@bellong

I'm studying Public Health, planning to change to Social Work next semester.

Social worker is on the graduate stream list. If you complete a bachelor or Masters degree in social Work, WA can sponsor you under the graduate stream.

@tunlex01,

Ok.. Thanks

Superted01:


Thank you so much @tunex01 I feel writing TOEFL will be much easier to achieve.
What's the difference between normal and priority processing please.

Priority processing is fast tracked, your assessment can be completed within days while normal may take up to 12 weeks.

@Raymum,

What are you studying? WA also sponsors people who study in the state. Depending on what you are currently studying, there may not be any point running to another state when you can get what you seek where you are.

I am in Perth too.

I'm currently in Aussie on Student Visa (Western Australia), although I plan to move to a uni in regional area next semester.

Where in WA are you?

ajayidebo:
My two cents is for you to search for your occupation using ( https://www.anzscosearch.com/search/ )

What should be best fit for you is; 225311: Public Relations Professional

You need to go through the job description as well as the educational qualification requirements. Once you've determined that the job description fits, further information on how to proceed is on the first page of this thread.

P.S. From my little findings, Australian Capital Territory and New South Wales are actively selecting applications.

VETASSES will ask for it if you don't send it. You need to make effort to get it sent.

@ajayidebo,

The professional qualification will not add any point. Your HND and BSc are enough.

ashaju33:
@bellong thanks. How about telling the CO that i was exempted from tax during NYSC period. Does this sound tenable?

I do know that hundreds of Nigerians have been assessed by EA which means the assessor may likely know what the NYSC year is. If you have any concrete evidence or reason why you are exempted, you can say it.

ashaju33:
@bellong, please i need your advise on this issue. I was contacted by my EA assesor to support my NYSC experience with reference letter and tax certificate which i dont have. I submitted statement of account, discharge certificate and posting letter (photocopy). My NYSC experience is a relevant engineering experience and i want to include it so that i can claim 8 years. Please kindly advise as this is my second time of applying for EA assessment and I intentionally delay this application to this moment hoping that I will include NYSC in order to maximize my point.

The NYSC experience is relevant but doesn't mean you are paid at the appropriate professional level. It is either you pay the tax incurred for the one year at your state's internal revenue or remove the experience. If the assessor will accept that your tax was deducted from source prior to being paid, you can give that excuse.

I can't think of any other way around it.

ajayidebo:
To further add to the above, kindly see South Australia on Insurance Agent 190 visa requirement as at today 02/10/2019

Did you read the comment in the screenshot you provided?

Goodluck bro.

@Ajayidebo,

I hope you have not paid for the assessment? Prior to assessment, it is not enough to check the occupation list, you also have to check if the occupation is sponsored by any state if it is not on 189 list.
I don't think there is any state sponsoring insurance agent. Doing the assessment without a sponsoring state will likely be an exercise in futility.

What is your own occupation?

Theokleia:


Oh I think we’ll pick that instead, but for the principal applicant, I felt he should be the PA cos he’ll fetch us extra 15 points from his work experience compared to my uncoordinated work experiences and from the calculator, there was no extra point for masters and my age only fetched 5 extra points. Or am I wrong?

You are not getting the idea. What occupation is he going to nominate?

Nenyeroz1:


Sir Bellong thanks so much for your help! AITSL is the assessing body, I'm heading to their website immediately!
Also, can I apply for visa 491 with the competent English (6.5) result that I have or should I still write to get higher score?
May God bless you sir.

I didn't put a caveat that getting a minimum of 8 in each band is critical to getting nomination and invitation.

You need to retake the English test.

@Theokleia,

What is the occupation your husband intends to nominate? I am not sure if there is any occupation for a petroleum cargo inspector on the list. The other alternative is to nominate environmental engineering if it is related to what he does.

Going by your information, you will likely be the principal applicant. You don't need experience for a positive assessment as an engineer. You can write the CDR from your undergraduate thesis and industrial attachment.

@nenyeroz1

What does your husband do in the rescue and disaster management?

Based on the information you provided, you are in the better position as the principal applicant. The body assessing Teachers are not keen on paid experience for positive assessment, only that you will not get any points for experience if you cannot proof that you were paid. As long as there is teaching practice in your curriculum, you should get a positive assessment without experience points.

Notwithstanding, you should still be able to get minimum of 65 points and more for the visa 491.

Go to the assessing authority's website for further information.

Tonero123:


Okay bellong, thank you so much for your response.

I will need to ask you again, how does the regional areas in NSW looks like? Are they opportunities there? Thank you

I don't live in NSW, I can't give you any informed advice about it. However, I know that the big regions like Wagga Wagga have thriving economy.

Tonero123:
Hi All,

Can anyone explain why the 189 & 190 invitation is very limited lately? Is they any hope of them increasing the number of invitations at all? It’s really worrisome the limited number of invitations issued lately.

Thank you

The government is trying to cut down the number of migrants trooping to the main cities to reduce population. By November, a new scheme is starting to encourage people to the regional areas. The scheme will have more invitation.

HazelCanny:


I have more than 5 yrs experience after my HR master's qualification in HR..but wanted to use my first degree: LLB in Law for the process...till I hit a brick wall and decided to opt for the latter instead.

Well I am guessing the answer to my question is a YES...Thanks a lot.

It is a yes only if you are the HR manager. The occupation available for HR is HR manager.

HazelCanny:


Hmmmm...I wonder why .. solicitor is one of the skilled professions eligible for 189/190 visa.

It is a long process for lawyers (barristers and solicitors) because you need to be called to the bar in Australia first before PR application. To be called to the bar, you will be required to take some courses in any accredited Australia universities. This is why lawyers don't usually do it.

I don't think anybody can complain because of the peculiar nature of law to each country.

Mbigtime:
Hello Elders in the house,
I just got my ielts result (9777) and want to send my transcript to VETASSETS , I desire to know how much it will cause me for ECA and how to make payment?

What do you mean by ECA?

I believe you can use your Naira card for the amount, it should go through. If it doesn't, if you have a dollar card, you can use it. Other option is, I can help you with the payment and you pay the Naira equivalent.

Have you read information on VETASSES website?

jubrilELsudan:
AUSTRALIA IS AN EXTREMELY RACIST COUNTRY.

THE SOCIETY IN AUSTRALIA IS EXTREMELY RACIST.

THEY HATE BLACK PEOPLE IN AUSTRALIA.

EVEN THE NATIVE BLACK PEOPLE HATES SEEING OTHER BLACK PEOPLE OF AFRICAN ETHNICITY.


AUSTRALIANS ARE EXTREMELY RACIST AND XENOPHOBIC.

THERE ARE LOTS OF PLACES AS A BLACK PERSON YOU CAN'T GO TO CAUSE YOU WILL BE PROFILED AS A CRIMINAL.



AUSTRALIA IS A LAND FOR THE WHITE RACIST AND IT IS THEIR HEADQUARTERS.

You are arrogantly ignorant. Stop commenting on what you know nothing about.

masco131:

Really .... Please kindly explain or can I pm you ?

She wants to study Law in Australia which makes it easy as she would be called to the bar in Australia Post study. This means she doesn't have to go through the hurdles of studying to be called to the bar in Australia which Nigeria trained lawyers will face.

masco131:

Law , Are you going back to Nigeria after your studies? If not sis think am well... Law cant get you PR!!!

This is a misinformation. Law can get her PR.

dubaiprince:
Please i need a candid advice. I am married with three kids (5,3 and 1). I stay in Lagos and my salary is about 10 million per annum with bright chances this will increase yearly in terms of salary reviews and promotions as I work with a big four. In short I can current afford to send my kids to good schools and take care of my family's basic needs. Would it be advisable to take a job offer in Australia (most likely sydney) for 80 to 85k AUD per annum pre-tax and live comfortably there with my family?

This question can only be answered by you. Firstly, you have to understand and establish why you want to relocate. The purpose for your relocation will determine if it is worth the risk.

If the reason you want to relocate is to make fast money, Nigeria is the better option to stay but if you are after quality of life, then Australia has the key. You choose yourself what you want.

That being said, for quality of life, Sydney is not one of the cities I will consider.

As advised, you can keep your job in Nigeria, do PR if you are qualified and can be visiting Australia at will.

If you don't stay in Australia, your PR expires after 5 years and you can apply for Resident Return Visa which is usually approved within days.

shilaz:
Good morning leaders, please it's take Australia embassy how many weeks or months to consider visitors subclass600 visa after biometric done, and can I work with visitors subclass600 for little time that I will arrange money in Australia soon apply for PR or better visa sir/ma

Standard processing time for visitors visa 600 is 19 - 23 days subject to change. However, it could be more, you only have to wait.

NO sir, you are not allowed to work on Visitor's visa. There is high probability that a no further stay condition would be imposed on your visitor's visa if granted.

@Slimy205,

1. Which transcript did you provide when you submitted the application? If you didn't provide any, you should have known that it will be asked.
Necessity is the mother of invention. You have to find a way. You should be entitled to a student copy of your transcript. Go to exams and records to ask.

2. You can go to the internal revenue to pay the tax for the year in question.

Rozaay:
Bellong and others, please your assistant here is highly appreciated

The first thing you need to do is read the thread. You will get answer to most of your questions.

Secondly, pharmacy is a long process. When you read the requirements for assessment on the pharmacy assessing body's website, you will understand what I mean.

I advise you try Canada but if you have the patience, you can continue the process with Australia.

erickjany:

Thank you sir for your reply
Is it the experience in Materials and Metallurgical Engineering or the one i had as a marketer in insurance. Which is the one i will use for the CDR?
Sir Bellong pls check your email, i sent you message.
God bless you more sir!
I really appreciate your help here.

Only EA requests for CDR, so you can't use marketing experience while assessing as a metallurgical engineer. You have to use the engineering experience.

Sorry bro, your questions can be answered here.

erickjany:
@Bellong and other good fellows on this thread.
Pls what are my chances to be successful on this Aussie journey.
1. My first degree was materials and metallurgical engineer.

2. Working now as an a marketer in a reputable insurance company for 4yrs now.

How is my chances to be successful?
Pls answer so that I can start to be prepared for the next draw.
Thanks my beloved Bellong!

Yes, you can use the experiences you highlighted to write your CDR.

Pls is it possible for someone that studied Mechanical Engineering in Uni access as Mechanics for PR as it’s on high priority list (on demand)?

If you have experience in motor mechanic, you can assess as a mechanic.

Keep apologizing in words and deeds

Also pray to whatever you believe in to soften her heart and heal her.

You can also cuddle her and pray for her healing too.

To be told that the very foundation of your marriage is a lie...... Is huge!

Happy new year.. How are you? Quite a long time.
