Please, does anyone here rent caterpillars and tractors? Contact me via 08058004058 if you do. Thanks so much

Good day guys. Please add me to the available post-ITA group. My telegram username is @chynaydwu.

Thanks!

Good day my bosses. Can I also claim points on self-employment? I was self-employed for a while and have all documentation for CAC available. Can I add that to my work experience?
If I can, what documents would I need?

Thanks so much, my bosses.

Many thanks so much for the response. I am currently studying for my masters and the firm I worked with closed down just before I went to school.
Prepping to apply as soon as I round off my program.

carissaa:

Yes. Just be sure to include your roles and responsibilities plus the fact that the organisation has closed down within your letter and you should be fine

Good evening everyone. Please, I would like to know if my experience with a company that has closed shops would count towards my work experience?
If it would, can my former boss at the company still sign whatever correspondence that would be required of him?

Thanks

you apparently chose to coin your inverted interpretation to my response, any ways i will explain the logic behind what i wrote, i did not know it could be that elusive but i will break it down further.

if you applied a balanced view, you will see i touched on quite a few different scenarios, with a consistent underlying message; LONG TERM.

my question still remains if you come here for 2years Australian govt masters, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH IT WHEN SENT BACK HOME? it is a thought provoking question and not a discouraging one.

in other words, what is your long term goal. what you want out of life should determine the offer you accept, no matter how good they seem.

i mentioned my friend is doing permanent residency to relocate to Canada because of scholarship requirement, this friend of mine loves it here, but has to leave behind higher pay and lower taxes to move to canada. that is just 1 out of 7 people i know that are in the same boat.

i totally understand the need to give people hope, but i think it is better to encourage people to rather do a proper risk analysis, planning, preparation and execution. hope does not cut it. if not Nigeria would have been the best Nation in the world.

out of every 10people that has a Foreign education in Nigeria how many makes more than 300 thousand naira per month. ok let us up it to out every 100 people you know. Nigeria has changed, in the early 2000 all you needed in Nigeria was a foreign degree, and boom you land a good job. but now things are fierce, thousand of people trooping back into the country yearly with foreign masters, jostling for 100 positions.

Mate get it straight, people make it every where. even in Sudan, syria, iraq and Borno state, people are there making it big, but the question at what rate, what is the ratio. if you are fimiliar with survey or research, you will understand that they base their findings on spot ratio sampling analysis. so if i say all Nigerians are black, doesnt really mean they are all black it means the majority.


let us stop giving people hope based on the few. let us tell it as it is so people can face the mirror and reflect on what is really at stake. let us tell them to factor in the aftermath and the aftershock.

what are your options after your study abroad? if it is permanent residency, how to do you intend to achieve that? which region can i best get it done?

if i am coming to Nigeria, am i coming to be hoping for a job? or i have already secured the commitment of a few places? personally methink it better you come to Nigeria on your own terms.

if i want to go to US or Canada after my scholarship, what will the policy look like by then? what skill will be shortage in those places when i finish? because if you go and study what is not a skill shortage list nobody will give you job in another country. They all must show the govt that they cannot fill the jobs locally before giving it out.

in order not to engage in time wasting, or futile adventure, please plan, assess all risk factors and potentials.

but if you only want to journey in hope, kudos to your pastors or imams, they have done a good job

My brother or sister, thanks for the message. Not everyone that's going to Australia to study wants to get a PR. I am one of those few people.
Not everyone going on a masters is coming back to look for a job or going in hope. I am one of those few.

Every step I take is deliberate and well thought out.
This is like a 2 year sabbatical for me from a well paying job I love and enjoy.
Brother or sister, there are a lot of International organizations paying people world class salaries in dollars in naija. Not everyone will get such jobs but they exist.
You are right about the stats in Nigeria but those stats DON'T affect me.

It seems like everyone here wants to relocate through studies. All the best with that.
Someone contacted me yesterday and I explained to him that if he wants to relocate to Australia, he should forget about scholarship and have his cash on ground for PR or School fees.

I will have a great time in Adelaide and return to continue from where I've stopped in Nigeria after my degree.

Las Las, no be everybody go commot for Nigeria.
Cheers!

And of what use will the masters be to you when you are back in Nigeria? are going back to job search or already has things properly set up on return.

the major underlying reason for most Australian study, is to use it as a pathway to PR. depending on your plans, not all scholarships are good for you. i have a friend who came on scholarship, but now have to migrate after studies to Canada. because course wasnt on list.

please, we have overflogged it before, let us look at skilled list, before making these decisions. consider your age by the time you finish your study, will you be eligible for maximum points for age? will you be able to pass english test equivalent to ielts 8? or 7?

instead of being hasty and having to come here to do 1 year in one sch and jump to another, which will make pay 3years tuition instead of 2.

location of school? the govt is trying to push people to the region, and nomination is easier in regions especially when you study there. most regions i know have special packages for people who studied in their region.

please, yous should consider long term, a stitch in time saves nine.

there are so many people here who has to do 2 masters because they chose the wrong course, a record number are seeking asylum because they spent years wasting money on wrong course, and they are just tired of spending another 2years of their life working just to pay tuition. some the cases have seen ended up in the negative.

many are getting married quick quick as a result of not planning ahead, and have to do it just save thier visas.

many finished studies in mel, syd and they now have to pack their bags to the region to start to spend one full year to meet regional requirement before they can apply for permanent residency.

and so many has been sent back to Nigeria, not went back ooo, sent back.

ensure your agents in nigeria do what you want, it is a service you already paid for, those agents are not up to date with happenings or with current Immigration debates in parliament, do your research and demand the very best service, like i said you all paid for the service. i was the one that educated my agent on AL1 schools 2017, they never heard about it prior to when i sat them down educated them and told them to get an AL1 school admission.

you see, they are not smart as you may think.


australia is far, too far to come ill prepared or lacking of information. australia is busy, too busy 2years flies like 2months, you will wake up one day and be surprised you already completed your education, then what next.

not every good offer is good for you. paying 16000aud UTAS per semester is better than paying 12000 in western sydney Uni.

required points for PR is 65 points. you will most likely hit just 60 points with western sydney uni, but with the regional points that comes with studying in UTAS you are guaranteed your 65 or 70points. look at it now in the interim western sydney seems ideal cos its cheaper but longterm you will end up spending more, relocating to regional, and wasting more time trying to look for an extra 5points.

please people, do your research, dont think study alone, think long term.

if you are already in the wrong course, you are admitted already, or granted visa with the wrong course already. please change course immediately after 1st semester, preferably change school to a regional area. it will be harder in beginning, but trust me overtime you will find your footing.


School agents are free here, so do not be scared of approaching one and have them change your uni.

please na with abeg i beg una.

My advice goes mainly to most people coming with family, the single ones can still wiggle through some cracks, and also to the very strongly morally compassed single ones.

Guys, with a Master's degree FROM Australia, you can get a great job ANYWHERE in the world.
I know people who got this scholarship and are working in the US and Canada now. Don't be discouraged by anybody guys!

You can make it anywhere even in Nigeria.

There are jobs in Nigeria paying people $5k monthly. The fact that you don't have it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.

Cheers guys!

Postboiswag:




Please give us more info about this

The scholarship I got is called Australia Awards. Its the Australian government scholarship. They award Scholarships for Master's degree and short courses but I got the former. It opens every year around September and closes in December.
If you get this scholarship, you must leave Australia after studies for at least 2 years.
So, this scholarship is not for people who intend to relocate to Australia via student routes.
You can get more information at www.australiaawardsafrica.org

I'm open to more questions.
Cheers!

IELTS comes out after 14 days

ARS1:
Long epistle alert!

It all started around January last year when I made up my mind to enroll for PhD program in Australia. Those who have passed through this stage will perfectly understand how tedious the process is- starting from putting in place a novel research proposal, getting a professor to supervise your project and finally, securing funding for your program. To be honest, one needs to be highly motivated and dedicated to survive these hurdles.

I must confess, my dedication and perseverance really paid off after series of rejections as I was able to get the consent of three supervisors from different universities who were willing to support my applications. Between July and December 2017, I had completed the application process for admission and funding. To God be the glory, the results started coming out in April 2018. Two of the Universities offered me admission with full funding (stipend + tuition+ family insurance cover) while the third University offered only admission without funding.


Sorry, i forgot to mention that one of the Universities is in G8 (equivalent of ivy league) What a great news! Without waisting time, I quickly accepted the offer from this Universty for obvious reasons. Apart from the fact that the University is consistently ranked among the top 50 in the world, my department is also ranked among the top 10 in the world. In view of this, I had to reject other offers.

As soon as my COE was issued, I quickly submitted my Visa application on June 26, 2018. To avoid unnecessary issue, every document was submitted with my application. To my surprise, I got no response from DIBP on my application after three months. Then, I decided to send a polite email to DIBP on 6th October 2018 on progress of my application as my enrollment deadline was 14th October 2018. Alas, I got a refusal notice on 9th October 2018.

In the refusal notice, the visa officer submitted that she was not convinced that I met the genuine entry requirement as I do not have strong ties to return to my country despite the fact that I didn't not apply together with my family. She further posited that she was not convinced that PhD is beneficial to my career goal as a tutor. What an insult again!

The refusal notice was quickly sent to the graduate school and my supervisor. This unfair decision did not meet my supervisor well as she quickly sought the intervention of the University. In her email to the graduate school, she clearly mentioned that this is the most disgusting reason for visa refusal she has ever heard. While she has hoped for the intervention of the University, I understand that the University might not be able to reverse the decision of DIBP as there is no option for appeal.

Given this dilemma, it will be appreciated if any useful advice could be given.

I think you should appeal the visa refusal. Write to them stating why the PhD scholarship which is a life time opportunity will help you solve developmental problems in Nigeria. I believe you intend to return to Nigeria to continue your teaching profession, right?

Make this known to them.

All the best

Chineylove:
Good morning all, I want to know if sending message or calling immi has any effect on how the visa is being decided because my visa has delayed too long and I want to strongly write them to finalize already but I’m scared so they will not use anger and go and deny it. Any suggestions please?

How long have you been waiting?

mikeufuoma2016:
someone who have used Egypair should please advise me. Thanks

I've used them but not to Australia. They stop at Cairo and Abu Dhabi to Aussie. On the average, its a decent airline. The food isn't great and they don't serve alcohol. I'm sure these are not your worries, lol

Paschaldanielse:
Plz someone should suggest the best ielts training centre at ikeja for me..i hope to start my application as soon as I can pronounce Jack Robinson

Once you're on the site, search for IELTS. You will be glad you did.

All I see is agbada. Baba isn't healthy at all. For the sake of his family, he should resign.

Hello house, Ive been a silent reader too and had my interview at Abuja this morning.
Believe me it was a feast of green and blue slips but I kept on believing because I was prepared for it and my company was paying for the trip to Chicago to attend an exhibition and make recommendations on the processing equipments to purchase from suppliers at the exhibition.
The interview was as follows.....
VO: Good morning
Me: Good morning.
VO : Why are you travelling to Chicago?
Me: I am travelling to represent my company at the forthcoming bleep conference and exhibition and make recommendations on equipemt to be purchased.
VO: What do you do?
Me: I am the plant manager of the bleep processing plant and we are into bleep products.
VO: Do you have a child?
Me: Not yet ma'am
VO: I'm sorry.

I am the youngest manager at my firm and right now, my boss wishes he nominated someone else for the trip because my passport is still virgin.


What was wrong my people?

Dont try it. They will frustrate you.
I did the same some years ago and got a capturing date of approximately a year after. Went to the office and pleaded with them but if course they used that as an opportunity to extort me.

Damalex4luv:
