Hello @teewhysafe, please, I need help in assessing my realistic chances for skilled immigration to Australia with the following points and profile.

Age: (25 points)
Education: (20 points)(ANZSCO
Code) - 133111 - Construction Project Manager
IELTS: L8.0, S7.5, W7.5, R7.5 (10 points??)/I could put in for PTE to get 20 points if necessary.
Work: 3yrs+ (5 Points)

My main question is that I have a 5yr degree, MSc both in Estate Management, and a PhD in Construction and Project Mgt all earned in Nigeria Universities.

With these qualifications what are my chances for a positive assessment with Vettasses for Construction Project Manager, with a 3yr+ work experience as a Construction Manager with almost identical job description with (ANZSCO Code) - 133111 - Construction Project Manager? I have already wasted funds with the Canada express entry, despite having a good score, their manipulation of the system with irrational 3 week draws and tie break rule this year - cost me 6 points due to my increase in age without getting an ITA.

I would not want to commit resources and embark on the Vettasses and then get a negative assessment or even have a compulsory 1 year deducted from my 3 year experience and then loose the little 5pts I already have, which I think is just unusual.

Please, with 70/65 points what are my chances of getting a direct ITA (subclass 190) for construction project manager?

If you think I stand a chance of getting a positive assessment with vetasess, can you help or recommend someone you know to guide me in packaging my job description?

Also, how can I avoid having 1 year deducted from years of experience?

Finally, if all of the above fails, please from your experience which subclass 189 do you recommend that is straightforward and fast, and can accommodate my profile with the following points: 55 points or 65 points (assuming I lost 1 year from vetassess assessment).

Thank you for your help in advance.

Okay. How did you arrive at 15 point for Experience. Hope you have also deducted the compulsory 1 year VETASESS removes from total years of experience (that's even assuming they really like you ).
Yeah a positive assessment from VETASESS is key to the whole process. Try packaging your application with a well detailed job description of an Agricultural consultant. Tips can be gotten from the Anszco code description.
Also attach as much evidence as possible from your employers.

In this case, you are submitting for 2 employers right? Employment letter, Confirmation, Reference letter etc. should be on company letter head please. As Bellong advised, submitting the company's registration & other evidence that it truly exist helps to ascertain the believability of the company since there is no website and also ensure your referees are well prepared to vouch for you in-case of verification.

Do you at least have a payslip/pension document you can submit or even a bank statement that shows inflow from these companies? It helps if some of the documents provided are externally generated e.g. bank statement, pension/tax documents.

If not, still try generating payslips and getting the right stamps/signatures for it.

Hope this helps.

An excerpt from one of your posts ... " my visa was revoked cos I used B1/B2 visa for child birth and made use of some insurance during child birth" .

Two issues I've identified. (1) Use of B1/B2 visa for childbirth (2) insurance debt

For No. 1, well, it might not be much of an issue ( could be an emergency delivery for all i care smiley) if No.2 is dealt with.

It is contradictory to be indebted and claim you have the required POF. It would be better to pay up your debt because POF is such a crucial requirement in this process . CIC also requires that you state any outstanding debt.

Where you explicitly state what you owe US gov't in insurance in your application without redeeming such, it counters your POF and when slashed against POF (assuming reviewing officer is lenient enough to do so) , you're short of POF requirement. On the other hand, being coy about the debt, may land you into misrepresentation because they'd definitely know.

To be honest, take your time and pay the debt no matter how painstaking it might be . Failure of which, might raise the issue of insolvency (and credibility, if I may add) of PA.

Cheers!

@Maxxyfruit, please I know you are very busy now, but please I need your help with the above quoted information from @blessings2017: How will Canada immigration know that you owe US insurance? Except this is declared in your application, I find it hard to see how Canada can know such a private information. For the exception that you used a US bank statement that highlights this debt, or they enquire specifically from relevant authorities if you owe insurance debt in relation to you declaring the US revoked visa issue (this is subject to the condition that you gave US insurance debt as one of the reasons for visa revocation, otherwise I see no justification for such enquiries).

Please, examine my take on this issue, and let me know what you think, and the way out of this if you've found any? Also, you can reconnect with @blessings2017 and let's brainstorm all these scenarios. Thank you for your time, and best wishes.

@planofGod,

Is your 3yrs post PhD qualification? If yes, you should be able to get positive assessment. You only need to package your job descriptions in line with Anzsco descriptions.

You should rewrite English test for a 20 point score.

Any experience in estate management?

@bellong

Thank you for the reply. Yes, my 3yrs experience is post PhD qualification.

I'm sceptical because I don't want to commit resources to vetassess and get a negative assessment, or my 3yrs experience gets deducted as @Prolivingproof suggests:

"At least one year will still be deducted from your work experience period by Vetassess. so getting 5 points from work experience may not possibly be feasible presently".

Yes, I do have estate management experience, however it is pre PhD, and more than 10yrs ago - please, why do you ask?

In regards to resitting the IELTS exam, my fund's quite limited. To this effect, do you think I stand a chance for the subclass 190 with my current projected score of 60 points, and what are the downsides compared to the subclass 189?
