Australia Skilled Independent Visa by ariyibioladokun: 10:04am On May 30, 2015 |
Hello all, I have a lot of travel plans, which the australia skilled worker is part of, officially am starting my application June 2015, and I will keep this thread posted as it progresses so that people who are interested can learn and those that have done this can guide to. I know there is a thread for australia visa but this is sorely for the independent skilled worker, I admire the canadian federal skilled worker thread, the australia is somewhat similar with little variations. This is the link www.immi.gov.au/Visas/Pages/189.aspx for read up. |
Re: Australia Skilled Independent Visa by ariyibioladokun: 10:06am On May 30, 2015 |
The first step is the English Test, I don't have one yet, but I will do one, am going to do toefl since its acceptable instead of ielts, I checked british council no space till July, so I will take ielts instead. 1 Like |

Why are u writing toefl and not lelts?pls shed more light. ariyibioladokun: |
Re: Australia Skilled Independent Visa by ariyibioladokun: 4:15pm On May 30, 2015 |
solin:I am doing toefl because of the ff reasons:- 1. Its a recognised english test in Australia. 2. I wanted to apply for ietls but the cap for Lagos British Council is full till July 2015. 3. The occupation falls under either Accountant or Auditors/ Treasurer, and they are still accepting applications so i want to the test Both tests qualify as acceptable. 1 Like |
Re: Australia Skilled Independent Visa by ariyibioladokun: 4:52pm On May 30, 2015 |
A quick summary of my starting point.- 1. Write an English Test asap. 2. Get my skills assessed by either CPA/IPA(assess accountants) or VETASSESS(they assess auditors). This is the link to check if they are still taking application for your profession http://www.immi.gov.au/Work/Pages/SkillSelect/SkillSelect.aspx 3. Then i will apply for state nomination,i will be applying to western australia This is the link to check if your occupation is still in demand http://www.migration.wa.gov.au/services/skilled-migration-wa/occupations-in-demand. I will keep this thread posted as i progress, but i will be off for a while so i can prepare for English test, if you have any question just post, i'll respond when am free. Am believing God that with faith my application will scale through. 1 Like |

Funto900:I worked as an audit officer too, the accountant has ended o! Let's do this, I have ietls test 6.5. Isn't the cost too expensive lol, I saw the estimated cost of application abt 800k, what do u feel ariyibi. |
Re: Australia Skilled Independent Visa by ariyibioladokun: 8:41pm On May 30, 2015 |
Funto900:welcome on board funto, thank goodness we are in the same profession, since u have ur english test, then you can move straight to assessment, yes the accountant intake has ended but its still available to ones nominated by territories. Which body are u picking for assessment, I want to fill for the Auditor's post, the competition will be less than General Accountant, and for the money, what av discovered is either how u intend to get PR, one will still part with money. Pls posts ur steps here so that others who want to apply for this type of visa can learn |
Re: Australia Skilled Independent Visa by Funto900: 8:59pm On May 30, 2015 |
I can feel that we will suceed in this. Okay, the assessment for auditors is www.vetassess.com.au/, while u are waiting to write english test, you can check this link www.vetassess.com.au/Skills-Assessment-for-Migration/General-Occupations/Required-Documents, its stated that english test is not needed unlike CPA, then why don't u wait for the ielts test in July, I feel toefl more central, even if its acceptable in australia, ielts is acceptable in more places, and u can use d test to do other things, but if u can't wait lol, |
Re: Australia Skilled Independent Visa by Funto900: 9:12pm On May 30, 2015 |
The assessment link is this http://www.vetassess.com.au/Skills-Assessment-for-Migration/General-Occupations, its not even hard to fit in. Thanks ariyibi, av been very lazy abt this thing, I just read it casually, its much easier when there is knowledge sharing. The assessment cost is 810aud dollars, like 120k. This thing na money but it worths it. Let me check CPA assessment fees . Can I PM you |
Re: Australia Skilled Independent Visa by ariyibioladokun: 9:18pm On May 30, 2015 |
Funto900:thanks for the info, its expensive , but its better to take a step at a time, please don't send PM, its better to share everything here so we can all learn. Will check the CPA fees too now, so if its cheaper, we can weigh the two options and den decide right? Will go tru the two thoroughly then pick one. Thanks, once again, for joining this thread, 3 Likes |

My sincere advice, please why applying for Independent PR Visa to Australia, please start looking out for opportunities. Www.seek.com.au Www.careerone.com.au Jobs are very limited in Australia now. All the best as you voyage to the best country in the world in terms of standard of living. My 2 cents 3 Likes |

Re: Australia Skilled Independent Visa by bossladymo1: 6:21am On Jun 01, 2015 |
I would advise you all toggle between this and the other Australian thread. As we have many people who have gone through the process on that thread, and who can give vital and accurate information. |

For those who want to apply for jobs, u can get ur resumes reviewed to meet the standards, so that prospective employers can understand and appreciate your experiences, I paid 1.95dollar to Live career for a 14days subscription, so I was able to pick diff designs, restructure and evaluate my resume. If you want an expert to rewrite it will cost more, so I just opt for editing my self, since there are a lot of templates for diff occupations, with the 1dollar I was able to download in pdf and word. They charge 1dollar for getting acess and 39dollars or so after 14days, so u can quickly opt out, by cancelling ur subscription (you will have to input ur card details) so cancel ur subscription to avoid any automatic debit. Success to all 1 Like |
