1. I work in a project development company.

2. I am at the assistant manager level.

3. I do most of the work; from designing and maintaining company's websites, to clerical works such document preparation, oversee environmental consulting jobs, to troubleshooting company's systems and many more.

4. The problem is that the company does not appreciate all my efforts. They push every blame on me.

The owner and his son are just so inconsiderate. For example, I was working on a project that required attachment of some sensitive documents.

Once it was time, I requested for the documents from the owner, instead he provided me with different documents entirely. Many times, he will shout at me for asking questions. So I assumed that he didn't want the documents out in the public.

While reviewing my work, the owner was okay with the attached documents until he decided to make presentation with the work to prospects.

As soon as the prospects registered dissatisfaction with the out of place documents (So to say), he called and started blasting me on the phone, calling me stup!d and stuff. He would always let me take the fall for his own mistakes all the time.

His son on the other hand is just too empty and overbearing. His father would always ask him to supervise any project I'm working on.
He would okay many things and I can't say otherwise.

When we present the project to his father and the father decides to query any part of the things which he okayed earlier, he will push all the blames on me and the father will call to nag and lambast me for things I know nothing about.

This has been going on for like 3 years now.

My regret was that I turned down an offer from a small oil company in Lagos last year and early this year too.

My current pay is 300,000 NGN without accommodation, while the Lagos' was 350,000 NGN with accommodation.

I'm currently in Abuja. I was scared of the traffic in Lagos.

I really don't know what to do anymore...

This issue is affecting my mental health.

This guy talks down on me anyhow without respect.

This is a guy that can't properly put together a common letter.

As plan B, I have set up two blogs and Google just approved Adsense application on one, while I'm working on the other one.
I have also set up Facebook pages and have grown to over 232,000 active followers.

I am also an environmental consultant with over 15 years experience, I also major in GIS and I design websites too.

I am married with 2 kids. What should I do?

From the looks, you have a solid professional skillset and attitude. I advise you speak to someone in HR field to help you tell your career story in a well packaged CV and LinkedIn profile. With the above, it's obvious you can get a better place in good time.

All the best!

Hi all and happy new year,

I need guidance and advice on how to pay for 189 application from Nigeria. What are the reasonable, practical and safe/trustworthy options I can explore?

Many thanks in advance for helpful responses.

Congratulations, again.
Get a Dom Account. Get a Card, and pay the dollar equivalent into the card
That's probably your best bet

hadjipapiey:



Thanksfor your response.. Do you mean my course of study isn't in anyway relative to the occupation list? I just checked https://www.anzscosearch.com/skilled-occupation-list/ now, and there's no show in the list. perherps i donbbt know how to check.. may i mail you or something for a better guide?

Thanks

That's why I asked if you could run through the list to see anyone you could apply for there, because I didn't find.
Perhaps other people can weigh in here but I really don't know what further help I can render at this point.

dapatro:
Good day,
Please my school ask me to pay my fees before I will be issued CoE, I was given an option of using western union since its faster
But I tried western union it only has an option of paying with card in naira equivalent, now the issue is that I'm supposed to pay 3.2million which is not possible with one card.

I have tried going to the bank but its not helping
I was told that using form A is going to take a long time

Please can anyone give me a good advice as time is against me

https://barter.me
Read about this app. I believe it should work for your need. Cheers

hadjipapiey:


Someone should pls come to my aid biko

Not ignoring sir. Just yet to find an occupation you can apply under that's in the occupation list. Perhaps you can check Anzsco Search and share.

Hi guys am new here, I want to start my OR application to Australia, this is my first post on this thread, my profile is as follows

COS: Chemical Engineering
Qualification: BEng 2015
University: Nnamdi Azikiwe University
Job: Process Engineer
Experience: 5 years

Please what are my chances?

Read back some 10 pages or so.
You'd see at least a post on calculating your points. When we know the points, it's easier to work from there.
PS - Experience means you have proof of payment either via payslips, tax docs, pension docs and/or bank statements.

enambobo:
Course of study- Civil Engineering
Years of experience - 5 years in Design/ construction (NYSC inclusive)
Age - 28 years
Marital status- single

How do I go from here please?

Read back some 10 pages or so.
You'd see at least a post on calculating your points. Do that first (excluding your NYSC year - it won't count for experience) and let's take it from there.

olajidela:
@tunlex01 and @knight1
I have a family of 5, because of the cost of the visa can I apply for myself alone first and then my family later?
Or me and my wife first then the kids later?
Just weighing my options.
Thanks

Apologies. Hadn't noticed there wasn't a response to this.

I don't know what stage of the application you are in but it's always key to be honest with their system so on the first level, declare that you have. Wife and kids.

Now if you've been invited, I'd suggest you at least go with your wife. I've read of people waiting years before their partners could join them. By the time you are invited, you have an almost 100% chance of being nominated provided you can provide evidence to back your points. So I'd recommend you do all to move with your wife, at least

AA11:
@tunlex01 and @Knight1 please I need your advice and that of every other member of this group.

My husband total score for visa subclass 491 is 95 inclusive of the 15points for regional. While for 190 he has 85 inclusive of 5points for state nomination. Now the issue here is he was previously denied dependent visa subclass 500 twice while I was still studying in Australia.

However, his now applying as the primary applicant for visa 491 and/or 190 (depends on which one sends invites first). The question here is do you think his refusal for dependent visa will be a red flag for him while applying for the PR.

N.b his applying as the primary applicant while I go in as his dependent this time because he studied engineering and graduated with a first class, has an IELTS of 8.5 in L, S, W, and 9.0 in Reading. Also 6years work experience inclusive of NYSC experience. Also note that I studied accounting and isn't lucrative as a pathway for PR that's why am not applying.

Thanks as I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Unless he was refused on grounds of health or character, I doubt it would be a problem, to the best of my knowledge.
Can't say I know sufficiently to advice on that so I'd recommend this Facebook Group for questions you may not have answers for here.

Where do we start from please? Thanks You.

Hello. The only occupation I have seen related to your discipline is Aquaculture Farmer [121111: Plan, organise, control, coordinate and perform farming operations to breed and raise fish and other aquatic stock.]
If the description above matches what you do at work, then Good first step.

From what I have seen, the only Visa you are eligible for is 491 Visa but that's not a problem. In fact, you can apply right now to South Australia seeing that you have 8 years of experience. Please note that you'd need a minimum of 7.5 (in each of the Modules ie Listening, Writing, Speaking, Reading) in IELTS and minimum point of 65 ( This can be calculated here: https://www.anzscosearch.com/points-test/ )

The Organisation that will assess you is VETASSESS ( https://www.vetassess.com.au/ ) I am not familiar with their processes but I believe their website as well as info from this group should help. You'd need evidence of payment to prove you've been employed for all that period which typically is one or more of the below:

Payment evidence:

Payment evidence can include one of the following types:
Pay slips (ideally your first and last payslip);
Taxation Records of Assessment (bearing company and applicant name)
Bank Statements showing at least two salary payments, your name and the employer's name; OR
Employment-linked insurance / superannuation records (bearing company and applicant name).


If you are able to scale the IELTS hurdle, I really believe you have a great chance because it's not a common profession. Wishing you all the best!

Pls I'd be travelling soon.. Can someone tell me how I can maintain my sim in Australia


I don't want to be changing sims cos I want to keep my contacts

You can transfer your contacts to your Phone as Tunlex suggested.
You can also save your contacts on your Google Account, so that once you sign into Google on any new phone, your contacts are sent in.

Hello guys,

Please, I'm making this enquiry for a relative ..

HUSBAND
Qualifications: Bsc, MSc ( Will soon be completed) in Veterinary Medicine.
Work experience: 3 years
Age: 35yo

WIFE
Qualifications: Bsc. Nursing
Work experience: 1year
Age: 27yo

These guys have a 1yr old child. Please, what is the best route for them to migrate to Australia? Can they get job directly from Nigeria? Or is Canada better for their profiles? I'm a bit confused on the best place for them.

I would really appreciate any sincere advice here.


Thanks so much!

I don't know about Medicine but Nursing is very much in demand in Aussie and would be in the near future. I recommend the wife should endeavour to get an English coach for either PTE or IELTS so she can get the maximum points (79 minimum each in PTE and Band 8 in IELTS). Then she should check the specialty of nursing that is rarest like aged care, critical care etc. However, you can definitely check out the Vet profession.

Electrical and electronics engineering(B.Eng)-2018

3 years as a Technical Support Engineer ( 1 year working as an Independent contractor remotely)

Calculated my points without including any experience and I have 65 which is the minimum. Did this because I am not sure I'll be able to provide all the documents needed for verification especially as an Independent Contractor.

Any advice and tips will be appreciated.

As an independent contractor, you can obtain tax for your payment, along with your bank statement. Go to your nearest Tax office and they should guide you. Hopefully, it would be allowed. I would also request you to study and rewrite IELTS. From your results, you clearly can get a minimum of 8 in all bands. That's an additional 10 points, taking you to 75 points. I also suggest you assess as an Electrical if you are going to go via the Engineers Australia route as there's more shortage of Electrical Engineers than most. 75 + 15points on 491 is a good chance, IMO.

msrhema:
Good morning house. My husband and I are interested in migrating to Australia. I have tried to follow this thread but I need some advice. Below are our details for you to give us advice

Age: 31
Occupation:Tax Accountant 4 years experience
Qualification.: Bsc Accounting and finance
Msc logistics
Ielts score : listening-8, Reading-8, Writing-8, Speaking-9
Overall- 8.5

Husband
Age 39
Occupation: Management consultant (Accountant)
Qualification: Bsc Accounting, and ICAN with over 13 years experience
IELTS SCORE: Listening-8, Reading-7.5, writing-8, speaking 9
Overall - 8

Please what are our options?
Can I claim tax accountant without professional qualifications?
Can my husband’s ICAN certificate be evaluated for better points?

Whose profile will look better as a primary applicant between my husband and I?

Thanks a lot guys.

Australia doesn't use Overall scores for IELTS
They use minimum scores.
If you minimum score is 7, you get 10 points
if it is 8, you get 20 points
so on that score, I'd advise the husband to try IELTS again so he can get maximum experience points and English experience points since he's so close already.
About the Accounting thing, I'd wait for Tunlex to weigh in as I don't know much about that. I can tell you that it is very competitive though.

I align with @tunlex01 in suggesting that you assess with EA. If you are going to assess as an Engineer, I recommend that you assess as ELECTRICAL ENGINEER. There's a shortage of anything ELECTRICAL in Aussie and the demand is predicted to be strong for a few years. Electronics Engineer doesn't have as much demand.

I don't know how many years of experience you have but if you do anything REMOTELY related to electrical engineering, and have payslips, pension, tax and/or bank statements that reflect steady income, then attempt to claim that experience with a well written CDR.

Hi Everyone.
Just thought I'd share.
If you are trying to get assessed, you should check out this list to see the occupation that you can choose that will also be in demand in the future
https://www.nationalskillscommission.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-06/Skills%20Priority%20List%20Occupation%20List_0.pdf?fbclid=IwAR3tWIvgRqPXaKzUBhbxjyzOXz13AtMzZoZlenRotXvGsqitfNWJ3EYPMZk

Check where there is shortage (S) and if possible try to go along those lines so that even if your points aren't so high, you have a good chance.

NHQGUY:
I'll like to find out.
I started working in July of 2014, by this year July that puts me at 8years work experience.
Unfortunately VETASSESS took out a year and started counting from July of 2015.

Can I apply by July this year when I'll have hit the 8years work experience requirement or I have to wait for next year as VETASSESS insist I started in 2015.

Also is there a near possibility of this work experience requirement been reviewed soon to accommodate others?

Please don't apply if you don't have the qualifications BASED ON THEIR OWN ASSESSMENT.
It is better to apply with their assessment, be invited based on that and then the CO decides that your previous experience is relevant than for you to apply and claim higher number of years than you've been deemed and then they shut you down.
That's my advice tho

Hope rising, fingers crossed.

Good day to everyone in the house...

I appreciate your good work in helping us know how beautiful a country like Australia is; the good life, culture, cost of living, employment, etc.

Please i am a Geologist by profession. But I have a hand work as an electrician with certificate for about 7 years now.

I am processing a skilled work visa to Australia through an agent since 1st of December, 2021. This agent is one I have been using for my previous visas to China since 2018 before Covid 19 . From what we agreed on, the agent said he is going to help me get a 1 year direct work visa to a company in Australia. A week today, the agent called and told me that my invitation letter is out, and that the visa he is applying for me is a PR 189 visa. He said that when I get to Australia, that my first one year will look like a test from the company, and if they find competence in me, I will be retained with a PR 189 visa that will enable me work anywhere in Australia. He also said that from the look of things, that the visa should be ready before the end of March, 2022.

Please house, I want to know how "true" this information can be? I already paid him 400k for processing fee. The actual money charged is 2.7M..... Thanks

189 visa is almost dead. They invite ultra-high points for high skill level in demand.
189 is a SKILLED INDEPENDENT visa which means it is not for direct work
Electrician and Geologist are not in the PMSOL ie Priority skill list
He didn't ask you for proof of your experience either Tax, or Payslips
And then the processing time for 189 visa is over 9 months. March is NEXT month
I can assure you that the agent either doesn't know what he's saying or he's a scammer.

victor54:


Yea, this is goodnews. But my EA assessment expired last November. Please how do I go about getting a new letter before February when my IELTS will 3yrs so that I can try my luck in any NSW region?

I'm sure this is possible and you should do it as quickly as you can, but I don't know how to do it, unfortunately.
Perhaps search online or on these Australian Migration Facebook groups.

NSW now open for offshore. Hopefully others will follow soon.
May our prayers be answered.

Offshore candidates
Offshore candidates skilled in occupations within some ANZSCO unit groups will now be considered in invitation rounds. These unit groups are identified with a tick (✔) under the 'Offshore' column below.

3. Is it better to use a fast track service of 20 days or go through the normal processing service of 12 weeks with Engineers Australia

4.If I'm the primary applicant, does my partner's visa refusal from Canada affect our chance of getting an Australian visa?

5. Is it possible to get a grant even with the border closed?

Age: 33
IELTS LSRW 8.5 777 (for both my partner and I)
BEng Chemical Engineering
MSc Petrochemical Engineering
Work: Chemical Engineer (4 years)
Married

1. MSc is a degree, not work experience. With them, Work means full time employment with payment and tax records so you can't use it to claim experience.

2. Be as descriptive as possible, using relevant technical terms. Eg I chose a 3mm (measurement) steel rod over iron because the tensile strength (technical term) was calculated to be higher (informed decision making) using the ChisZom formula, ie, C2*H² bla bla. Don't overdo it though.

3. The borders are closed, till likely next year. Fast track is largely useless to you at this point. I'd do the 12 weeks.

4. Your Canada issue has nothing to do with this, unless it was based on a criminal issue

5. Is it possible? Yes. Is it likely? NO. Unless you have like 100 points on 189 in an occupation on PMSOL and have an employer ready to sponsor you, it's unlikely to get a grant now.

Mcslize:


Your point is quite high though. How did you end up with 85 for 189? That means 190 will give you 90.

Can you give a break down of your points?

Please kindly share link to the labour statistics. Thank you

https://www.anzscosearch.com/skills-priority-list/

I suppose it can help guide folks in choosing an occupation to assess for, alongside the backlog of that occupation.

Hi @bellong and guys

could someone Kindly help me understand something, please.

Pro-rata occupations are supposed to be the ones in high demand, according to all that I have read
However, when I saw the recently released Labour statistics, my assessed occupation - Electronics Engineer, which is pro-rata is "no shortage" and demand for the next 5 years is expected to be "moderate". Now I'm wondering why I shouldn't have just assessed for Electrical Engineer which has a Shortage in all states and Strong demand for the next few years.

So is it possible for an occupation to be pro-rata and not have high demand?
and would you recommend I assess freshly as Electrical Engineer?
(currently on 85 points on 189)

bemagnify:
no body want to answer me

Sorry.

If you are trying to migrate for PR, then you are to take GENERAL for IELTS
At some point, an officer may ask for POF but it isn't something they generally require from everybody. It may just be your case officer who is interested in seeing it, SoI guess: NO POF structure.

RodeDindu:

Ok, is the ACS Manual accessible on their website? Kindly be specific, is it for First degree or Masters. You know how NUC keeps adding and removing courses in the curriculum.

Here https://www.acs.org.au/msa/information-for-applicants.html
Scroll down to Skill Assessment Guidelines for Applicants. It's on the bottom and will download a pdf document.
Please read everything carefully especially from page 7.

What they do is:
They review your transcript and count the number of credit units DIRECTLY related to computing (usually things that have computer in the name or Software etc) and then calculate the percentage of that against your total credit units in the degree program.
What I recommend is that you look at the transcript for both Bachelors and Masters and see which one has a higher percentage.
Then you can choose whether the MAsters or the Bachelors is your preferred degree for assessment.

Otherwise, you may have to assess in an engineering profession like ELectronics Engineer or something like that
