Adiahabasi:
Got my Ielts re-mark result earlier today. Writing upgraded from 6.5 to 7 after 10.5weeks! To God be the glory!

At last! Congratulations. Your mind would be at rest now

With the rate of remarks this season, IELTS should consider changing the Writing examiner(s).

opeyemi361:
Wow, I really love this thread, please how do I start? Thanks

Go to the beginning of this topic i.e. page 0, and read the first few pages. The basic requirements are there.

You can read through all the pages if you like

Thereafter, you can come back with specific questions, if necessary.

@Mfunkynation

Point of correction: One Ghanaian Cedi is more than N50.

It currently trades above N100. I got it @N105 for 1 Cedi just before entering Accra.

Even Stanbic charged me N126.67/Cedi when i withdrew cash on their ATM.

Oga bellong, other gurus

From your experience on this thread, which territory(ies) is/are more favorable to accountants and other finance-related occupations in terms of "state nomination"?

sshola:
Someone just spoke to me about this FSWP. I am totally new here and I need help.

I am a Teacher, 30 years old, been teaching since about 2years (post-NYSC) BT cumulatively, about 7yrs. I currently left my job for some reasons and looking to apply to this programme, how can I possibly rack up points?

How do I go about the application? It's quite unclear on the website as I was just being referred from one page to another.

Thanks for your helpful response.

Go to page 0 and take time to read through very carefully, do not be in a hurry. You can even make generous use of Google.

Then you can come back with more specific questions.

bellong:
I agree with you that VETASSES is crazy with qualification assessment of some universities in Nigeria. They have some universities they assess positive while some are negative.

I know where you are coming from, but not all universities get assessed negatively. I was assessed by VETASSES and some others, we got positive assessment with our Bachelor degree.

@bellong, other gurus: We are putting documents together so that my wife can be assessed as an Accountant by one of the 3 professional bodies, that is CPA, CA and IPA.

My own qualifications and experience seem to match Financial Institution Branch Manager meaning that it is not under SOL but CSOL.

My question is this: is it necessary that I get my assessment done by VETASSES first before we submit EOI? Will it really make much difference to our scores? I don't want to be the cause of the delay in our application since it has been said that the Accountants slot gets filled up quickly.

Your advice/guidance is needed.

SuccessGee , where art thou?

Not going for this auction though but your usual information may be useful to this week's applicants.

@angiesteve

It is obvious that you will get a better assessment as an Accountant using one of the 3 professional bodies (i.e. CPA, CA, IPA). You may consider aligning your experience to that of an accountant. Auditing and Accounting are closely related.

kubbiebrownie:
Just like Oga bellong said, migration assessment comprises of skill assessment and qualification assessment. Skill assessment is an assessment of your work experience while qualification assessment is an assessment of your academic credentials. Depending on your chosen occupation, if it doesn't require work experience or if you do not have work experience then you only need to do qualification assessment but If your chosen occupation requires work experience or you have work experience related to your chosen occupation you will need to do both qualification assessment and skill assessment.

Hope this helps.

Thank you

bellong:
Yes, the two are what made up the migration assessment. Your skills and qualifications.

Reason why they divided to two is because of those who only need their skills or qualifications only assessed.

Thank you

All these shining of teeth sha

@bellong, NNBB2012, scrollmeout, kubbiebrownie, other gurus in the house

I need a little clarification on migration assessment: I have been coming across the terms "skills assessment" and "qualifications assessment". Are these embedded in what is called "migration assessment"? If not, which of these assessments is required for Australian PR? Thank you.

bellong:
You don't need English test for assessment with VETASSES. There's nothing he is not telling you. He already did his assessment.

40manlappy,
I am not an accountant.

Oga bellong, I know you are not an accountant

I just felt that as the initiator of the thread, you might have come across the question and it's answer OR a member who can address it.

I am gradually gathering relevant information though.

Accountants in the house, please, which body is the best/most efficient among CPA, IPA and CA for assessment?

I read on CA's website that a university/college handbook should be provided...is there an alternative to this?

I haven't gotten the update yet.

They said on 25th for Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro and others.

It's gradually to avoid their server crashing

Mine is Redmi Note 3 Pro and I got the MIUI 8 update yesterday but I completed the download this morning due to data issues

Ryder306:

Got debit alerts around noon today from Stanbic IBTC confirming that my 182days bid for 17.25% pa was successful.

ukay2

lilee2hot:
Only 91 days scaled through.

You meant the bids quoted at their own rates, right?

Ryder306

SuccessGee:
Chai.. I missed by 0.02%. better luck in next bid

Eyaa. Not to worry, next auction is around the corner.

jidabod:
Too bad I didn't see all these rates before placing my bid with Stanbic.

I shouldn't have gone earlier.

Anyway, the dude that attended to me was surprised when I nod in affirmative that Stanbic 91days bid didn't sail through during last auction cos I told him I didn't bid.

Bank Guy: How did you know we lost out of the 91days bid?

Me: I follow some interesting guys...

Bank Guy: Twitter?

Me: Nairaland

Bank Guy: Nairaland? I thought all they do is to report one celebrity did this and that...

Me: Nairaland has different threads based on your interests...

From our conversation, bankers knowledge of TB is dependent on their interests. The lady beside him do not know 10% of what he knows.

Lol @ "I thought all they do is to report one celebrity did this and that..."

You are right to some extent that bankers knowledge of TB is dependent on their interests.

More often than not, bank workers tend to be more knowledgeable about it when they attend to customers who invest in TB, when they themselves invest in it and also make efforts to be adequately informed.

@Seun, you are sighted!

megawax8:
And that's how CBN has called for a Second OMO auction....... Hmmm

Interesting...@feelamong, ihavespoken

What do you make of the above information?

SuccessGee, we are waiting o

feelamong:
I just confirmed that 90 days closed at 15.2% at the secondary market yesterday...

180 days also closed at 16.2%

not looking good at all....only a fresh OMO by CBN today would help these rates

Am not bidding today so i will not be too interested in the outcome..


If I was a betting guy, i will wait till 12 noon and if there is still no OMO, I will go with these rates.....

LIQUIDITY TOO MUSH!


If you dont like the drama of all this, just quietly go to the secondary market and purchase at 14%

Oga, abeg show some interest, your guys are bidding.

I was thinking of quoting 17% for 182 days but with your recommendation, might put in for 17.25%.

Where is SuccessGee? Abeg share SCB stop rates

Thanks for your response Debeams & emiye. We shall be on the lookout.

zamirikpo:
@easyflow I use skyebank.....d thing is I had to teach my account officer how d ntb works,he had no idea. So now all I have to do is fund my account,call him and he does d rest thru their head office.

@royal155, yes ooh,18% for 182days, unless am instructed otherwise by some gurus in dis house....18% it is,although 17.5% would be safer.....but let's wait till Monday. I personally expect rates to move up a notch.

Fingers crossed......keenly monitoring this house for any developments....

Most bank workers do not really know how NTB works. The focus is on opening accounts and getting them funded.

Treasury Bills doesn't count for account officers and there are usually no targets for them.

They would rather encourage you to do term deposits which will increase their balance sheet.

emiye:
Debeams, your prayer worked. While i was hoping for the extra 0.5, My writing score has been reviewed from 6.5 to 7.5 ! Just saw the mail minutes ago. Have you seen a response from them yet?

Congratulations! I am happy for you.

@Debeams: Congratulations to you too. Were you also advised via email? My wife applied for a remark too around the same time as yours but we have not heard anything yet.
