Thanks, I'm already a member of Expat Forum and started my Australia journey there. I never cared to search for CDR there coz I wasn't expecting I'll need it coz I thought with my UK Msc, I can use Washington Accord. But thanks to Nairaland.com I'm now on the right track.

I'll be nominating Chemical Engineering.

Wow, nice thread. So much to learn here.

I already have 476 Visa, and used it during the last graduate recruitment period. I got opportunities to do 6 aptitude tests, and 3 interviews; all online because I applied from Nigeria. I agree with Malkinburg that it's hard to get a job with this visa subclass as some of the feedbacks I got from applications pointed towArds my visa or residency status. In fact, to be considerate, most of the jobs I applied to, clearly stated citizenship/PR as main criteria; I chose to apply anyway and got regret mails. There are few companies that were willing to sponsor me, 3 of which I had interviews with, but you'll agree that the competition will be very high for these coys willing to sponsor. I didn't get any offer on the last round of graduate recruitment.

However, considering the current situation of things in Nigeria, high cost of living and hardly any relevant (engineering) job opportunities; I'm now set to migrate to Aussie with my 476 visa. I'm determined to compete, but I haven't set exaggerated expectations as I know the limitations of the visa. So, my main goal is to obtain PR. As Malkinburg rightly said, one can hope to get unskilled job (which I must warn is also very hard to get these days as read on expatforums) and save for the PR applications. So, I'll start with the 18 months I have, and work towards making it permanent.

I never knew we have this many Nigerian migrants in Aussie or planning to, I would have planned my departure a bit earlier. My initial fright has been boredom or loneliness in a strange land. I hope to connect with more peeps on ground. Though, I can't seem to read anyone in melbourne or planning to. This thread was long overdue; all the searched I made returned the thread for Australian Student Visa. I'm glad to have connected with peeps here. Cheers

the subclass 476 visa is no different to the 485 subclass in terms of job considerations. Honest truth is companies don't want to employ and train u only for u to start explaining that your visa will run out soon. For engineers, what I have seen is offer of fixed term contracts on that category. If your deemed indispensable your sponsored. In black and white all that postwork and 476 visa era where jobs waited for you yafuyafu ended in 2012. My advice is come anyway and try your luck. Worst case you still make money doing semi skilled roles which are easier to come by.

One has to be wondering, Keshi just left the national football team as a Chief Coach and was succeeded by Onigbinde. Few days after his death, Onigbinde followed. May God help us.

Nice to see that folks are still posting and keeping the thread alive despite having to start the thread afresh after losing so many pages to the great 'Nairaland crash'. Some folks have hit the nail on the head, nobody or organization is worth putting your life on hold for. My honest tip to every person still expecting the call (& I said this with a sense of deja vu) is to continue as if you weren't waiting for any call (mind you this has got nothing to do with your faith). I salute everyone who has contributed to this thread and wish all those waiting the best of luck...

What sort of visa will you be applying for?
