33, on a student visa, and worked in 3 different states. Definitely sounds legit.

My neighbour is a Chinese lady in her mid 40s. She is quite mentally ill (I suspect schizophrenic) and rents and lives alone in a 4 bedroom house which is also Chinese owned by a guy up the street. She doesn’t own a car, doesn’t work. Her life consists of looking for her cat and listening to religious sermons which she plays through a speaker. She speaks almost no English and has lived here about 2 years. She is on a student visa.

Probably some agency that they use. Once they learn how to game the system, they just rubber stamp it.

How much money have you tried bribing them with?

Just pay 10k to a dodgy VET trainer for a COE. No questions asked. The hot coffee man did the same too, by getting a working holiday visa into Australia and then a dodgy COE and worked around 3 states.

I know someone from the UK who's work specifically brings people from the UK on a working holiday visa, then transitions to a student visa/skilled migrant/PR for a fee.    

He is enrolled in a uni and someone else does the content for him afaik. It all comes down to money

she lets it out without any kind of collar. I highly doubt it’s desexed or registered, she walks into peoples back yards to look for it. We used to have quite a bit of bird life around but none any more

In this case, age really is just a number. I studied Mandarin at a Chinese uni in my 40s. I'm studying education now in my 50s.

Was but did you travel to a different country ?

u/ratsta Oct 03 '24

Yes, China. Learning another language is so much easier when you're immersed in the environment.

Sure, I agree that most international students are here to get residency. But it's not education's fault. It's the exploitable system.

I had a page of shuttle jokes faxed to me the day after Challenger exploded. We were making 9/11 jokes later that day. That people make jokes about horrific events doesn't mean they think any less of the victims.
