Hey malkinburg. I'm interested in the 6months course in Perth. Could you tell me the name of the institution/organisation and possibly their website to check out the details. Thlanks.

sammywemmy:
@malkinburg, thanks for the response. Pls tell me more about ur masters programme (surprised it is a yrs program),& also d 6 months program. I submitted my EA CDR June 1, I am expecting d response next week. Fast track. Thanks.

malkinburg:


It will be easier to use the engineer route. I also have chemical engineering for undergrad and 10 plus experience in other roles. I did my assessment and got positive assesment as a chemical engineer despite this. I guess it depends on the quality of your CDR. Another advantage is the occupation ceiling never fills up so getting an invite is sharp sharp. I got invited with 60points just after one day of expressing my eoi. IT is too competitive

Oga Bellong and Omogeng, please help with answers:

1. What are the consequences of going for a job in other state despite been nominated by a seperate state.

No consequencies. It is a moral obligation, not a legal or a visa restriction. But you should try your best before jumping states. They will actually release you if you show you tried to get a job.

2. Is it true that the government gives some money to PR holders, if true, how much is it?

Yes the govt does You get the Family Tax Benefit A and B, Rent Assistance, Energy Assistance etc. It can be up to 700 dollars per fortnight for a family with 2 dependent kids. But it depends on your income and family circumstances.You also get Childcare Benefit and Childcare Rebate...but that is only if you kid goes to daycare and it is paid directly to the childcare centre. Other payments are after residing for 2yrs...but there is something called a Special Benefit payment that is given to new migrants faced with severe financial hardship, but haven't been here for 2yrs.

3. is it advisable to move with my family at ones or i should get in first

Move at once. Get it over with. Even if you don't get a job quickly, the govt benefits can sustain you. But remember, you only get the benefits if your kids are in Australia already.

4. What are the ways i can get a job in SA from Naija, my ANZCO is Transport company manager

I don't know about this.

Thanks .

Unemployment is very high in SA.The highest in Australia. But you can ask for a release letter if you have been unable to secure a job - usually 6mths.

So one person can fill 2 heterogeneous EOIs?
[.quote author=malkinburg post=46465165]

I am sure you will get a response this week with EA. If you have your 60points on lockdown you will indeed get your invite for 189 by June22. You can also apply for NSW (190) sponsorship with swift chances of getting selected. Make sure not to use one EOI for both because you don't know which one will come first. I used seperate EOI's and got both invitations 189 & 190. I'm running with 189 though. Asper my masters I did it in Griffith uni in queensland. Its quite flexible there and you can apply for credits for prior learning so u get advanced standing and shorten your masters from 2yrs to 1.5yrs or if you are doing the 1.5yr option you can shorten to 1yr. However u won't be elligible for post work study if you pull this stunt. Therefore the only alternative is to get the 8points with the ielts and skip the postworkstudy to PR straight, which is what I did.
If you come via PR, in my opinion, it will be useless to do a masters. You should only consider it if you get a job. Then you can run it part time. You should instead focus on getting Australian experience through internships or industry placements. No one here really cares about your grades or number of degrees but your experience.

Scanned transcript is what you need, actually. You upload it to the EA portal by yourself.

bellong:
@Nisi,

The evidence should be in writing. What they mean by not lifting website is that some just quite from webpage verbatim. Put it in your words, add that enquiries from friends encouraged you.

You can talk about the weather, it is a tropical area, you can say it is similar to what is obtainable in your country and with this, you wouldn't have issues with serious cold during winter.

Spiritualgal:
@ Bellong, Tnx for your response. I 'll run with the PTE study materials posted here. Really appreciate

Femeto:
Is the PTE A exam now #45,000.Can anyone confirm? Still asked last week and I was told #38,000

bellong:
@Yinyinola,

First be bothered about your skill assessment, once that is done with you can fill your EOI. While filling the EOI, you can add 190 as an option to 189.

To be ahead in points, try and score at least 8point in each band to give you 20points, this will put you ahead.

Spiritualgal, you are welcome.

Spiritualgal:
@ yinyinola, The gurus will soon come n ansa you.

i'm also an accounting graduate and ACCA qualified. I'm still studying for the English exam and intend applying under 189. We can work in tandem as we r in d field. As per ur question on the assessing body, I really don't know which is the fastest in d 3 but I intend using CPA.

Hello House,

Please I need some advice.

BSc Chemical Engineering
MSc Engineering Business Management
PMP certified
3 years+ working as a Project Controls Engineer (one year as a trainee)

I want to ask if I am qualified to apply under Engineering Manager category or I should apply under Professional Engineer category.

The thing is I have no work experience as a Chemical Engineer but a lot of the stuff I do at work falls under the Engineering Manager category.

I would appreciate your advice. Thanx

How long have you been practising?

The process is long but very profitable for medical practitioners. You need to pass the medical examination set by the medical board. The exam is in two stages. I think South Africa and Egypt are the only centres you can write it in Africa.

Meanwhile, there is a possible pathway for medical practitioners for those with at least three years of experience.
