For a journey that started sometime in 2013,I'm very happy and so grateful to God that we received our 189 grant mail this morning.

jamson:

Christmas has decided to come early sha. ITA loaded today after 14 days in the pool.

Bnimz:

I'll see how today's round goes, then i guess I'll go create EOI for 190 with NSW as backup.

James2016:


Hi,I need some little explanation from you.I intend to apply for the 189 PR visa and I check the Sol list and I couldn't find my occupation.I just finish my MBA general management some few months ago and no working experience.i will like to know if it's possible to apply for any other PR with MBA and no working experience

bellong:


Did the person tell you how he got 55?

Assuming he has maximum points in Age..

Age: 30 points
English: Band 6. 0 point
Experience: 0 point
Qualification: 15 points
Partner's point: 5 point

Total:. 50 points

Where did he get the extra 5 points from?

ideamaster:


You can look on immitracker website to have a rough idea on when you can get Nsw nomination with 55 points.

But from my little research and discussion with friends, Nsw nominates engineers without any condition like work experience or employment contract. However, for the same reason, there is a long queue of those waiting for nomination. Personally, I submitted my EOI (Mining Engineering) with 55 on 01~ Feb~ 2016 and till date, no nomination.

The bottom line is, to get Nsw nomination, you need at least 60 points excluding the state sponsorship point. That's probably what happened with the Chemical engineer guy someone mentioned. He probably had 55 points plus 5 points from partner skills. that's why he got invited faster.

POTUSUK:
Thanks bro. But I have got 60 points (Assumming EA assesses my work experience as positive). Im only considering that route because of my peculiarities as regards PE. Better still can rewrite english to aim 20 points...when and if the need arises.

catchdwind4rmkd:
We've been advised here severally to share valid information. So, I guess I've more info on WA than NSW.

However, in my opinion, NSW is not so interested in Engineers as with IT professionals, Accountants, Civil draftsmen, etc. So, getting ITA on 55 points may be a long wait. And with the current uncertainty of the SOL, it may be risky having to wait that long. I'm sure though that if you have 65 - 70 points, you'll get NSW ITA within the next couple of rounds. I'm not sure, though, that anyone with such high points will prefer 190 to 189, unless in your case where your occupation isn't on the SOL.

Finally, if you meet all the DIBP requirements but have 55 points, you're better off registering your EOI and starting the wait early enough.
NSW requirements are quite simple.

POTUSUK:
Thanks for that explicit answer. You are far too kind. But I'd like to know why you didnt stress on NSW like you did on WA.

Guys...do we know anyone that has applied to be nominated for Petroleum Engineering NSW recently and has gotten an ITA?. I need to weigh in the statistics. Cos as it is WA is a no go area.

POTUSUK:
@ Bellong, WestAfrcan et al, Please what are the chances of me been nominated by state or region for a Petroleum Engineering Occupation?. Since PE is no longer on the SOL list, I'm thinking state nominations but I really would like to know the chances there are.?!

bellong:


Your question is ambiguous. Everybody has a reason for relocation, individual differs on why he/she chose to relocate, so streamlining experience into one sentence will not answer your question.

First, identify why you want to move. Some moved because they want to live in a sane environment, some for personal health, some to escape family drama and issues while majority relocated for economic prosperity.


In saying the above, your reason for relocation will determine whether the move worth it or not. However, irrespective of the reasons that initiated your relocation, you will definitely find what you are looking for in the long run.
If you are moving for economic prosperity, I wouldn't say you will get a job immediately you arrive but no matter what you will get something reasonable doing within the first six months "worst" case scenario. It is why the government advised that migrants bring enough resources for the first six months.
It doesn't mean you can't get a job immediately. South Australia has the highest rate of unemployment despite the statistics, I know people who got something doing within three weeks of arrival. No two people are the same, there are individual circumstances such as your employable skills, good resume, transferable skills, good cover letter and interview performance not forgetting networking which can land you a job faster than any other process.

In summary, understand why you are relocating so you will be able to measure if your dreams or expectations have been met. Then have a realistic expectations of what to get. The system is relatively fair to all except you are extremely ignorant. Be conversant with your work conditions and speak up against your employer if your rights are being trampled on or if you are being denied. No one has the right to bully you at work, if you are being bullied or discriminated against, you have the luxury of escalating it to the Work, Health and Safety (WHS) body in your state to mediate. This is without any repercussions against you.

For my own reasons, expectations are being met and for everyone in this country, things can only get better.

malkinburg:
Hi all, i am glad to finally make this post. The migration journey for me just ended. God has been EXTREMELY gracious to me. landing in this country with a little less than 1000 dollars in February last year, i have successfully graduated in my masters program, obtained a professional job as an environmental consultant while still on bridging visa, and achieved what i couldn't achieve in Nigeria in 5 years all within a stretch of 20 months. i am grateful to the guidance of so many people on this thread. ie Zenkel who showed me how to arrive australia through malaysia on a shoe string budget of 150k, Boss jennakry who enlightened me on opportunities i never knew existed and others who helped and encouraged me on the journey. i will settle down and summarize some important key information yet to be shared on this forum that will help enable new arrivals find a professional job, and also 476 visa holders looking for extra 5 points on what to do to dodge the english bedrock while drilling through to permanent residence. i will also like to encourage others going through a lot of pain and doubting their decisions especially those who came via school route with their partners, it can only get better, don't loose hope. stay focused, the light awaits you at the end of the tunnel.

Please can you send my a copy of your CDR so as to help me complete mine. My field is electrical engineering with 8 yea experience. My email id is

chebyshev:
@catchdwind4rmkd, I am nominating Chemical Engineering as my occupation. Could you please send me the sample of your own CDR to me at . Thanks

jamson:


Well, yeah you are right to an extent. However, when people ask for your CDR, it is not necessarily because they want to lift the contents. What is most important is the structure. Regardless of your engineering discipline, EA is looking for something in your reports; and that is what is outlined in your summary statements and people can gain insight from how you have structured yours to receive a positive outcome.

If anyone is naive enough to do 'copy and paste' (or paraphrase your work at best), then it's at their own peril and not yours, thank God you have scaled the hurdle.


hsim247 and others who needs samples, there are lots all over the internet for your guidance(not for copy and paste else you'd regret it)

google cdr scribd dot com

To sum up, your 'Holy Grail' on this CDR thingy is the EA's booklet

hsim247:

Electrical/Electronics Engineering

hsim247:


Hello catchdwind,
Could you please help me with materials you used in writing the CDR? I hope it also applies to electrical engineer too. Thanks.

bellong:


Will definitely be in the CBD.

Time will be known before close of business today.

bellong:


Are you in Melbourne?

Nickoko:



I also completed my pte exams few minutes ago, it was crazy as the computer time was just running fast in my reading section and in other to complete the listerning task on time I out run the time and finish my test 30minute before others.. My first with CBT and pte but am thinking I will better off writing ielts as my first attempt of ielts academic gave me band 7(S8,R6, W7 and L7.5)*. My assessment body does not require English test. Please will State/territories accept IELTS General?

bellong:
If you are in Melbourne, we can catch up on Wednesday night as my tentacles will touch base in the city...
