If uve already checked SOL and/or CSOL n ur occupation is there then the next thing is to get ur qualification assessed by ur assessing body which is the one beside ur nominated occupation on the list. When u know ur assessing body visit their website for more details.
Once u get ur positive assessment the next thing will be to apply for ur visa but get assessed first n then u take it up from there.

cutiefy:
please someone should respond, what is the next procedure for PR in australia after IELTS. also, must I do teh process through an agent? pls help o

Ok so the fact that the chosen name is not on ur passport or birth certificate won't matter cos its just for CV purposes right

NNBB2012:
The person needs to adopt one just for your cv and that doesn't change your real name. Everybody has preferred name that is easy to pronounce by people and that is the aim.

Ok thx for the clarification....

pingu2k5:
Nope, one doesnt need to have a job offer for NSW sponsorship, but the nominated occupation must be on the state's occupation list.

What about people who don't have English names at all?

NNBB2012:
You are welcome. Tips for your cv: Your first name should be English name, Put Australian PR holder on top of your cv after your name,let your cv be achievements focussed that is how you were able to make savings etc.,your certifications would be good as well. Don't think only one cv would do; try and update your cv from time to time. Keep applying and don't give up.

Congrats!!!!! Seems for ur nominated occupation the state doesn't need u to have a job first or NSW doesn't need u to have a job first before they nominate u. That's really cool.

pingu2k5:

adim02:
Chuckdee13 Pmiller1 please it seems that you guys are going to CQU.I want to apply to CQU but to find out from you guys if my 4years could offer me admission to Graduate Diploma of Human Resources Management.since 4years BSC have no place in masters degree program.please i need your responds

My bro was referred to bcie by his sch,cqu,n he wasn't charged just like u said. N then a friend of mine said he wants to go to cqu too n he went to bcie n they said he won't be charged that the sxh pays them n this guy hasn't even made a move with the sch so he wasn't referred. So I'm glad u cleared the air...it seems like they don't charge once ur going to cqu...what I've observed though

Pmiller1:
BCIE charges o, Ikoyi BCIE 55k am sure of it... but sit to be corrected tho

Ur so welcome

charlesemeka85:

TANKS EVERYONE HOPE TO GET YOU ALL FEEDBACKS HEARTY NAIRALANDERS.

There was someone that got PR for both Aussie n Canada,so benefits of both countries were outlined for him. So I'll politely advise u to look thru this particular thread I think. But I can't remember the page. No one really wants to outline again what's already here. I think that's y no one has replied n I don't know the benefits so I can't help u either...I'm replying u now so u don't feel completely ignored

charlesemeka85:
Pls can someone kindly grant me my request. I jus want to have infos regarding the standard of life in aussie and canada and to know the one that will be more favourable for an african immigrant.

I really dont understand ur request but to know how the online application will be done for the course I'll suggest u call the contact person for that particular course u have chosen,that should be on the courses' page. then if I understand correctly u wanna know if 6 months student visa can be done for u,I honestly dont know but I think some experienced old timers should be able to answer that for u.

debris:

I HAVE DONE ALL I CAN TO THE SCHOOL BUT AM NOT SATISFIED I NEED INFORMATION FROM NAIRALANDERS A KIND HEARTED PLEASE DON'T CURSE I ONLY NEEDED HELP

I think it is for a certain period of time...I guess its so with most countries. Cos my cousin went to Australia on a work exchange m he drove company vehicles with his Nigerian drivers license

malmo:
hello house,
I just want to know if the Nigeria driving license is accepted and recognised for use in Australia.

Thanks

Congratulations... U will not be given any form of red card IJN!!!

stephen111:
HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH!! HALLELUJAH!!!
i received my grant yesterday thanks to God. just checking now. thanks to everyone in the house for all your help and always ready to answer. i am forever indebted to this forum.
My question is that i am having till Friday(31st) as deadline on my extension. if i book flight today(wed) can i still use the extension at the port of entry. i dont want to be shown red card at Port of Entry.
thanks y'all

Ok thx a lot for the explanation....I'll just give it a try while I still continue what I wanna do too

NNBB2012:
In my own case, I put everything about me in Nigeria on my CV then and they still called me. Anyway, that was about 4years ago, so things have changed now. It is really hard to get such opportunity these days except your skill is really scarce to get here in Australia. The so-called idea is specifically for the PR holders who can fly in to Australia to attend interview or request that interview should be scheduled so that they can prepare for their trip. I mentioned it to one PR holder that assisted to come over here and he did it while still in the UK. Honestly, it worked for him and was able to attend interviews qucikly.

@NNBB2012 Pls I wanna ask, for someone (in this case me) without a PR n I wanna apply for a job in Australia,if I remove my Nigerian address which one will I put there? Can I put that of someone in Australia? Will it look phony at the time I'm offered employment? I need ur advised based on how u did urs...what's the best way to go about applying for a job from here without a PR yet?

Sorry but I said I know people do get jobs but I have no clue. If I personally knew people who got jobs will I say I have no clue n will I be asking??

chase123:
hi chuckdee,how do you do. Since you know people who got Australia jobs from Nigeria,ask them how they did it and please let me know

Thanks for enlightening me. But how do u get an Australian number for Skype while still in Nigeria. Sorry for prying

NNBB2012:
It is very simple. All you need to do is to update your CV and add Australian PR on it. Do not put address. Get a skype account with Australia number and route it to your mobile in case an employer calls you. The job that brought me to Austalia I got it while in Nigeria with my Nigerian's address and mobile number.

NNBB2012 I need to understand something from ur response. U said he shud start applying from Nigeria, how will they fairly consider him since the address on his CV will still be Nigerian with no ties to Australia n no way of showing ur now a PR holder how will he be considered for a job from here? I know people get jobs from here but I have no clue as to how they do it

NNBB2012:
Your hubby's job might likely determine where you will eventually settle. You should be able to fit in in any of the city. He should not wait to arrive before he starts to apply for job. www.seek.com.au and www.indeed.com.au will be of great help. Considering his qualification and experience, he might likely end up in Sydney or Melbourne, so prepare for high cost on rents although it is relative.

Children can be enrolled at anytime of the year once they have reached school age. Your children must be 5years old before they can start primary school in NSW. Every state has their own school age. So, where you will eventually settle should determine that.

Getting a supervisor for your PhD should not be an issue. As a PR holder, your PhD is tuition free.

thx a lot...this is so helpful.

Hi E-family,

This is for Engineers who are preparing their CDRs for EA submission. Here are a few points i got from reviewing a report from a nairalander:

1. Your CV must be 3 pages or less.
2. Have separate files (pdf prefarably) for each of your CDRs and other docs. i.e. 1 each for each CDR.
3. Prepare your Continuous Professional Development document in a table with these distinct columns:
S/N, Title/Description, Description of the activity, starting date, duration, venue
4. Prepare your summary statement as a separate document,
5. Each document should have a cover page with your name and date.

Some of these i learnt from personal experience and at he online submission stage.

yea

berexio1:
So, its after doing this that one gets the points for the visa subclass?

U can get this info n more from engineersaustralia.org.au
N now they only accept online applications so that means u will scan ur transcripts n all others docs. It depends if u want to assess just ur qualifications or qualifications n relevant skilled work...between 93000 and 140000. Estimated price range. Go to the website n surf

berexio1:
How do one go about qualification assessment? I am an engineer. Dooes it require my sch sending transcript or can I do it mysef online. And how much is the total cost in naira. Tnx

ok it must be up to 2yrs n get the required points n once this is satisfied ur eligible right?

NNBB2012:
Even with that, there is no guarantee that the person will be eligible. You must earn the required points.

ok that means once it's not up to 2yrs u have no chance whatsoever....I just wanted to be clear on this. thx a lot.

bossladymo1:
You have to study a minimum of 2 yrs.

bossladymo1
pls if someone does a masters n the duration is 18months can the person be eligible for PR applications in anyway?

if u read the thread u will notice there r some accountants that had to include their Ivan to get a positive assessment n those that didn't have went to get one cos of the experience of others. so I guess its best u wait n use ur ican. check thru this thread n u will see how pingu2k5 coached some people.

kubbiebrownie:
yes I have ican but dont have my certificate yet. Doing the induction in November this year so I can get it. I feel November is a long time to wait. Probably I shld jst wait till then so I can include it with my bsc accounting degree. Pls advice

@NNBB2012 and the house
EA got back to me and said that my transcript is what will really be scrutinized so once it conforms to the standards they have set for a professional engineer then I'll be assessed as a professional engineer. I think y most people get associate degree assessment is due to some courses not done during the degree. all departmental courses done during my degree were also done in my ND. but I'll still send both for assessment. I'll suggest that everyone going for assessment shud try to find out courses being offered in that course around the world n try to make up for the ones not in their transcript. cos I think all assessing bodies compare the transcripts to a standard.

thx so much...didn't think of contacting them. I'll do so and let u know their response
[quote author=NNBB2012 post=35690245][/quote]

NNBB2012 pls I did a diploma in petroleum engineering and then got direct entry admission to also study petroleum engineering but now did 4yrs instead of 5. is this an issue for me?

futo has computer science and information management technology. both r 5yrs cos all courses in futo r 5yrs.

bossladymo1:
Ehn ehn! Wow! I feel like you just told me Santa is real lol.

By ICT, I mean courses like computer science o...abi another type dey?

ok that means u booked ur flight to SA n booked it outta SA so no one asked for anything at the airport...cool. I get the wisdom now

izykvision0:
Nope. U don't even need a transit visa, except u wanna leave d airport or visit neighbouring countries like Botswana etc.

this means u had to get an SA visa first right?

izykvision0:
Ooh not checked. Was approx. N478k, but after payment with currency convertion via MasterCard etc I paid N501k in total for a family of 3 (infant inclusive). Amount for Singapore airline was in ZAR.

Ethiopian Airline:
Lagos 1:15pm to Addis: 8:50pm
Addis: 11:30pm to Jburg: 4:40am
Total: 11 hrs 45mins

Singapore Airline: ( same arrival date of ist leg)
Jburg: 1:45pm to Changi: 6:10am
Changi: 7:45am to Melb: 5:10pm
Total:19hrs 25mins

BKings:
Does EA accept PTE?
