WestGodspower:


Boss, I'm into I.T, web development to be precise. What will be the best route for me to take to get a working visa and relocate to Australia. I went to their website and saw something about it amongst skilled occupations but a lot of the grammar that they are using, i dont understand. Please advise me, thank you.

mamatwiny:
Nsw 491 to open on Monday! It will close on 23 and result will be out by 30th
Hurry if your occupation is still available.

tunlex01:
65 is not a myth, few people have gotten ITA for 491 with 65 points and more. The image you posted is only for 189 and family sponsored 491 which is different from the state/regional 491.

190 and 491 have different criteria per state and per occupation.

Lislekelsey:

Sir/ma. That was before. Since the year started that has not happened. Show me one single person who has gone in with your 65 and started their processing after nov 19th. One person pls

And you very much misquoted me. I'm not talking about before your regional sponsorship. Regional sponsorship alone adds 15points. Most ppl enter 90-95 immediately. So.....

Then most ppl here are talking from the past. Before everything was revised. No one here has mentioned starting processing after the revision of visas and meeting their cutoff. The ppl I know were not taken. Its why I've been following this thread. Looking for extra ways to get additional points just to meet up apart from schooling.

NB1912 , Naijabad and other seniors in the house please regarding Visa application

1. Is there possibility for October term 2020 be issued visa since there are still some restrictions?
Ans: There is a possibility, but I can't advise further. We will have to wait for announcement from the government.

2.what's the duration for Australia students visa?
Ans: It's usually the length of your study period. In most cases, the visa end date will be determined by the OSHC end date.

3.Pls I will be writting PTE Academic next month is it advisable to cancel the exam and write Ielts my first trial didn't really ace it 5.5broadband.
Ans: PTE is widely accepted for study and migration purpose. If you feel you have a better chance with PTE then there is no need to cancel. I find PTE to be easier.

Am using the Englisg test for visa issuance not for admission already got my offer letter.

valveraaaa:
This is nice,but will it favour july intake?

Ufodeking:
Good day everyone, is there any information about when flight travelling will commence in Australia (basically for international student)?

tunlex01: Babalola has responded to you. You don't stand a chance due to your degrees but your spouse does.

mamatwiny:


Please reconfirm this . He has CCNP and ACS accepts it but deducts from years of experience

Matoade:
Can someone pls explain the 5.0 in 7.0 grade point to me pls. @babajigga @AyaE

cflows:
how do i migratet o australia ?

NB1912:

1. Go to your university, your department to be specific, and request for your Course syllabus. They would definitely have it.

2. Get a letter from your university stating that your degree was undertaken in English.

adeyemi91:
Hello, congrats on your admission.
Pls someone should enlighten me on this mostly 1 and 2. I actually didn't write TOEFL but I selected an option that I did my studies in English language. Now, I don't know what I should use as proof.

Knight1:


Sigh.
IS there anything one can do about this migration now? or this is the end of the road?

NB1912:

First I need to clarify the above statement. In order to apply for ICT customer support officer with TRA you need to have an I.T degree in addition to minimum 3 years experience else the outcome will be negative. Regarding your question I want to believe you are referring to ICT Customer Support officer. To clarify, the 75 points that I mentioned is inclusive of state points for 491. For 190 offshore, you need 95 points (Inclusive of state points) for SA to sponsor you. Other 491 options are QLD (80 points; including 5 years experience) and NSW (5 years experience). You will need to check their requirement.

mamatwiny:


Please I need us to reconfirm this info for ICT customer support officer. For SA, It is not among those for high points. The 75points stated there is for state nomination, we need 75 points in addition to article 3.5 and the 3.5 states 8 years work experience with superior English, so without 3.5, we should apply for 491.
I also went ahead to confirm that it is ICT degree that is needed and not IT. ICT is much more than IT cos it involves communication tech. It is a broader scope.

lordkratos:

Mate, your comments are so helpful and succinct. I need to make an informed decision, can I PM you?

NB1912:
Looking at the above you have 8 years of IT support experience. The issue is if you go for ICT Support Engineer 263212 assessed by ACS, your degree is not I.T related, hence you will have to go via the ACS RPL route which will deduct 6 years of your experience. You are then left with only 2 years.

Another option will be to explore ICT Customer Support Officer 313112 assessed by TRA. You might be eligible for SA 190 and 491. Also it is less competitive and you only require 75 points (including state points) as specified by SA.

mamatwiny:

Please confirm the 75 pts is inclusive of the state points. I am currently doing assessment with TRA and they replied in their acknowledgement mail that processing time is 120 days. My target is 190 visa nomination with SA and I plan to write pte b4 the assessment comes out. I have been putting pressure on my brain on how to get band 8 in pte to be eligible for 190 cos I have the minimum years they require . if the 75 is state pt , then I can just target band 7 with ielts and also have hubby get band 6 . This is good news to me.

Good evening guys,

Please I need direction on how to go about the Australian Permanent Resident Visa, the ACS payment and which one should I take first, IELTS is still pending... I wanted to start that of Canada when a friend advised me to try Australia as he did not want me to be stranded along the way due to the calculated points (age 36 plus, no Masters).
I read Chemical Engineering - first degree
Started work around 2010 a Customer Service Representative-9 months
IT Support- 11 months
Project Management- 1 year 4 months
IT Support- 7yrs plus (till date)
I am an ITIL, OCA and CCNA certified....
Preparing for my IELTS
I know from my work experience I should be eligible for (263212 ICT Support Engineer)-Skilled Nominated (subclass 190).
Planning to go with my family- (Wife has a diploma with close age)

Thanking you in anticipation,

OK4.

Hi Pals,

Any chance for an 491 for any state without job offer.
Offshore
Occupation is Food Technologist.
EOI lodged @80 points for 491
65 for 190

NB1912:
There are schools that give admission without English test. Regarding your study gap, what were you doing sinc 2014?

chidex28:
Nothing really...just some side hustle here and der. How about the 2.2?

chidex28:
Though last year and a year before. I got denied by canada

chidex28:
Hello house, Please which Australian University accepts 2.2 for masters? Preferably without IELTS and what are my chances of getting a study visa if given admission considering my academic gap because my degree was in 2014.

tunlex01:


Valid points you have raised. At least, his occupations still have about 4-5 likelihood of nomination which most occupations don't even have at the moment.
VIC still sponsors 190 offshore, only its 491 that requires job offer.
NSW has two streams for 491 nomination (onshore and offshore) and the requirements are clearly spelt out.
If he has a superior English score, then he should have an edge and be able to apply to NSW, TAS, ACT and NT.
He can also go for Civil Engineering Draftsperson (CED) ---that occupation is less competitive than CE.

Insanity:
Hello house,

I am new in this Aussie forum and I wish to get some information before I start.
I am a Civil Engineer graduate with 6 years experience, I want to apply for Masters in any of the AL1 schools, i have checked the PR route but my points is 60, I didn't make the cutoff for 189. I graduated with 2.1 for my undergrad. and I will be writing my Pearson in a few weeks time because I have only IELTS general test at the moment which I think won't be accepted.

My questions are;
1. How much do I need in my account for the visa application?
2. Do I need Statement of account to apply to AL1 schools?
3. Can I use UKEAS for my application, as they are free? How good are they in the admission application? Any personal review from anyone that has used them before?
4. I have 14million in my account and I will be sponsoring myself, is this amount enough for the admission and visa application checks?
5. Any engineering masters program in the AL1 schools for November 2020 entry? I think I'm late for July admissions.

Please, help me out with any other information I don't have.

Thanks a lot for your assistance

tunlex01:

With 6 years experience, you are better off applying to 190 or 491 than student visa. Also note that 189 is not the only skilled visa #myopinion

NB1912: :
Go to Australia and stop wasting time on Canada. You will thank me latter.

Studyabroad111:

You’re very right but Australia tuition is way more expensive

ignis:


Are there more opportunities in Australia than Canada ?

NB1912: : Go to Australia and stop wasting time on Canada. You will thank me latter.

3 months upkeep @ 120 AUD/week @ 250 # 360,000.00
6 months rent @ 400 AUD/week @250 #2,400,000.00
2 Children school fees for 3 months @350 per child per week #2,100,000.00
A small car estimated at 2500AUD #625,000.00
