JERRYMAG4:
Hi guys, after about 7 weeks, ACS finally replied me yesterday with a positive feedback. What amazed me most is that, contrarily to different testimonies here that they usually deduct years of experiences, mine were never deducted. I submitted 6 years and was assessed for 6 years and 1 month. I really want to thank everyone for your advice. I know that one day, I will come here and give testimony after my ITA.

#MOSTGRATEFUL

while this is very interesting. i suggest you endeavor to interpret the result more clearly

it should say something like " The following employment after November 2016 is considered to equate to work at an appropriately
skilled level and relevant to 263111 (Computer Network and Systems Engineer) of the ANZSCO Code."

The bolded is the indicator of the deduction.

Congrats on the +ve assessment

@KayVutton

HI kay, whats the status of your assessment with ACS?

Misoke:
but this voucher scarcity thing,one should be able to purchase the voucher online from thier website or something or we need to go through an agent/reseller in Nigeria?

Please who has ought the voucher lately?where?how much?

Thanks

Ukeas now has voucher at 52k. Call them sharlpl

Blitzenkreig66:
Congrats bro. Please confirm you are a Mechanical Engr and got ITA with 65 points and DOE of 7/12/16?
Cos mine is 7/1/17 and my mate is 8/1/17 both 65 points. Make I know whether to go dey prepare now.

Expect your ITA in September.

ZoeW:
You will be successful eventually. Loving your determination.

Amen. thanks

Bamz:
Boss, success is closer than you know. You're an inspiration to me and I'm sure your relentless efforts will pay off definitely.

I claim it ooo. and urs too for sure

Misoke:
sorry did nt read tru..FUTO what course?

hmm..i thought you are done with the English assessments sef.

I ve been unintrested in this PTE but now im thinking

My sister, the current trend of 70+ for ITA has sent me back to the drawing board ooo.

I traveled to Laidera in IB yesterday and i got the result today , still @10pt.

@teewhysafe, in my own experience too, the laidera experience is better ukeas. I will be there next week again. No time to waste time. I think waiting too long before retaking it is not working for me.

sesal:
Good afternoon house,

Please i would like to know which of these banks one can apply for PTA with a one way ticket. Apparently most of them requires return tickets. Please those that left for Oz in the last couple of months, how una do am.

Hi Boss, Please which bank (s) did you approach that has refused to give you PTA on a one way ticket?

Royal54:
@ All, rejoice with me, after 8.5 months of waiting, ITA don show. The wait wasn't easy but it has ended in praise. Now on the final lap of the race. Thank you all for your support and constant encouragement.

Jobe code : 233512 Mechanical Engineer?
DOE : 65pts@ Dec. 7, 2016.

Did I read that right? visa 189

Hope never dies i guess

Congrats Royal

65? 8.5 months

deligentchic:
Please house!

What are my chances of getting invitation with 60 points for Civil Engineering Draftsperson.

EOI summited on the 10th of July.

Already had 20 points from PTE.

Age: 36

Please respond!
T. I. A.

Based on current trend......................0 chances for 189

Misoke:
house o make una come hep me ohhh! my story go long small but be patient and read..

I was assuming my spouse would need only an english language assessment for me to claim points for partner skills but from the EOI form i can see both English language and skill assessment..

Now the thing is he is a graduate from a tier 1 uni but he has been running his own logisitics/transport biz in the last 10years(studied transportation and maritime mgt)...

.i no fit write english test again oh to get 20 because i ve been getting R9L8W7S7.5 (this is my 2nd try, i no fit do am again)

I want to stand a chance for 189 visa while making 190 plan b since my occupation na ICT biz analyst( 70 seems to be the scores getting ITA for now and there are backlogs so i cant bank on 65)

what school and what course?
Please Don't be discouraged Madam for English, I have attempted PTE-A three times (75 is my least score, if its not speaking, its writing or listening or reading) and am not stopping ......... in fact i have another for next week (4th Attempt). Its all about how much you need it for the kids. people have done it 5 times just to claim competent English.


Both Parties must be on 189 list as others have mentioned. getting 20 points is cheaper but may not be easier, however its give you 10pt xtra unlike the PPoints that gives 5.

ugsams:
I think this is a good development. About the concerns that most of the pioneers raised, I believe that even if it's not sustainable or active it can at least be an archive of all the important information from the thread which will be properly segregated. It can also serve as a back up in case a similar event like the one that happened years ago on Nairaland repeats it self and our data gets lost we can have some where to fall back on.

However, I don't think that the new site can be a replacement for this thread as both will have their own uniqueness.

I will suggest names like
naijaoz dot com
Nigeriatoaustralia dot com
au4naija dot com
naijamigrant dot com
skilledmigrationNG dot com
NaijatoAU dot com

I will also suggest we get a diary section on the site and/or a youtube channel to give some insight on life in Australia from different contributors. These are some of the things we lack in this thread as most of it's content if not all has been texts with little or no graphics. So many times I desire to see Nigerian Vloggers in Australia just like you will see many in America giving insight on some of their activities.

The only Australia based channel which I deemed fit to follow on youtube was that of a Filipino guy you can check out his channel on youtube with the name "Abroadero". I will like to get some recommendations of similar channels.

Excellent. I love your insights.

You have said it well.

Highlighted are some of my choices also.

Nanlop55:
Good day Family,
Just woke up this morning to a NEGATIVE assessment from vetasses.
Thank you all for your contributions.
The hustle just got real any suggestions would be appreciated.
cc:bellong,jukeblam,et all

Sorry about the -ve assessment, from my personal experience, it's not the end, you just have to digest the result and know how to repackage.
All the best going forward

MofePR:
Hello,

Please any idea on the point in use for nurses? The occupational ceiling is about 17,000. Does this mean a nurse with EOI of 60 points could be considered first before an accountant with 75 points assuming they both have the same DOE?

cc Mamajaz, AussieMrs, Bellong

Based on 2016/17 trend your simulation would have been a yes for the nurse
But
Based on the current trend... It's 70 points for nurses and still likely to get ITA before acct with 75 with same DOE.

Titiogunwa:
Was able to pay so i didn't have to use a voucher

How were you able to achieve that.
Are you in Nigeria

August 9th : 3rd round result is out.

It's still a no 70.. No ITA scenario

chidike:
Not to sound like a sour puss, though a good idea, like someone said, this will be difficult to maintain. This thread is one of the first you see when you google Aussie PR, plus in this travel section its way up and newbies can always see it. This thread has a ton of information and its great that bellong is still here and goes back to update page zero whenever there is an update. My question is how would newbies find the site?
Do you intend to redirect them there from here? (MODS might not like that) and one you dont have newbies to the thread who just started the process it will be difficult to keep tge site alive. Like someone mentioned all the older guys on this thread rarely come here because they're now more occupied with other stuff since getting their PR.

All the best though, we will support you.

This is the only local source alas the only result for local content
For Older guys .. their vital inputs are buried deep in between the pages and this the same with tons of vital info on this thread.
An independent forum offers better navigation and good record keeping.

Just as this thread started someday from page 0...... there is a start to everything

catchdwind4rmkd:
We share similar concerns on the subject matter...
Sustainability...
So, while I agree with Alphador's idea of making life easy for current and prospective my grants;
I fear the issue of sustainability would suppress the many benefits of actualising such idea.

Alphador, I think we should go with the option suggested by Bellong; run both platforms and see how things turn out.

Bnimz:
The Nairaland forum should be maintained though.. A new site won't be as popular as Nairaland... Plus this forum has helped a lot of lives.. A new site can be created but this one needs to remain as well .... Just my opinion

All concerns are noted with sustainability being the bane of concern here.

Yes, a lot of people have come and gone.
bellong's dedication is on a wavy level, I salute you boss.

I also strongly agree that the thread must remain, who knows if the site will work out as intended as but as a community we can make it work. Surely it will take a while before the site gains traction.

I know how people can react to change but change is a constant thing.

@bnimz @bellong @catchdwind4rmkd @azy123 @mamajaz @nnbb2012 @michaelamo @uchenna2012 @ozymigrant @teewhysafe.

@everyone

I need your support as a to drive this alternative

I will like to go ahead and work with people who are interested in setting up the modalities.

Does anyone have a suggestion for the site name :

Hi Aussie Fam,
With support from the chief himself , Sir bellong,
There is a proposal to move this thread away from NL to an independent forum.

This will enable us interact better and track posts effectively.
Feature will include but not limited to

-better tracking of each NOC information.
-categorisation of each subject matter
-Easy navigation for new comers
-Archivable content.
-Avoid repetition of same issue over and over again, we can have "how to sections" for most used assessing bodies.
-profile progress tracking
-ITA dates countdown.
-
......and so much more.

This site will require all our effects to thrive as a community and this will require commitments from some users to acts as mods and supermods and champions
I have to warn that this new community will not be a walk in the park but it will be an interesting walk for us all.

Suggestion for site new is needed.
Volunteer for Mods, Supermods, and champions (People with vast knowledge of a particular assessing authority)

The idea is to have a platform like [url]www.migrati.. that will be information rich

Please note that nothing has been concluded or decided yet. this is just an idea for us to consider

Bankole1790:
@toslad do you require an high level of computer expertise for you to take the PTE exam?

None is required.

Just basic computer knowledge.

There is racketeering going with PTE voucher through Ukeas.
I practically called 5 office locations and got the response.

"We are out of vouchers for now. Until sometime next week.
If you would like to get from one of our agents at some discount rate please let me via bla bla bla"

KayVutton:
I graduated 2009.
Nysc 2010

I've been picking the certifications in the last 10 years. But the most recent is 2years old.

Kindly forgive my ignorance. How does the RPL work? I want to do this alongside Canada but this one seems more complicated.

I've tried searching for RPL via Google but couldn't find anything informative.

Is it an exam? Or like wes or IQas of Canada.
I have Eca from IQAs though.

Do I need pof?

Honestly I've tried doing the research myself but I could not find anything.

RPL is recognition of prior learning. It requires you to demonstrate your IT competency through two project since you don't have a degree in IT. It's another to skills assessment. It's quite an easy task we have success stories of that path on this thread.

No pof required for RPL.

All certs and degree should be presented for assessment for maximum exploit.

Am sure @zoew @azy123 will be more than happy to assist with tested and trusted RPL report samples

KayVutton:
Yes please
ITIL intermediary

Bros ee
Na play I dey i play na
Someone cannot play with you
......

With ACS..
You will need a well packaged reference letter aligning your responsibilities and role as a system analyst.
Does the 7yrs include your NYSC....
what year did you graduate,
RPL seems like a better choice for you so you can claim work experience.
What year did you acquire the certs.


A positive assessment is not far from you.

Laidera, Ibadan. Morning session. Bought voucher from David, Pearson Ikeja.

Ukeas was short one point 3 times. Bought all 3 vouchers from Rachel..
We had to change all our strategies the 4th time.

Noted thanks.

To all those with 20pts in PTE, please advice on your test centre and session ( morning , mid day, evening)

mamajaz:
You dey here, in this family house dey look for visa lottery when you know that scammers are everywhere you go these days. Okay oh, kwantinu! Since you don't wanna read& follow these easy right steps outlined here, I pray that God will guide Malcolm Turnbull & Bro Peter Dutton to look into your case. For I perceived that " your case is different "! Abi, Alphadoor, this case no look different The founding father of #GMPC# ( sunvick) can't even adopt you because you don't fit into his grandchildren's group.
ifeoluwa33, I will advice you consider assessing with ACWA as youth worker, if you can back it up with strong CV and reference letter. Please, chief bellong, and others who have gone through ACWA put mouth for us so that I don't mislead people. Is it possible for someone with G&C education to assess with ACWA or he should go through Aitsml jeje?

I will just pass by on this lottery matter. this one pass #GMPC.
the nomenclature is unknown

Does anyone have PTE voucher for sale.

@zoew. congrats on the ITA

@lalazo Congrats on your Grant.
