Hello house
Am about lodging my visa app. I got an offer from Rmit to study masters in mech. Engrg and will be accepting it next week
Have you got an undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering? If yes, you can apply for permanent residency straightaway.

There's another thread on this:

And even if you still want to study, you get to pay cheaper fees versus what you'd pay as an international student.

Hello and congrats (a bit late)
Did the bolded affect the contents of your CDR? I'm also an engineer (albeit civil). Your response is eagerly awaited.
No, it didn't; I used experiences from my employment period to prepare my CDR, backed with reference letters. My assessment was completed within the EA stipulated fasttrack time.

You can use the emirates baggage calculator on their website.

Last Year, I moved 39kg or thereabout without issue. LAG to SIN via DXB
Yea, done that. I'm just wondering cos my allowance is different from what others have been saying, which is 40kg.
Mine states "2 Pieces" only on the ticket- with 23kg being the allowance per piece as contained in the baggage calculator.

Thanks all the same. There probably is a reason for the difference.

[quote author=dunsinogundele post=54612959][/quote]Just spoke with the 3rd Emirates agent and they all say it's 2 pieces of 23kg travelling from Nigeria to Australia- same with the policy on the website.

However where are people seeing the 40kg?

To all who bought tickets recently, was it stated on your ticket as 40kg? Or in IOM's email.
Pls clarify. Cheers.

dunsinogundele:
Dear Bellong and other Gurus, I have another set of questions:

1. IOM stated that 40Kg baggage allowance is allowed for each adult and children, is this separate from hand luggage that can been put in the luggage compartment of the plane. Is the 40kg written on your ticket? Or in IOM's email? As this baggage allowance from IOM is lesser than the (23kgx2)pieces stated on the Emirates website. Pls confirm.

Meanwhile, to your query, in addition to checked baggage, you still have 7kg hand luggage for sure


2. Does the 40Kg mean one bag or weight can be split into two. Two

3. Has anyone been successful with getting PTA from the bank using one way relocation flight ticket and PR visa or is this restricted to return trips alone. Highly unlikely to get PTA without a return ticket

Sorry I'm asking a lot of questions but I no wan miss road as my journey don near

Thanks in advance.

dunsinogundele:
Dear Bellong and other Gurus, please I need clarification on the following questions;
1. I secured my flight to Aussie for mid April with IOM and they booked emirate for me and my family. Do we need to contact Emirate so we would be guaranteed sitting together on the flight?

2. Is it possible to renew my passport before expiration?, I am traveling next month and pasport would expire in May.
In addition, know that there is a charge (CHF 25) per seat selection based on the class of tickets purchased through IOM (economy special, I believe). However, Emirates usually try to seat families with kids together.

With the current scarcity of Nigerian passports at Immigration offices nationwide, I'd suggest you contact Emirates and re-confirm that you can travel with this almost-expired passport (as it's a PR visa not short-term)- the travel requirement states "a passport valid on arrival''. This is so you don't start the passport renewal process and it isn't complete before your travel date, leaving you in a quagmire- whereas your travel could have been done with the almost expired passport.

I want to thank all those who made this possible starting with my first post on this forum asking for advice whether to make payment for a master's programme or wait for ITA.

TravelRe: General Guide To Australian Permanent Resident Visa Through Skilled Migration. by jukeblam(m): 8:32pm On Mar 09, 2017
@mctowel01, just work towards getting your Nigerian drivers licence; that IDL is a waste of money. I acquired one through one FRSC guy (although it isn't issued by FRSC); cost me 8000 two years ago; got to my destination, couldn't even rent a vehicle with it, couldn't use it as a form of ID. Nothing. There is even no DOB indicated on the one gotten here in Nigeria. Imagine if one get's stopped by a traffic cop, you could be deemed as possessing a fake licence.

Moreover, an IDL is deemed valid when accompanied by a valid driver's licence from one's home country; so if you'll present it, you'll have to present the home licence too.

I'll say try all to obtain the Nigerian driver's licence.

Lol, i think it might raise flags if DIPB realises that your experience has been reduced, yet you still went ahead to claim them. You can still verify from those with better knowledge.
Omooloriredade:
Question: Why then do 'Vetassess people' always complain of having their relevant experience duration slashed? If Vetassess slash am, replay am for DIBP nah.
r
Like mctowel01 said, VETASSESS is a different ball game. The outcome letter shows the reduced number of years as the ones 'relevant' to that occupation- so best to stick with that.

EA is just advantageous and we engineers are glad!

P.S. I can't dash you your own money nah smiley

Omooloriredade:
That was what I understood from his post too. However what I gleened from following this thread is that you could assess experience with EA and decide not to claim experience with DIBP. In this case, no employment/ experience verification will be done by DIBP leading to a faster outcome during visa application. Of course, 20pts from language test will be non-negotiable.

I would like anyone to clarify please because it makes economic sense not assessing experience with EA if I could still claim points for experience with DIBP. In fact, why would anyone wanna assess experience sef?
But then, how would an experience based CDR be verified without paying fee for experience assessment. Obviously confused abi? Ehn, help clear that area biko. Thanks.
damoche64:
@jukeblam, in clear term, are u saying someone can claim work experience point with dipb without accessing it with EA?
Yes

Assessment of relevant employment experience with EA is just an avoidable extra; skip that and save $280 AUD- apply the savings towards fasttrack ($275 AUD)

The reference letter(s) submitted with your MSA application is the main employment-related document for the experience-based CDR; I submitted only that, no employment letter, no promotion letter, no payslips just reference letters- for EA assessment.

When you claim work experience points on your EOI, DIBP will verify this based on the supporting documents you submit- payslips, employment, reference, promotion letters, tax returns et al; DIBP won't see EA's letter and say 'Oh well, no need to stress, EA has done the applicant's work experience assessment; let's just pick that' No. DIBP will email, call or even visit your employers as they so wish.

On the flip side, if you don't claim work experience on your EOI, DIBP won't need to verify and you still would have 'dashed' EA extra $280 AUD. Claim or no claim, you'll be gifting EA extra $280 AUD if you include 'Relevant Skilled Employment Assessment'.

Hope this is clear enough?

If DIBP still asks why you didn't assess your work experience with EA, mention my name. grin

SegunWamiri:
Just as the case is with DIBP, is it applicable to the assessing bodies too? I mean if one doesn't intend to claim points from experience, would VETASSES for instance bother with employment verification? My spouse has 5.5years of experience but 5years out of it isn't at the required skill level. So we are wondering if we should chill till she's one year (VETASSES Requirement) in the position that is at the required skill level or we could just round it up and submit soon.
AFAIK, EA is the only one with this peculiar advantage; every other assessing body requires proof of employment experience for assessment. I think you need that minimum 1 year for VETASSESS

Please clarify your second answer ....because I don't have much to spend on skill assessment. Event though, I really need to claim this work experience point since Mech needs 70pt to get ITA.
So, if it means assessing it first with EA before claiming it, I will do that. If not assessing it will still make me claim it ,ahh better(money saved).
To be clear, I am saying don't spend more than the cost for Standard Competency Demonstration Report (currently 750 AUD) plus the fast track fee of 275 AUD.

You will claim your work experience with DIBP to get the points i.e. on your EOI and then submit all relevant documents for that when applying for your visa.

I personally believe IELTS and TOEFL are easier than PTE. Though I have not done PTE before but I prefer to interact with human than a coded robot.. cheesy
IELTS and TOEFL can give 10 points, no sweat broken. For 20 points however, PTE is the way.
Notice that most who don't get 20 points often lose points in 'Speaking' section. The robot has a template to mark to grin; once that template can be followed, the rest na beans.

@Yeeshas, I would say google/youtube the speaking tips for PTE and retake. Once the speaking guide(s) can be followed, easy peasy.

20 points from PTE would give you 65 points, saving you the need to claim employment points and it's attendant paperwork; as well, shortening your time-to-grant since there is no DIBP employment verification to be performed. I mean, everyone wants that grant like yesterday.

@Ozymigrant, congratulations to you!
