For as much as your undergraduate degree is obtained in Nigeria, you must do your CDR whether you're claiming points for employment or not. This is because the Migration Skills Assessment (MSA) is primarily based on your undergraduate degree.

Also, I don't think you can assess your employment skills without assessing your educational qualifications. The reverse is only possible; i.e. you can assess your education without assessing work skills but NOT vice-versa.

Finally, though the MSA is based on first degree, Engineers Australia (EA) requires information and evidence of all further learning. Your MSC is assessed in combination with your first degree at no extra cost. Extra cost is applied only when assessing a PhD. To be clear, you don't have to assess both of your degrees, what's important is your BSC. But you don't lose anything in submitting both for assessment since it's done at the same fee. Personally, I feel your MSC will be an added advantage. Besides, you'll stilly list it in your Continuing Professional Development (CPD) if applicable.

Best Wishes

Good morning Gurus,

After using the skilled migration calculator, i only have 50 points which 60 is the minimum i guess... What can I do?

What's the minimum work experience i need for the skill migration.? I have just one year of experience... I hope BSc Microbiology

Is there any assessment body that assess one results before applying for the skilled migration.?

Abeg what's the meaning of CDR please..

Please tell me as much as i need to know Guru, wanted putting in for student visa before but the Sch fee is too high... What do you advise?

Hi,

please post your question on the thread below to get a better response from more experienced members.

https://www.nairaland.com/3053069/general-guide-australian-permanent-resident

The thread provides a complete guide to the process of applying.

It also boasts of active members who respond to confusing questions you face.

You'd need to state how you arrived at 50 points before anyone can suggest other options.

Yes, there are assessment bodies that must assess your qualification before you can use it for the skilled migration.
But I'm not sure which one assesses Microbiology.
So, you'd have to visit the thread above and ask there.

CDR means Competency Demonstration Report.

Cheers!

I was once a student. The stress of trying to stay back after studies is no joke. I wouldn't wish it on my enemy. Why would you want to pay thousands of dollars for studies if you can go the PR route?

I don't know how many times I have said this "Many employers do not really care for Masters/Phd, e.t.c here. They are all about experience. What you have done work/job wise. I was very interested in public health/infectious disease and did a masters degree at a University in Perth. Believe me when I say that I have never used my Masters degree to find work. My experience(s) so far have sufficed.

The government is changing immigration rules. You and I do not know what rules will change before you finish your course.

If you have the experience, try the PR route and then do your masters when you get here. As a PR you've secured your stay whether you find a job after studies or not plus the school fees will be a lot cheaper

Good Luck


So what are you advising someone like me boss. I have BSc in Microbiology and i intend to pursue Msc in Infectious diseases, Microbiology, Biomedical science or Biotechnology... Should i just move in for the Msc, i hope my program is on the Australian skills list.

Or do you advise I find my way through the skilled migration. I have no experience except my undergraduate Siwes and 1yr NYSC at a university mcb lab. I have TOEFL result less than 90.

Please advise me accordingly boss.

Thanks in anticipation

Hi mate,

sorry once again I can't help in your inquiry.

My knowledge is limited which is why I advised you post your questions on the General Guide to Australia PR thread where more experienced members can respond to you adequately.

I don't know specific information for Biotech or Microbio.

Cheers!

Good morning Wellendowed ,

Please I need information on Queensland regional area to move to. I just submitted my 489 visa application so I need to start looking for area that my family can settle in easily and get a job.

Any job is not bad as hubby is already looking at getting white card for forklift once we relocate or any other

We are looking at sunshine coast and Toowoomba I heard toowoomba has more job than SC, I also read about cairn but I got mixed fillings about google right up.

Can you and ideamaster be kind enough to brief more about Queensland regional area and what we should know before moving.

Before I forget I assessed as insurance agent but not going to practice with a lot of customer service experience and hubby is a sales coordinator.

Anything to start life is what we need.

Hi guys, am thinking if migrating to Australia, i have an Msc degree in Telecommunications Engineering (from a UK UNI), and am wondering is if Australia would be a nice place to move to.

I would like to know if they are racists to blacks
if there are ample opportunities to work in
if the standard of living is comparable to the UK.


thanks guys
4 reasons why Australia (From gathered information) I think is better than UK (studied there for 18 months).

1. The minimum wage equivalence in Australia is higher
2. The UK/EU white collar job rule against Non-EU/EEA does not apply to Australia.
3. Equal opportunities regardless of your skin colour and if you are qualified, you get the job.
4. The weather is relatively better than UK.
5. Wide variety of flexible immigration rule compared to UK
6. Moral and business ethics might be better, not sure of this though
7. Large variety of opportunities, if you are an Engineer, and you decide to migrate based on that ground, you can get permanent residence from Nigeria. It is that bad or good, I dont even know which is suitable...Lols grin

In the 7 reasons lies some of your answers

Honestly, someone that has lived in both could correct me in areas where i am wrong.

Similarities.

1. Crime rate is low
2. Security is guaranteed
3. They are as diversified in terms of culture if not more than UK.

I think Australia is better than UK, a comparable country would be Canada.

Please check in between your question. I am not trying to discourage reading, I am just idle and wanted to receive corrections because I have juts done a mock test for my study of the thread (PR thread) for a week. I am implying I stand to be corrected with my answer. In addy, some of us are naturally lazy to read,no offense, if that is the case. The questionnaire can make do with a straight to the point answer.

Good points there, good &quality educational system, availability of Jobs &easy life are some of the side attractions, I had wanted to migrate to Australia for my Msc, but fees was on a high side, God knows how I love this BIG Country, city of Perth my preferred city of residence.

Sorry! Apart from going there as student, do you know How much will it cost me to migrate? Please an estimated cost in Naira
Thanks.
