@tunlex01 and @bellong.

Please I kindly want to confirm something for the employer template required for TRA assessment.
Where I previously worked, my line manager has left the company and working in some other company.
Can he still fill the template considering he longer works where he was my line manager or it must be a someone from my previous place of work presently working there that will be responsible for the filling?

Thanks.

tunlex01:

Yes he can; he can also add that he is no longer with the organisation but was your manager at the time he was there

Ha, please o.
I have been on this journey since October 2019.
Electrical Engineering too
EA assessed in 2018.
PTE all 90 in October 2019.
My points was all time high at 95 then.
Created EOI across board.

On paper it may look good, but in reality..... hmmmm for offshore candidates.
At one point only Northern Terriotory (read up what NT is like first) was open but proof of funds no be here.
Even the recently released SA occupation list has no Electrical Engineering.
Look before you leap.
Be very sure before you spend your hard earned money.

I am here to learn too.

Please I need someone to talk to on phone to guide me through Australian visa application. Please

stifo2012:
I would advice you create different EOI for each state. Every state has her requirements which you may not be able to meet on one EOI.
For example, Tasmania will not nominate you if you have selected other states too in your EOI.
You could also consider TRA as tradies are high demand.

Bodacious1:
Hi,
Thanks for this tip. I only have one EOI but selected all states, so if I create individual EOIs and withdraw the initial one, would there be any adverse effect?

dzamaka:
Hello everyone, good evening. I must commend the brains behind this concept. You guys are the best.
Please I have a quick question

My husband is 36 years, a civil engineer and over 8 years work experience as a civil engineer. Would he be considered for offshore PR in Australia?
Should we go ahead and apply now or wait a little for offshore nomination to resume

Greatnnamdi:
I have 2+ years mechanical Technician and 1 year Technician training from a manufacturing company and currently I was offered a Mechanical Engineer position.

My educational background is HND (Higher National Diploma) in Mechanical Engineering from Nigeria.

I have checked my qualifications credibility for an accord standard by the EA (Engineer Australia) and in my country (Nigeria) there is no accord standard.

So am asking now, with my HND (educational qualifications) and Mechanical Engineer position and my mechanical Technician experience, how long will I work as an engineer to be eligible for a positive skill assessment for a Mechanical engineer by the Engineer Australia (EA).

Or

Am I still under TRA skill assessment for a fitter with my Mechanical Engineer position and my HND.

Please do help me in this regard.

Thanks.

stifo2012:
With your educational qualification, you are better off assessing with TRA which i believe is an advantage.

Greatnnamdi:

Please thank you. If you are having issues with providing a reference letter from supervisor with letter head, any solution or alternative to it.

Secondly, please how much will it cost to do a TRA SKILL ASSESSMENT for a 494 visa class not the TSS route.

Thanks.

Hello, sorry I was not keeping an eye on this thread. PhD funding in Australia is more generous and they won't overuse you as a PhD student. In the US (and Canada too), you would have to complete a Masters degree which include completing coursework as part of your PhD program. In Australia, you get to do full-time hardcore research, no coursework, no Masters degree, no bullsh**t. This was really appealing to me as I had already completed a MSc before commencing my PhD.

In my opinion, I also think that the quality of life as PhD student in Australia is better than that of US/Canada. You can still have a life and even do causal/PT jobs to make additional money. This is related to how US/Canadian Universities make their PhD students work really hard for the penny the University awarded to them. I interact with PhD students here in my lab in the US and I am really glad I did complete my PhD here. Based on my familiarity with the academic environment in Canada and on my conversation with some PhD students over there, I do think that life as a PhD student in Canada is a lot better. You also have better chances at becoming a permanent resident post-PhD in Australia (Canada too) than the US. Those are the few ones I can think of right now. So my ranking would be Australia, Canada, and Ireland.

Haha, interestingly I did not see any of those weird animals/insects since I lived in a city, except Kangaroos though. They are cool, hehe. I finished my program in ~4years and it was in Neuroscience.

stifo2012:


Yes, you can try assessing your skills with TRA. Time is not so much on your side so you need to start the process now.
With your current age band, (33-39) you already have 25 points but when you clock 40, you will have 15 points.
