Pls,how much did charge for the infant?

They didn't give a breakdown. I initially wanted my infant to have a seat because he turns two few days before the trip. When the ticket came and he was booked as an infant, I decided to take it like that because I know that they will charge extra for him to have a seat.

frank043:
One and or two adults nko?

I don't know about that. I think someone mentioned a single adult fare earlier.

I am now looking at either melbourne or sydney.
Inspire of all I said, it's generally harder to secure a job when you are offshore. I[b]n my case I used Skype to get an Australian landline number which is presently on my resume[/b] and using a friend's address in Perth.
I would be relocating by early 2018. I hope this helps. Cheers

I think I should explore this option.
How did you get the line via Skype pls[/quote]

nosula:
My fellow chemical engineer. Please I would like to know the fare price when IOM responds to you. Thanks

They just did. It's roughly 1.6M. 2 adults, 2 children and 1 infant. We plenty for our yard

Tyosho,
Thanks for doing justice as usual I don dey pack my boxes o.

It's wonderful to have a thread like this.

Oya oga Vinsmuft, 4mula22, catchwind4rmkd....pls report to the diary room here ....come and top up

I hope to contribute my own quota soon by God's grace.

Meanwhile, these IOM people take forever to reply mails o

catchdwind4rmkd:
Mate,
peeps here would do better.
I didn't claim experience and ain't conversant with the requirements of the reference.
Thanks @tkos for offering to help.
There are also 2 chemical engineers here who I believe claimed experience, they will be able to review it better.

@bornlegend send me a pm. I might be of help....thats if you haven't gotten it sorted out.

Good day famz, please for those who have assessed experience or provided proof of employment iduring assessment with EA, is my employment letter and pension statement adequate enough? I'm writing an episode based on work experience now. Meanwhile the pension is the monthly or quarterly email statement from my PFA and it uses pin so I will need to tell the assessor the pin for opening the doc .

You will also need your pay slips and tax payment verification records. You can scan the front and back of your tax ID card as well.
For your PFA, put in your pin, print the document And then scan in colour. You don't need to give your pin to your assessor. My pay slips come with pin and this is what I did.
Hope this helps.

Another strategy I adopted was to apply for the exact position I held while in Nigeria, since this matched the position being advertised, I guess it was easy for the recruiter to sell my profile to the client. All the glory belongs to God[/quote]Words of wisdom! Thank you for this.

DIRECT GRANT: August 28, 2017
DATE OF FIRST ENTRY: August 25, 2018
CO Team: Adelaide[/quote]Wow! Congrats. Go and flourish!

balogz:
thank you bro and do you think it's advisable to use a certified true copy of my transcript for assessment.At the moment I only have a photocopy of my transcript with me and my university has been under lock for quite sometimes.

Speaking from experience, just upload the transcript you have at the moment. Your assessor will most likely get back to you asking you to request for a transcript from your school to be sent straight to EA in care of him/her (the assessor). Most likely you will be given enough time to do that but if the time is not enough, reply the assessor and explain reasons why you need more time.
I advise you start thinking of how to process the transcript now.

balogz:
Thank you and what Wud u consider as a well written CDR?

First step,
Download the EA MSA brochure. Go through it carefully. Look through what is expected of you in your area of engineering expertise. Then you have to make sure that your career episodes demonstrates ALL that is expected of you in your area of expertise. Do not ignore any aspect.
All the best.

Hello Bellong,
I'm in the process of submitting a request for assessment to EA. I noticed a field where CDR is uploaded which asks for evidence of membership of professional organisation. I have a B.Eng in Civil Engineering with more than 5 years work experience. I have not referenced registration with a professional body as part of my Continuing Development. Please advise if non membership of a professional organization such as NSE and/or COREN would not impact the outcome of an EA assessment provided I'm able to demonstrate alternative opportunities that I have leveraged to keeping abreast with my qualification.
Best-

Hi,
in my opinion, like lalaazo said, do a registration with NSE if you can. It makes your packaging tight. That's what I did and it worked for me. There's a place where they ask you to upload evidence of membership to professional bodies. Won't look nice to leave that place blank and you claim you have practicing. Hope you catch my drift?
All the best!

Hi,

Read through as much as you can. I'm sure you will get almost all the answers to the questions. If there are any other questions to ask, the gurus there will assist. But first, you have to do the homework of reading through.
All the best!

bornlegend:
Thanks Zany,

I got my letter, the extract is attached here

Since you have already been assessed positively, I think you can only claim points for the classification which you have been assessed. QA and engineering tech don't relate. That's what I think. Alternatively, work on your english score to bag more points ask you dont need to claim experience.
Make others help you torchlight the matter.

[quote author=OzyMigrant post=60163855]LONG-POST/GRANT ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations. God bless you and yours!

Happy birthday Abdul Rahman. God bless and keep you, Amen!

Omaibaji:
Sabi Mamas, your opinion is needed pls. I have had this cold that wont go away for one week now. I have licked all the VitC in the market but it wont go. Occasionally i sneeze so hard that I'm scared it could affect LO. Do you think its worth seeing my doctor for? N/B it does not affect my sleep. Am not sure anything can, hubby calls me sleepy sleepy wife.

Pele....I had cold for the whole 9 months of pregnancy. It stopped immediately after delivery. It's part of the package. It's nothing to worry about, vit c is okay but u can complain to your doctor on your next clinic day. Happy bumping!

Congrats Apple19. God bless your home more.

My condolences to your neighbor ahnie. God will comfort them.

Funmz, congratulations, the blessings of the Lord maketh rich and addeth no sorrow! Your testimony shall be full.
