I answered yes but the question doesn't mandate me to provide details

Cool. That's fine then.

@ Majiouk2002; Form 1221, Question 39......what was your answer?

Just to draw your attention to consistency.

fonseca1929:
I did not really check.However,the default is usually 150dpi. Although, it is clear and i have used it in a number of successful applications,i will advice that you use at least 400dpi for application to EA.I have done up to 600dpi but no significant change because the student copy is not coloured.

I was actually trying to figure out why EA rejected your student copy. Mine is just two A4 paper in black and white except for the school stamp which is blue. As a rule do not go below 300dpi scan resolution when dealing with EA. I guess the transcript wasn't clear enough and CO wasn't convinced of its authenticity.

I suggest you get it stamped (If possible), scan at a minimum of 300dpi and explain to CO the strike action at your school.

fonseca1929:
Hi good friends,

I sent a mail to EA to inquire if I can send improve scan or a notarised copy and they replied 8 days ago that my assessor will respond to me shortly.

#Anticipating your kind response.Thank you.

Please what was the scan resolution of the student copy you uploaded?

kMan2204:
Please for those that have done EA assesment

The projects I used in my career episodes are from my internship (after graduation) and full-time employment with my present place of work. For the full-time employment, I have all documentary evidence such as bank payslips, employment letter, tax records e.t.c. However, for the internship period, I only have the letter of employment (signed and stamped) from the company, since it was kind of "free" as I was there to learn at the time before the employment opportunity opened up.

can I go on with the Assessment with these documents?

Don't leave out Reference letter for your full time experience. Check MSA booklet for more info.

Alphadoor:
There is option to reset password?

If u can't remember your EOI ID, it can be found in your inbox. Just search for skill select?

Am not sure DIBP can delete your account.

If the first EOI gets ITA, am not sure the second one will get for same visa type.

I think you should work harder on retrieving the first EOI. You can DM me for further perusal.
......
I maybe over thinking Sha...

Like I posted, it's a long story. Didn't realise I had made some attempt before leaving to attend to some other issue. I crossed the attempt threshold (5) leading to the locked EOI.
I did some digging. I read the FAQ. I have to create another EOI if password reset and browser switch is not successful. I have mailed the tech team to remove the previous EOI from skillselect. They don't unlock, reset or provide answers to security questions (from FAQ)

Thanks anyway.......well appreciated

Alphadoor:
Leave EOI...

It's a queue system based on points claimed and date claimed (Date of Effect).

Got my positive assessment a few days ago. Submitted my EOI immediately but I was forced to ditch it for a new EOI......long story
New EOI submitted with DOE 2/5/2017. Do I contact DIBP to remove previous EOI (locked already)? Same info both EOI but lost access to first one ( I know.......I goofed) Smh for myself.

UzorSteve:
I just registered for the engineering assessment on their assessment website. I did that on Thursday morning and I am yet to get a response.
The notification said I would be assigned and assessor but I have not got any response like I stated earlier.

Hope am on track?

No worries. If you can, lol, don't bother checking until about 30 to 33 days from submitted date. Checked almost everyday.
Mine went from "queued for assessment" to "assessment complete". Just received a mail and logged in to check.

Seajae:
Toefl it is then. Thank you

Toefl IBT.......The decision lies with you. Just be sure you have consulted and researched well enough. IELTS and PTE is common here. The most important thing is 'spanking' the test and in your own case, at the first attempt.

Seajae:
What of toefl fam? Do you know the price range as I'm trying to compare their respective prices before I finally decide? I've been advised to write toefl but I haven't been able to see any free materials on it unlike the PTE? If anyone has or knows who does please kindly tell me guys. Cheers

In the final analysis, It's not the cost that matters o. You should base your decision on the exam you're comfortable with and is acceptable for your intended purpose. Otherwise, you might end up paying the sum of all exams available.

asadiaboymma:
Thanks a lot Bellong and Babylove for your comments. I don't know why I can't access page 238 of this forum which is where I was hoping to see comments. Is anybody else experiencing similar thing? Abi na only me waka come?

Na only you waka come but people don waka come before you.
Try using another device to access the page.

majiouk2002:
hELLO EVERYONE, PLEASE I NEED YOUR ADVICE ON A QUESTION IN THE VISA APPLICATION. PLEASE ADVISE ME ON ANSWERING THIS QUESTION.

THANKS.

Further clarification needed please:
My Mum and a niece qualify as "dependent family members" but wondering if what they meant was the immediate family members like wife and kids. I think I came across an info that parents can no longer be added as dependents during visa application.

Alphadoor:
Thank You all for the words of encouragement


@mamajaz congratulations once more....

Sorry about the negative assessment. It's good you ain't allowing it to hold you down. The effort you put into researching info on this PR process is remarkable. It's evident from the answers you provide here even though your're still in the process. Same with Bnimz.

Congrats mamajaz. I know that feeling.

Speaking of the waiting game, I only just submitted my EA application 26th March, but I have had like three different dreams already. Good thing is they all turned out positive. Lol. I hate suspense.

majiouk2002:
Hello everyone, I have been asked by Engineer Australia to submit a Tax clearance certificate for a year of work experience I want to claim.

Can anyone please advice on what to do as I never paid tax during this period and therefore I don't have a tax clearance certificate.

I assume you an employee of an organization where tax is deducted from source. If so, request for a Tax Identification Number (TIN) from your HR/employer. This is because if you went directly to the IRS, you would most likely be redirected back to your HR. I am not sure you can complete this process within a comfortable period of time.

Your pension statement could be an alternative. You could request a soft copy from your Pension Adminstrators.

Congrats Tyosho.

Congrats Jamson and Bolaobby. The joy exuded through your posts is such a propelling force for others still in the process. I feel like quitting work just to focus on this PR. LOL

@ Jukeblam : It's as if you just dashed me AUD280.

But na wa for me o. I didn't know until now despite not missing a post.

Curiosity kills the cat. At this point, I feel like a student that is about to ask a question the teacher might consider silly and so may receive a dirty slap in return.

Question: Why then do 'Vetassess people' always complain of having their relevant experience duration slashed? If Vetassess slash am, replay am for DIBP nah.

mctowel01:
At least, there should be fast internet connection to stream online. Whats your occupation btw?

I can't imagine a fan of ......... staying awake at odd hours just to stream matches o. Not worth it mehn!
Occupation: Telecommunications Network Engineer
Degree: B.Eng Electrical

Congratulations Tyosho for safe landing. You shall prosper in the land.

But wait o, no live premiership matches for Down Under o except nah security work you dey do. Nah highlights we go dey watch when we wake up the next day.

damoche64:
@jukeblam, in clear term, are u saying someone can claim work experience point with dipb without accessing it with EA?

That was what I understood from his post too. However what I gleened from following this thread is that you could assess experience with EA and decide not to claim experience with DIBP. In this case, no employment/ experience verification will be done by DIBP leading to a faster outcome during visa application. Of course, 20pts from language test will be non-negotiable.

I would like anyone to clarify please because it makes economic sense not assessing experience with EA if I could still claim points for experience with DIBP. In fact, why would anyone wanna assess experience sef?
But then, how would an experience based CDR be verified without paying fee for experience assessment. Obviously confused abi? Ehn, help clear that area biko. Thanks.

michV:
Greetings to everyone..
please for those who recently got PR. how much in total do I budget for this entire process?

English exam: N68,000
EA (fast track): N360,000 (est. )
Visa fee: N1,260,000
Misc: N10,000
Total: N1,698,000

This, in my opinion, is the realistic estimate for the entire process. It would be less if you have access to forex at(or close) to official rate.

Assumptions: You're a single applicant and you ain't assessing your experience.

prettyirene:
Please is it possible to cancel my application from Vetassess and start afresh. I have already submitted my application for medical sales representative with 4years 6months experience but my former company is willing to give me a reference for 6years. Please house I need your urgent response. I have submitted my application, but not my documents for verification. Thanks

You mean your former company is willing to give a 6-yr ref instead of the 4.5-yr you actually spent there? That's like a falsified doc. It's not worth it in my opinion. Nothing can stop you from getting to heights God has destined you for. Is it not the same Vetassess that cuts years of experience anyhow?
Why not let your husband be the primary applicant as you were earlier advised? Is his 13 yrs experience not from working as a sales/marketing rep for an organization?

Vivienne01:
Please which banks have started issuing PTA? I'm interested.

Your bank inclusive.

Edit: Make enquiries where you bank. All commercial banks should be providing this service now except banks with cash problems (they might not be able to provide the equivalent Naira as direct deduction is made from their account with the CBN).

Solitin40:
Name of bank? and what is the rate and requirements

Approach your bank. You know it's all over the news, right? The new CBN policy on forex. A few banks have been sending messages to their customers already. I believe you would be attended to.

Nwokeomajayb:
I'm in Australia(Sydney) with a study visa. But I want to process my pr asap.
Age 29 but will be 30 this year
1st degree electrical electronics eng
5 years experience
English test not yet
My problem is how'll I start the processing in Australia. What Doc exactly do I need to provide?
That's why I said I need a guider who can just tell me start like this then I'll kick it from there.

Bro, I think you made a big mistake already and you should not continue along that path. I mean do proper research before you embark on a project. Your goal is PR, you only needed to write a CDR, English test and get other required documents for assessment with EA. You should not have gone the study visa route. The money spent already will have landed you in Down Under with cash to spare. It hurts to know you only just got there and cost of pursuing your masters is telling on you. Since your complaint is money based now. You probably thought the masters will confer some significant advantage. But not much really in your own case.

Okay.......download sample CDRs from the thread and use as GUIDE.
Prepare for your English test......IELTS or Toefl (cbt)
Follow through with the steps given by Bnimz.

See me o.......forming 'sabi'. Lol

Bnimz:
Thanks

The record will stand for a while longer.. . the COs are currently over 2 weeks behind the lodgement dates.. . effect of december shutdown

I won't be surprised if you have packed your bag already. You fit travel the next day grant arrives sef. Lol

I rejoice with everyone that got ITAs yesterday. Val day to remember. Lol. Congrats.

tyosho:
Yes I don vex be that.

If I don buy car and you are coming to melbourne,yea I will pick up.

Correct! You're too much. Lol.

tyosho:
Oga,I spoke about my experience and how it MIGHT have influenced my getting 20points.

Speak about yours that fetched you 10points without quoting me and saying what you feel is necessary or not.
Like Alphadoor adviced,people should study hard regardless of whatever reason they end up choosing as reason for the test.

So you don vex be that? Na wa for you o. May be na you go still come pick me for airport sef. If I reach out to you say make you come pick me for airport when I arrive....make you no answer.....you hear?

Bnimz:
Please, please, make we no dey tackle each other for here... cheers

Wow! I didn't have any gears on when I responded. No intention to tackle anyone.....didn't know it will be interpreted that way. Just wanted us to realise that placing emphasis on the reason for writing the exam was not necessary.
Reading and passing is the koko

@Omooloriredade


Can you clarify the above statement please?

Immediately I entered the test room and greeted the examiner, he responded but kept fiddling with his recorder. He then started off a conversation about world economics, politics and the like. The fiddling didn't stop. At intervals, he would check the recorder. He assured me he would inform me when the test starts. The conversation went on for about 5mins. He touched the recorder and said he was about to start the test.
Unknown to him, he just pushed my panic button. Liver just failed me. I wasn't myself afterwards. Na then I know say English wicked. I was incoherent for most part of the test (imo). Repeated phrases and words unnecessarily contrary to tips I got while studying. The rest is history. I left the room feeling disappointed in my performance.
