Myth 1: “Australia doesn’t accept many African students.”

❌ False!

Each year, thousands of African students — from Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, and beyond — successfully receive Australian student visas.

According to the Australian Department of Home Affairs, African enrolments in Australian institutions have grown steadily, especially in nursing, IT, business, and engineering programs.

✅ Fact: What matters isn’t your nationality, but the quality of your application — your genuine intent to study, financial capacity, and course alignment.

Myth 2: “You need an agent to get a visa approval.”

❌ Not entirely true.

You can apply for an Australian visa yourself if you meet the requirements and understand the process. However…

✅ Fact: Most applicants prefer working with a certified migration agency like Afrovo because:

• Regulations and policies change frequently

• Professional agents help you avoid costly errors

• They ensure compliance with visa laws

• They improve your documentation quality and timing

In short: A good agent doesn’t just apply for you — they strategize your success.

Myth 3: “You can’t work while studying in Australia.”

❌ Wrong.

International students are allowed to work while studying, though there are limits.

✅ Fact:

• You can work up to 48 hours per fortnight during study periods.

• You can work unlimited hours during breaks.

Many African students use this to gain valuable work experience and support their living costs — legally.

Myth 4: “Getting a visa is all about luck.”

❌ Completely false.

Visas are not random draws.
They’re granted based on evidence, documentation, and compliance with immigration laws.

✅ Fact:
If your Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) statement, financial documents, and academic alignment are strong, your approval chances are high — regardless of luck.

At Afrovo, we guide you to position your application for success based on data, not chance.

Myth 5: “Once you finish studying, you must leave immediately.”

❌ Not true.

Australia offers generous post-study work rights for international students.

✅ Fact:
Graduates can apply for the Temporary Graduate Visa (Subclass 485) — which allows them to stay and work in Australia for 2–4 years (or longer in regional areas).

This period is often a launchpad for permanent residency (PR) or employer sponsorship.

Myth 6: “You need to be rich to study or migrate.”

❌ False again.

Yes, studying abroad requires financial preparation — but it doesn’t mean only the wealthy can go.

✅ Fact:
With proper planning, scholarships, part-time work, and smart budgeting, studying in Australia can be affordable.

Afrovo helps you choose cost-effective courses and cities that match your financial goals.

Myth 7: “Skilled migration is only for people in tech or engineering.”

❌ Incorrect.

Australia’s Skilled Occupation List (SOL) includes hundreds of professions — from healthcare, education, and agriculture to business, design, and trades.

✅ Fact:
If your qualifications, experience, and English proficiency align with an in-demand occupation, you could qualify for skilled migration, even if you’re not in tech.

Example: Nurses, teachers, chefs, and accountants are among the most in-demand migrants today.

Myth 8: “If someone else was denied, I’ll be denied too.”

❌ Absolutely not.

Each visa application is unique and evaluated on individual merit.

✅ Fact:
One person’s rejection doesn’t determine yours — maybe their documents were incomplete or didn’t meet GTE standards.

At Afrovo, we analyze your situation individually, fix weaknesses, and position your profile strategically for approval.

Myth 9: “Migration to Australia is closed.”

❌ Nope.

Australia’s migration system is very active — and even expanding.

✅ Fact:
The government continues to invite skilled workers and students to fill labor shortages.
Recent policy updates even favor regional migration and critical skills from international graduates.

Translation: Opportunities still exist — if you’re properly guided.

Myth 10: “Once you get a visa, you’re on your own.”

❌ Wrong again.

Your journey doesn’t end with visa approval — it’s just beginning.

✅ Fact:
A great migration agency supports you after arrival — helping you with:

• Accommodation

• Job search guidance

• Networking

• Community integration

Afrovo stays with you beyond the paperwork — ensuring your success story continues after landing.

In today’s world, misinformation is one of the biggest barriers to African students and professionals who want to build global lives.
