Firstly, check the requirements of the AITSL...that is the assessment body for teachers.

For those who can't wait for IOM or just as a second option, try this route:

Lagos - SouthAfrica Via Ethiopian Airline with minimal stopover in Addis Ababa.

SA- Melbourne with minimal stopover at Singapore. There are other destinations in Oz.

Quite cool.

Just got mine all booked. Cheaper than the Asian route.

Pinoralia:

For the transit in Joborg, don't they require a transit Visa?

databasecareers:


Please, what airline did you use for your trip from South Africa to Melbourne

jislord94:


Thanks for your response,well my plan is to apply using my qualification /Status i.e i have more than 8 years working experience in computer engr plus other qualification of mine.

I just wanted to know if with my status and my wife status if we good to go for the 189 Skilled visa.

Thank you for your positive response.

bossladymo1:


Your wife has a better chance of being the main applicant. ICT occupations require a minimum of a BSc in an IT area....of which some Nigerian Bachelor's have been found not up to par.

Hello house!

-when applying for my transcript, do i need to apply for two copies? As in one for VETASSESS and another for visa application?

NOPE. ONE IS FINE. YOU CAN GET VETASSESS TO SCAN AND EMAIL YOUR TRANSCRIPT WHEN YOU NEED IT. OR YOU CAN JUST GET YOUR SCHOOL TO SEND ANOTHER COPY TO YOU.

-since i do not Have upto 3 year of work experience and i'm not claiming point for work experience, do i need to submit employment letter, tax cert, payslips etc?

NOPE. BUT YOU HAVE TO SUBMIT PAYSLIPS ETC TO VETASSESS.

-do i need to sit for ielts before applying for assessment From vetassess?

NOPE. BUT IT IS ADVISABLE, AS IT LETS YOU LODGE IMMEDIATELY YOU GET YOUR ASSESSMENT.

Haha.

Many ppl have complained Naija ICT degrees are being equated to Associate Degrees by ACS.

sanmibukunmi:

Yea the occupation is mixed crop and livestock farmer....the code is 121411....I fink there are other jobs I can apply for but I just chose this one....
So what's a state nomination ?

NNBB2012:


I know of at least 2 people that got assessed by ACS with Nigerian qualification and they didn't have issue. Anyone that did 5years degree course shouldn't have issue. But with a Nigerian 4years degree, it would be equated to Associate Degree.

NNBB2012:

You will need transcripts for both assessment and immigration. Vet assess requires that transcript should be sent directly from school, and immigration needs certified copy only. If your school could give you a copy before sending it to Vetassess that would be great.

You need to submit evidence of 1yr experience to Vetassess for assessment.
You need envidence of English before assessment. Check if Vetasses requires other test of English.

bossladymo1:


Is there any 5yr ICT course in Nigeria?

bellong:


Many... ICT course in Ife and all university of technology is 5years .

bossladymo1:


Ehn ehn! Wow! I feel like you just told me Santa is real lol.

By ICT, I mean courses like computer science o...abi another type dey?

NNBB2012:

Good on you then. You need to check the assessing authority to know their requirements.
State nominated visa enables you to stay in that state for 2yrs before you can move to other places. You need to meet the conditions of the state before you can be nominated. A quick check suggested that you could be nominated by SA,Qld, and WA. Check their individual requirements and see the one that you can meet.
More importantly, assessment has to be done and points calculated to see if you could get at least 55points on your own. Google how points are calculated. Basically, points are allocated to Age,qualification,experience,English test,nomination etc.

Hello All,

Is d yellow fever vaccine essential, who actually asks for it?

Or its just a Nigerian self created requirement, as DIBP is just all about Polio.

bossladymo1:


Luckily, VETASSESS does not need an English test before assessment.

bellong:


You will be asked at the port of entry.

NNBB2012:


Whao! That's good to know. I have not taken anybody through them before. I think they will probably be the only assessing authority that doesn't require English.

Hello Fam, I really appreciate the loads of information we share here. It has tremendously helped me understand a lot of things and guided my decision making process.

Before i finally make an application, please i need to know the living standards (weather, costs, job opportunities, accommodation) of Perth. Is Perth a good place for students. I saw a lot of positive reviews about Perth online but I want my fellow Nigerians to share their candid thoughts or experiences. Thanks.
