Thank you for this feedback. I was already planning on patronizing him this week ooo....

Guest911:


Dude whatsup na, I recommended someone to this thread to get a MacBook. I've gotten two MacBooks from this thread one from you and twinskenny. no complaint.

But my guy has been complaining about battery and speaker issues, I'm sure you can recall. I mean as the item is in bad condition e.g speaker issues, you should've mentioned that or at least provide at least a way to resolve the issue. I mean I dey part of the people wey dey vouch for you offline. it should mean something na.

Does your wife have a Degree certificate that carries the same date with that which is on her passport? This CO is very lenient. You need to thank God for this request ooo. Some persons might receive NJL because of this disparity in age ooo. However you need to careful on how you respond to this request to avoid future misrepresentation. My advice is for you to get a sworn affidavit to claim of the documents carry a wrong age, but be very careful which of them you will declare incorrect.

Nedunwam:
Goodeveing dear friends, please I need your humble advice. I applied for a 190 visa since April 2019, the C.O just contacted few days ago. My wife's WAEC certificate has a different date of birth to what is on her passport. The C.Os only request is to provide updated certificate with the correct information. And she added (if applicable). Pls see a screen shot of the request. Pls I need advice dear friends as that seem to be the only thing between me and ausiee.pls advice a brother. Belong and others pls

I understand your fears with IETLS. It will interest you that you can use PTE (Pearson Test of English) in lieu of IELTS/TOFEL. You can contact me if you have further questions on PTE

diran18:
Please I need list of universities or college in Australia that don't require IELTS/TOFEL to gain admission.
Please house help with it... Thanks

From experience, AIMS will not award you a MLS. This is due to our country factor and the way they rate some of our qualifications from Nigeria. Be rest assured they'll give you MLT in lieu of MLS with an option to further get MLS when you arrive Australia. However, this is subject to your decision afterwards.

My Opinion: Half bread is better than chin-chin

Mamabigboy:

Thank you.
I wish to know the implications of being awarded med lab technician instead of scientist. Does this mean I am not eligible for subclass 189?

You can assess as a Medical Laboratory Technician which is assessed by AIMS. You can check their website to see the requirements. go through www.anzscosearch.com to search for that occupation. From there you can get the link to the assessing body's site.

Note that Medical Laboratory Technician is a skill 2 occupation which is what you'll be awarded even if you file for a Medical Laboratory Scientist.

Mamabigboy:
Good morning
I am new in this group. I intend to migrate to Australia with my husband and son but I dont know where to start from. I am a Medical Laboratory Scientist with 9 years work experience. I am 34. I am waiting for my IELTS result to be out on Friday.
Could anyone kindly put me through on how best to proceed?
Many thanks.

Congratulations, may the land favour you

And bringing sentiments into this matter is what makes things worse. Belong is a humble person. He has assisted countless number of applicants. Mistakes are inevitable especially when we desire some level of flexibility from the set rules. Now, the matter isn't an issue. The MOD has explained some things which is justifiable. Understanding and maturity is what needs to play out in this case.
How does selfish interest help this thread in anyway? Now, where is that part of a personal opinion? So, I cannot share my view in peace? Na wa ooo... I don't know why you are taking panadol on another man's headache. Belong himself is ready to make things work. The ability for us to see and reason together will move the thread forward...

farnet:


I know exactly where this is coming from. People's petty cravings and ambitions

Best contribution so far. You deserve some accolades for this

GoodMemory:
While I agree that Bellong’s contribution to this thread has been of tremendous value, we cannot, however, blame Justwise for upholding the rules and doing the right thing. Sometimes, we should be less emotional about how we see things. Have rules been flouted? Yes. Does Justwise have the right to punish if rules are infringed? Yes. So, what is all this fuss?

I don't think you got the information correctly.
The intent was not in any way to divide this forum. Nothing can ever be like this forum. Besides, there has been the existence of several WhatsApp groups after the inception of this forum. We will always come here and always get required assistance here.

Forum is different from groups. So, let's not bring up issues where there is none.

I appreciate your opinion. Your concern is well noted

In terms of proliferation, i don't see anything bad in it as far as the aim or motive is the same. It makes Chief Belong's job easier as not everyone have to wait for him to get required response(s). I made mention of it earlier, no one is a migration Agent in the group and we strongly frown at such as we also got the information for free. The idea is to get as many Nigerians to migrate. Canada has numerous groups and forums. The motive is same. I don't think Oga Belong ever had any monopoly of idea else we won't be here.

Thanks for your understanding

farnet:



I would think telegram group is a very bad idea, kind of proliferation as known with us Nigerians. It can't also be anywhere close to this beautiful thread we re enjoying here in terms of pagination n other flavours. Its lyk a flowing river, the kind that drives too much repetition s n redundancy of info n discussions. My take though, but will like to be seeing every activity here. Haven't seen any drawback here to warrant dividing n migrating info n people. Or is it anyanythingout an ego of building or administering a group?

[b][/b]There is a telegram group for those who are interested where we share useful information on migration. It used to be a WhatsApp group but by popular demand we decided to move to Telegram yesterday to accommodate more people. If you wish to join us, check the link in my Signature.

Note: we have prospective migrants and already migrated fellows in the group. No one is an Agent, no one collects money for sharing any information in the group. It's for like minds who wish to migrate to Australia.

Thanks Oga Belong for bringing us this far.


I believe soon a lot of people will realise what this man has done I our generation. I can't wait to meet you in person sir Belong

Truth be told if i read your initial post very well. You said you studied Botany.

Botany is a 4yr course, and it's not directly a lieu of Agricultural Science. Botany is the study of plants. Agriculture is vast. So, I hope this gives you your answer. You can pm if you are still in doubt.

demmy40:


I have 5 years of experience as an Agronomist but I don't know if that would be okay. Anyway, the same documents have been sent to you earlier, please check again sir.

Thank you in anticipation.

Wow....thank you for this bros. Let me check for Tailor

Ytechconst:


Exactly, see the qualification requirements from TRA guideline below.

Does it mean that people who didn't go to school at all but have trained as a cabinet maker and has trade test certificate can't fly?

Ytechconst:


Firstly I’d advise you assess base of any field you have a 2-3years formal education in the trade from a technical school because TRA mandates you have a formal education in the trade aside trade test certificate.

Also on challenge with assessing for Plumbing field is that you are required to travel down to one of the OSAP recognized country like South Africa to have a practical assessment and that might cost a lot of time and resources. So I’d advice you look through the requirement for welders field.

Visit the TRA link below:
https://www.tradesrecognitionaustralia.gov.au/programs/migration-skills-assessment

I actually assessed for Cabinetmaking and all I submitted was my Trade Test Certificate 3&2, Technical College Diploma and National Technical Certificate all in Furniture Craft and Cabinet Making that I’ve earned as far back as 2003. Then a job reference letter, pay slips for the past 10years, LIRS tax card.

With all the above after 3months of filing in for assessment I was asked to contact my technical school and also the federal ministry of labour and productivity that issued my qualifications to send them a verification email confirming I earn my qualifications from them, I did as they requested and in a week time I got positive assessment.

I feel you bro...I'll advice you never to be disappointed. I believe if you tailor your JD (job description) to suit a closely related field or occupation e.g Pathology collector etc. You stand a better chance. Giving up is never a good option.

adekayo1234:
Good morning house... Thanks to everyone who has contributed in one way or the other to the success of this thread. I wish prospective applicants the very best.

After several hours of reading and researching with the resources on page 0, I've come to the conclusion that getting PR as a medical practitioner particular as a medical doctor is quite cumbersome and expensive.
Getting fully licensed alone is one heck of a journey and I guess it's the reason lots of Nigerian docs are not considering this route.

I'm so disappointed

Check again...I just sent you another message

Lajoie33:


Lol I'm a woman ooo. Ehen

LONG POST ALERT

The desire to leave the shores of this country became fully matured in December 2016.
At this time, I've missed so many opportunities due to lack of knowledge, pride and loyalty to motherland.
I don't need to bore you with my story...especially how I spent all the money I was forced to save up for Canny processing on my first automobile. The good news however is that, I am leaving finally, and for good! My family was granted Tas 489 Visa on 16th March 2019- the mail dropped at about 1:35am. And I gave way to tears! Sleep disappeared.

Congratulations on your ITA..if you don't mind, please which state gave your ITA and occupation. How long did it take to get ITA, visa class and points. Thanks.

applepiepr:
Hello people,

For those who have gotten grant, I beg what did you submit to proof your employment?

I just got my ITA, but now am confused about how to proof employment for two of the companies I worked because they didn't pay regularly and no pension/tax return.

Please help.

Bellaz takes PTE Tuesdays and Wednesdays only.

GreenMavro:
Good morning FAM....does Bellaz write PTE test on Saturdays? Because UKEAS told me dy only write the exam Monday's to Wednesdays and I am usually chances on Saturdays.

Only International Passport is accepted

desertboom:


Thanks for your responses

What about National ID

You can register without International passport but you need International Passport for identification on test day. DL is not allowed.

desertboom:
Please, can someone register PTE without International Passport?
If yes, can one also use like drivers license or National ID to identify himself and write the exam?
Thanks

I actually don't know what tier it is classified as but I also graduated there and I think I understand your curiosity. I can say if you studied a 5yr course you are very good to go. Although some courses with 4yr still get their assessment. It all depends on what occupation you want to assess.

jimcollins136:
Hello House,

Is UNN Nsukka a tier 1 university?

Thanks

Alphadoor:


Just go ahead and report the thread.
I don't see any other way around it.

Also, you can gather your evidence against the accusation as a pro-active move should in case things go south

OK, thanks alot for your response. Honestly, the issue is just an issue without a Proof. No one even knows the particular person that posted such a post. But, do you have any idea how long it takes to treat cases of a reported post?

trastar:


This is interesting...

Interesting really. That's why something needs to be done fast to avoid any troubles. I don't know if one reports such a post, how fast it will be treated or sorted. Advice is needed on which appropriate way to get rid of such thing fast enough
