Please is academic IELTS computer based or the exam questions are on paper.I mean for the reading and writing part.and also is the answer sheet on paper or on the computer.
Thanks folks

bjayzeez:


the test is paper based

johnsontade:


Nobody cares if it is Nysc or not except if you decide to shoot yourself on the foot by stating it clearly in your application. Any work experience you get after studies(after the date on your Bachelor degrees certificate) can be used to gather point as long as your assessing body recognizes your qualification and sees your experience as relevant.

Hi bosslady, did you register with Australia communication workers Association in order to get your current job at the Telecommunication company in Australia

BKings:
Only certificates? Some people got a job just with statement of results, years before obtaining their certificates. Won't those work experience count?

bossladyMo:


Nope

chase123:
hi bosslady,please can you explain the process of recruitment you underwent from the Telecommunication company in Australia where you now work before you were able to get your present job there

Hello All,

Have been making research about Australia, living and surviving, geting PR after studies, etc and came accross this thread. I must say you guyz ar doing amazing job.

I hav my own delima and wil like those studying and or living in australia to profer some advices. But first;

I wish to shear my own testimony, got my visa grant last week thursday 572 advance diploma, my college is in sydney.....now my queries:

I am suporting myself in this whole quest to acquire australia education with the ultimate goal of geting PR. I hv a girl frnd we hv known each other for the past 5 yrs now..tho no family introduction on both side as at yet. I did not include her in my visa application but now she wishes to travel wit me (on her own she has roughly 1M).
I am thinkin Weda to hv a court marriage wit her so i can apply for her spouse visa... Tho stil intend to keep families out of it cox my family wont advice that right now, they will rather say go first and and worry about her leta.

My major concern is since am targetin to get PR after studies, incase am not able to get PR with post study visa probably due to changes in immigration rule, job availability etc..I might hv an option of getting married to a PR/citizen as an alternativ route (but wit her in the picture this last option is close)

Please my ppl am really confused here....should i go along with her or hav her wait till I hv residency? Wil she be of any disadvantage to me over there regards to my PR inview?

P:S We started datin from school 2010 to date. After school she moved back to her family in nasarawa where she works (waitress in an eatries) while i work live in lagos..

Am really sorry guyz for this long epistle..

How many points do you have now? U need to gather up to 60 pts even after finishing ur studies...so calculate what ur points will be after studies, her point contributions and ur English test points. I think you marry her now...do small traditional marriage and do the registry's so that u can file spousal visa. If you guys have been friends...no need to look elsewhere... build on what u have.

Hello. I see that nobody has really made an input. So as my usual blunt self I will tell you exactly how I see it. You have been dating a person for five years without both families' involvement but just in split decision time frame you are considering a court marriage?. I hope you realise that a court marriage is a document that binds ger to you and vice versa till the marriage us dissolved? Questions are:
Whose idea is the whole marriage thingy?
What's top on your priority list (marrying her or getting a PR)?
I'm not sure you love her. Cos if you do, you wouldn't even consider marrying a citizen as a means to the end (I don't mean this in a disrespectful way)
Whose original dream is it to travel to Australia and why does your girlfriend want to come with you?
But most importantly, how old are you? If your parents do not think you should be talking marriage now, then I guess you are still a young man.

Mist young men of today mix ambition with sentiment but truth is.... One has to let go of the other.

To help you make your decision I need you to ask yourself one question..... If you marry and travel with her today and 5 years from now you can't get a PR because of your marriage to her, will you regret it? If your answer is yes, the you know what to do. If no.... That's also your answer right there. Good luck

Whatever you decide to do, never marry a citizen with the sole aim of getting "Papers".

These people are not robots or machines, they are humans with emotions. Don't give false hope of marrying anyone for a selfish end. Don't turn anybody to a tool of achieving your personal ambition and later abandon them.

Except you want to marry the citizen because you want to live with her all your days, Do not follow that selfish and ungodly route.
