You can get a very good 3bedroom house with 600k-800k in the western suburbs of Melbourne, though about 45 to 50mins drive from the CBD. Suburbs like Tarneit, Truganina, Werribee, Wnydham Vale and some part of Point Cook. The only down side is apart from Point Cook and Werribee, others are dominated by migrants from India and Middle East thus houses there are bit cheaper compare to Northern and Eastern suburbs.

@bligs,

Thank is not bad at all.

Thank you very much. I would give it very strong consideration.

It's now $200. You can get a $US domiciliary account and pay using your dollar card.

Alternatively, you can people in Aussie or other countries to pay for you

Hello Guys,

Please i need help raising funds to book my flight to Perth.

Can anyone help, or is there an institution that will be open to give me a loan to enable me book my flight

Qatar airways costs about $3k -$4k USD. I need to fly in January.


Please help.

I would advise you approach your friends and family members individually for help.

Also, try selling anything of value that you have (Car, jewelries etc)

Have a discussion with your account officer.

Try raising the money in bits as it may be challenging for anyone to give you 3k USD without prior notice.

Yea, this is goodnews. But my EA assessment expired last November. Please how do I go about getting a new letter before February when my IELTS will 3yrs so that I can try my luck in any NSW region?

Please help!!!

I applied for eor on 6th of Dec with BC. I am yet to receive any update about it and my former result has stopped showing on my portal. What am I supposed to do please?

I'm sure this is possible and you should do it as quickly as you can, but I don't know how to do it, unfortunately.
Perhaps search online or on these Australian Migration Facebook groups.

From EA's point of view, the assessment does not have an expiry date. However, DOHA have set a validity of 3years. You will have to contact EA to revalidate your assessment. I believe there is no need for a reassessment.

My fear is that application window for NSW regions opens and closes in January. The next one will be in March when my IELTS will be expiring.

NSW will definitely be my destination as Victoria criteria is getting out of the roof, even though that's my preferred State. Any way, we are happy for the news. Let me start preparing for my PTE. My invite will come like a film trick. We shall get there.

Which occupation are you filing for?

NB1912:

That experience aspect, how are we that don't have 3yrs experience going to navigate that? Any suggestion?

You should start preparing to take the test again as the possibility of using the same result to apply for visa is slim. The application window opens for few weeks, thereafter you get a pre-invite and 14 to apply for nomination then NSW reviews your application before giving you ITA. This process may take up to 2 months or less and your IELTS result may no longer be valid as at that time.
So make hay while the sun shines.

Wait till the requirement is removed or look out for other states.

But I don't think there is any State that doesn't include experience as part of their requirements. If there any, you can point it out.

Any way, this is where grace will come to play. I might end up getting 189 even with low score of 70.

If my IELTS is valid when applying for ITA and expires before getting ITA, do I need a new IELTS?. Must my IELTS be valid during visa application if I already have ITA?

It depends on the occupation. If you have good points with less experience points, some states like SA may consider.
At the moment, it's a stiff competition but I am hopeful the requirements will become lesser in the new year.
If the Federal goverment can increase the skilled migration quota for the year, that may reduce the shortage currently being experienced.

Yes.
yes

You English test must be valid at the time you submit your visa application. There was a recent change during the pandemic for 887 that requested that English test must be valid as at the time the CO picks one's application but it was removed.
So validity should be at the time your paid visa application fee.

You are right. We just hope there will be some positive changes coming along the way.

Thanks for the Information. I have an academic ielts that will expire October though It's competent, so I won't claim any point.

Hello everyone, please I need advise. I'm considering moving to Australia for study. If one studies in Victoria or Perth, which city would be easier for them to get PR?

Kindly help me. It's been 22 days post confirmation of my eor by IELTS BC . I have emailed Nigeria branch severally and got no reasonable response. Please what can I do to speed up the result. Thanks

I would suggest you put in for a new one and get a better score. Having less points in this era where there has been slow movement leading to many people waiting in line, you don’t want to miss out by having competent English or a lower point.

Perth is better as WA’a nomination is basically for their graduates only
