You dont need to be in a country to know what is happening there. We are in a global world. I wish you best of luck madam.

Naaaaa...just your Naija license. You need to take a written test though, and then a practical test. The written test is not hard, as long as you study the material...I passed mine in one go. Also, even if your licwnse is expired, but by not more than 2yrs, you can still convert it...just that you will have to spend $130 on a learner's permit to take the test.

The sockets are different here oooo. So be ready to buy a converter adaptor...$14. Also, ensure you bring AV and RF cord for TV, just in case the house you rent does not have it. AV cord that is sold for N200 or so, is over $30 here...while the cheapest RF is $19......imagine!!!

Got a job with Telstra y'all, training starts Monday....entry level position, but still something to get my foot in the 'Australian Experience' Door.....peace!

For now, all a new migrant is entitled to is Child Care Rebate, Child Care Benefit, and Family Tax Benefit A&B.

You have to wait 2 years for the rest.

Much appreciated ferdimako. My school adopts itranscript so no delays usually. Currently waiting till June for the 9th year to be deemed skilled for 8 years. I'm aiming to claim 15 points in that category.

Where exactly are you?

Omo am happy about all the Australian gist I am hearing. This Australia sweet oo even though I never touch down. Hubby applied for a Masters in University of Melbourne, preparatory to touch down and guess what cos we have the pr , he was given a CSP ( Common wealth supported place). So he get to pay less than 9k for a course that he normally would have paid 36k dollars for.

doyen06:
Someone should please tell me the best way to migrate to Australia. I have read a lot of their work permit, how easy is it? I'm also looking at entering via a student visa but I need someone over there for some personal question before I begin the process. Please Nigerians in AU, please reply.

NNBB2012:


You stand a very good chance of getting positive assessment. You do not need to wait till June since it is the same points that both 8yrs and 9yrs of experience will fetch you; you can start the process now.

I will advise you to google the ANZCO code (ABS) of the relevant occupations on the SOL to know the one that perfectly matches your experience and qualification. You should be fine and possibly you might not need IELTS, provided that you are between 25-32 except if your assessing body requires it for assessment.

doyen06:
thanks preciousstones, do you have an idea of a good master degree course that has a good prospect of getting a permanent visa there? Anyone with info on work permit and other types of visa please reply.

chase123:
,Thanks please can you throw more light on family Tax Benefit A&B

kolawolead:
Congrats BossLady Mo,
After logging in after a while and saw a lot of congratulatory messages to you, I decided to dig far back to this post - to like, congratulate and appreciate God for his blessings. More power to your elbow, the Aussies and the system will continue to "reckon" with you lol!

PS - no update yet on sister's stuff, will keep you posted if any.

Thanks bro

Blessings!

bossladyMo:


Why don't you apply for a VETASSESS advisory service first? Takes just 10days and about 15k to get it.

nikky2015:


Thanks, thought about that too but was discouraged when i read this on VETASSESS

The Advisory Service does not provide a specific assessment of the level and relevance of your qualifications and employment to your nominated occupation.[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font][color=#990000][/color] The Advisory Service takes you through the steps to make an application for a Skills Assessment, provides information about your nominated occupation which is relevant to your application, and offers a preliminary document check to assist you with our documentary evidence requirements.

doyen06:
@preciousstones, can we private message please? I have some clarifications to make.

ewagbamio:
@all, esp, bossladymo, vcjustic, ferdimako, ubktech thanks a lot for your advice on my marriage certificate issues earlier on. i have finally done a registry wedding 2 days ago and collected the certificate (after carefully checking it ).
I also took the IELTS Academic in Benin on the 14th. The test was not as tough as i was anticipating given that i prepared in just over 2 weeks and i did not buy the official materials.

i know it is well

KIKIADE:
