emly001:@tunlex01 mentioned. Tax clearance is not a compulsory requirement for you assessment. however You should approach LIRS or FIRS office depending on your location. you will be required to remit all unpaid tax amount covering the employment period you intend to claim. |

jekky83: With ACS, The matter complex but let me try to explain. You need to have more than 3 years of exp for a good chance for a positive assessment. Lets say it turns out postive and they only deduct 2yrs, the 1yr left equals 0 point. Please refer to their website for the Assessment matrix so you can understand the above better. In my opinion, kindly consider going in as an electrical engineer w/o experience. your profile is good for 190 and 489 . only caveat is a water tight CDR so you don't get Engineering Technologist from EA Age: 30 Ed 15 Eng 20 (no stories) 65 raw score |

funshobabs:' I will suggest you try Engineering Australia and nominate Mech Engineer. Seeing that you have no experience in engineering, you won't have enough points to compete for 189 however you will be able to roll with 190 or 489 but strong advantage for 489 Age: 30 (turns to 25 the day you turn 33, hope that's still far away) Ed: 15 Eng: 20 (non negotiable) total 65pt 3 Likes |

luvluvluv: GreenMavro: while this is an option and you may scale through with assessment. this may be dangerous when applying for visa. some CO's have been know to run whois on websites. Does the company have a working number and email? Does google search return any information on the company that tallys with letterhead information? If the above is yes. you are good to go |

Touchdown: Nov 7th, Immigration was a breeze, they only asked for yellow card,Passport and grant letter. the only food item seized was my sweet fried snail . below is the list of my permitted foodstuff and everything was packed in transparent zip lock bags with labels on it Garri. Crayfish (grinded) Pepper soup spice Panla (stockfish) Shea butter Coconut oil (frozen) Smoked catfish Smoked shawa/agbodo/bonga fish ( peeled, no head) Chilli pepper (ata gigun) Cassava flour (Amala white) Yam flour (Amala black) Potash (koun) Melon (egusi) Water leave (sun dried) seeds are not allowed Ugwu Leaves aka pumpkin ( diced and sun dried) Pap (compressed to dry) Maggie cubes Tomato paste Herbs ( powdered and sun dried the fresh ones) Drugs ( over the counter ones.. paracetamol, cough syrup (no codeine), Robb, non prescription pain killers, drugs for kids if you have one, no malaria or typhoid drugs (treat before you move) Emirates had delayed my baby car seat luggage, my pickup car could not carry my baby, had to breeze down to a store and fork out AUD200 for a new one. the other option is to call the cab company to send a cab with baby seats (this is something I discovered much later). INITIAL ACCOMMODATION: I had booked an Airbnb with high proximity to the CBD for two weeks before arrival, this made it easy for me to get around and hit the ground running. NETWORKING: I reached out to everyone I know in Australia and the support was and is still quite overwhelming, via phone: bellong, vinsmuft,misoke,yeeshas,tosin, mctowel,olalekankd In person: zoew, doyen06, bnimz, jamson, iceberg54. I don't want to bore you with all the details of meet but it was awesome from ice cold coffee to pure blondes and burgers .......hahahahahaa GETTING A JOB On the 9th, I attended my 1st face to face interview which was I was lucky to lockdown b4 arrival, because I had starting pushing my CV in Nigeria about 2 weeks to arrival.once I updated my CV with Australian number on arrival, I had more calls from recruiters Friday for potential opportunities. (Just to say it lightly, I owe much thanks to doyen06 for the excellent tips and strategies that led up to this) By Monday 12th, I was invited for a follow up interview on Tuesday morning, and b4 end of day, I got an offer letter for the position. Oluwa lose oooo.. It was a Full time and permanent role with nice perks. The week was pretty much overwhelming with calls and I got other casual/ temporary offers too but I decided to stick with the Permanent role. PERMANENT ACCOMMODATION getting a house here is like telemarketing, no be beans but its fun and interesting. Most inspections happen on weekends and so many apartments of interest usually have clashing inspection times and each open house usually lasts for 15 mins and you better not miss it (no African time here ooo). I checked houses in Liverpool, Strathfield, lindfied but decided to settle for a two West Ryde due to proximity to work. Thanks to Bnimz for the lovely tour of Liverpool, I love the communal feel the suburb has to offer and everything you need is just a walk away. There are various mobile apps to help with rentals and inspection booking. Most common : tenantapp, 2book. com. au and domain. com .au mobile apps to schedule inspection. It may save you some energy to fill your rental profile from offshore with 1form and t-app for submission of rental application . ( the form long pass river Niger) Getting Around: It's very easy to get around easy with the trains and buses but it makes the journey longer due to many stops. Google maps, Opal mobile app, Tripview Lite, caters for the all the information required on the routes, buses, trains,ferry and brooms. I have survived so far without a car but it sure makes journey easier and shorter. Funny thing here is that most office in the sydney CBD no get car park, so no point bringing car to work except you have the about 40 dollar a day to fork out. I must say the transport system in Sydney needs some improvement as seen in singapore,Uk, tokyo and japan. I heard Melbourne has the best in Australia, very connected and faster commute time. Everything here is on the clock. Calendar and Alarm na your friend Biggest culture shock for me is the high level of politeness from everyone I have met so far.

vikmeek: You have done your homework already. Age is 30 Ed: 15 Exp: 5 or 0 Eng: 20 is the best PURSUE YOUR PR NOW NOW There are upcoming changes to the PR visa which may not be too pleasant. You don't even need up to AUD10,000 to land the PR in a about 7 to 12 months based on the current processing time. Assesment inclusive. As to whether you can pay your tuition fees as a student. It's not impossible but you have to work through your nose, super prudent and sometimes defer some courses. When you are done with studies you still have to apply for same PR for continuity in OZ. As a student, you have limited work hours right and running expense. Visit the Australian student thread for better insights 4 Likes |
