Good evening to the ogas at the top. Thanks for taking your time to respond to newbies like us. Have gone through the thread from the very first one initiated by Oga Bellong. I was very hopeful and enthusiastic that my husband can be the primary applicant as the process for pharmacist is no so direct but the recent information I gathered from here is that accountant (General) is very competitive. Now am confused, I'ld really appreciate it if someone can help guide me on the best way to go about getting PR for OZ.

My husband:
Age: 36
Qualification: Bsc banking and finance from Anambra state University.
Experience: 6 years working in general account. Has all documents to back it up.
English test: yet to write but we hope to target scores to give us 20 points.

Me:
Age: 34
Qualification: PharmD from university of Benin
Experience: more than 4 years. don't have payslips or tax clearance just offer letters and bank statements
English: yet to write.
I can make hair and fix nails but no certificate or trade test to back it up. ( skills we develop growing up).

I was hoping my husband could be the primary applicant with 189 visa as it doesn't require much funds but now am confused.

We were considering starting Canada process towards the tail end of 2021 but with recent increase in CRS scores I don't know what it will be like by next year. (Huge proof of funds for family of 5 is what's delaying us)

Please ogas come to my rescues on any possible route we could take to PR so we can make hay while the sun is still out. Thanks in advance.

Baba you lost me here o!
For someone who has Diploma in Elect-Elect, I believe one year should be Sufficient for anything electrical Level-2 related?

I'm glad you said the people you know. I know over 6 people who are not on Nairaland who have gotten ITA from TAS and ACT with 65 and 70 points since December till May, 2020. Please note that not everyone running this migration is on Nairaland. A very fresh one I can remember got ITA as a Cabinet maker with 65 from TAS within 12 days. Another got with 65 from SA - ICT Customer Support officer before the occupation moved to 75 and then special condition.

491 Family sponsored visa also gives you the 15 points.

Ways to get nomination faster is to assess for occupations like technicians roles with TRA. We hope July will bring forth good tidings

Themhydahyoh:
Even if my course is 4 years course all over the institutions in Nigeria? I studied Mass Communication and has been working as a News Editor for 8 years now anyways thanks for the response. No need assessing since its a negative outcome from onset

abuhusna1:
Hello house please help me out with direction so I can apply for my wife. She is a Baker as she know how to bake bread, meat pie cakes of any type please who can point me to direction on how to apply for her

Themhydahyoh:
Please house, can someone actually help me with this tier 1or tier 2 Universities. Is it only peculiar to Nigeria? I graduated from AAUA and my Anzsco code is 212412 with 8 years experience.

Before now, people claim partner points for all the visa types 189, 190 and 489. So, why will claiming point for being single only be for visa 491? It is a across board. It can't be for only 491 alone. If you can claim partner point for 491, a single person now has the opportunity to do same across all the visa types. They are trying to give equal playing field for everyone. I know that's where your doubt is. Claiming point based on your marital status can't be for just one visa type. Partner points had always been claimed for all the visa types right from time. It is that same opportunity they are about to give single individuals so they won't be left off. And it is across board.

Moreso, my occupation is not available for 489 that is about to be substituted with the 491. Mine is skill level 1. It's only available for 189 and 190. It is even only NSW that's nominating it for now.

The new changes were posted here by a member sometime ago. I think it was gotten from the immigration website. You can read it on their site.

Have you actually taken time to go through the new changes that will take effect from November? You are still very much in doubt I understand.

I once doubted until I went straight to the immigration website to read it up. They just can't put up something like that if they won't implement it. Will they really do that? That's my thought. So you see, that 10 points is not borrowed. It is what immigration put on their website. That's the right source you can confirm it from.

It should be a good news to everyone, so that those whose occupations may not be on the 491, will still have something to fall back on. Definitely, if my occupation appears on 491, I will apply for it as well. Any one that comes quicker will be the one I will go for. But even at that, not all occupations will show in the 491 list.

Thank you so much @tunex01 I feel writing TOEFL will be much easier to achieve.
What's the difference between normal and priority processing please.

Samuel2021:
Good Evening,
I have 8years working as Electrical/Instrumentation Technician and my education qualification is National diploma in Electrical Electronics Engineering.
I want to carry out my education assessment, will my diploma in Electrical Electronics Engineering from Nigeria polytechnic fetch me 10points?

bellong:
Civil engineering technologist

Laheelow:
God bless @oga belong.
Actually, she presently works as a Process Support Technologist in a service/ contrat company (in contract with a cement company) in charge of some quality control/assurance/laboratory stuffs. Prior to this, she has also work for 4 years as a chemistry teacher/laboratory coordinator in a private school. That's why she had to obtained a PGD(Edu) in 2015 from NTI in case she may want to go back to teaching. Her work experience has always revolve around laboratory. Is it advisable to add her PGDE to her qualification in other to make it equivalent to bachelor degree for this purpose or we should just proceed writing her CDR and see out it turns out as suggested by you. This is because there seems to be no skill level 2 job that is matching her profile. Thanks in anticipation.

Lifted0902:
ICT Project Manager is exactly what I have been doing for the 8-years and still doing. I also have 2 certifications (PMP - Project Management Professional and ITIL - Information Technology Infrastructure Library) in that space as well, but I read somewhere on this thread that ACS doesn't grade professional certifications hence the decision not to list them on the previous post.

A few occupations I think are close to what also do are ICT Managers nec (135199), ICT Business Analyst (261111) both of which seems very competitive as well.

Age: 37
Ed: I have an HND in Mechanical Engineering (I graduated in 2009)
Work experience: I completed my ND (Mechanical Engineering) in 2002, and got a job as an engineering technician in a Manufacturing firm since 2004. So, my current working years is 14 years.
I have gone through the list of eligible skilled occupations, and intend to apply as an engineering technologist. I intend to apply under visa subclass 189. Currently, I am married with 3 children. Wifey is 29 years, and is a business woman.

Please, is visa subclass 189 the right one for me?
Is applying as an engineering technologist the right application?
Please give an other advice. Thanks ahead.

tunlex01:
To claim Partner points, your spouse must score a minimum of 6 in each band of IELTS or 50 in PTE.

In addition to the above, your spouse must satisfy the following:
My partner is aged under 45
My partner can obtain a suitable skills assessment (that is not for a Subclass 485 visa)
My partner has a skilled occupation on the same skilled occupation list as you.
Goodluck.

trastar:
It's more about the occupation being nominated really. Not all occupations are available on both list.

trastar:
You have already reached the age limit.
If you have a partner who is younger, maybe they can apply.

Logictinz:

Abeg I need help please.

catchdwind4rmkd:
To simplify what HSIM has said, and made add a little:

After getting the right IELTS SCORE (at least 6.0), you need to meet all the criteria summarised below,
1. You're younger than 31yrs old as at the time of application
2. You're a recent (within the last 2yrs) ENGINEERING graduate.
3. Your degree was obtained from a recognised university (Australian, Washington Accord, Sydney Accord). If you graduated from UK or Australian University, you're likely to meet this criterion.

To ensure you receive a grant;

1. You need to submit an online application to be considered. This is only certain once you've paid the application fee.
2. You need to upload all required documents, viz
* scanned copies of;
I. evidence of degree qualification (certificate and/or transcript)
II. Evidence of age (birth certificate or affidavit)
III. Valid Identification (Passport and/or Drivers Licence)
IV. Valid Travel document (Passport )
V. Recent passport photo (must meet the stated size or dimension 45H x 35W)
VI. Completed "FORM 80" (This is a duplicate of the online form you've already filled. So, you must save or print out a copy of your online application and use same to fill your form 80 to avoid contradictions.
VII. Medical Clearance (You can only be able to upload your polio vaccination certificate. Your completed medical statement will be uploaded directly to your file by àny of the assigned panel physicians you choose to use. You can only do your medical clearance at selected medical centres which are listed on the application website. You're, however, required to complete an online self-medical assessment)
VIII. Evidence of Good Character (Police Character Certificate from all countries you've lived in for at least 12 months in the past 10yrs. This too can only be gotten from selected Police offices in the country)
IX. Evidence of English Competency (IELTS, TOEFL, PTE)
X. Proof of Address (bank statement, utility bills, etc)

You don't have to upload all these at the point of submission of application. You have time to do this after you've submitted your application, but the earlier the better.

A case officer will be assigned to you possibly within 2 months from the date of submission of your application. Your case officer may contact you about the status of or decision on your visa application if you've provided all the required evidence. He may also contact you to request for additional documents or evidence if you're yet to submit them.

If you meet all the requirements and have provided all the proofs, you'll definitely be granted the Visa. It takes between 1 to 6 months to know the outcome of your application. No proof of fund is required for this visa. I hope I have been able to help. Others can enlighten you more in areas that I've not been detailed enough.

Best wishes.

BADNEAT:
pls Look for schools under AL1 in ssvf , you don't need proof of funds ..but be advised that in the real sense ,you'll spend when you get there ..just call it a job and read from page one to 50 and then the last 150pages of this thread .you should be done before weekend and have all the answers to questions you've not even thought of
