Haba, how can you be this wicked? Double quote despite the OP wrote that nobody should quote the epistle..

Only to write " which visa did you migrate with"..

Fear God oo

aussy4life:
@ Bellong is it advisable to send a mail to Home affairs requesting for visa update? or i should just keep mute and wait .

Thank you.

Although they will give you the generic response of it is still under processing, there is no harm in contacting them. If you are lucky to get a cheerful one on phone, you may know if it is being delayed due to security check.

I will advice you call than email

Hello,
I am Builder and I intend to do PR,please where do I get the requirements to have a permanent residence as a Builder .

Thanks

All the information you need are in the opening page of the thread

jimohabdo:
I studied Electrical/Electronics Engineering (ND/HND) and i work as an IT Assistant for an automobile company since 2013.

IT assistant? What do you do as an IT assistant?

Check the anzsco descriptions for electrician and electrical technician. If what you do fits any of the two, you can use your OND to assess under any of the two.

FCCA2012:
Thanks
Please, does it mean he MUST have work experience in order for me to be able to claim partner point ?

It is dependent on the assessing body. To claim partner's point, the partner must have a positive skills assessment.

@FCCA2012,

Skills assessment is for both qualification and experience. He has to assess the two in the same occupation list as yours.

2. You can still put EOI for both 189 and 190.

jimohabdo:

Thanks

Spyroxy1,

Share the good news na...

Noreal:
Thanks boss.

I'm actually torn between shipping down my stuffs or getting them over there based on the cost effectiveness of the available options. Are there used home appliances markets in Melbourne?

Please i need your opinions

Thanks

Gumtree
Salvo stores
OP shops
Australian Red Cross stores.


You can always get good used appliances from those places. For gumtree, you must test the appliance before taking it home to avoid son story.

I am not sure it is economically viable to ship your stuff. You can compare the cost.

DIOVINI:
pls somebody should help me out. I want to start the process.

Your student copy is enough. You can upload it online after paying for the assessment fee.

You probably should nominate Electrical Engineer. I don't know EA fees.

Noreal:
Hi,

Please can anyone advise on any online electronic and household store in Melbourne.

Thanks

Harvey Norman

The good guys.

Cash converters

Kmart

Dypswtch:
Good day everyone, please i need some help and advice. I just EA positive assessment yesterday(21st FEB,2018). I have IELTS- 7.5 overall and i also would be 25years old on 14th March,2018. Please can someone advice me on my next line of action. Thanks.

EA Assessment - Electronics Engineer.

Rewrite the English test for a band score that will award you 20 points.. 8 in each band for IELTS or 79 in PTE.

zibe:
Something of that sort. It says since the experience is not up to 12 months yet from when I became an ACA (May 2017), it can't be assessed.

Oh.. maybe the accountants that assessed with other bodies can give better opinion on what to do.

@Zibe,

Did the report says your experience will not be recognised?

@TRed,

Congratulations...

@Happy4lucy,

1. Depends on what you want. If you have more important luggage to carry, it is better to free the space for what you can buy here. Clothes are expensive, however, you can still get cheap good clothes. Depending on the quality you want, for everyday clothes you can buy from Kmart, BigW, Target, Salvo stores, Op shops. For average quality you can buy from Rivers, Ed Harry. For upper average, Connors (Men only), Meyers, David Jones etc.
Summary is, you can always find something that meets your needs and taste.

2. Yes.. most food stuff are allowed as long as you label them and declare them. That being said, some states will not allow you to bring in beans except you can proof it doesn't have the weevil. Also anything that has bark of a tree is not allowed in.

3. No clarity on what you want us to say about it.

4. There are mosquitoes but there is no anopheles mosquito which transmits the malaria parasite. You may come with malaria drug to clear your system of malaria residue.

@Koph,

I second the opinion of Catchdwrdfrmkd.

@Onizea,

It is better to bring important things than clog your baggage allowance with stuff you can easily get here. You can get all the school accessories at a cheap price here, no need to bring them. Go to Kmart, BigW, cheap as chips or reject shop to buy those stuff.

ebere272:
Hello,everyone i just got a positive assessment fo r Engineering Manager with Aim and no years reduced.

thanks everyone
cc bellong and the everyone.

That's good news. You are the first person I see on the thread with positive assessment as an engineering manager.

Fill the EOI immediately if you have done English test.

Jbelieve:
Please is it possible to pay vetassess fees with GT master card.

As long as the fee does not exceed the dollar limit set by GTbank

ZoeW:
And indeed I was next!
Visa granted 9 February 2018!!!
Too excited to post my timelines!!!

Congratulations mate... All the best

@Fizzile,

The first thing is to identify the occupation you intend to nominate on the list. Then check if it is being sponsored by any state. Once this is done, you can proceed to the next stage of assessment.

Since you have MSc in Environmental management, you should add it to support your application. It is better that way than gambling with only the BSc.

As per salary payment, unlike previous years, home affairs are now serious about employment verification. You should get payslip from your company and if possible a tax document or pension fund statement as a third party document.

I wonder why companies still pay cash in this age of seamless banking. Not only putting their employees and cashier at risk of being robbed on pay day, the stress of moving cash is enough to give the custodian high BP.

@timikenzo2,

Congratulations mate.....

@Mumzt,

If you got 8 in each band, there is no point rewriting the IELTS. The academic module can also be used.

SallyAUS:
Please @Bellong I'd like to ask? are skilled nominated PR ( i.e on 189, 190) allowed to start businesses. Thank you

Everybody with the right to live and work in the country can start any business of his choice. No restrictions whatsoever.

^^^

We are actually saying the same thing. I have not and will not talk down on a country. However, a country is not just a geographical entity, it is the people that are there.

If your complain is about the doctors which is the same as the medical services that I referred to. The doctors and other medical professionals are those offering the medical services.

How many people can afford to pay for the services offered in those good private clinics or hospitals? Basic quality medical services should be available to all irrespective of the size of pocket. If doctors in government hospitals in Nigeria misbehave without control, how does that help your course of campaign? Shouldn't something have been done to check it if it is a society where things work?

The doctors are not different from an average person on the street which is why some have out of the world expectations of another society.

I believe you got my point about not comparing the two countries. Once again, it is not everybody that is leaving for economic prosperity. There are so many Nigerians living here who choose not to work or start a business here because they have a thriving business in Nigeria. They are here to enjoy the quality of life in a sane society while they make their money where they want.

By comparing menial jobs in Nigeria with a sane society is not fair on yourself. Majority work to be able to put food on their table and also provide for their family. There is dignity in labour in this society, it doesn't matter what you do, you will be treated with respect as long as you not defrauding others. The director of your company cannot look down on you because you are a cleaner except he is willing to lose his position. The pay is enough to cater for everything you need and still have savings. How many cleaners, factory workers etc living in Nigeria have enough to pay rent and other utilities and still have savings?

If people choose to do those jobs outside Nigeria, it is their choice as long as they are happy with what they are doing. I know people who are doing such jobs not because of the money but because they like it. I know the son of a very wealthy person who chose to be a truck driver because he loves it.

If by tomorrow those menial jobs become financially viable, I believe thousands of graduate wouldn't mind doing them in Nigeria. It is the money they offer that discourage people not because they can't do it. Typical example, when Dangote advertised for truck drivers, PhD holders applied because of the remuneration attached.

On a final note, always make contributions about a thing when you are adequately informed about it.

Cheers

@Pidgin2,

You have mentioned isolated cases of conquest which is not restricted to any race.
If you know your history, you will understand that within Africa, minority had conquered the majority in the past. Empires have risen and fallen in the past and will still rise and fall in the future. Why are the minority still not in control in the countries you listed?

Things can only go on as long as people don't kick against it.

You took the statement out of context. In any given society, the majority dominates the minority if the minority allows it.

Why I am exchanging posts with you which I usually don't do is to put things in perspective to you and others who may be in your situation.

I will repeat this, Racism, tribalism, discrimination and prejudice are social issues which are part of human existence irrespective of colour or orientation. Across the world, there are too many cases of racism, high scale tribalism, prejudice etc in every country. To expect a society free of them is to have an unrealistic expectations. Show me one single country that is free of any of these social issues and I will bring up numerous data to counter it.

If someone is leaving his country to a place where his group is the minority and expects that there wouldn't be discrimination, that person should rather go to heaven than traveling around the world. We cannot help it as humans, it will surely occur.

Mind you the racism we are talking about here in this country is subtle and not the 18th century racism you have been described. I live in the city which probably has the lowest number of Nigerians and I have not experienced the type of racism you have described.

Before I lose focus of the message, what I am saying is that nobody has described Australia to be heaven or a country without any social or political issues but if you want to live in a reasonable society where quality of life is important to you, Australia is one of the countries to consider. The problem with you and others in your group believe everybody is leaving the country for economic prosperity. Life is more than money my sister. In my experience of living in different societies, Nigeria does not come close to a society with decency.

I read one of your threads where you are complaining about how bad Nigerian doctors are. I believe most of your comments here are just denial of the truth. In a sane society, patients are treated with respect and best care rendered. If Nigeria is all what you claim it is, you should be content with the medical services.

I have enjoyed good medical service at a very cheap cost and also treated with respect by medical professionals. You can't say the same.

Like I said previously, the writer's experience in Melbourne is his experience which I respect but it is not an invitation for you to compare sanity with insanity.

Thank you.

Pidgin2:
I agree with your post, you created this thread so that people can share their experiences about living in Australia, Mr. Adeyinkasegun shared his experience but most people couldn't take it, it wasn't what they expected so they began to insult him for it

Anybody comparing racism to tribalism us just living in denial.

As for businesses, how many of you own thriving businesses over there?

I'm signing off

Better you sign off.

When you have no information or knowledge about a place, you shouldn't offer your opinion.

I need not tell you the number of business owners both professional or otherwise.

To give you a simple tutorial, the country is different from Nigeria.

Registering a business is as simple as spelling your own name. No long bureaucratic process involved. All you need is an internet to register your business online and you get Australian Business Number immediately.

There are hundreds of Nigerian business owners, clinics, services centres, stores across the country.

AdeyinkaSeun did not solicit for your help to defend him. He defended himself. People who insulted him may have gone over the board for the insults but that didn't give you the right to offer opinions based on ignorance.

Still comparing racism with tribalism is sad. It shows your depth of knowledge of social issues and how it affects individual's psyche.

When foreigners with different colour walks on the street of Lagos, how many people stare at them? Some insulting in their different languages yet they don't scream racism. It is when you leave your own comfort zone and same is done, you start to scream racism.

If at this age, you don't know that in any society, the majority will always try to take advantage or oppress the minority, then you need a lot of life's lessons.

Tribalism is different from racism yet in Nigeria, military was used against a pressure group of a particular tribe while miscreants from another tribe are left to waste innocent souls.

I understand you want to be patriotic but what you are doing is not patriotism. You cannot be more patriotic Nigerian than or up to some of us.

If you have any meaningful contribution aside comparing Nigeria, you can share it, if not take to your advice and don't add to what you have already written.

@Pidgin2,

I think I have to respond to your comeback.

For a start, this thread is for people to share their experiences about settling down in Australia and not for pro or pan African campaign. It will be better you leave your campaign for Nigeria aside and let this thread serve its purpose.

Your comparison of racism and tribalism has ignorance written all over it. Your assertions are lame about racism and tribalism. Both are social issues that affect psychology of anyone who has experienced it irrespective of how hard they pretend not to be affected.

Who says people of different race are not allowed to open business or allowed to go to the best school?

Comparing the data speed of Nigeria with that of Australia is the height of your joke.

Could you please take your campaign outside of this thread. If there is need for a debate about why Nigeria is a better place to live than Australia, you can open a new thread for it.

Thank you.

@Alore,

I am not sure what EA will do in your case. I don't know if they will take experience in lieu of qualification. Maybe you should send an email to EA.
