I don’t know yet but I intends to move with a family of 5 (not spouse but my siblings and I). Just want to know if it’s possible. My sister has a Bsc in banking and finance from uniben too. Is it possible to apply for the skilled independent visa with one of us being the principal applicant? Note: No work experience. We were running our mums business.

This thing you keep saying that some Nigerian degrees are not rated needs to stop. There has not been anyone here or elsewhere that has had a bad encounter with UNIBEN degrees for Australia. Stop spreading false information for your advantage. It's unfair

lol...
I’ve been involved in this migration process since 2018 and have seen enough outcomes; both positive and negative to understand how Nigerian qualifications are typically classified under the AQF system. This is not some made-up claim. What would I possibly gain by telling people to do the right thing?
For context, I have a subscription to the official database that details how qualifications from all countries are benchmarked against Australian standards. Myself and a few other OGs have actively been pushing for change, both through the Nigerian Universities Commission (NUC) and the Australian Department of Education to have these reviewed.
So, when I speak on this issue, it's not from a place of assumption. Our collective efforts on platforms like Nairaland, YouTube, Facebook, WhatsApp, and Telegram have likely helped many Nigerians avoid wasting money and instead apply for occupations that align better with their actual qualification level. If you haven’t seen many negative results, it may be because people are more likely to share their successes than their negative assessments.

If you’re still unsure, I encourage you to try assessing a level 1 occupation using a standard 4-year UNIBEN degree (without a Master’s) and share the result.

Best route will be the skilled visa route (189, 190 and/or 491).
Chances can only be determined by the occupation you want to nominate and your total points.
Which occupation do you want to nominate (read a few posts back, I posted the guide to check your occupation)
Improve your chances by having superior English test resut, take the NAATI translation exam if you speak/understand any of the two Nigerian languages currently recognised in Australia (Yoruba and Igbo), that can give you extra 5 points. Remaining single also give 10 points.

You should be able to assess as a Pharmacist then take the OPRA exams afterwards.
Sadly, you cannot get point for experience since you are not currently working as a Pharmacist.

Decided to use study visa route. Or do you think we should try the DAMA pathway instead?

Nomination will start again as soon as the planning levels are released.

@Tunlex01

Check NATI website and online resources for the info. I dont have much info on it. There isnt tutorial center because Nigerian qualifications were recently added about a few months ago

Thayoreey:

That is interesting. Anyone who pays for such is most likely unwise! Who pays to join a WhatsApp group in this age?

For over 45, only opportunity is through employer sponsored visa 482 which does not give PR due to age limit. The DAMA variant of 482 on the other hand may give you the option to get PR but you need to find an employer who has DAMA agreement.
