you will get your immigration paper back form your sponsor you can go to the embassy and apply for the visa. If you are sure that you are willing to stay in the states for a longer time you should either think about applying for a green card at a green card lottery online. It is difficult to find employers in the states who are willing to help you with your visa because there are a lot of Americans who are able to do the job as well so in your application you should really point out your strength and experience. Then you might be able to apply for either an H- 1 Visa or an H2B which is a seasonal visa. For those types of visas it is also easier to find a job. Although the American Government tries to cancel the H2B Program but if you 'll go by next year you should be fine. Good luck with everything!!

These programs seem really good: Youth for Understanding, Intrax or Amerispan

The exchange program that I hear most about is sponsored by the Rotary club. These exchanges seem very safe and well prepared, and the only cost is plane tickets. I know several people who have had incredible experiences through Rotary. They organize summer exchanges where you live with someone in another country for a few weeks and then they visit you for a few weeks, as well as year-long programs where students stay with host families and go to high school for a year in another country. I really recommend that you look into this; it would be an unforgettable experience! More information here: http://www.rotary.org/en/StudentsAndYouth/YouthPrograms/RotaryYouthExchange/Pages/ridefault.aspx

My sister was sponsored by Rotary to America for a year, and my brother has taken in several people in australia through Rotary. But, what they do now is you only live for 3 months with a family, then you move on to another family. It is more than the cost of the ticket, your family has to agree to give you a weekly allowance to pay your expenses, things like bus fares, shampoo etc. The Rotary Exchange is very good, very safe so I would recommend it.

3 :
I think it depends on which language you're able to study in.
4 :
I would say do a little bit of research on the two different cultures. Find out what type of things in their histories you would be interested in seeing. For instance in Japan you could see some of the historical stuff regarding WWII in regards to the US (if that interests you). AIN Australia you could learn more about reefs and surfing. I don't think language is such an issue because being immersed in a culture you will quickly pick it up. Good luck and have a good time.
5 :
I believe this will depend more on the subject you plan to major in. Outsider will not be able to give you any correct answer. You know yourself best. Japan or Australia has its own specialty, and specialty core subjects. If you are looking at more technical or engineering related subjects, Japan will be it. If you are looking at business, administration, etc, then I think Australia will be more appropriate. Ultimately you make the decision for yourself, please.

If you are an American you can still apply for the FAFSA, which allows you to obtain FinAid for some over sea's universities. However, you might want to check out Australia's department of education website. http://www.dest.gov.au/sectors/international_education http://www.fafsa.ed.gov

the easiest way is to become an exchange student. that means, your home university (your university in lebanon) must have an exchange agreement in with an australian university. the exchange agreement usually means you receive credit towards your home university studies for the units you take in australia. student exchange is usually for one or two semesters (up to a year). you dont say what you want to study, so its impossible to say which foundations etc. but that is your own responsibility, anyway. studying aborad involves a lot of hard work (i know. i am overseas now) and it is no one's responsibility but your own.

my girfriend is in Australia on a student visa and she is pregnant. How much will it cost without medicare?
I have PR and have health insurance but she does not. She is from Japan and they dont seem to have a recipricol arrangement. She will likely require a C - section, any ideas on how much pregnancy and delivery will cost?

A c-section can cost anywhere from 20-50 thousand.. Depending on country and if any problems will arise.
2 :
If your the dad she should be able to be on your insurance until she gives birth. I think my whole pregnancy and labor and delivery costs were somewhere around $10,000 when all was said and done but I have insurance and only paid maybe $500-$800 of it.

You are posting on the USA board. Put your question into Travel>Australia for answers.

in Australia anywhere between 5-15K depending on complications and how long she is in hospital. It will be much cheaper if she returns to Japan for this and then return afterwards.

How much can a student earn per hour as a taxi driver in Australia?
It is important for me to get this information specifically in the city of Brisbane. it is also of significance that how much I can earn if I just work during the weekends (Saturday and Sunday). This is when a student is not a citizen of Australia.

You can't be a taxi driver if you are a student. Taxi plates are very expensive to buy (hundreds of thousands), and taxi companies employ drivers who own their own plates. Companies who employ drivers usually hire older drivers because they are reliable and can drive at night, when it's not exactly the safest job in town.
2 :
[edit - the girl above me is wrong. there are many student taxi drivers in brisbane - i started when i had just turned 20. the only requirement is an open driver's licence, which you could have as early as 20 years old. the cab companies DO NOT exclusively hire drivers who own plates - there's very few of those. i never had a major problem driving nights, but i'm a big, young guy. the thugs usually TARGET the older drivers.] i'm a former brisbane taxi driver. the work is more seasonal than you would expect. january/february is terrible, nobody goes out because money is still tight from christmas. i quit in january a few years back because it just died after december. anyway, about the money... i used to aim for $600 on the meter, which is $300 for the driver. plus tips. the most i ever made was $1000, and i pulled in over $600 for myself, but that was a biggg shift and you can't predict when you'll get lucky like that. another reason i quit is because the system is rigged... the computer rates jobs on how much they're worth, and dispatches good jobs to cars that are owned by board members. it's called being "fed", some cars are fed good work, others have to do the hard yards themselves while being stuffed around with all the small jobs left over. they'll tell you it doesn't happen, but trust me, it does, it's a fact. it's less of a problem later in the night when you rely on hails rather than the computer, then it's just pot luck. if you're prepared to drive friday and saturday night, and put up with the drunk idiots, you should make at least $500 for yourself, once you get the hang of it. it will take a while though.

tnuc_den has it pretty right. I would suggest that you ensure the following if you want to drive an Australian taxi: 1. Be legally allowed to work. I know this is an issue with illegal drivers in Melbourne and Sydney, and Brisbane too, I suspect. 2. Learn your way around. This causes headaches fro passengers a lot, especially visitors: you are expected to get around without assistance. 3. Know the ettiquette: if a customer is dissatisfied with a taxi service it is usually because the taxi (and yes, sometimes the driver) is dirty, or they don't know where they are going, or they are rude. You do not have to put up with idiot passengers and passengers do not have to put up with poor service: it is a two way thing. 4. As a student you can drive, just be sure you get paid officially, not under the counter. Taxes must be paid and recirds kept if you are to be legally covered as a driver. 5. Know the road rules. I know this stuff is pretty basic and might sound rather condescending, but taxis in out bigger cities have afairly poor reputation, and, sorry to say, especially those driven by recent immigrants and foreign students. Make sure you can do the job properly and you will find it easier.

Each of these areas of study would get you a reasonably good job after your studies. I think you go for what you are most interested in. Have you checked out the universities' websites? Both of them have split campuses - many of them in different parts of Victoria, and your location would depend on which degree you study for. Swinburne even has a campus in Malaysia. Find out the study patterns for each of the degrees and decide which one would suit you best, and how much commuting between campuses would be involved - bus, train etc. Good luck. I hope you enjoy your studies.

But I don't know anything about it. Where I will go? She is preparing herself for IELTS. After getting IELTS score what will I do? How can she get offer letter from a Sydney University? How can I know that university is good or bad? We want visa at the first attempt. So how can I proceed? What papers I will ready for herself and what paper I will ready for myself?

if u need help, please contact me at bgshakya@hotmail.com. Your spouse can apply in HM course and she is eligible.u can also apply as dependent at same time. Cost depends upon college. First u need ur academic certificates and passports to get offer letter from college.
2 :
G'day, What level of Hotel Management she wants to study? Diploma/Bachelor/Master? Does she intend to finish her BA? There are only 42 (soon to be 43) universities in Australia, all of them are fully accredited and they are tightly regulated, therefore the quality and recognition of their graduates are equal from wherever university you are studying from. The most important thing is you have to READ the course information carefully, since some courses may have the same name but different content. There are quite alot of Australian universities offering Hotel Management to international students. To find out the course that she is interested in taking and where it is offered, I suggest to go to Dept of Education, Science and Technology (http://cricos.dest.gov.au) and IDP Education Australia website (www.idp.edu.au). IDP is an organisation that gives information to international students who wants to continue their study in Australia. Once decided on the uni, fill in the application form and send it together with certified copy of her academic qualification. She can also submit her IELTS results once it becomes available. If she has been offered a place in the uni, then you guys can pay the required fees, so the uni can issue an eCOE for student visa application. Then contact Australian high-comm to lodge the student & spouse visa altogether. The staff there will tell you what documentation you will need to supply. BTW... I dun think Uni of Sydney offers Hotel Management. Yes, Uni of Sydney is one of the famous uni in Australia, as member of Group of 8 (www.go8.edu.au). But if the uni does not offer the course you want, then no point of studying there. Accommodation can be arranged from the uni of your choice. It may not be a permanent accommodation though, depending on your choice. Hope this helps. Good luck on your study and welcome to Australia :)

Because they know that he breached the conditions of his student visa, that indicates that it had been cancelled before he left Australia and probably also means that he overstayed. If he overstayed more than 28 days, he is now subject to a 3 year ban on applying for another temporary visa (i.e. like a student visa). He will have a great deal of trouble getting another student visa - it's not impossible, but will be very difficult and he'd better have a REALLY good story.

If you want a student visa for Australia, you must apply via the correct channels.

I'm an american college student and I have around 60 credits, I'm interested in moving to australia or scotland with my boyfriend and finishing college there. I couldn't find american colleges in those areas, so I'm wondering if I transferred into a college there, would I lose all my credits and have to start over?

The max credits you can count towards an american degree from an international uni is a year FT. You are asking for more than that. So you will need to apply for an Australian university and then try and apply for one year (the maximum allowed) of prior learning recognition. You will not be eligible for any student loans here and you will have to pay up front, and the higher amount. Most US loans will not pay for international study so you ned to make sure you have the money to do this.
