Do I need to take TOEFL test to apply to Canadian university even though I am university student in Australia?
I am from Iran and migrated to Australia. English is not my language even though I am studying in the university there. I didn't take any TOEL tests. Now I want to apply for university in Canada. Do I need to have TOEF test prior to my acceptance in university there?

I think that you will have to yes - as English is not your first language - the test has recently changed too, so get the latest package if you want to revise for it.
2 :
Better address this question to your prospective university.
3 :
yes u do.
4 :
It depends on the university. Will you be trying to transfer or are you trying to pursue another degree after graduating in Australia? Some universities will not require TOEFL scores from applicants who have a Bachelors degree from an English speaking country - in your case Australia, however other universities may require TOEFL scores regardless of your previous education and background. Contact the Canadian university's admissions office or review their admissions website. For further advice, please visit http://www.macquil.com
5 :
If you graduated from university in Australia and are now applying to another program - submitting your Australian grades as part of your application - then you do not need to take the TOEFL. However, if you simply took a few courses in Australia but did not complete the course of stufy (i.e. if you will be submitting grades from another, non-English institution as part of your application package), then you will need to take the TOEFL. Check the admissions website of the particular university that you are applying to, as regulations vary.
6 :
The Canadian university you are applying to will be able to clarify this for you, as it their requirement that you need to fulfil. Generally, if one has completed a full academic year in a tertiary institution where the language of instruction is English, the requirement for TOEFL, IELTS or any other English language test is removed. Your current Australian university will be able to provide you with a letter to this effect, but the final decision still lies with the University you are applying to.

what is it like to go to Australia as a student ambassador, is the plane ride scary?
what is it like to go to Australia as a student ambassador, is the plane ride scary?
I got a letter in the mail saying that I might get to go Australia. I know I have to get about five thousand dollars, and I'm really excited to go. I am afraid of heights though and wanted to know about riding on a plane for the first time. I would also like to know about what you do and what it's like in a different country? Please answer my question and thanks!

About the plane, I'm afraid of heights but planes don't bother me. Fear of planes is it's own phobia. Only the takeoff and landing is turbulent (bumpy) unless your flying in a storm. Then be prepared for a kinda rough ride. It's all normal though, just pockets of warmer air that is less dense because of its temperature and causes the plane to drop a few feet and the pilot to react by regaining the altitude and sometimes increasing power. The higher you are the smoother it is because the pockets of warm air have time to cool as they rise. These pockets come from skyscrapers and roads, so flying over the ocean is really smooth. Landing is rougher if there are crosswinds. But usually it's only a minute or so after takeoff and about 10 minutes while decreasing altitude to land that is bumpy and can get scary. That's why they tell you to sit, put your seatbelt on, and seatback forward. If they do this mid-flight don't panic, it's because the pilot feels it's too turbulent to be walking around.

My first plan ride was when i was in grade six and its not that scary. The only thing scary are the toilets lol They make this really big whooshing sound when you flush it and i tried not to use it =D The only thing i hate was that my ears would get blocked when we left off and landed, so i had to yawn a lot and gum didn't help. It's really boring soo take a book or your ipod or something fun and if your seated in the aisle try not to sleep that way coz the flight attendants with the trolley kept hitting me. OW Enough about the planes and onto Australia. Australia is one of the greatest countries ever except if your going soon we do have to take shorter showers and not to waste as much water as possible because all the water was drying out but not anymore sorta. In Australia cars drive on the left side! Important if you don't want to get hit by a car. We use a lot of Aussie slang and the people i know are really sarcastic. Its exciting being in another country but its also scary. If your going to the bush its beautiful but scary and the city is exactly the same. Most of the people are great but like any other country there are good and bad people and places. I suggest you go to the gold coast, near brisbane, it has a lot of theme parks that are safe like Dreamworld, White water world, Wet 'n' Wild, Movie World etc Their good coz they are only a short distance from each other. Erm i havn't really explored Australia but i have been to the Sydney harbour bridge. Get a tour guide or something =] Hopefully if you do go there you can understand the accent and some of the words. Btw where are you from?

Check with the school or school system you are currently attending. If they don't have an exchange program with a school/school system in Australia then check with your state's Department of Education.

Which bank is better for an overseas student in Australia?
Which bank is better for an overseas student in Australia?
I am wondering if someone can tell me if Commonwealth or National Bank in Australia is better than the other? I've been doing some research online and they look similar in terms of what they offer. I was told that Commonwealth has to mail my atm card to me and will not let me pick up my card from the bank directly, which I don't really like. Does anyone know anything about National? Which one would you suggest? and why? I will be in Melbourne. What are some of the smaller banks you speak of?
Melbourne - 4 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
They are all very similar and will offer you similar benefits - security is the key and how each bank manages this for you is important. Cards are normally sent to you as part of their security control.
2 :
I personally wouldn't bank with any of the 'big four'. All of Australia's banks are absolutely safe so that isn't anything you need to be concerned about and you'll find that the smaller banks have more personal and better service and generally offer better fees and conditions so make sure you include them in your comparison. Most of the smaller banks have more branches and ATMs in one or two states - what state will you be in? EDIT: The Bendigo Bank (which is also allied with Suncorp) would be worth looking at and so would the Bank of Queensland which has a good presence in Melbourne and its suburbs and a very large number of ATMs. At the BofQ, if your ATM card dies, you can go into any branch and get a new one over the counter and you can also get statements over the counter for no charge - try doing that at one of the big 4.
3 :
All of the big four, ANZ, Commonwealth, Westpac and NAB are very similar. Pick the one with ATMs or a branch close to where you will be living and/or studying. All universities have bank branches within them so find out which are available where you are. The big four have ATMs everywhere. You can use your card in any ATM but it will cost you at least $2 to use one that is not your bank's. The smaller banks are fine for some people but they would really be unsuitable for an overseas student here.
4 :
If you are dealing with overseas foreign electronic transfers, choose Bendigo. My experience with NAB is they have been obstructionist and intrusive, asking unnecessary questions and on one occesion actually losing a transfer. Commonwealth, especially in the inner suburbs are good, but they do post cards and that seems to be no problem. It is to establish that you live where you claim to live. Westpac are not so hot either. The smaller community banks really go the extra mile and they are pleasant to deal with. They have permanent staff, so you get to know who you are dealing with.

you can only work 20 hours per week while studying but when school is on holidays you may work full time
2 :
You can work for up to 20 hours per week while your course is in session - a week is 7 days beginning on Monday and finishing on the following Sunday. You can work unlinited hours during official course breaks (vacations). You cannot do any work until your course begins. The department considers your course to be 'in session': • for the duration of the advertised semesters (including periods when exams are being held) • if you have completed your studies and your Confirmation of Enrolment is still in effect • if you are undertaking another course, during a break from your main course and the points will be credited to your main course.
