But a married person can simply lie to be single. How possibly would this be checkmated? Just wondering if it is as simple as it seems

That De-Factor attachments Is where they will hook you.
So long you have a kid, I believe you are already with De-Factors until proven not married or married.

If one lies, he can never bring his child to OZ or else through adoption process.
Those people smart.

Changes to the points test from 16th November 2019
Changes to the points test from November 2019 –

The amendments introduce a revised points system for the subclass 491 visa as well as existing General Skilled Migration (489,189,190) visas. Points are awarded for attributes that are linked with the applicant’s ability to make the greatest economic contribution, as the key purpose of the skilled migration program is to maximise the economic benefits of migration to Australia.

The changes to the points test are to introduce:

· more points for having a skilled spouse or de facto partner (10 points);

· more points for applicants nominated by a State or Territory government or sponsored by a family member residing in regional Australia (15 points);

· more points for having certain STEM qualifications (10 points);

· points for applicants who do not have a spouse or de facto partner (10 points); and

· points for applicants with a spouse or de facto partner who has

· First – primary applicants with aspouse or de facto partner

· Equal First – primary applicants without a spouse or de facto partner

· Second – Primary applicants with a spouse or de facto partner who can demonstrate competent English but does not have the skills for skilled partner points (age and skills)

· Third – Primary applicants with a partner who is ineligible for either competent English or Skilled partner points. These applicants will be ranked below all other cohorts, if all other points claims are equal.

Other Notes
If you are granted this New Regional visa you cannot be granted any other permanent visa of any category for 3 years.

You are fee to move to other states but you must reside in Regional Australia until

Some of you may have read my grant testimony on the other thread, so I will skip that part. I worked as an Auditor with a Big4 in too much time to get back to me. Kiwi's are really nice and welcoming. Those days I'll be walking on the street and see a black person, we must acknowledge each other oh (lol). New Zealand is also beautiful, rented could have lived in NZ and gotten NZ passport but Australia is the bigger of the two countries.

2. I felt NZ is

4. My brother lives there, I thought I might as well be close to family.

I just want to say to anyone who is already living in Australia or coming from Naija. Mehn, apply for jobs in NZ, you just might be lucky. I met people while in NZ who also got jobs from Naija, so don't write it off. Also if I had a family, I definitely would have stayed back in NZ, in my opinion it has a more wholesome feel and good for raising a family which might be better than Australia. Next time I will share my "settling in" story for Australia (moved to Melbourne 6 months ago), stay tuned �

Oh by the way I went shopping for Nigerian stuff I Melbourne a few weeks ago. I walked out looking at my tiny bag with items that cost me about a hundred bucks, lol (see receipt for items bought, don't ask me what I cancelled ��‍♂️)

P.S. excuse my typos

Thanks for sharing.
W w, so Condoms costs that much?

Realityshot & Extraterrestial

There is no hint in the write-up that suggests businessmen/politicians shouldn't invest in Nigeria. I only mentioned investment in Australia within the narrow context of gaining respect and helping immigrants in Australia.

Businessmen can invest in Nigeria, Australia or anywhere in the world. Proceeds and profits (in dollars) will be injected into Nigerian economy.

I completely agree with you that investing in Nigeria is very important and I think it probably should have been number 1 on the list. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

About Investments; I know some people that find it difficult to invest anywhere that is not their Hometown or Region, judging from the information I gathered here (Abuja-Naija) locally.
They'don't be thinking that in their old age they may have to travel back home.

That is to say, investing is usually a thing of the heart/mind.

@dikachi12

There is no possibility of such ban...
You are only banned by EA from assessing with EA.
If you decide to go with VETASSES, you should be fine and well within your right to do.

Well.. if what you said is correct, goodluck to him.

I judged with what happened to my close palz Visa Application.
She was denied because someone on EFCC list tried to help her & the persons account was frozen by the Agency here in Nigeria just weeks after she submitted.
They denied her and she reFired and got banned 4Life.

So, I was just judging with that.

Dikachi12:

Nna...na only Bellong Hollam stand, others believes in the saying; when 0ne crosses a bridge, he prays for the bridge to break.
Forgetting he may still need it or refer it to someone when them monitoring humans starts asking questions about their own line of study.after they might have seen your picture uploads And S/he does not have the idea of that particular line clearly.

Please, using a courier company to send a 40kg stuff from Australia to Nigeria would cost how much abeg?

Maybe FedEx or DHL.

I hope this will raise someone's spirit

I got a positive outcome as professional engineer from EA today.
Submitted on Jan 23rd, Austransaction paid without wasting time(he is very GOOD)
Request to rewrite 2 of career episodes, recent tax certificate and recent payslip on 14th Feb(this broke my heart after spending alot of time to be perfect with the career episodes)
Request submitted on 11th March
Positive outcome on 13th March.

All 9yrs of experience approved.

Next hurdle is English test.

Well...i suggest you Creates an E0I while waiting for the IELTs upgrade.
Although the next picks would be 11 of April, Grace differs and yours may come before you could scream Jack Robinson.

Mo234:
Thank you so much for the response. Much appreciated. However, my heart broke as you mentioned 65points because that is going to be the case once I turn 33 in July. The point will just drop to 65point

I Believes in "Natural Selection"; The Nature chooses whom it wants to choose an at their appointed time.
Do the Right things(Assessment & Eoi) and force nothing.

65points is what they said we should gather in the first place.Right?

GoodLuck

Mo234:
Please, recently (late 2018 or 2019) who has gotten ITA with a 70points score for ICT Business or System Analyst

There ars things you cannot control and the ones you are at the drivers seat.
ITA most times depends on what they want or how high you are able to score.
You have 70 Points? You've done well for yourself, just sit and wait for nature to play its cause..

GoodNews is, their new law states that even if your EOI has lasted for up to A Year, E.g 65 points in the next financial year whenever them 65 pointers are being called upon, that they'd start from old applicants.

Goodluck.

awonugaoluwadar:
Good evening everyone,

so my partner and myself have been on the canada journey for a while but finally realized it's not for us, since we both don't have masters. we did our assessment with both EA and Vetassess and came out positive. Bellow is our point

1. Age-30
2. Experience -10
3. Education - 15
4. English test - 10
5. Spouse Experience - 5

I will want to know if we are fine for the 189 visa class or we need to take the English test and target 20 point which proves very difficult for us.

Oga Bellong and other oga's in the house kindly out. Thanks

Get into that pool first and be looking for that 20point

Nnesonia:
Pls how to I register for the exam plsss. I don't want to use agents cos it over 90,000 .

tunlex01:
Goodnews! South Australia is updating its occupation list by February 11. Check out the link below.

We should just apply and allow nature to play our cassette for us.

firpemi:

I don't use to play my cassette but; Well...I Tried Study visa 2015 and was rejected.

Dats my point breakdown

Why is your English Zero?
What did you use to get assessed?
What is your IELTS scores?

Waylesdowels:
Bsc/HND Mechanical Engineering.
Submitted my application for visa 190( General fitter..NSW) on december 3.
But am a bit confused abt proof for English Proficiency for Spouse.....of which,i have uploaded english proficiency from her school, trancript,admission letter and certificate. Heard from frds that those proof wont be enough. Pls can u clear me on dis

Are you aiming for spouse 5 point?
If you are; that means you still have a lot to do.
I believe you know that she must be assessed and for one to be assessed, one of the criteria is that they must have at least 6marks-across in IELTS or other English tests?

But if she is not giving you any point, I do not know if it would be required.
Maybe while lodging Visa; 4 or 5 marks in IELTS may be needed as a grown up that is coming in with you.

Our grey hairs may chip in if there is anything to correct.

TRed:
Find below requirement to assess with a post graduate degree that do not require an ICT degree for admission:


A rough estimate of your points assuming your PG degree is not related to ICT project manager below:
Age: 25pts
Education: 15pts:
Experience: 5pts (you will loose 5years; 4years before PgDip graduation and 1year after. You will be left with 3yrs)
English: 20pts
State sponsorship: 10pts
Total: 75pts

Based on the current trend, your best chance of getting a nomination for ICT project manager is South Australia on 489 but the occupation is on high point at the moment.

Since you are open to go for a 489 nomination, I'll suggest you assess with TRA for ICT customer support because it is still available on SA's state sponsorship with low points. With that you will be able to claim at least 5 yrs of work experience with your HND completion date. Your possible points will be;

Age: 25pts
Education:15 points (PgDip)
English : 10pts
Experience: 10pts
State sponsorship: 10pts
Total: 70pts

I thought someone can remove his PGD to claim a Maximum work experience point and put it back while lodging IN for Visa?

I believe i have read something of that nature here but with Masters Degree?

dayo4:
I was given the Engineering Technologist outcome because my transcript didn't show sufficient Telecommunications engineering contents. I think it happened to someone else too despite the fact that he has around 5yrs experience. It is easier for someone who studied Electrical & Electronic Engineering to claim either Electrical or Electronic Engineer than other profession.

Pool is free, enter into the pool with what you have and aim for Professional Engineering.
ITA & acceptance is the goal.

An Adage: Tree near tree na Eim make monkey dey fly.

bellong:
If you indeed copied from the internet, your appeal cannot achieve anything. There is a specific instruction about plagiarism on their website which you should have adhered to.

However, if you didn't copy, appeal and show evidence that it originated from you.

Well i marvelled when i came across his post and would want to know how much matching is needed for them to consider someone's work a plagiarism?

Because in Engineering, one is taught through a written notebook or handnote which i believe was copied from somewhere; now you understands that writting exactly was you were taught and how it was taught may hand you a Ban?.

But Bro, if age is still on yourside, 12months na till december. Free them and re-apply by January 2020.

Ytechconst:
Thanks. My qualification was obtained from Government Technical College in Ikotun. certificate and diploma plus trade test certificate in Cabinet making works I got a long time ago since 2004.

Infact I never thought the certificate would be useful to show me the route to Australia, all other degree and professional certificate I have couldn’t.

Almost all the state are looking for you except Western Aussie.

Apply to all of em and give them 2months for acceptance after getting ITA from all of them. for a better offer.

Cert III is a goal too.

AquilaOvum:
Does that mean going through the masters degree route will be better?
I'm interested in psychiatric nursing.

That's it.
Get in an attack from the inside. (Good attacks oOo )

Xerona:
ok, let me go straight the point. My husband did use an agent, cos the guy gave him 100% assurance. It was actually a visit visa. He made a down payment of 250k, and 450 to be paid once visa comes out. I think the guy scammed us. See reason for refusal below

They don't trust 3rd world countries with Sub 600.
Most people that had gotten such did so by submitting evidences of them going to conferences in many other country and returning without violating their visas; unless you have such evidence(s), it will be difficult.
And y'all suppose attach some tangible evidence of solid link back home.
-Landing Property.
-Ongoing Business that you are playing a major part in.
-Conferences attended* (local & International*)
-Then Grace.(what worked for Mr.A may not work for Mr.B)

vikmeek:

Hi fams! Nice work here. I've been trying to read through the pages but everyone here seems to be talking in advanced terms.

Albany, WA. Small town with roughly 35,000 people only . Space just dey everywhere.

Boats for whale watching tours are there too, and not to expensive- per Australian costs, lol. Don't convert to naira.

Beauty lies in Space.
That is one thing Africans-Nigerians cannever comprehend.

For Europeans: after the space, they'd spend money again to beautify the space also. (Nigerian mentality; who wan waste money for that place?)

jonababa:
Please if my spouse studied accounting just like I did but doesn't have work experience, will I be able to claim the spouse points?

If i get this right, you are the PA? And you probably have some experience right?
Your wife can assess her's and be able to give you 5point that you required.
I don't think she having an experience matter.

Others that has passed through the same hurdle will chip in.

WinningSun:
like how much do you save in Nigeria

Hahahaha, still waiting for this answer tho. Because na Akawo (Daily contribution) we dey use save for this town.
