Where are our people in Australia, I always check the Canadian thread and there seems to be more lively oh. How have you guys been surviving in this covid era, those that lost their job were they benefits for them like Canadian govt did?.. Australia is my first choice for migration and we need updates as motivation while chasing the japa journey..

For citizens and PR, the Australian government is providing fortnight payment to support those who have lost their jobs and also for companies that are hit by the pandemic.

I don't know what the Canadian govt is providing but what the Australia. Government is providing is enough to sustain a family.

Deprofessional:
My wife has a provisional admission in one of the schools in Aussie. We have #10m in our savings account and one of her friends is willing to part sponsor her and the person in question has #10m in TB and about #4m in her current account.

She is willing to show evident of willingness to part sponsor her via a sworn affidavit.

Your wife will need to proof to the CO why her friend is sponsoring her and not any relative. She has to show what the motivation is for the friend in paying thousands of dollars for her to study while her account doesn't show she has that enough to give away.

My wife will apply for visa covering herself and our 2 children aged 9 and 6. But she will be going alone to test the waters.

The plan is that in 6 to 12 months time, when she must have stabilized, I will apply for my own visa and join her with the children.

Whatever you do, make sure you apply together. It is easier to get family visa than apply later as subsequent entry. In the initial application, you can explain that the secondary applicant is staying behind due to work commitment and will only be visiting when required.

Now my question:
a) will the proof of fund by her part sponsor supported by affidavit be acceptable?

Refer to first statement.

b) will I be given visa after 6 to 12 months? One reason for not including myself in the visa is lack of funds.

Going by experience, there is 90% chance you will be denied as subsequent entrant because opinion is formed that the primary applicant has given a go ahead that it is good to relocate permanently. Apply together.

c) by the way, her school is in Perth. Originally she was granted admission in UTAS. But we heard there are no jobs in Tasmania, thus, necessitating our application for admission in Perth. Are there jobs in Perth?

Every single state has been hit by COVID-19. No country is a safe haven at the moment. However, post COVID-19, Perth is better than Hobart in terms of economic activities.

ProfAmaben:
Thanks for your input. Seems Nigerians in Australia are wondering and more willing to assist than those in say Britain. Can I get an idea of what it would cost me to move with Visa subclass 189 or 190? I don't want to wait for job sponsorship. Thanks.

All the info you need can be found in this thread. Take time to read it.

@Viola2017,

Your application should not be making reference to your husband leaving his job. His job should be used as part of the home ties. Provide evidence of employment. It is not a compulsion that he should leave with you immediately.

@Mykelbrown,

You have a good chance at the technical occupations.

Where do you start from? Start by reading from the opening page.

@Viola2017,

Whatever you do, make sure it is a family application. Applying alone will not give you any advantage over applying as a family if you don't satisfy the GTE requirements.

Getting a subsequent entrant visa is more challenging than the original visa application as this is an indication that you have made a decision to move permanently after testing the waters .


Provide as much evidence as per home ties. Your husband job, your landed properties, family members are all important evidence of home ties.


Goodluck.

Wife and I - BSc Mathematical Sciences (option in Statistics) - 4 years course in a State Uni
Wife

Exp: 10 years exp as Database Admin
Age: 35
i have worked in 4 companies (i dont have most of my past payslips, i have closed one of the past salary account)
I can only account for like 4-5 years (payslips)

I want my Wife to stand as the principal to apply as Statistician

Please i need a guide and help on how to start, where to start from. sequence of things to do.

489, 482, 407, 189, 190, 186, 187, 491, 494

thanks

You can go through the RPL route with ACS but you need to account for those years. Something to proof your 10yrs of work experience so you still have some years left to claim experience points.

FBS:
It was an absolute cracker of a match (NRL) Roosters 24 vs 25 Storms.
Nail biting to the very end.

Does anyone watch NRL here?

I think you are the only fan. I only follow scores occasionally. I watch the soft version, the AFL.

mamatwiny:
Please I want to know if anyone has been able to get employer sponsored work visa from offshore and how he/she was able to achieve that.

Also any news on the new immigration year? When are the states getting new quota for the year?

Editted
I just saw this. October is far oo. Let us hope it comes earlier

Yes, there have been people who got it. You can get a job by going through ads on Seek, Indeed and other job platforms. It is easier when the employer is unable to fill that position locally.

kclub83:

ebere272:
I greet every one here, Oga Bellong and everyone else...
I need your input, I just finished my bachelor's of Nursing from QUT. I am thinking of exploring the Canada PR from here due to personal reasons.
I have read about the NANS, I just want to understand the process and know if it is easier than Australia..

You should ask the question on Canada PR thread. You will get better and proper information there

Nnetriplet:
I plan to start mine 2moro...im too fat... I need to lose over 20kg

Goodluck with it. Share your story as you go along.

SAMBARRY:
same to you my dear


Good to see you.

Na only you see me. Me I no see you..

Thank you

SAMBARRY:
exactly.those guys are extremely obnoxious and lousy.let me put it better in Yoruba because Yoruba aptly captures the full depths of words than english.theyre what Yorubas call OMO OJU OROLARI.thats the kind of group hushpupi and his gang belongs

Madam long time.

Happy new years

How are you?

mamatwiny:
At belong, I just read that SA has stopped payment of first home owner grant. WA and Nsw pays up to 15k aud. Can you shed more light on this as it might affect the decision of chosing province to settle.

That information is not correct. SA still provides $15k grant to first home owner.

WA's grant is $10k for first home owner but between June 4 - December 31, 2020, it will be $30k to stimulate construction.

Dapyem:
I am married and my spouse is a Sanitarian(Environmental Health Officer).
How is this nomination of a thing done please?
Thanks

Information is available on opening page. EHO is nominated by NT under 491. That is suspended at the moment. Tasmania also sponsors it.

mygirl83:
yes I did skill assessment to chosen my occupation
I applied for Permanent Residence Visa Application
and i have not paid anything am just concern about the Gambia matter.

so mo one has gone through this process

To use the words I read on Nairaland recently, "egungun be careful, na express you dey go".

That is the summary.

Dapyem:
Thank you Madam. I will check for d estimate points as advised

Are you married? What is your spouse's qualification and/or occupation?

The nomination for veterinary nursing is slim at this stage. There may be a change from July 1. NSW is open for 491 nomination but it is not certain. If you have family in SA, you can get nomination.

degelinglacis:
I hope to reach the 13 days

I bind their temptation...

The journey of a thousand year starts in a day..

Let us know how it goes.

frank043:
Wow!!!

So, this too is part of the unending gains

Please bligs, could you further break this down in details (in numbers precisely, as I connect with number easily), just like ideamaster, bnimz and bellong did?

Many thanks for your input...

Superannuation is similar to the Pension fund deducted from salary in Nigeria. The process is similar. 9.5% minimum of your fortnightly, weekly or monthly salary, which is the standard and mostly practised, (some organisations including Federal agencies do up to 17.5% or more) is paid into your nominated super fund agency. This money is not deducted from your salary but paid in addition to it. It goes to super fund account against retirement.

Tax return is not set in stone. It is where you declare your annual income and tax paid to the government. If you overpay based on your income, you get refunded the excess.

frank043:
LONG POST ALERT!!!

"Abroad people call me every weekend asking me to send money (not bragging). Many of them are frustrated over there. They work long hours including overtime but the government takes federal, state, city, social security, medicare, medicaid and disability taxes. On top of that, when they buy biscuit, they will still take sales tax. They pay exorbitant rent; those who "own" homes are locked in a loan repayment for 30yrs of which they still have to pay annual taxes for their house. Phone bill can cost over $60 per line, cable $120, internet $80 and they still pay tax on top of it. Burger and chips with soft drink can easily cost you $16 plus tax.

Bnimz & ideamaster have succinctly summarised your question.

I only want to comment on this part of the post. I cannot question an individual's experience but for whoever migrates to Australia legally as a permanent resident will not under any circumstance call his Nigerian friends to beg for money. The worst that will happen is for the person to live off government welfare and not be calling an arrogant friend in Nigeria to rescue.

If you live as a normal human being, your income should be enough to cater for you. You may not become wealthy on your income, but you will be comfortable.

It is high time for people to understand that not everybody has a vision to become millionaire or wealthy in Nigerian context. Some just want to be comfortable and live stress free. Contentment is paramount to them.

For migration, everybody should first understand the purpose for moving and weigh their options. Some are not moving for economic prosperity. It is not every move is because of economic prosperity.

You should understand why you want to migrate and let that be your motivating factor.

Bodacious1:
Hello,

Could you please expatiate on the emboldened text?

July 1st is the beginning of Australia's financial year. Occupation lists are reviewed and updated by this date. Some occupations are taken off while others are restored to the list and the list could remain the same.

Aussie2doc:
I need the gurus to advise me. I am a medical doctor in private practice in Nigeria. I decided to relocate this last December so I did the part 1 of the board exam AMC MCQ and passed. I got a job in Australia so I am processing my limited registeration and my employer is sponsoring my TSS visa. I will be eligible for PR only after 3yrs of working with the employer on TSS VISA but I am 41 years this last march. If with this COVID 19, I can't resume earlier than march then by the time I am eligible for PR, I will be 45yrs old which will be the cut off point. I have another route which is to pass the clinical exam as soon as possible and after working for one year then I will be eligible for general registeration. With that I will get 65points immediately and by the time I add my age it is 80 already. With IELTS it will be more than 90. However I don't know wether the job will give me adequate time to read as the job I got is leading me directly to becoming a consultant GP in just 3yrs plus( subject to passing exams through PEP program too) So the last option is where I need advice. I am thinking of applying for PR directly while on TSS visa as a medical and welfare manager for 190subtype. I need vetasses.

Have you passed PESCI? I believe your employer would have told you that it is a requirement before you can start employment.

As good as your plan is, it does not look feasible because Queensland does not sponsor Health and Welfare Manager for 190. Only 491 and you must be working in that capacity in the last three months in Regional Queensland. You will not be employed as the practice manager except your employer will want to assist you with that which may be very difficult. It is easier getting state nomination outside Australia than when you are onshore. This is because most of the states will only sponsor you if you are living in their states. If you live interstate, it is very very hard to get nomination outside your state of residence. However, if outside Australia, you have luxury of choice to apply to all the states if you meet the minimum requirements.

Secondly, if you are going to be employed as a GP in training, your standard hours is 8 hours/day including 30 minutes break and 15 mins morning tea. This is the standard working hours, any additional hours may be overtime subject to your discretion. I don't know how difficult the AMC exam is but I reckon it will be little hard like every medical exams. However, if reading 3 hours every evening will be enough for you to pass, then it is doable. A lot of GPs sat for the exam while working too. You also can do it. This is the best shot you have at early PR. Sit for the exam while working.

Thirdly, if your hospital has minimum of 30 bed with additional services like radiology, optometry etc, you can assess as a medical administrator as suggested by someone. This is up to you to package your application appropriately. This may also give you early PR.

Goodluck

Thanks brother for ur time spent really grateful, God bless.
Bt what if I go ahead with the hardware technician because the job functions is most likely the same with our technology unit, which that was the unit I started with bfore am transferred to tellering point.

That is the decision you can make by yourself. You weigh your options and decide.

Geodamsel:
@Bellong, thank you for the response. I am 30 years old but will be 31 later this year. I am into events' management and Interior design. Was also doing exportation but that was mainly when I lived in Dubai.

I am currently separated and my estranged husband does not live in Nigeria. Knowing what to do or my chances with the Australia Immigration will determine my next step.Thank you again

If there is any likelihood of coming together again, he may be the principal applicant if he has the right qualification and experience. If there is no hope of reconciliation, your option is the study route.

There is no occupation on the list to match your business experience. If you can afford the school fees, you can move as a student. You will also be prepared to pay either childcare fees or school fees for your children.

All the best.

cola1:
not often do we see post concerning EA assessment, tnx Bellong, Tunde, yungmin nd others for your effort.
let me also take this opportunity to ask some questions.
1. can someone without experience apply for EA assessment
2. if yes to Q1 how will the career episode differentiate a person with experience from the one without an experience since both of them have to write a career episode.

1. Yes

2. No, the only advantage a person with experience gets over non-experience is experience point. As per assessment, EA is interested in your ability to transfer your knowledge into practice. This can be demonstrated through the CDR. You can use your 6 months industrial attachment and final year project to write the CDR. Refer to EA's website for further info.

Guess I misunderstood your second question. Though partly answered. EA is not interested in differentiating applicants but for prospective applicants to demonstrate their engineering knowledge and skills through personal project.

@Geodamsel,

How old are you?

What sort of business do you do?

Are you divorced or just separated?

I will be able to offer advice when you answer the questions.

[quote author=Ormoretayour post=89917580][/quote]At the moment, there is no occupation I can think of. Generally, banking occupation is not in significant need except specialist financial skills at the top level.

@Corjay,

You have nothing to worry worry about. You will be alright.

Your worry should be aligning your job responsibilities with ANZSCO descriptions for customer service manager.

Regards.

Ormoretayour:
@Bellong:
Please I need people's assistance, as a transaction officer in a bank (teller) with 6year working experience using a computer science certificate (HND) can I b assess positively under TRA , hardware technician as the skill. Or which other skill did anyone know that I can fix in for? please help me out.

No, you cannot assess for hardware technician because you don't have the experience. You need both qualification and experience for a positive assessment.

@SilaV,

You cannot claim technician experience for engineering occupation, it will not be assessed positively. Secondly, the experience must be post qualification.

If you are keen to get experience points, assess your qualification and experience with TRA. Look through the list for a technician occupation that matches your experience.

If you assess with TRA does not mean you cannot work as an engineer.


@ozonechrome,

Amen. God bless you too.
