Thank you dear!

First bank is ready to do western union transfer at rate of 355naria per USD, please can you do your calculation on this rate. thanks

Has the limit of $1,000 per quarter per individual for outward transfer been lifted or increased?


AUD 5310 = USD 4035 (constant) = 1,432,425 (@355 ),

YES BLACK MARKET..

AUD 5310 = USD 4035 = NGN 1,468,958.4 (@368/$) .............plus transaction charges.. u can add a buffer of 100 - 200 usd to value

happy4lucy:

Yes you can by using a dollar domiciled debit card from any of the commercial banks like GTB, Diamond, access.

Have you gotten your ITA?

@ Bellong
God will heal your brother and give you the strength to excel in your exams.
Amen. #double double#

As stated earlier by me...

This section 1 .. Section 2 criteria does not cut across all assessing bodies.

lawland:
I now have access to Nigeria Education profile... Had to pay $50 for it. Well, Unizik is section 2 university.

I can advise what your qualification is equivalent to if anyone needs the service.

What is Olabisi Onabanjo University ...
Is it a Section 1 or 2 or 3.

What does the section it belongs to mean?

Mijac:
Those are core courses i did at undergraduate. Both electrical and computer courses.

Bsc.. Comp Eng... Uniben
MSC...petroleum...
Exp: reservoir Engineer...

While the B.sc appears its likely to get you an AQF bachelor ICT Major/Minor or ,

however it appears you do not have the years of experience required by ACS... @least 2yrs post graduate degree or 4 yrs part time pre degree., to get a +be assessment.

@ Alphadoor
Thanks Boss...I saw the same thing. But you know the problem with those guys sometimes, they know how to reduce work experience from 5 years to 1.5years. Though I have up to 4 years experience in my present Sales Manager occupation, I'm really concerned AIM can reduce it below the required 3years minimum by SA.

Thanks for your help bro....gracias!

Sir, that unknown is what is called assessment.
Don't be skeptical, just package well and go for it..
In my experience, I did three times with ACS..
First was negative...
Second was positive...
Third was positive with 10pts for experience..

Information is power and it lies in the assessment result.
Just go for it.. About 550 AUD

ZoeW:
Hello Fam, cc Alphadoor,

Has anyone completed an RPL for ACS with a positive outcome? A colleague would like to apply as well but does not have an ICT related degree and I think an RPL is the only other option she has for assessment - ICT Business Analyst.

Experienced people in the house please help out!

Thanks

As at today, none that I know of but some people are familiar with it and someone is currently working on one .

I will like to know more abt your friend
Does she have any certifications?
How many years of IT experience does she have?
What's her current job role?

Mijac:
Yes but will computer engineeRing 1st degree fly? Anyone with computer engineeRing that has assessed with EA?

Hi, what's your current job description and how long have you been doing it.
Do u have any professional certificate?
What school and year did you graduate.?

ZoeW:
Hmmm, I didnt consult o. But I have been reading up here and on the ACS site and tried to follow their guidelines to the T. Its now between the assessor and God.

Hmmmmm. It will end in paise

koleefem05:
Thanks Mr Azy123.
I don't have problem with anzsco code relating to sales experience. AIM is the assessing body for Sales and Marketing Manager, and I meet the minimum requirement. Though I don't know if AIM will reduce my years of experience o. My problem however, is that my bachelor degree is not related to my skilled occupation. My bachelor is Agriculture, while my occupation is Sales. I've never for once practiced Agriculture. What do you advise sir?

Oga Alphadoor and others please rescue.
Thank you all

I feel your urge bro but unfortunately i don't have much information concerning your NOC. I cant afford to misinform you.
I will advice you look at aims guideline
however here is something i saw on there website.
am not sure it makes sense but please take with a pinch of salt

https://australianinstituteofmanagement.com.au/skilled-migration-assessment/assessment-criteria/

ZoeW:
ICT Business Analyst. I am just praying seriously that I get a positive outcome! EOI must be completed by 1st week of July.

ZoeW:
Ahhhh! I just changed browser and saw it! It was not showing up on google chrome but i saw it on explorer.
Thanks!!!
Fingers crossed now!

I can tell as e dey hot....

Yeah. i should have mentioned that also. I have issue when i use chrome. Its either Mozilla or Edge

ZoeW:
Hello Fam,

I am currently trying to pay for ACS assessment but that site is from the 60's aswear! I am on the last page (Payment) and I have entered my card details and all but there is not button to click on to proceed. I have hit enter and even tried saving so I can login again! No avail! Its just sitting there.

Please good people help! I am at my wits end! Who else has made payment recently? Did you encounter this? How did you work it out?

Thank you.

Slow down.

all u need to click is the submit button

Azy123:
Thanks a lot.

I just sent it to you.

Bolaobby and desgin please I will send the section 2 which is project reports when done.

Thanks.

Keep up the good work bro...

@config @bolaobby @desgin

Thanks for your inputs

Bnimz:
That should be easy to avoid.. The pesin no go just claim work experience for points..

Ur head is there

Azy123:
That is at their discretion. But so far I have not seen anyone that they contact their employers. They only need you reference letter on letter head or statutory declaration and 2 payslip if letter head is not available. chikena

@bnimz confam ooo. however DIBP may verify, so make sure the coy letterhead is a registered coy with reachable contacts.
Payslip is also a must to backup your claims

Bnimz:
Alphadoor, I see... Educate me abeg... How man go go about am?

They need to submit Part - time work experience from 100l - final year.

@bnimz, tell all your ICT guys without post graduation IT experience that there is light at the tunnel.
Its about packaging well.

Tested and trusted ...

bolaobby:
Can you be a little explicit

we want to put in for ACS assessment for 263111 using RPL route.

RPL is new to us and we need guidance on how to write a successful project report

Good morning Fam,

Urgent help needed with ACS RPL sample docs ....(tested and trusted format).

Please, Biko, Ejor, Don Allah

metrecube:
I would love to buy it. Will pm u.

Sold...
Someone else already beat u to it...


!!!that was fast!!

Sold

Bnimz:
I need to ask, is this BSc from Nigeria? Cos I've been hearing that ACS requires two years experience for positive assessment, which is why I haven't been able to drag all my computer science guys into this...

@bnimz obviously there has been an oversight with ACS and pre degree work experience. "At least on my part".... Its still unclear but full exploration is in progress.

sunvick:
This information is absolutely incorrect, dont scare people with such assertion and misinformation.

I had no drop of certification nor BSc in IT for 1st degree buh still got a positive outcome in 14days.

So abeg, take am easy with such info before you relegate some people to #GMPC

SV

Well Said..

lalaazo:
I concur GTB Dollar Master debitcard ( AUD1.26= $1) will suffice; no spending limit via POS/online.
http://www.gtbank.com/personalbanking/cards/mastercard/gtbank-dollar-debit-cards/dollar-debit-mastercard

I concur

Same also goes for all nigerian commercial banks issuing USD debit card.

Also don't forget the bank charges when making conversion...
I always add 5 USD for every 100 USD transactions

Desgin:
@Pushy8 Yes computer engineering graduate be accessed by EA as an engineer.

Secondly,what is your current/past Job role as ACS seems to be highly competitive if you don't have ICT certifications like CCNP, CCDP and others.

This assumption of ACS is in accurate.

doyen06:
Yes your right but most cards here have a limit of $5000 per day and with the conversion, 7200 AUD is about 5400$, so that's over the limit already. I need cards with greater limit.

This is in accurate. All banks uses a "No limit" for web/POS transactions. Except of course the card request for such a limit

doyen06:
Please for people who lodged recently, what method of payment did you use? Is there Any Nigerian bank card that can pay 7200 AUD?

All dollar domiciled cards issued by Nigerian banks, can make such payment.

Bamz:
Hi guys,

I'd like to know if a PR visa entitles one to a PTA (Personal Travelling Allowance). I only know that it's allowed for student visa.

Thanks.

PTA is not visa related or dependent. Listed below is the criteria required for PTA allocation.

If am to rephrase your question, what you will like to know is if you can get PTA on your way to OZ when u have your PR visa, The answer is

YES

For Personal Travel Allowance (PTA)

Applicants shall be eighteen (18) years of age and above
It won’t be sold to people below 18 years of age.

Applicants/beneficiaries shall be holders of Nigerian Passports
This means that holders of passports other than the Nigerian passport will not be able to access Forex for their trip.

Applicants shall be account holders in the chosen bank
For instance, if you want to buy Forex from Guaranty Trust Bank plc (GTB) you must be an account holder in the Bank before Forex is sold to you.

PTA shall only apply to journeys of not less than five (5) hours flight time
This means no Forex for travels to almost all West African countries since the journeys are less than five hours flight time.

The flight must originate from Nigeria
Sale of PTA shall be for travel to be undertaken not more than 14 days from the day of the purchase of PTA
This means that Forex can be purchased within 14 days of travel once you have the necessary documents.

Applicants shall be entitled to $4,000.00 per quarter
You can’t get Forex of more than $4000 in 3 months.

Applicants shall present verifiable BVNs to their bankers
This can be obtained from your bank and it is advised to get this before you plan to apply in order to avoid delays.
