Winter is coming

Many states have either closed their state nomination programs or restricted them significantly - examples include Queensland, Western Australia and ACT. Others have reached quotas for popular occupations.
Most states will restart their state migration plans from July. For some states, ACT and South Australia in particular, many occupations fill very quickly after the program reopens. Applicants should make sure that they are ready to lodge for state nomination as soon as possible after they reopen to avoid disappointment.

@ Chebyshev. Thanks for the clarification.

I hope VETASSES doesn't have such kind of criterion o

@ cassareknow
First of all, go through the first five pages of this thread and then you can present tailored questions if you have any.

Meanwhile, what was your role at the Telecoms company and for how long? Also what's your current role with the federal government?

How?? I just want it simple that way. No talking about state or suburb on nairaland. That is why I said holla so we talk somewhere else cos I am still aware that this is public.

Ok folks,

Been itching to come around and drop my memoir. It's been quite a while isn't it? Will be 2 months old in Sydney, Australia in a few days time. I missed you guys no be small

Same same story with medicare, centrelink and Tax file number. Tyosho did justice to those already.

Well, as planned, we hit the Aussie's ground running. Got white card within 3 days of arrival and a forklift license within 2 weeks. On the side I kept applying for the pro job. I got a Forklift job immediately I got the license and the pay wasn't bad for someone who just arrived. Turns out if you want to get a job on time, you do not only push out your CV but also call the advertising agencies to follow up on your application. More often than not, I got to secure interviews with recruiters I called up after applications.

Accomodation is story for another day, but in the end, God win and devil lost...lolzz. I'll advise those coming to start hunting as soon as they arrive so they don't fall under intense pressure like I did to get a place. It's not mere gainsaying that you must come with enough money so you can get what you want without sweat. Real estate agents give preference to people with:

1. Good rental history (sorry, your Akowonjo or Okokomaiko rent does not count)
2. Enough payslips to show you have a job (so for house rent sake, don't mind picking up any ok job as soon as u land as the payslip will work wonders for u)
3. Fat account balance (like one month of average wage sha)

House rent in Sydney is not cheap, but at the same time, it's all about location and individual preferences. So it's hard to a 1 bedder goes for this or a 2 bedder goes for that. But all I can say is that, Sydney hourly rates will definitely pay your bills if you are not lazy or unnecessarily choosy.

Agents usually organise general inspections for properties they are letting out. Na there you go see crowd wey come check house. There is a tendency for you to lose the house to some other people who have better credentials than you do (JJC). The secret here is to call the agents ahead of the inspection days and request for a private look and feel of the place not forgetting to mention how serious you are in getting the place. At least, that's how I eventually got my place after more than 3 weeks of fruitless house hunt.

It's good to get a car for job and domestic purposes. But I advise you get from a dealership where you can cause trouble if your car coughs.
The story about getting a car for job purposes is not one size fits all. Within 2 months I have worked in 3 places, 2 of which requires a car.

I failed my first driving license test (didn't have time to prepare for it well, was busy making money...lolzz and looking for house too sha). You must be more than prepared to leave behind you the insanity of Lagos driving and become a born again driver. Use a drivign instructor ahead of your test and pay attention to traffic signs and other details. Enjoy your 3 months of naija license while it lasts.

Happy to say I'm on my first professional job and I have every reason to be thankful to God and to friends that helped make my journey so far as smooth as possible: Bellong, Ibiyemiara, Iceberg54 and Bnimz.

Now that I'm settling down better than ever, I hope to be here on the forum make we dey gist like before.

Love you guys!!!!

bros can i ask you some questions..
would appreciate

If we manage leave Nigeria we will know that we have been in hell. Jejeje dey obey d rule of d land and leave ur peaceful life jejeje for Ausie. So how is the. experience so far, the weather , food and the mortgage system how are they like?

Thanks for your kind words, it has only been 8 weeks, so to come here forming 'omo onile' would be fraudulent. So far, it has been cold. Not UK, or Canada cold. The lowest we've seen in Sydney since we arrived is around 12 degrees. From the news, Melbourne and Canberra have seen worse. I hear summer can be Sokoto hot (we never experience am sha).

Food. Maybe, because lots of Asians reside here, you get to see lots of food stuff that is familiar with ours like rice, beans (white), potatoes, choice fruits like apples, oranges, bananas, pineapples and vegetables like lettuce, cabbage, cucumber (not sure but I think I caught a glimpse of ewedu in an Indian store). Surprisingly, plantain and yam dey, but not everywhere. Chicken is the cheapest meat around. There are few African shops selling stuff like Palm oil, garri, etc though expensive.

Can't say much about the mortgage system, but I know it's unlike naija wey banks go give only politicians and some selected few others mortgage loan. Everyone with a valid and regular source of income has a fair chance.

Life is not all bread and butter to be honest, but it's not a hard nut to crack too. I hope to see your body reunite with your spirit soon.

Cheers

@Mijac, I PM you since last week but yet to see your reply

Thanks Bnimz,but what if I don't want to suspend the application till the baby is born?

To the best of my knowledge, you actually have to apply before your 60 days are up,,, then suspend the application till the baby is born... At which point, you'll add the baby to the application
