Ladon7: Assessing for Secondary School Teacher does not require work experience. You can get a positive assessment without work experience. Work experience only comes to play if you need to claim points with it. |

toslad: How many points do you need? Remarking is not guaranteed increase in score, and might end up being a waste of time and money. Why not just go for PTE? |

In addition to what Bellong as rightfully said... The weather in NT is generally hotter than many parts of Australia...although Alice Springs is a bit cooler and also gets snow/hail at times. Unemployment in Darwin is the second lowest in Australia. Government incentives to buy houses is highest in NT. The first home owners grant, home improvement grants etc, all make it relatively easy for a first home buyer to buy a house and do renovations. Depending on your occupation, you can try to create a link between your job and the Indigenous people (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders). Anything that improves the lives of Indigenous people is highly welcome, viable, and financially 'fruitful' as well. Talk about places like Tennent Creek, Katherine etc, to show how deep you have researched. Don't just focus on Darwin. Talk about the alcohol purchase law and how it will be beneficial to you and your young family, as you can rest assured on the fact that the govt is clamping down on excessive alcohol purchases and use.

Ladon7: You stand a better chance with WA, as long as you meet their eligibility requirements. As for VIC...they are quite picky, true...but someone here got VIC sponsorship. He did have a very good qualifications package though. But hey...yoi can give it a go as well. |

Ladon7: You are very lucky. You have 2 occupations to choose from...Secondary School Teacher and Chemist. No. You can't count your teaching work experience. Only work experience as a Chemist, relevant work experience, counts. Remember, there are 2 states open to Chemists. WA and VIC. WA requires at least 3yrs relevant work experience. VIC requires about 2 at least, but are VERY PICKY. 1 Like |

bellong: You sef know abi? Lol. Northern Territory Police even gives free housing join sef. The Police Custody Officer position in Melbourne is another good one. They are actively recruiting now, and the recruiting process is quite fast. Not as highly paid (Nothing in Melbourne is highly paid anyways yimu), but a starting salary of about 55k - 60k (penalties included). You also have the Police Auxiliary in NT. They are sworn members as well, but with slightly different duties. It does not have a swimming requirement or a high physicals requirement. It has 3 streams, and only 1 even requires a physical. 3 Likes |

Right now, to be sincere, if you want a job and you want a job fast, the Northern Territory is the place to be. Many people swarm to the large cities like Sydney, Melbourne etc where there is more competition IMO. For a Civil Engineer for example, Darwin is your best bet for now. There is construction on every street, and it is the 2nd fastest going city, after Melbourne. Darwin also has the second lowest unemployment rate, only second to ACT, and the gap between Darwin and the 3rd lowest is quite large. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Yeap. Bellong has given some important info as well. I don't take my Family Tax Benefit yearly though...I take it fortnightly and I have never owed money. The koko is to give a good estimate of your income, and update it with Centrelink IF it changes. But when you settle in well, and have hit the jackpot lol, you can take it yearly....but by then sef, you might not even qualify for it sef or qualify for just little, due to your income. I discussed the Police idea with someone a few lages back as well. It is a really good option. Ifexsco 2 Likes |

Ifexsco: Your PR visa is for 5yrs. It allows you go in and out of the country for 5yrs, and allows you stay indefinitely in the country. It is expected that you would have gotten citizenship within those 5yrs. If by any chance you haven't gotten citizenship within those 5yrs, and you intend leaving the country for whatever reason, you will need a Resident Return Visa (RRV) to re-enter. A RRV takes about 1-2business days to get if you apply onshore, and about 1 week if overseas. There are some eligibility criteria for the RRV though. You must have resided for at least 2yrs in the 5yr period before applying for the RRV. It is not necessarily 2yrs at a stretch, but 2yrs cumulatively. You must enter before 2017 means you must validate your visa before Feb 2017, as you cannot enter after your medical or pcc expires. It does not mean you have to settle in Australia. You can validate the trip and relocate at a later date. Family Tax Benefit will considerably help with settling in. If you had a baby less than 12months ago or so (not sure), you can get up to 750 per fortnight...depending on your income. It is hard to give general advice, unless you can say the state you will be settling in and how old your kid(s) is/are. Let me know. I am huge believer of 'Don't let anyone tell you some jobs are not for migrants'. Don't listen to such advice. If you want a lecturing job, you can get it. Approach the different unis around you, or email their HR dept. You can also look at other job adverts and see what their general requirements are. You might even get here and decide to change careers altogether. However, in the meanwhile, many new migrants do a quick course in disability support or individual care. That will enable you get a job in healthcare support industry. You can get the certificate 3 for free, as many states...if not all...have a certificate 3 guarantee program. Disability support/individual care jobs can pay anywhere from 25 dollars per hr and above, excluding penalty rates. 7 Likes 1 Share |

amazingraze: If it is a 5yr degree, it will definitely be assessed positively. I'm sure you did a practical year during the degree. There is a section on the form to add that, and also another section to include your final year project. You have to choose an aspect of Agriculture you consult in. You can be a crop farming consultant, livestock farming consultant etc. Just pretty much write down what you do in formal language. Low learning hours? Never heard that before. Anyways...I'm sure your timetable for the degree was Monday to Friday, 6-8hrs per day, so you should have no issues with that. |

jbonito: I'm a lady lol. No, you won't be going via post-study work visa route. After getting the pgd, you apply for a skill assessment. Once you get the skill assessment, you apply for your 189 or 190 PR visa via the skilled migration route.. If you are still in Australia on a valid visa when you apply, you will ge a bridging visa that would enable you remain onshore till your PR is approved. You can't get a post-study work visa, as it is only 1yr study, but you will get something even better...permanent residency. |

jbonito Why don't you enrol in a Postgrad diploma in Education? and use that as a route to PR? You can get a skill assessment as a teacher with your Naija BSc + Aus Pgd, without work experience. Just do your 1yr (9mths) pgd, then apply for skill assessment onshore. Once you get a positive assessment, you can apply for 189 or 190. Pgd is about 21k...but it is faster than diploma or masters, and gives you a higher qualification sef. 1 Like |

ugsams: I can answer as I came to Australia based on a similar occupation and qualification. 1. Your school has to send it directly to VETASSESS. Nigeria and Pakistan are the only 2 countries that have to do that...go figure. My uni was kind enough to even include a certified copy of my certificate in the transcript envelope. So I didn't have to pay to send my certificate myself. I've forgotten the name of the courier company that was used, but it wasn't DHL or Fedex or one of the big names. It got there in 5working days and my school gave me the tracking number. It is no biggie actually, I'm sure you are not the first person to have them send a transcript overseas. 2a. I wasn't called, neither was my employer. But it depends sha. They might call, and they might decide to not call. 2b. You can include NYSC experience. It counts. My NYSC experience wasn't relevant though, but I still included it in my application...as you need to explain any gaps in employment. 2c. It won't be a problem, depending on your occupation. The required experience needed by vetassess is 1-3yrs post qualification, depending on what category your occupation is, and your profile. So for example, Agric. Consultant is category A, and requires a highly relevant qualification plus 1yr experience at least.....while a category b occupation might not require a highly relevant qualification, but lets you make up for it in work experience (2 or more years). 2d. All I submitted was payslips and reference letter. They might request for more evidence, and they might not. It is really at their discretion. 2e. The unwritten rule for payslips is - Your very first one (to confirm when you truly started), a couple in the middle (maybe 2/3 per each year of work), and then your very last one before submitting your application (to show you still work there). 2f. See 2e 2g. See 2e...replace payslips with bank statements. 3. Agricultural Consultant. P.S - Do yourself and the Vetassess Assessor a favour...merge similar pdf files into one. e.g all payslips or bank statements into one single file. 3 Likes |

Olisedinma: You don't need a work experience assessment, as long as you're sure your duties correlate with the job description for your nominated occupation. Remember you can only claim work experience gotten AFTER your deemed skilled date i.e the year you obtained whatever qualification you are presenting. |

Cynthized: Check their website for the core courses you shoulf have done and have listed on your transcript. UNN is highly regarded tho, it is just a matter of course content and if it matches IPA's requirement. |

uzziii: Someone on the previous version of this thread, got assessed positively based on his Nigerian degree in Architecture. Loads of others have used their basic BSc to obtain a positive assessment. That aside, not all Nigerian degrees are assessed positively. But i can almost guarantee that 5yr degrees from any uni, and 4yr degrees from Federal unis and a few state unis, qualify. E.g Someone from IMSU got a negative assessment, while someone from OAU got a positive assessment...both 4yr courses...same assessing body. |

Esty4eva: If your school is refusing to email you a copy, you can ask vetassess to email you a copy. This is after you have received your assessment outcome though. Yes, you can use a statement of result or letter of attainment. |

Olisedinma: The way Accountant assessments go is, your qualification and employment are assessed seperately. So you can obtain a qualifications assessment only, and forget about getting a skilled employment assessment, as long as you have the compulsory units for Accountants on your transcript. However, if you intend claiming points for work experience, then you work experience needs to be relevant to your nominated occupation. So you can't claim points under Accountant, based on Internal Auditor work experience. Best is for you to assess as an I/E Auditor, and assess your skilled work experience to claim points. |

Freece: 1. It depends. If her Bachelor degree is found equal to an Australian degree, then she can claim points from 2005. But if she needs her ICAN to boost her BSc, then she can only claim points from 2010. 2. 65 points is competitive enough. If she is in doubt, NSW is sponsoring for 190 as well. But she should be fine for 189/65pts. 3. Being a Naija applicant, I doubt any other method will be available for her to use. You can email VETASSESS or check their website for mode of payment. I doubt they would accept a money order or cheque from Naija tho. Which uni is her BSc from? |
