FAQs

Most university application systems (these are secure systems made for agents, like OzTREKK) require the applicant’s passport number. A copy of your passport photo page is submitted with your application(s) as an integrity measure to ensure you’re a genuine student and that the information provided is accurate.

If you are required to attend an interview, the interviewer will compare your passport photo to your image on the screen or at an in-person interview.

If you receive an offer and accept, your Confirmation of Enrolment will be electronically linked to your passport, enabling you to apply for a student visa.

The NMBA now requires nursing applicants to confirm they have completed at least 6 years of primary and secondary education taught and assessed in English in one of the recognized countries (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Republic of Ireland, South Africa, United Kingdom, United States of America), including at least 2 years between Grades 7 and 12; or that you have successfully completed an English Language test.

Before sending us outlines, check to see if we’ve already got them. We can save you a lot of time and ensure we’re submitting good outlines on your behalf. Outlines must be within 2 years of the time you took the course (as listed on your transcript).

To meet the prerequisite subjects, you need to have been granted the credit (passed); the grade isn’t considered in the prerequisite assessment.

Rolling admissions means the university assesses applications as they are received, or on a “first come, first served” basis. As soon as they’ve met the quota and the program is filled, they close the applications. So, for a program that has rolling admissions, the earlier you apply the better!

The majority of Canadians applying to full-degree programs in Australia (i.e., not study abroad courses, which usually only last a semester or two) apply through OzTREKK. They’re studying medicine, dentistry, law, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, etc.

Since they’re using OzTREKK’s services, this gives us a good idea of the starting point of a competitive application each year, allowing our admissions officers to help you determine which universities/programs are most likely to present you with a letter of offer!

You can get started on determining your chances by reviewing the admissions requirements on each program page. Then, visit our GPA Conversions and Eligibility pages for details and suggestions to help you get into the program of your dreams. Of course, OzTREKK is always here to help if you have questions.

OzTREKK has had a working relationship with CaRMs for more than a decade, and each year we use their R-1 match overview data to update our medical licensing presentation, compiling their statistics about the match rate in Australia and residency spots open for international medical graduates.

Australia is world-renowned for its leading-edge physiotherapy research and practice. OzTREKK partners with 7 physiotherapy programs, all of which are highly sought after by Canadian university graduates with academic backgrounds in kinesiology, health sciences, and human kinetics.

Start by reviewing each physiotherapy program’s description. If you’re wondering if you’re eligible—and if you’re competitive—start by sending your university transcripts to us at physio@oztrekk.com. Together, we can cut right through to your best options.

That’s a loaded question—but also nearly impossible to answer since each medical school’s admissions requirements vary. Some look for extensive interest in rural medicine, some are famous for their research.

Unlike in Canada, GPAs in Australia are simple. They are standardized, so they mean the same thing to everyone.

In Australia, a 5.0 / 7.0 would roughly translate to a 2.7 / 4.0 or approximately 70% – 72%, but keep in mind all universities assess slightly differently.
