As a skilled worker u will be applying for either subclass 189,190 or 489. in ur case since ur occupation is on CSOL u will apply for 190. hope u have assessed ur qualifications with ur assessing body. and yes u need to write ur english test before u submit ur EOI so that u claim the correct points.

good2know:
hello house,

please i'm a little confused about migrating to Australia through skill select.

what category of visa do i need to select for the EOI as a skilled worker (CSOL) because there is a section on the site that says:
"The following five visas must be applied for following submission of a successful Expression of Interest (EOI) through SkillSelect:

Business Talent (Permanent) visa (subclass 132)
Business Innovation and Investment (Provisional) visa (subclass 188)
Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189)
Skilled - Nominated visa (subclass 190)
Skilled - Nominated or Sponsored (Provisional) visa (subclass 489)."

And is it compulsory that I take the test of English(IELTS) before submitting the EOI?
thanks

Congrats dear...awesome news!!!

Melbourne here I come!!!!!

So ur just waiting for an invite...having a students visa doesn't affect PR application right?

samuelokwu:
Yes oh. I have expressed interest for PR

This is wonderful news....congrats. While PR is still in the pipeline

samuelokwu:
Hi Friends,
I received my grant of student visa. Thank you all for your advise and support.

yes thats true...just that the term field engineer is usually given to those doing jobs closely related to petroleum engineers. but i guess doomel has to check his job role n nominate that occupation.

@ Chuckdee13, working as a field engineer in the oil and gas industry doesn't make you a petroleum engineer. Field engineers have different specializations. You can have Electrical, Mechanical, even Civil Engineers working as Field Engineers. What matters is your job role, duties and how it relates to your course of study

@doomel
u studied mechanical engineering but u have been working as a petroleum engineer (since u said field engineer in oil and gas) so I guess the best will be to apply for petroleum engineer... scrollmeout what do u think?

Thank God for the safe flight...God bless ur hustle

laminaria:
To God be the Glory, finally in Brisbane!
hardest part was to say goodbye to your love ones. really enjoyed my flight from mmia to doha, from doha to perth and finally to Brisbane.....first time on-board, it is a nice experience and dream comes true. new world new life it is beyond what i can type here.
God will make it happen for everyone, no visa refusal In Jesus name.

Awwww...thats so nice. safe landing in Brisbane bro.

laminaria:

oh....ok. I didnt know this. thx for the insight

bellong:
Chuckdee13,

Bachelors and Masters carry 15 points. Only PhD is 20points.

Being a member does not automatically grant her positive assessment. She needeto assess her skill.

This is what i understand too...but didn't wanna argue with her. since she's on ground she'll find out soon enough. thanks alot for ur response...one more thing, once done with masters n u get automatic membership (according to her) after payment does it mean u dont need to assess anymore and u will just get ur points like that?

lawland:
Naa... She won't, she can only get points for Australian study and her highest qualification depending on which occupation she nominated.

@NNBB2012, @lawland
I was talking to a friend rounding up her Masters in perth, she told me that once she's done she'll get automatic membership into Engineers Australia which I know. she then said she'll still want to assess her Nigerian B.Eng to get more points when she wants to apply for PR. I asked her so u can get points for both the Maters and the B.Eng and she said yes...I'm confused please confirm this for me. Thank you very much guys

I haven't seen anyone interested in these visa subclasses... But thx for the info though.

@scrollmeout I'm still on the process. Haven't kicked off with the CDR yet,wanna get all my facts together n waiting till January to get up to a year exp...n I also need to get 20points from IELTS...I'll start to disturb u soon though thanks for the concern

Ok that makes sense

Ifexsco:
SPE! Pounds and Dollars! ''Without industry exp'' is not totally the case.... My CDRs were from my MSc internship, a consultancy project I was involved in for NAPIMS and then my lecturing job.

How did u get a positive assessment from EA without petroleum eng ind exp? pls let a fellow spe member in on the details.

Ifexsco:
Oga, how yonder? Have submitted all the required docs, my CO has requested to correct my inadvertent error(that is correct my score from 65 to 60). So am awaiting my good news! . What do you think of Perth....for a Pet. Engineer without industry exp?

I use glol to call at the rate of 65k per second...run from airtel cos its 144k per second. But someone said he buys a bundle from mtn to call...never knew Australia is in any bundle.

Ifexsco:
Bros.....a beg which mobile network did you use to call them? House....what's the cheapest network for calling Australia? Thanks for the response.

ok...I must have missed it. still bidding my time to kick start my process,going thru the PR route

laminaria:
yes i didn't mentioned d date i applied again but d house was aware that i got admission via svp route. all in all tanx for concern.
whats good bro?

honestly I do read every post...dunno how I missed it if u talked about it. but all in all I'm happy for u

laminaria:
@chuckdee13 : was on low key jare bro but do read every post here..tanx too, @veryconcluded: tanx bro, @lawland :tanx baba.

Pinkygrace:
Pls house for those that have written PTE exams where did you get free sample questions, and if you bought online, which of the package did buy

@erictack203 really sorry for the refusal but I strongly urge u to reconsider applying again cos u might be making money and have a "good" life here but a better life awaits u n ur family over there with alot more benefits. God guide ur decision though...

have u checked unsw...from what I saw a while back helping a friend the Msc is between 30 to may 40k for the whole duration depending on the program. I'm just giving rough estimates I suggest u check it out

standupguy:
Brother it was between ECU and Swinburne.
But Tuition on MSc is quite scary.
So I have applied to Swinburne for there 2 yrs advanced diploma which is about 16,000 Aud per annum.

The ECU MSc is about 25,000 per annum plus I read that Perth is a bit expensive.

I don't want to stress myself looking for 25,000 for the second yr if I applied to ECU.

No one can tell u about ur chances of getting a visa...na God Hand e dey.
U have to show strong ties to home like properties or a job waiting for u when u finish ur studies n make it convincing.
u can go with a dependent for a program thats more than one year I think
I think when ur applying for a program u will see it in the details whether its SVP or not...not sure n I dont think a sch has all programs as SVP so just do ur research. what I've learnt so far though. I'm not applying for studies so I dont have first hand experience/knowledge.
Hope I was of help

Hazeleye:
Anyone willing to help answer these queries? quote author=Hazeleye post=37583096]Hi all,

I intend to apply for student visa outside Nigeria. With all documents provided, what are the chances of being given? I've read "no ties with home country" as denial excuse. How best to avoid that?

Also, can I go with a dependant for a BSc. Programme? How do I know a school offer is SVP?

Thanks guys, this thread has been quite informative.

Ok thx so much. It was the gap I was concerned about cos I never wanted to assess the MSC. Thx again

NNBB2012:
I thought this issue had been resolved previously. For your Msc to be considered it has to be in the same field. The best thing is to be silenced about your Msc during your assessment; nobody really cares about the gap.

@NNBB2012
I have a b.eng in petroleum engineering and an msc in computer systems engineering (accredited). Different fields...I want to assess petroleum so the msc will become irrelevant but I want to know if its still wise to show the msc so that there won't be a huge gap in my resume. Thx a lot.

U can do the diploma anytime once u get u PR...yhe main koko is to get the PR first n other things will follow

standupguy:
I am yet to apply to the school, just started talking to there agent, preparing to take IELTS. I am 30 yrs old.
I will look into what you just said

But note the technical skill I hope to acquire from the advanced diploma so important to me for future incase I decide to live any other place in the world

Doesnt work that way...the last chevron vacancy that was for process/facilities they refused to call petroleum engineers only mechanical n chemical...n maybe others

Anyi3:
You can do stronghead and apply through the Chemical engineering route

Unfairness at its peak...they can employ a mechanical or chemical engineer to do a petroleum engineers job in the field but can't employ a petroleum engineer to do a process job in a plant.

danyphonia87:
What an irony, so a petroleum and gas engineering is not among the list... And they said it a recruitment for a refinery... So what's the point studying about hydrocarbon and there derivatives in the University if I can't fit in dangote refinery recruitment

really? ur bored

tunasmoke:
Is there anyone in Melbourne.. Am really bored here...

Google regional Australia...u will get a comprehensive breakdown. There r some states that the entire state is regional I think QLD is regional except for Brisbane...Google it though...it'll give u a guide to stick to regional areas if that's what u want.

Pmiller1:
@Lawland, thanks for this info. btw i got an offer from TasTAFE for Computer System Technology package course from Cert II, III and IV to Adv Dip level 3years for $33k and also Gordon Institute of TAFE for Adv Dip Computer Systems Engineering, but am reluctance to accept the offer, since peeps on here said the IT job has been taking over by the Asians and very had to get job after studying IT courses. Pls wat about QLD is it a regional area? TasTAFE is the only VET have seen in Tasmania if u have any other school, kindly share if u have any other school in that state. Thanks

Like lawland said

Tanks chuckdee, pls under which site will I check d SOL
