mrnilobrawn: Hello all..
Please I ur advices.
I currently have HND in Chemical Engr. I hv been accepted for admission at tafe sa for certificate III in mining and applied geoscience (two yrs progrm).

I have also been admited in canada for masters in chemical Engr.

Both are approx same cost but different qualifications.

I dont know which to go for expecial interms of visa processing, easy to get a job, wOrking while studying, PR, settlement etc.

Please your contributions will b highly appreciated.

@MrNiloBrawn,
The system in both countries are similar, this is how it works in both countries: Study------>Post study visa ------>Permanent Residency.

Please go through this link to understand how the Canadian System work: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/work-postgrad.asp

I would have advised Canada since you will be going for Masters degree, therefore moving ahead. Coming to Australia means starting all over again.

However, it may be easier for you to get a visa to Australia than Canada.

Australia is aggressively sucking migrants in, more than 190,000 migration places planned for 2014-15 alone: http://www.immi.gov.au/media/fact-sheets/20planning.htm

While Canada has a cap of 25,000 places within the same period: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-who.asp

In the end it is all about numbers, Australia has 8X more spaces than Canada

Based on the stats above, I believe you have a better chance of getting PR in Australia.

lovelydamsel: Please do I have to write this "IELT" (not sure if I spelt it correctly)exams before I apply to a school in australia?

FutureDon:

Majority of the Universities waive it for Nigerians. So you won't even need it in most cases.

badenugba: DIBP to start accepting TOEFL for skilled immigration as from Nov 2014,
How true is this news?

equlibrium:

TOEFL too na exam na.
wats d diff if its ielts or toefl dem require?

bossladyMo: 70 is a good score for engineering occupations. I really can't say what engineers australia will equate your qualifications too.

What is your nominated occupation?

charles316:


civil engineering

bossladyMo:

You will need your qualifications equated to a Bachelor's. I think Manmeta assessed with Engineers Aus...he should be able to advise you better. I'm more of VETASSESS.

bossladyMo:

It's a good thing to have choices. One can register for both simultaneously, and the way TOEFL is structured might suit some people more.

lovelydamsel: Please who is going to victoria university melbourne and just applied?

mrnilobrawn: Hello all..
Please I ur advices.
I currently have HND in Chemical Engr. I hv been accepted for admission at tafe sa for certificate III in mining (1 semester) and diploma in applied geoscience (3 semesters). Would the embassy see this as going for a lower qualification by refusing visa?

I have also been admited in canada for masters in chemical Engr.

Both are approx same cost but different qualifications.

I dont know which to go for expecial interms of visa processing, easy to get a job, wOrking while studying, PR, settlement etc.



Please your contributions will b highly appreciated.

I will advise you to go for Msc in Canada. You stand a better chance of getting your PR over there after your postgraduate visa. Postgraduate visa is not applicable to any programme less than 2yrs at least at undergraduate level in Australia.

charles316:

Is 70 a good score? what will the assessing body equate my HND+pgd to? Australian Diploma?

aolatunde00:

madam what occupation were you assessed for by VETASSESS?

equlibrium:
pulln ur legs lady. U dey try frm my corner wey I perch dey sight u

NNBB2012:

You are right! It is equivalent to Australian Advanced Diploma, which will earn you 10points for the purpose of migration. You will still get positive assessment provided that your nominated occupation on the SOL list minimum requirement is Advanced Diploma, otherwise, you will get negative assessment.

lovelydamsel: Lols there's the sponsorship section.I filled in my parents name but that document upload I don't know what to upload there.'M trying to fill their form.please do I have to upload anything there since its my parents that are sponsoring me?

In short eh I have plenty questions about australia.

bossladyMo:

U no tell me sey u be bird na hehe

FutureDon:

Perhaps, they are referring to sponsorship letters from people who already has some sort of award/funding from an external body. I believe you should be able to skip that part.

Ask your questions, people are generally nice on this thread.
