Hello Gurus,

Please I have BSc & MSc in Demography and Social Statistics From Obafemi Awolowo University and I have been working in a transport and logistics company for 6 years. I also have IELTS result of 7.0 Overall..... Please how can I evaluate my degrees?

What have you been working as? Which occupation on the list is related to your experience?

wisdom4today:
It is post degree work experience.

The 2 years as a technician is the first job after nysc.

After the 2 years experience, the second experience ( 6 yrs ) is an engineer experience ( was a promotion in same company )

If it is same company, you can use the experience. You just need to rearrange your CV.

macfaded:
@bellong, thanks sir, 6 yrs was approved for my work assessment but I only saw option for 3,5 and 8 yrs.

I don't understand what you mean by your question but I can deduce what the question means. You should pick 5 years because years of experience above 5 but less than 8 carry same points. Your 6 years experience sits in the 5 year block.

Hello everyone,

Quick one. Is it late to start processing for 190 or 189 subclass? I intend to submit my Engineer Australia assessment application in two weeks time. All things being equal I can get 75points , as i have 3 yrs engineering experience and I’m under 30

Or should I chill for the 491?

Kindly advice

There is no point waiting. The earlier you submit for assessment, the better.

Only 489 will be replaced, 190 will still continue.

@dayod12,

The last part of your comment is unnecessary because you agreed to be paid by hand when you joined the company.

You can get an affidavit from your employer explaining you were paid cash when you started working with them. They will include why they were paying you cash and when they starter paying to your bank account.

You will get employment reference letter detailing your current job descriptions to show what you currently do.

If you cannot provide evidence of payment for your work experience, your experience may likely be cut to the years you have evidence. The other option is to pay your tax out of pocket. You can visit the Inland revenue officer of your state for more information.

starboychan:
Good evening everyone,

I'm a graduate of Civil Engineering from unilorin with about 3years experience as project engineer ( please note that I have always been paid in cash ). I'm willing to commence my immigration process as soon as possible but the challenge I'm having now is that I don't know where to start.


Please kindly advice me accordingly on what to do, looking forward to hearing from you guys.

Regards

If you read the thread, you will understand where you need to start from.

wisdom4today:
Now, my question is that I have an official 6 years experience as an engineer ( from my employment letter ), and 2 years experience as technician in the same engineering field, before becoming an engineer.

Would both the 2 years and the 6 years amount to the required 8 years needed to claim the maximum points for experience? Will engineers Australia accept a combination of both to amount to the 8 years required?

The two years, is it pre or post-degree qualification?

ajayidebo:
Good morning ladies and gentlemen. Quick question, how do one knows what TIER their institution falls under using Australia standard. I.e. Lagos State Polytechnic and Joseph Ayo Babalola University

Lagos State Polytechnic - Advanced Diploma.

JABU - Depends on number of years of your degree.. A 4 year course will likely be Associate degree.

Ozame:
Thanks for the info. Yes the nomination is from the same occupation list but the institution is a Tier 2 university (if I got you right, You said a 4 year degree is classified as Tier 2) I will check out the Earth science technician as u suggested thanks
.

Which university is it?

flaky16:
Good day everyone. I am new on here. Pls i need help on how to go about my assessment.
How i will send my transcript and certificate. God bless you.

What you need to do is read thread.

Ozame:
@ Bellong, can someone with a third class degree in Geology from a Fed University with at least three years experience get a positive result from Vetasses ? This is just to claim point for spouse skills .

The skills assessment does not care about the class of degree applicants graduated with. The key point is if the Federal University is classified as a Tier 1 university.

For spouse point, are you nominating occupation from the same occupation list?

If her Federal university is classified as a Tier 2 university, it is better your spouse nominates Earth science technician.

tunlex01:
Cool.
I thought the 489 also allows one to stay in any regional area since the requirements for 887 is work and live in a regional area.

With 489, you have to apply for a release from your regional sponsor before you can move to another regional area. The new 491, there is no need for any application.

macfaded:
Hello, I need some clarification on the second question. Will i answer Yes ?

If part of your work experience was approved during assessment, the answer will be yes.

I do not understand how you guys manifest the fruit of the spirit with the attitude you display here.

Despite the claim of knowledge of the scriptures, yet you can't show basic courtesy and respect for each other. Comparing scriptures with scriptures shouldn't be done with insults and jabs, it is not Christ-like. Such behaviour is filled with strife and desire to be heard.

It is good to educate each other but when it is filled with insults, side jabs, it is no longer education or admonishment but fleshly desire to show superiority.

We are not so learned of Christ. Please if you cannot discuss without insult or name-calling, there is no point to hold such discussion.

Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
2 Corinthians 3:6 KJV


Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. But if any man love God, the same is known of him.
1 Corinthians 8:1‭-‬3 KJV

What killed this thread Belong?
Good morning

Exchange rate..

moscow30:
After Calculating the months, I will be having complete eight years of working experiences in April 2020. Do I need to wait for the next eight month before claiming the point?

It is strictly your decision if you want to wait for 8 months to claim experience points or you want to apply now.

I can't make that decision for you.

tunlex01:
Thanks for the clarification, although there will always be loophole (s) to exploit. I was only wondering why they wouldn't want one to get married simply because one is holding a visa. We'll see how it goes by November 16.

In another news, I received commencement email for CO allocation yesterday.

As long as the marriage will not take you away from the regional area before 3 years, they are fine with it.

The 491 regional scheme is better as it offers the opportunity to move to any regional area across Australia without restriction.

tunlex01:
I'm not sure I read the bolded part in the legislation. It was only other PR visa that was stated not partner visa. Please reconfirm
@bellong

Yes, partner visa was not stated in the legislation. However, the legislation provides for additional conditions to be included when it takes effect.

The purpose of this new visa is to push people to the regional areas. Home Affairs know that a lot of people especially singles will want to circumvent the process by applying for partner visa to move to the City. I wouldn't be surprised if this condition is added to the visa when it kicks off.

Jewingle:
I studied petroleum engineering in Ghana (4years) please I want to know if this counts as tier one or two. Also 90% of schools oversees is 4 years. Does it affect in anyways considering the tier one and two. Lastly what’s my best shot applying for a pr. I have no work experience

The tier 1 and 2 is with respect to Nigeria. It is different for other countries.

Your best shot applying is to apply. You can write your CDR as either a petroleum engineer or chemical engineer. Go to Engineer Australia website for further information and also read the thread.

@OgaBellong
Please, House I want more clarification on boosting my points. In March 2017 my assessment with Vetasses was positive with 5.1 years of work experience as a chemist. can I resubmit my outcome letter for reassessment to add the additional two years and 9month on the same occupation? This will give me additional 15points.
I need a respond house.

You don't need to resubmit as long as you are still in the same occupation. Create EOI, add your skill date from when VETASSES approved till date.

yungmin:
Please, I want to make a payment of 100AUD to a university. Could anybody help with an idea of GTbank naira account rate? or would it be better to fund and use my dollar account? Thanks

Get in touch.

MuttleyLaff:
I quoted you because you asked if the Book of Enoch is demonic or not so responded you. You also mentioned Jude verse 14 and that you have not read the book though, so I gave you a brief background with the Titus verse and shared my experience of and with the Book of Enoch. I don't think anything I did necessitated you being hostile, defensive and spoiling ready for a fight and/or confrontation. I don't know what got you rattled or why you got the hump. Rhetoric, calling, not rhetoric, rhetoric. Sheesh, who needs.... Too many plastics about.

Go ahead, go read and enjoy the Book of Enoch.

You need to go back and read, this time slowly.

@MuttleyLaff,

I don't understand what you are on about. I suppose including me in your rhetorics is mistaken me for someone else.

Quoting scriptures doesn't amount to knowledge my brother. You can be bothered with the letters, I will be bothered with the Spirit that gives life to the letters.

God bless you.

CodeTemplar:
This book of Enoch isn't it like "Seven books of Moses"? Is it safe for a believer to read?

I don't think it is demonic. It is one of those non-canonical books. Jude made reference to it from verse 14.

I have not read the book though.

EnthronedbyGod:
Gud morning sir..please am sorry for not getting back to u since,i was
just trying to be sure of what am experiencing since then,right now i
just cant believe myself, i just cant believe i'm the one that used to
masturbate regularly before because i cant explain the kind of hatred
i have for masturbation now...cuz before even when i dont watch any
pornographic video or picture i will still be masturbating ,especially
when taking my bath the feeling was too strong that i couldn't
control,even when i swear and promised God and myself that i will
never masturbate again,before the end of that day i will find myself
doing it again and after doing it will be asking myself in regret what
have i done...but glory be to Almighty God cuz i beleive it over now,i
realy dont know how to appreciate u now but may the Almighty God that
u serve continue to strenghten u spiritualy and physicaly..i never
knew that i wil ever pause masturbation for weeks



That's the testimony. As I'm pasting this my eyes are filled with tears of joy

To God be the glory for the great deliverance of his soul and spirit.

God bless you bro.

oyetpel:
Why do you propose Chemistry technician over Chemist?

Chemistry technician is a skill level 2 occupation. Your degree from UNILORIN will be assessed as equivalent of an AQF Associate degree which is lower than required level for a Chemist.

Chemist is a skill level 1 occupation and required your degree to be assessed as AQF Bachelor not Associate. If you want to nominate Chemist, the program from UNILORIN must be five years or you have a Masters degree. It is what it is with VETASSES.

We are trying to challenge some of these things but yet to get anyone that will volunteer to be part of it.

Is it easy to get good assessment for Chemistry technician than Chemist?

Refer to the above

Because i checked and Chemistry technician does not have 189 visa, and cannot be sponsored by family under 489.

This assertion is not right. It is listed under SLTSS list, it is available for family sponsorship. Do you have family to sponsor you?

Maybe things will change when 491 visa kicks in...

Everybody is waiting for that to happen.

And can i apply immediately after graduation, knowing i won't have any experience points?

No sir, you can't. You need at least one year post-qualification experience to get a positive assessment.

ukcatlover:
If you are a father you can come is free. You will meet lots of Nigerians here in Perth on this day

Nice, I should be able to attend this event all things being equal.

Unlimited22:
Oga bellong, in spite of the day to day activities of your life, and the fact that you have a family, you still take it upon yourself to respond to as many queries as you can. Personally. No matter how silly or outlandish they are.


I don't know whether you are a theist, but God will bless you. Thank you very much.

Amen. I am a theist.

If you are married, your spouse may be in the better position to go through the Australian migration.

tunlex01:
One thing about Vetassess is that even if your degree is not highly relevant, your years of experience will be reduced in lieu of the qualification. Since you did a 5 year course, you will only lose at least 3 years of experience as long as your job descriptions of the occupation you are nominating are well aligned to what Vetassess wants.

If your job descriptions do not tally with what they want, coupled with a non-relevant degree, that's an automatic negative. If you have more than 4 years experience, please give it a shot.

For a lot of occupations, VETASSES does not accept experience in lieu of qualification if the qualification is not highly relevant.

tunlex01:
This is good. Everyone that went through Vetassess got at least 1 year deducted. Mine was deducted too, I guess it's their standard.

They do it for all occupation but it is not consistent with the Migration ACT 1958 as amended and ANZSCO requirements for some occupations.

If you don't mind sharing it, you can get in touch.
