bossladyMo: Congrats Iriferi!

I just got my QLD sponsorship also...yay!

congrats madam.so happy for you.

bossladyMo:

Nope...you can only choose one preferred state. NSW has a low English language requirement, no additional ears of experience apart from the one required by your assessing body, and no need for funds or any commitment statement or any other bruhaha. I am yet to see someone who was rejected for NSW, and believe me, I've done a lot of research. As long as you meet the requirements and you have a Bachelor's...you are guaranteed. The only snag is they can take as long as 3months for a reply, and that is because all the ICT occupations run away from VIC to NSW...theybalways fill up their quota before half the financialbyear is gone sef, and this new year, they decided to do it in 4 batches....1000 applications per batch....you wont believe in less than 30mins, the 1000places were taken.

I believe you because i knew you did alot of research om PR. NSW is always the wish of the people living outside the state sef, because of the low unemployment rate. The city is big and full of oppourtunities but the only hinch is the high cost of living. Happy you got ur invitation. see you soon in oz

Please I got a mail asking me to apply for the skilled select 189 visa. I saw some info on diac website asking for polio clearance certificate for those from nigeria. Please what other forms do I have to submit to the case officer. Must I submit my PCC now or wait for it to be requested. Is there any body in this category. Thanks everyone .

bossladyMo: Congrats Iriferi!

You should have seen the look on my face when I saw that the 1000applications had been taken...it was like rapture! Lol. And the proximity of Sydney to regional areas like Wollongong, means you can earn the big bucks in Sydney, and spend less on housing and feeding and all, in the regional area...all you have to do is commute.

Thanks jare...

You will fill an online form once you click on the APPLY button.

You need documents to support your points breakdownand all.

I would advise you wait till case officer asks for pcc and medicals, so aa to open a line of communication between you both and also enable you know how far your application is proceeding. Although, some people front load everything, and get a direct grant without hearing from their CO.

You need to upload your polio vaccination card along with the documents I guess.

please house, anybody with any info about skilled worker migrant program of new Zealand? is it as straight forward like Australia PR program.

thanks

fame12k: please house, anybody with any info about skilled worker migrant program of new Zealand? is it as straight forward like Australia PR program.

Both migrant programs are similar, but with a slight difference. For NZ, you pay to submit an EOI. You should visit immigration NZ website.

bossladyMo:

And for NZ PR, your EOI is valid for only 6 months. Plus the higher your score on the points scale, the higher your chances of being invited. Unlike Oz where 60 points is all you need...

Hi. I don't understand what you mean by season, in question 1...kindly expantiate.

NSW is a state in Aus....New South Wales (capital: Sydney)

Your occupation is available on the SOL, means you can go for 189 if you have enough points. It is also available for regional sponsorship (489) in NSW.

You can check seek.com.au for job availability in Aus generally (if going for 189), or in regional NSW (if going for 489).

But note that you need to assess with EA, so contact gogochocolate to put you through, as he just assessed positive.

Ministries are moving; and congratulations to LadyBoss and and Iriferi

i mean just like usa and canada (general visa) thread that has part 1, 2, 3, up to 6.

-Pls what is "EA"?
-Pls if there is a way you can help me to meet him online (on this thread: gogochocolate - it will help me greatly since he has passed tru it) kindly help me out.
Sorry for asking too much questions.
Thanks for ur kind reply to me(who is picking 1 or 2 info from dis thread).

189 is the independent application. It allows you to live anywhere in Aus. 190 needs state sponsorship, and you must live there for 2yrs. 489 is regional state sponsorship. It is a provisional visa, and allows you to compulsorily live and work in a regional area, then apply for pr (887) after 2yrs living and working 1yr. More detailed info is available on the immi website...just search for each of the visas.

EA is engineers australia.

Scro back a few pages...he posted something. You can PM him from there.

There is only one thread for this...no part 1 2 or 3.

Engineers Australia is the body responsible for assessing engineers. You must submit three career demonstration report detailing 3 projects or engineering activities and clearly state your roles. You can download a detailed skilled assessment booklet from their site

@gogochocolate;please what about their fees for assessment and the general format for me as a civil engineer with 5 year's working experience in Geotechnical and Structural Engineering in a consulting firm?

Good afternoon sir, i was directed by madam boss lady bo to contact u as regards ur application (189).Sir i would like u to give me a detailed process u took (documents and fees) when u applied and to this stage.if there are relevant documents u used,i would also like to have them.
Though it may look like a very big work i gave u, but do take ur time to reply my humble request(either on this thread for future members or to my mail).
Thanks in anticipation of ur humble reply to my question.

Sorry about tardy response. Things have been pretty busy here and i just got a good job offer here in Naija that I had to turn down because I'm leaving for Oz in a few months and need to be there before May to validate or else my PR gets cancelled . It was rather painful to make the decision to turn down the offer but I believe I can do better in Oz eventually. Enough of my sob story! I agree with all Manmeta has said. I went through the state sponsorship route as Recruitment Consultants aren't in such high demand sadly .

You need to first sort out your IELTS and once the result comes out, you can figure out how much points you get from there (8 in all bands will give you a total of 20 points). Skill Assessment for me was done through VETASSESS and i was asked for my transcript (I only used my masters degree from Oz as the first degree in naija wasn't in a relevant field) and a statement of service from my employer in Oz at that time- For assessment in my field they require at least one year RELEVANT work experience. Please note that this experience can be either offshore or onshore so if you can ask your employers in Nigeria or wherever for reference please do so. What i submitted for ACT state sponsorship was:

Completed application form
IELTS result
Skills Assessment
CV
Letter of Commitment
Declaration of available funds (they won't ask for your bank acct details though)
Reference letter from previous employer - if any
$300 fee (Aussies like their dollar )

The state sponsorship application took approximately one month and I received an automatic invite to apply for a 190 visa after the approval from the state . For my 190 visa application, i submitted:

IELTS
Skills Assessment
Passport Bio data page
Birth Certificate
Naija and Australian Police Clearance
Form 90 Character Assessment form (It has a million questions so you have to answer carefully - i obviously exaggerate about the million)
Transcripts from Bachelors and Masters
Statement of service from three of my employers to support my claims on work points both here in Naija and in Oz

If i remember any other thing, I will add it later ! I need to make something very CLEAR, if you are claiming points on education and have a masters degree or a bachelors degree or both, please make sure you endeavor to get these qualifications assessed (both masters and bachelors), either by your occupation's assessment body or VETASSESS and they can assess your bachelors degree as equivalent to an Australian Bachelor's degree or higher. Also do not claim points on any work experience you cannot get evidence for. Evidence can be in form of reference letters, bank statements, payslips or tax returns.

All the best! I need to return to consoling myself about the offer i just rejected

Hi, I know it's been over a year, but I'd like to get some light over this if possible

I have applied to vetasses, still in the process of notarizing and getting relevant documents together . Apparently I have a 30 day window to do that.

I have changed employment 3 times in the last 8 years, including my nysc. one of them is also less than 6months duration. I have included all this in my cv, however, getting letters and payslips from the previous 2 is kinda difficult. The letter I got from my nysc pls was a lazy one, although I got one from my supervisor, but not on a letterhead. Do you know if I can scan both as 1 document and maybe have a cover letter would be sufficient? About the payslips from this employer, I think it will be a case of chasing shadows.

as pa the second employer (less than 6 month), I'm still on their case, while my 30 day window is fast winding down.... Do I just forget abt them, since vetasses says they would only evaluate employment more than 6 mo nths .

I can get all the necessary docs from my present employer, payslip, loe, work reference etc, although I think payslip and referee letter would suffice.

Pls kindly advise. I still have some more questions....

Obrigado

^^^ For your previous employments, use a statutory declaration and notarize it at a notary public or court. In lieu of the payslip, you can use your bank statement showing that your salary was paid during the period of employment.


You may need to review the NYSC you included as employment, did you perform a job task relevant to the occupation you chose?

My brother I visited engineers australia and downloaded the skilled assessment booklet which showed various assessment options. One for those with sydney accord certificate mainly those that schooled in western world and those outside sydney accord. The fee is 685 aud for standard assessment and 885 optional for employment assessment. For details of requirement you can visit their website. The documents required are notarized transcripts, degree certificates. There is a checklist to guide you.

For employment reference, a statutory declaration of employment is allowed in a situation where you can't get letter of reference from an old employer. The statutory declaration will simply contain what the employment reference should contain but with additional information on why you can't get the reference from the previous employers. If you can get your supervisor/direct boss to sign on the statutory declaration to add credence.

When you were working in your previous places, did they pay your monthly salary to bank or paid on table (cash)?

If they paid to bank, just print the bank statement for the periods you work there, it should suffice for payslip.
