Please guys, what about Physiologist?

Good evening guys, please I need advice.

I am 36, and my wife is 30.
I have a Diploma and BSc in Comp Sci Education.
My teaching experience totals about 1yr and 6 months(NYSC & teaching practice).
I'm currently working as a technician for an oil and gas company (6+yrs of experience).
My wife studied MCB, and works in a bank(4+yrs experince)

What route would you advise for us to take?

Wow, you a have strong application in my view (just my personal opinion)

Teachers are in high demand.
And you are a field technician (also highly in demand in the mines and plants).
Best to research which of you would be the main applicant based on how easy to get all necessary documentations.

My humble opinion.

GeneralMu:
Hi everyone, please hear me out.

What are my chances for an Australian PR? I am 28 and single, I have a B.Eng in Materials and Metallurgical Engineering and about 6 yrs experience as a Software Engineer, currently a senior software engineer in a company here in Nigeria.

The Anzsco code for my occupation is 261313: Software Engineer. I'll appreciate your candid opinion/advice. Thanks.

Software engineers are not getting visas like before; it is getting too difficult to get invite as a software engineer.
Can't you try to use your materials engineering background instead for the application?

My humble 2 cents

Hi Seniors,

I am about to begin my AUS immigration journey and would humbly need some steer from anyone who can help.

I am 35, Married with 1 Child.
B.Sc [ED] in Technical Education, Elect/Elect Tech Major
TRCN Certificate
11 Year work experience in Administration and Operations
Masters in Business Administration [MBA]
About to write CELPIP

How can i get started?
What would be the easier or less-stressful route to take?

Thank you.

Less stressless route is via the 189 visa which grants you full working and residential rights in Australia.

Why not try NIV subclass visa...

Hello everyone,

I am about to begin my PR journey and would sincerely appreciate guidance from experienced members here.

I am 37 years old, single

B.Sc in Building Construction
Close to 5 years of total experience in the construction field
Over 1-year active internship
About 2 years of solid post-graduation experience (excluding NYSC)
NYSC at Lagos State Ministry of Works,
Registered my own construction company during NYSC (one-man business, handled projects independently)
Master’s degree in Environmental Engineering (completed in Poland). Currently partnering with a startup in the UK on waste management sustainability. (Freelance)
I currently work as a data centre technician here in Poland.
IELTS 7 (overall)

My concerns:
• I am currently living in Poland, my current job does not count as I don't have a degree in computer science
• My NYSC experience was at the Lagos state Ministry of Works — not sure if this counts for skill assessment.
• My self-employed experience has no payslips or tax documents. And I am outside Nigeria, not sure I can work that out
• My master’s in Environmental Engineering, not sure if my freelancing with this startup company in the uk counts

Try NIV. You will get it with these background of yours. You will however need to supplement it one or more documents to make it stronger...

Hi Everyone,

I am about to begin my Australian PR journey through the 491 pathway and i need some counsel on how to proceed.

I am 38 years
I have a BSc in Industrial relations & Personnel Mgt plus a MSc in Management science (both from Unilag)
I also have 9+ experience in HR
I have registered for CELPIP and current gathering my document for assessment for HUMAN RESOURCE ADVISER through Vetassess.
Furthermore i have a wife and 2 children.

My question is: what are the prospects for HR skillset in Australia and likelihood of being nominated from offshore?.

Hello guys, this thread has been of great assistance, recently got my 189 grant
Please what is the best time of the year to come to Australia as a migrant. Also is it possible to get an apartment before landing

What occupation did you get 189 if you don’t mind sharing ?

@tunlex01 and everyone.

I am 30, married.
BSc (Ed) Computer Science Education with 5 years of experience FOR Secondary school teacher 190

I want to start my aitsl for my degree. Still, I researched things about tier 1 universities and from information gathered online that only a tier 1 degree university is accepted as AQF 7 standard BUT in my own case my degree is a *5 years course* is it eligible?

Just need clarification before I start the process.

Hi House! Please I need guidance and advice from experience members of the house

I hold a Diploma in Welding with 3 years of work experience as a welder. I recently applied for a skills assessment with Trades Recognition Australia (TRA), but unfortunately, I received a negative assessment. Reason for the Negative Outcome TRA stated that they were unable to verify: My employment, and My educational qualification due to lack of response from my employer. However, during my application, I clearly provided My employer’s official email address and My institution’s official email address. Instead of using the contact details I provided, TRA appears to have independently sourced email from the employer’s and institution’s websites (this is my thinking because they didn't disclose to me the email they've contacted). These emails are currently inactive with no specific person responsible to them, which likely explains why they received no response. Based on this, they issued a negative assessment to me.

TRA refused to consider my complain and instead they asked me to apply for a review and pay an additional fee or apply fresh application which both will cost me same amount of money. My concern is that I may receive the same outcome if they continue using email addresses other than those officially provided in my documents.

Alternative Option I Am Considering:

I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering with 5 years of professional engineering experience. Because of this, I am considering switching my assessment pathway to Engineers Australia instead.

Key Questions I Need Advice On:

1️⃣ Should I proceed with TRA (review or fresh application)? This is because TRA occupations generally receive quicker invitations.The points requirement is often lower compared to Professional paths. However, I am worried about another negative outcome if they continue using inactive website emails instead of the official contact details provided in my application.

2️⃣ Should I abandon TRA and apply through Engineers Australia instead?Does Engineers Australia rely strictly on the official employer contact details submitted in the application? Or do they also source contact details independently like TRA?

tunlex01:
Overall points does not count for skilled visa 189, 190 and 491 EOI. it's based on individual scores.

If you have L9 S9 R9 and W6.5, it's 0 point in EOI even though your overall will 8.5

Good morning, I tried looking for your YouTube page
"Australia Pathfinder" but I couldn't find it. I also tried checking you on Twitter but the name didnt come up. How can I get in touch with you.

The Anzsco code for my occupation is 261313: Software Engineer. I'll appreciate your candid opinion/advice. Thanks.

If you have payment evidence and evidence of project, you will have to go through RPL with ACS because you dont have a Computer science degree. you can read all the details here
https://www.acs.org.au/msa/assessment-pathway/rpl.html
your 6 years experience will be deducted to make up for not having a computer science degree.
Also note that most computer related occupations are not getting nominated based on the current financial year.

Ogonsbaba:
I read Agricultural Extension in Bachelors and Agri-Food Technology in my Masters in the UK but have no work experience in any Agricultural related field as I ended up doing Care job. I saw Agricultural Technician, Agricultural Scientist, and Food Technologist and Agricultural Consultant in the occupation list. Please, can I apply for PR with Agricultural Scientist with my academic qualifications and get the visa as I have no work experience in agric field? Or should I apply with 4 years experience in healthcare and have NVQ Level 3 too?

you cannot apply for any agric related occupations without at least 1 year experience even if it's a farmer position.

I read Accountancy from Madonna University. I'm just seeing this thread now. I want to migrate to Australia. What and what is needed and how do I go about it ?

Madonna university is a tier 2 uni and as a result, your degree is considered an Associate degree (not bachelors) You may need ICAN or ACCA or masters to be able to assess as an Accountant in Australia

aremso:
Apply for 4yrs experience better than having zero points in experience. My wife has Bsc economics 2009 and has Passion for music so she went to MUSON to do grade 5 exams and passed and has been teaching since 2013 to 2024 but they wanted to assess her in part 3 and 4 experience in non relevant field and experience in post music certificate experience

health care and agric are not related.

Physiologist is different from Physiotherapist. The former is not in demand.

And you are a field technician (also highly in demand in the mines and plants).

the person's qualification does not meet the requirement of AITSL

Why not try NIV subclass visa...

How does the profile qualify for NIV?

Try NIV but you need to dress your profile ...

When did you stop working in Construction?
Do you still have your self-employment documents and evidnece of all the projects you carried out?

1. current job will not count.
2. Yes it may count if the job descriptions align with nominated occupation and you have documents to prove the year.
3. you can pay all your outstanding tax. For self employed, you dont need payslips. these are some of the documents you need:

Business (CAC) registration certificate
Bank statement showing business transactions
Company Income tax statement
Personal Income tax statement
Copies of invoice issued to customers
Copies of invoice received from suppliers
Organisational chart
Company Financial report

4. Depends on your job role with the startup and the job descriptions. If they don't match the nominated occupation then it won't count but if otherwise, it will count

Fitter - not possible (requires a Mechanical engineering qualification)
Electrical Engineering technician - pls review the job descriptions very well to be sure it matches what you do to avoid a negative outcome. if they match, then you are good to go as long as you have Payslips, bank statement and pension for the last 3 years and you are still working.

Fitter is better but you don't qualify. 312312 is the next best thing
