Bros please take a look at my questions too and respond.. Na beg i beg

PPE triple honours, I guess you finished from Ife.

Since your profession is not on the occupation list, study option is another alternative available to you.

However, many people just believe once you study you automatically get a PR or the process is easier than applying straight. First, your course of study must be on the list, after your study apart from EA, you must get at least a year experience from the nominated occupation before you can get a positive assessment.

What study does is give you 5points.

For community service, aged care, youth worker, you only need AQF qualification for the occupation. If you want to do diploma, you can look into diploma in Youth work, lot of job opportunities there across the state or Diploma in Family, child and youth intervention or so..

Nursing is also a very good choice.

My advice is make sure whatever course you choose is on any of the occupation list and there are states sponsoring it.

Hello good people,
Please I read online that the standard of living in Australia is crazy and that one might find it difficult to save compared with other countries, please how true is this as I am trying to prepare my mind. Please any first hand information will be appreciated from new migrants. Please help a sister with average costs of commodities and cheapest cities in ozzie. Thanks

Where do you people get "dem say" from?

If you can't save while you are at home, you wouldn't save if you are abroad irrespective of the country.

If you have read the thread, you would have seen that this question has been answered before.

Yes you can save and no you can't save. It depends on how flamboyant you want to live. Nothing stops you from saving.

HUUUÑMMMMMMMM!!!!!!
STILL WONDERING. Uppn all pleading begging ok this thread. no one is yhere4 to bring teachers issue to limelight. upon series of messages. ha! techers has No hope on this thread o. very sad

How will someone advice you on what he/she has no knowledge about?
If you have read the thread well, you wouldn't be asking this question as it is general And not specific to any occupation.

If you need information about teachers, check the skill list for the teaching position you are after, then read the requirements on the assessing authority's website.

Not until people are spoon-fed would they be able to do something simple as reading.

Congratulations sir..

May the union be blessed... You have come a long way.

Affliction will not arise a second time.

Regards.

Any 476 visa hopeful ?

Why would you apply for 476 when the same assessment can be used for PR?

Guitarlife:
Thanks for your response .

What alternative do I have now?

If am avoiding writing CDR based on work experience and can you assist me with the flow chart ?

You probably didn't understand what Deleyi said because he already answered the question.

It is written clearly on EA's website that you can write your CDR on university project, internship etc. If you write it based on this, you don't have to supply any employment evidence. If you write it based on work experience, then you have to supply evidence to support your work claim.

In essence, you have no troubles, just write based on your MSc project, internship and BSc project. There you already have 3 career episodes.

I believe Engineers should take advantage of this and assess as soon as possible. I foresee that very soon, EA like others will require experience.

When better coloured rice joint is on the same street with Captain Cook, you went to waste money on Captain Uncook....

Tnot:
Ok thanks!

please help me look into the points and feasibility, which one should i go with.

1st option is:

Age: 28
ND: Civil Engineering (2009)
HND: Civil Engineering (2014)
NYSC: 1 Year (2015)

2nd option is:

Age: 28
ND: Civil Engineering (2009)
Experience: 3 Year

The 3 year working experience above, i will try if i can get employment letter from the construction company i did my SIWES and 1 year I.T which my dad is a senior staff of.

Don't complicate issues for yourself. Go with post HND.

Put more effort into the English test for a 20 point score to make up for lost ground.

toslad:
@Lizybos, Chairman Bellong and any other person who used Vetassess should please help me on this.

Abeg dont be angry with me o. I just need to confirm if we still need to verify BSc certificate when one is going to send transcripts. If yes, please how do we go about it from the school. My school is giving me serious stress.

I will appreciate all your kind responses.

Thank you.

Make a photocopy of your certificate, take it to the transcript office, they will put the school's seal/stamp on it and attest it is a copy of the original. This attested copy will be included in the transcript before sending.

Tnot:
Abeg Oga bellong and sujydee, make una helep me look into my own case.

Yes, TRA does not assess all technician related occupations. DIBP sets the assessing authority for an occupation.

Civil engineering technician is assessed by VETASSES but you can nominate civil engineering draftsperson assessed by EA.which is faster and with less drama.

@sftt,

What is the new occupation you intend to nominate?

Ajilos:
Pls can i use hollandia yoghurt & for d fish can I use smoked cat fish tanks

Hollandia yoghurt is not a good substitute for the sour yoghurt. Yes, you can use smoked car fish.

succyblinks:
See ehn I can't lie for u but eating all those veggies is almost equal to suicide. What if in d morning I take only Lipton then in d afternoon I eat some fruits like watermelon, apple, pineapple and the rest then in d evening I eat nothing or maybe eat like 2 slices of bread, groundnut and water. How about that?

That is hunger suicide in itself..

You need the nutrients from those vegetables.

Went for Medicals at Fatayi williams today.167k in total for 2adults and 2 children.
5700 each for x-rays at St Nicholas(only adults).4k for oral polio for the entire family.

7k per adult for police clearance.
All docs uploaded.

The police beat you to it. Your negotiating skill was belopar. Shouldn't have paid 7k...

SUJYDEE:
@Nickoko

Why subclass 489. You have not added points from English proficiency which is 20 points maximum. With good scores in your English language test you can hit the subclass 189 threshold.

2014 till date is not upto 3 years so there's no way you can claim 5 points from that. I would advise, you go with option 1 - why not tell the house your course of study, the occupation you are planning to nominate and your field of work for the past 10 years because there are some occupations that require 2-3 years on the job training after your qualifications.

Don't disturb yourself. He is not coherent. His first post, he claimed he got positive assessment from EA as Electronics Engineer, so I don't understand where VETASSES comes in.

Nickoko:
Thanks.

Do you mean i should go ahead to do my assessment with VETASESS and wait for the outcome(if positive or negative) without the work experience, am sure my point would not be up to 60 if i don't anything from work experience? My ielts test is slated for next week Saturday.

What are you talking about?

You said you got a positive assessment from EA, what do you need VETASSES for?

Nickoko:
I got a positive assessment from Engineers Australia for SOL 2334 - Electronics Engineer - skill level 1.
Although my degree is in electronics, I have been working in project management and research roles for
the last 4 years. I am not claiming any points for my work experience. Can I submit my application as such
and will there be any issues arising from this?

Please, I need to know if I stand a good chance. Thanks

Since you are not claiming work experience. You are 100℅ fine. You have the most important element for the application, positive assessment.

If you have written IELTS, fill out the EOI and wait for your ITA.

If anyone is in need of Australian dollars, someone wants to sell.

He wants N265 = $1Aud

If you are interested, you can contact me.

firsttymum:
does msc give extra points. If yes how many

BSc and MSc are both 15points.

Only PhD has extra 5points = 20

KIKIADE:
I need someone to second this comment and possibly with a proof. I hope to get a soul lifting response

Oga, why are you particular about your MSc?

Every work experience is assessed post last qualification. If you assess with EA because HND will not equal to AQF Bachelors, you will likely forfeit all those good years.

As earlier advised by SUJYDEE, assess with TRA, better to forfeit 5points than 10points. At least you would't be restricted to tradies' job, you can work in any area you want as long as you can convince employer.

What you need now is just to enter. From recent events, tradies application will be given priority because there's a decline in number of people in apprenticeship.

So be fast about it and stop wasting time on whether MSc or HND.

KIKIADE:
sir,
is there any hope of getting 15 points from these certificates
OND ELECTRICAL
HND ELECTRICAL
ADVANCED DIPLOMA (CITY&GUILD LONDON)
PGD RADIATION PROTECTION
MSC ENERGY MANAGEMENT
and can I ve your email address

Depends on which of the qualification you assess.

Your MSc is 15points.

@Learn,

1. Psychology is a structured and regulated profession like medicine. You can't apply for migration assessment except you are first registered to practice in Australia by the psychology board of Australia which is different from the Australia Psychology Society responsible for migration assessment.
To answer this part of your question, provided you are registered with the board, you can go ahead with your assessment. The academic qualification assessment is done separately from work experience, the work experience assessment is paid for separately.

2. Refer to 1 above. No your Nigerian license is not enough. Only psychologists from New Zealand are exempted.

3. DIBP accepts a three year validity. Yes you can use it within three years.

4. No, there is no requirement to show proof of fund except for Northern territory for those who seek the State's nomination.

5. As in 4.

6. Point for age is calculated on your age on the day of invitation.

The process for psychologist like medicine is long but better than doctors except that you have to spend a lot before getting positive assessment provided you are not subjected to professional internship year.

You probably can nominate the psychotherapist occupation assessed by VETASSES. You can send me a PM.

Why do you need her contact?

lawland:
Hello Bellong, am not in Nigeria. My wife is coming here and i am looking for best possible option as airlines are charging more that $2000 for one way flight. The problem is that since its a multiple airline ticket, she needs to recheck in her luggage at south Africa which i think means she is gonna be going through immigration

Have you bought the ticket?

Will send you a pm

^^^^. Good bro.. congratulations again.

If you have your English test ready, quickly fill the EoI so you can get opportunity for ITA in the next round next week August 3rd.

SUJYDEE,

Congratulations....

Yes, DIBP generally follow recommendation of the assessing authority.

Did you use your BSc/ HND or OND for the assessment?

@Utcheylee,

Alright.. all the best.

chidike:
Oh okay, didn't see that thanks. Yes I have 4 years cumulative work experience and I studied estate management which is a 5 year course.

Alright then.. wish you goodspeed and Godspeed.

@Utcheylee

Work experience points to claim will be confirmed/known after your skills assessment. Only the assessing authority have definite answer to the question.
However, you can only claim points for the work experience that relates to the nominated occupation. You can't claim experience points for occupation not related to your nominated occupation.

You only need minimum of 55 points for state sponsorship, the state adds the remaining 5points except in special conditions where the state clearly defines the points needed for a particular occupation.

The choice is yours if you want to add 489 to your application. Yes you can choose both 190 and 489 on the EOI. But bear it in mind that 489 is not a permanent resident visa but only a pathway. The implication is that you are not entitled to any government support or Medicare. To me 489 is a waste of resources.

lawland:
Do you need a transit visa in South Africa to board connecting flight to Australia. For example, you used South Africa airways to South Africa but need to board Singapore Airways to Australia and rechecking is needed. Anyone with experience?

Are you in Nigeria?

If yes, when are you leaving?

Your question, I think if you are not passing through immigration, you don't need a transit visa. You can confirm on Google.

chidike:
Hi guys!

I'm about to start the process. I have just received my PTE results, thankfully got 90 overall score, So I'm guessing that the next thing is to assess my educational qualifications. I have a copy of my university transcript ? Will vetassess accept this or do I need to get my Alma mater to send it. Also I attended Nnamdi Azikiwe University, does anyone know how long it takes them to send transcripts? Thanks alot.

It is written clearly and specifically on VETASSES'website that applicants from Nigeria must request their university to send their transcript and certificate directly to VETASSES.

How many years was your study for? I hope you have at least a year experience in the occupation you are nominating?

utcheylee:
Thanks guys for they clarification so am getting 10point right.@bellong do I need to re assess again for mkt specialist or to apply directly to vetassess since the two skills are similar what do you think.

Why am looking at another direction was because I don't have license to practise Insurance brokers but any other requirement I can get for mkt officer and I don't want to wait for another 21 days to get assessed for mkt specialist with advisory.

Firstly, advisory service is not a skill assessment, it serves only as a guidance or advisory purpose as the name suggests.

Secondly, it doesn't matter what occupation you get your visa in, you can work in any field and with any employer who is ready to employ you. There's no law that restrict one to the occupation the visa was granted.

Thirdly, you can only apply for the occupation you have a positive skill assessment in. You can't use one for another whether they are closely related or not.


Everybody should at least read all the links, it will help prevent asking some questions the answers are readily available.
