Please as a novice, which of the visas am I eligible for 🙏
Have you read at least the first 10 pages of the thread? If you did, the answer you seek lies in there.

I think your current worry should be sorting out the skills assessment. You can apply for any of the visa depending on the points you can get.

Please tell me about this primary healthcare manager pathway. I have a vast experience in this area
If you go to VETASSES' website, there are instructions to follow and the requirements to fulfill to get a positive assessment.

Thanks for replying, the whole process is handled by my agent. And that was what he told me, that it should be out within 6 weeks, which has elapsed
No agent has control over visa approval or when it will be approved. Telling you within 6 weeks is out of place. It doesn't mean it will not be approved within the timeframe but letting you know that he is giving you a timeline over what he doesn't have control.

About applying through the education route, it’s extremely expensive I’m hoping there’s some level of certainty if everything’s prepared properly. Out of 10 what do you think are you chances if fees and every monetary issue is covered properly
If you are above 35, education is not attractive anymore because the Government no longer grants post study visa to those above 35 years old.

To buy time, you will do Masters and then proceed to PhD till you can finalise PR or other work visa.

My friend is moving to Australia next week with a tourist visa, he is going for an Agricultural conference and may wish to convert to a work visa if possible when he gets there. Is it possible?
If his visa has a "No further stay" condition on it, his only option is to leave at the end of the conference or visa expiry date.

Please will VITASSESS assess an MSc and PhD from Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, equivalent to that obtained from Australia?
PhD should be able to get equivalent depending on the content of your program. Years of completion and the course work before thesis.

I have with both Lagos and Ogun state. In Lagos they said it would appear as self employment because the business isn't in their database, while in Ogun state they said it has to appear as self employment or they'd have to audit the business, and they'd have to fine them like half a million for each year my tax wasn't filed.
Tax clearance is not a compulsory requirement though. A third party evidence of salary payment is important. So you can provide your bank statement showing salary payment and your pension statement.

Good evening Chief, I have tried over the past couple of weeks to solve the tax issues to no avail, they keep saying if I want to file it myself, it would be tagged self employed. I really don't know how to go about this.
I'll appreciate suggestions on how to deal with this.
Which state are you doing it from?

Usually the State Internal revenue allows you to remit the tax if your employer hasn't done so.

Alternatively, you can ask your employer to give you your tax remittance or deduction value and use it to pay at the internal revenue service.

This is just to encourage someone here and also to thank the pioneer of this group, Mr Bellong. I stumbled on this group as at late 2016 and I followed it diligently. It took me time and I overcame different obstacles with time. Today, I am an Australian citizen, something I didn’t have in mind as at early 2016. If you have what it takes, go the skilled visa route. You will be happy you did at the end.✌️
Congratulations bro

You have qualification and experience as a fitter mechanic ? Mate, that is a gold mine you are sitting on.

Read the thread, do you assessment with TRA and get the Australia migration going.

Once you have positive assessment from TRA, you can check www.seek.com.au to apply for fitter mechanic position. You may get company that will sponsor you.

I hope you are all well.

Could you please assist with a sample or template EOI for ICT-related fields(ICT Customer Officer/System Admin or Network Engineer)

You are much appreciated. my email is uniteckxolu@gmail.com for reference

Can you please assist me with the above.

Thank you
EOI or job descriptions?

If it is EOI, you will have to create one yourself on skillselect after you have done skill assessment and English test. It is like filling a form.

If it is job descriptions, Google ANZSCO job descriptions for the occupation to give you guidance on writing yours.

Boss, please I need your opinion here.

I'm 42, and my wife turned 31 this week Monday. We also have 7 months old baby.

Cos of her age, I feel she should be the primary applicant. She has upper credit HND in Industrial Safety Technology from Petroleum Training Institute Nigeria (2016), and 2nd class upper degree in Occupational Health, Safety and Environment from Middlesex University, London (2018).

Problem is she's working as a data analyst in one foreign organisation in Nigeria after finishing a program in data analysis since safety work wasn't forthcoming.

From the skill occupation list, I saw 'Occupational health and safety Adviser". And she meets the requirements except for work experience in that field.

Here is my question specifically: An uncle of hers who has a dredging license is willing to issue her a backdated job offer letter with payslip (note that his company is not really functional for some 3 years now). Another friend of mine who is into real estate is also willing to offer the same favour. Please, do you think it will scale through or what do you advise, my boss?

Also, her professional membership certification like NEBOSH Int'l general certificate do you think it will increase her chances?

It's stated in the anzsco that registration or licensing may be required. What do they mean by that, please?

Thanks

What is your own occupation?

I wouldn't advice you do an arrangee experience. It is not right.
Secondly, a thorough CO will surely find out.

Good day House,
Please, I need your direction on the best pathway and assessing body I can choose.

I am 41years and i have my masters degree in process engineering and degree in chemical engineering.
I have over 7years work experience as a maintenance planner.

I am married and my wife is 33years has a degree in library and information science and and over 5years experience in administrative operations with a Nigeria company with no proof of payslips and tax details.

But, I can show all my documents.

Please, which is the best pathway and assessing body for me?

I will be glad to hear from our experts.

Thank you
Your wife would have been the better applicant based on her age. Unfortunately, she doesn't have the requisite documents and experience to push through.

For you, check the occupation list to find one that aligns with your experience.

Hello guys @tunlex01 @bellong

Following the advise from this platform. I have applied for assessment and it came back positive.
My total score From calculations at this point include assement and current English test which should expire 2025 February equals 75points and if I get nominated by a state, that’s should bring total score to 80points.

However I am stuck between applying for EOI or applying for another English test and aim for superior points to bring my total score including nomination to 90points. As my previous English score of proficient.


Please advise on this.
Please note that I am onshore studying in Sydney.

Also let’s assume I express with what I have currently, can I Update the results when I get a better English score?


Also can I apply for multiple states at thesame time?
You can fill EOI while still preparing for another English test. You can update your EOI with the new result if you have not received an invitation.

Yes, you can apply for multiple states. However, States may overlook you if they noticed you are choosing other states too. What you can do is create different EOI for the states of your interest.

When I set up a company, I will have a room set up specifically for power nap. I discussed this sometimes ago with my colleagues. I told them that I will ensure every employee gets a 15 - 20 minutes nap when required daily.
There is magic in a short nap, makes you feel very refreshed and ready for another task.

HR should be the one to champion it.
