tyosho:
P.s- he included his positive WES assesment this second time around.

mctowel01:
I m also an advocate for leaving for post graduate studies if one feels the PR application will be easier from there. The advantages you stated there are also true but just to correct something, One can get assessed with a professional engineering status irrespective of the undergraduate location. I was assessed as electronics engineer with no work experience and bsc from Nigeria so it is very possible. Nonetheless, I think your knowledge of the PR scheme is still a bit sketchy as there are some statements you made which can be misguiding.

egbabiekperemo1:
There are no jobs in Wollongong

Solitin40:
But i thought aged care is not available again for international students or it's a lie?

SegunWamiri:
Greetings to you sir bellong. Do you have any suggestions for me based on this?

abdullahi45:
Good morning gurus....
I am very new here, I would like to further for my Msc in Australia in any of their good universities. my questions are :
1. I have been reading about points above like 65points and i have been seeing something like some Nigerian don't even have 20 points in Toefl. Could someone please help me understand what all this point are all about
2. I have an uncle that doesn't share my surname, can he be my sponsor. If NO. What's the best thing to do?

Thanks in anticipation!

bellong:
The issue is how to proof you earned an income.

abdullahi45:
Someone should please reply me

SegunWamiri:
Hmmmm! Only that? Really what I had thought my problem is not being able to nominate any occupation on the SOL/CSOL based on my area of study (sociology)

nurseafrica:
Actually that information is conflicting. It depends on your training institute.
Some expecially locally owned stereotypical institutions will refuse but those run by philipinos or indians will still train you.
If your in sydney area.
Pm me and i can offer advice on realistic institutions wt job offers after placement

You need not bother yourself with No. 1 at least for now except you are interested in migrating. Meanwhile, there is another thread where you can read up on that: https://www.nairaland.com/3053069/general-guide-australian-permanent-resident

Yes, your Uncle can be your sponsor but you would need proof that you are related. E.g. His birth certificate and your mother's assuming he is from your mum's family. Other documents could be mum's marriage certificate or sworn affidavit for change of name.

He is a very far uncle in fact, our name is not related at all either from the maternal and paternal side...... What can i do?

WestAfrican:
The advise given to you was based on the previous information you provided on this thread. While your condition does not qualify you as a PR candidate that was why I further informed you to get here on a student visa and carry on from there.

You have been advised again to look into Engineering technologiest (ET) as an option but unfortunately Petroleum engineering does not fall into (EAT) specialization.

You may want to contact a professional mara immigration agent to best advise you as you don't want to waste your time, energy and resources; and at the end your visa is refused.

Follow this link to read a bit more on engineering technologist to see if you qualify for sol or csol and do further research.

Coming in Australia as a student is always not the best but if it's the only option you have means you have to grab it. Laws in Australia changes by the day

If you are good at what you do and have a portfolio you can be sure of getting a job and a sponsor that is another route for PR

WestAfrican:
My bro I have always advocated for PR rather than study. But in a situation where one finds it difficult scoring 60 points and above and wants to leave the country as things are getting worse then it's better to opt for a study visa then carry on from there.

Masters gives you equal point as undergraduate degree. The advantage of applying while in the country is:
~You can appeal the decision
~ You are still on your student visa and will remain in the country
~ You can continue your studies and earn a master's degree
~You get a 2 year graduate study visa after you graduate
~You can lodge another PR
~You can get married (if still single) and get your PR through that avenue

There are heaps of PhD students in Australia who are still finding it difficult to get their PR all because they couldn't score 20 points in ielts TOEFL.

If your Bsc certificate is not from Australia you will most likely be asked by your case officer to apply via Engineering technologiest and believe there are thousands of applicants and only 20-30% make it before the window closes and these ones have wealth of working experiences under their belts.

There is no problem giving it a crack thou but then like I previously said, I would only do it in those conditions I had listed above.

Everyone will tackle the situation from a different perspective but left for me I will tackle the way I have mentioned (na person wey wear shoe know wer e dey pain am)

bellong:
Not only that, if you have a defined job, it would be easy to nominate an occupation or closely related one.

She has been working as a Customer Service Representative those five years with one of the Telecommunications firms in Nigeria until she got promoted recently to be one of the Quality Assurance officers.

bellong:
South Australia currently sponsors Customer service manager for 489 visa and it is low availability already. It has been for the past 6 months though.

oobidike:
It depends on where you are heading to. Here in goldcoast and most institutions dont offer certificate courses in age care to international students. Moreover u can get some money from any job u do and with God on ur side. Construction pays as well if u hv white card. Hospitality pays too . Everything depends on ur hardwork and the grace of God.
