Hello kindly use a gt current acct to pay as against saving acct.

I am using my current account. I used my gtb card but it was declined

Hello house,



I tried paying WES C$234 using my gtb card but it was denied. Please how does one pay for this from Nigeria. Anybody have similar problem?

living2k:
Hello House, please can I send my documents to WES (I am sending photocopies of my foreign degrees and transcript as )through someone travelling to the US? Or do I have to send it from nigeria? I paid for the CAN 234

Pls can anybody be kind enough to answer me? Thanks

JesusDWay:
By 'evaluated document', i mean the evaluation result. A softcopy will first be sent to you and then a hardcopy will be shipped to you same day and yes, all at a cost of 234CAD

God bless you! I will come with more questions later. Let me get this one done now. and prepare for my ielts scheduled for november

JesusDWay:
You are paying the same flat rate of either 233.91 CAD or 322 CAD(if you want them to send the evaluated document to you via courier). Ignore the WAEC part, its not necessary, evaluate only your foreign degrees

So to confirm, I will just evaluate both bachelors and masters, with the translations and transcripts and all at a total cost is C$234?
Why would one want the evaluated documents send back? Are they not all photocopies?

Hello house,

I have been a silent reader and now want to take the plunge. However, I have these questions:


1. On lists of document to send. It says our Secondary School Certificate must be sent in Directly by WAEC. How does one go about this?

2. I possess an Engineering Bachelors and Masters Degrees. Do I need to send both for Evaluation from WES?

3. What is the cost from WES, because I have foreign degrees from a Eastern European Country. Is it a flat rate?

If ure paying for Vetassess dowload theor credit authourization form, fill and email back to them. Your payment should leave ur acct the next day or two. Just fund ur naira acct. That is all. You need to be quick and do this b4 23rd when they go on break, because from Jan1 Vetassess starts ACS style of cutting work experience.

Why are u paying for translation Was ur degree taught in a non- English language? If not aint for u.

I finally paid online, but I didn't fill out any credit authorization form oh! What do u need it for since it is all online.

Care to elaborate on the bolded part?

Also I am still getting the documents ready(assembling these docs take time)? Do I have to get all docs ready before I send in my application to VETASSES? If not can't see how can make the 23rd dec deadline
Or can one just send in the applcation, then one can pay and slowly upload the docs?

Will like to appreciate all in here for the information and assistance rendered so far

Use your GTB mastercard, it will be converted to AUD from USD.

Alternatively, if you want to do a wire transfer, send the USD equivalent.



Get in touch with gogochocolate, Manmeta, Crestline etc. They are all engineers.

Ok, so as long I have US$ in a/c right? The conversion will be done abi?

A wire transfer? Could you elabora8?

jennykadry:
Metallurgy is a field the indians go into. Thats all I know

Indians are in any field naah. Lol!Ok thanks , I hope you having a nice time in Naija

bossladyMo:
Are you applying for the visa already?

What kind of trouble are you having with GTB? Is your card enabled for int'l transactions? Is your limit higher than the cost of the visa?

You can try another bank's mastercard or visa. I don't know about paying into account.

No, I am not yet. I need some docs translated b4 I send in my docs to vetassess.I wanted to transfer AUD but on my online only allows $,€ and £. No aussie dollar what to do? Any ideas

jennykadry:
NO vex..oya post the question

How I go vex? Naa not at all. I know say enjoyment dey to much. I have done my research just reassuring hearing from someone living there. Prospects for metallurgist? Esp physical metallurgist not extractive metallurgist. I believe Perth is the place I realised have good opportunities. What are your opinions?

bossladyMo:
For both present and past employers, you need -

Employer reference/Statutory declaration
Payslips
Bank Statement/Tax documents.

Most important of the 3 are the employer reference/Stat dec and Bank Statements/Tax docs.

If you can't get employer reference from your past employer, you need to get a stat dec.

I am having trouble paying with gtb master card. I was given the National Australian bank to pay into a certain amount and the a/c but it is in AUD. How do I use my naira to pay?Can I do it online? Abeg please help me.

bossladyMo:
Yeap you are. Duties listed must be the same as your nominated occupation.

You also need payslips and bank statements/tax documents, showing salary deposits.

You mean all these documents in bold? I can get all those from my present but for the past probably only bank statement/tax documents.

bossladyMo:
Here are the details I want info on

Pls what is the estimated living costs per month, for a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids under 2). I've been getting some quotes online, but you know whities own definition of average standard of living is different from a Nigerian's definition lol.We intend staying in a 1-bedroom apt, with or without carpark at first, pending the time we get a job and can move to a 2...just to manage our savings. No luxurious living, just the basic needs sorted and maybe a few luxuries here and there e.g few eat outs, outing for the kids.

BossladyMo, I wanted to find out as per the work experience documents is there any thing one must pay attention to?I intend to ask the companies I worked for to address 'To whom it may concern' to DIBP. Am I on the right path?

Jennykadry, too much enjoyment you no fit answer my question again

jennykadry:
Jenny is in Nigeria, eating my mothers food.

Kai, I can just feel your ear to ear smile. You dey chop mummy food, you no fit answer my question. Too much enjoyment. What are you eating sef?Lol. Abeg do chop and answer. I dey wait you steady.

Thanks bossylady Mo, gogochocolate. I hope you won't mind when I start asking for more information. For now though I will work on getting my docs, where I hit a snag I will inform you all. Where is jennykadry? I wanted to know the opportunity metallurgist have in australia.

bossladyMo:
Yea you do. You have to get it in Abuja though

BossyladyMo, you were assessed by VETASSESS. I have gone thru the website but is it a paper based application or online. It is not really clear. Also how does one pay the fee in AUD? Can one use his gtb card? On a much lighter note, how long does it take for one to be prepared for IELTS in your opinion?

Please house what is the average preparation time for IELTS?1month, 2months? Appreciate your advice

bossladyMo:
Yeap!...GSM (General Skilled Migration)

1)Apologies for my rate response. I was out of town. Engineers Australia have guidelines on their site detailing how to present your CDR. You must follow their guidelines and write three CDR (approx 1000 words each) detailing what you have done in the past few year under :introduction, engineering activities you carried out and an evaluation of the outcome of your activities ( challenges you faced and solution proffered).
2)You should apply for 189 visa as it allows you to stay anywhere in Australia without regional restrictions.
3) Engineers Australia have detailed checklist that specifies what document you need to submit for evaluation but i know of transcripts, passport bio data page, references, credentials, CV, professional development program etc.
4) i advise you visit torrentz.com for IELTS materials and download torrentz.com . You will find lots and lots of IELTS materials to last you for over a year at torrentz. I used it when writing mine and i had an aggregate of 8.5 ( Reading 9, Speaking 8, Listening 8.5, Writing . Try and search for Target IELTS 7 and download it for your writing practice. For me the writing exam was the most difficult and you should devote time to writing or else you go see score of 5. Speaking is like normal job interview just make sure you don't allow local accents interfere with your speech. Listening watch out for the letter "R". Their "R" is not stressed like we do here. All nouns must start with Capital letters. Remember to dot all the "I"s and cross all the "T"s in your computer market sheet.
Good Luck

Actually I possess a B.Tech Metallurgy not Materials(some engineering mix it together others seperately) and M.Eng also in Metallurgy it is assessed by VETASSESS. It however only states 4 visa types. General Skilled Migration(GSM), Employer Nomination Scheme(ENS), Regional Sponsored Migration Schemee (RSMS) or a Temporary Graduate Visa(Subclass 485). Which should I choose? I am assuming GSM ? Is there anything I should beware of?
