Awesome! Thank you so much for the detailed response Ken! Merry Christmas to you :)

Hey All, I got my PR grant in Oct 2018 and made my mandatory entry in May 2019. I plan to make the permanent move to Aus by mid 2020. The reason for the delay in my move was coz i want to save up before moving to Aus. I wanted to know if there will be any complications for me? The reason i am asking is coz my friend told me yest that he knows someone who got her PR but was living abroad and was only making a weekly visit every 6 months or so and the gov sent her an email saying that her PR will be revoked if she doesn't make the move permanently. I couldn't sleep last night thinking about this. Could someone please let me know if there is a deadline for people to make the permanent move? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Sonia

Thanks Eera. Yeah its Monash. He s already looking into those options. Just thought i would also inquire as he s short on time.

Shared accommodation with other fellow students or working professionals would be fine.

Hello all, My cousin s kid is coming to Aus to do his masters degree. His campus is located in Caulfield. Could anyone suggest any trust worthy websites where he can find an accommodation around this area? He plans to be in Aus by July 20th or so. Thank you. Regards, Sonia

Oh wow! Thank you so much for the detailed reply. Very kind of you. I will go through them and shortlist things.

Sorry, missed out to give that info. Arriving in Hobart and departing from Launceston.

Hello Skani, We are planning to be there from 23rd-28th of May. Its our first time there so we are interested to see the historic sites and do a lot of sight seeing and lil bit of adventurous things as well. I also would love to try out some local food and look forward to visiting the Salamanca market when we are there.

Hello, My sister and I are planning a 5 day trip to Tasmania next month. Could you suggest some must do places while we are there. We are planning on renting a car so its easier to go about. Any inputs would be appreciated. Thank you. Sonia

Hello Brian, I sat IELTS the first time and missed by 0.5 in the writing section. So i thought of giving PTE a shot and i scored 87 which gave me the 20 points. So i would suggest you do a thorough research on this and decide which test to sit. I think the below link can also help you. https://www.pomsinoz.com/topic/171260-ielts-vs-pearson-test-of-english-academic-pte-academic-my-personal-findings/ All the best with your exam and application.
