Since you said you do nothing related to civil at work, I will suggest a hard pill for you of you are really determined.
First, you have to find a way to practice what is related to your study, give yourself around 3 years plan to do that. VETASSESS will definitely deduct around 2yrs for qualifying.
All said and done, this will only be possible if you are under 40years of age. Or you can try the student route

Hi everyone,

I am in the process of doing my skill assessment with Engineers Australia (EA). I am a civil engineer with limited experience (just a bit over one year experience in civil engineering), I have an MSc degree though. I'd done the eligibility check and I got 75 points. I heard Civil Engineers are in high demand in Australia. Please what are my chances of successfully migrating to Australia? Also, do I need to assess my experience alongside my degree with EA?

When a scammer wants to scam you, he will always promise you heaven and earth.

In this Australia japa, there is no short cut. I repeat, no short cut. If there is a short cut, people like us that have been in this thread for years would have been in Australia by now.

But here we are doing the right thing and following all due processes cuz there is no short cut to the land of the milk and honey.

Discard that thought of conversion of visitor visa to PR. That can be possible in the dream any way but not in reality for the Australia we all know. There is nothing like that. Except you guys just want to dash out your money to that well cooked cheap scam.

The person can help you guys apply for visitor visa o no doubt, which is usually 3 months visa, but converting it to PR, come on. Nothing like that.

Better follow due process and do your skills assessment to hop on the queue if you're qualified.

Shalom!

The alternatives depend on the occupation to be assessed.

VETASSES
TRA are two of the alternatives.

Sometimes HND in Civil Engineering does not need to go through EA. There are over 5 other occupations that you can nominate without going through EA as a Civil engineer.

Hello,please I need advice on how to start Australia immigration process .I'm a HND holder in civil engineering ,I have 5 years working experience but not in my area of study .please how do I start the process .

Bodacious1:
Thanks for this. Do I have to hold hard copies of my payslips and qualifications or won't soft copies be sufficient? Also, could I use a friend's address for the TFN or it has to be my own residence?

Thanks again.

Hi all,

I recently got my PR and plan to activate it later in the year. Due to my present circumstances, I may not be able to fully relocate to Australia till early 2027. For those who know, could you advise what the likely implications could be?

I plan to do the following during my activation trip. What else would you suggest I do in addition to these?

1) Register at centrelink
2) Apply for a tax ID
3) Open a bank account (suggestions/recommendations are welcome)
4) Possibly get a PAYG SIM

Also, what state is logical for soft landing?

Thanks in advance.

I'd like to understand your post. Can you provide a summary to us please?

Mcslize:
You're welcome but let me address something I noticed very quickly. I just noticed some discrepancies in your claim.

If you said you are not looking for visa, that means you are in the wrong thread. But that's not the point. Going by your initial post, it doesn't seem like you are among those that speak good about japa to others. More like those that specialise in discouraging people with wrong information.

I saw your initial post as an attempt to intentionally pass out wrong information. I presume you know a bit about the whole process but intentionally trying to pass out wrong information. You ain't trying to seek for help here, rather you are here to pass out as an antagonist to the japa movement.

Moreso, you said in one of your replies to bligs that you have assessed your degree with EA as shown in your reply below (the bolded).

Intentiaonally?
How and in what way?

👆



That's you saying you also used your Niaja engineering degree for EA assessment.

But how come you are claiming you are not looking for visa but end up undergoing assessment with EA? Does that means you are already in Australia I presume, but trying to pass out misleading info to discourage others here? Just an assumption. I don't know if you are in Australia or not.
What misleading information have i passed?

I hope you can now see the glaring discrepancy in your posts. Sorry,there is no discrapncy

This makes me think you are just here to pass out wrong information to discourage people. You are not here to neither help nor seek for help. Ihave not passe dout any wrong information. Nigeria is not a full siganotry of the washington Accord.

The japa movement is here to stay and I believe no antagonist of any kind against the japa movement can stop the force behind it.

Let's learn to be our brother's keeper. If you are already abroad and you specialise in passing out wrong info to intentionally mislead or discourage others, then desist from it, because the sky is big enough for every one to fly. How have i discouraged anyone?

That's just my FBI observation from the whole of your posts and I believe I have been able to prove beyond any doubt that you are among those who don't want others to japa on Nairaland. That's why I took my time to bring out all the evidence and point out the glaring discrepancy in your posts. Evidences!!!, anyways there are no discrepancies

If this seems like a bad FBI move, then kindly pardon my post.

FBI bro, you did not even care to understand my post. Hence i think you will make a very fine MI6 Officer. *winks*

Mcslize:
If you don't know about something you ask so you don't miss out of opportunities. There are different pathways to assess your qualification of which Nigeria doesn't fall under Washington accord.

But you can assess your 5 years degree from any Nigerian university using the competency Demonstration report pathway and your engineering degree will be assessed as equivalent to Australian Bachelor's degree with EA as a professional Engineer.

This is what a lot of graduates that studied Engineering courses in Nigeria have been using to migrate to Australia till date.

You simply didn't understand so much about the process. Endeavour to get the right info if you will like to migrate too so you are not left behind.

1. Skill Level 1
2. Mechanical Engineer
3. Professional Engineer

bligs:
Mechanical Engineer.

bligs:
Skill level 1

AQF Level: Bachelor degree.

bligs:
Equivalent to Australian degree and it fetches me 15points for Skill Migration point.

bligs:
If you are referring to Skill Assessment from EA then your are mixing it up,
You can actually assess with EA with an Engineering degree of 5years duration from Nigeria through CDR path way.

I used my naija degree for EA assessment.

Mcslize:
Nigerian 5-year Engineering degree is not equivalent to Australia diploma, it's equivalent to Australian Bachelor's degree. Please take note.

Why wonder? .... didn't you read Penstock paid 50% of the concessionaire fee? ... whatever that is? ... before being handed control of the $1.3 b project? Can't you see it wasn't about who was shortlisted ... it was about who first paid the concessionaire fee ... ehmmm .... or part of it.
This country needs a military coup... and some greedy people to be ehmmm ... taken care of

Bankowner:
Just curious.

Who owns Penstock Limited?

Why was Mainstream Energy Solutions Limited, the initial bidder, bypassed?

bellong:
When did Engineers Australia tell you this? Can you share the link?

And you don't need two assessments.

stifo2012:
Your information about Nigeria's 5 year engineering degree program been equal to a diploma in Australia is not true.

Please get your facts right so as not to confuse others.
