Hello house,

I am new in this Aussie forum and I wish to get some information before I start.
I am a Civil Engineer graduate with 6 years experience, I want to apply for Masters in any of the AL1 schools, i have checked the PR route but my points is 60, I didn't make the cutoff for 189. I graduated with 2.1 for my undergrad. and I will be writing my Pearson in a few weeks time because I have only IELTS general test at the moment which I think won't be accepted.

My questions are;
1. How much do I need in my account for the visa application?
2. Do I need Statement of account to apply to AL1 schools?
3. Can I use UKEAS for my application, as they are free? How good are they in the admission application? Any personal review from anyone that has used them before?
4. I have 14million in my account and I will be sponsoring myself, is this amount enough for the admission and visa application checks?
5. Any engineering masters program in the AL1 schools for November 2020 entry? I think I'm late for July admissions.

Please, help me out with any other information I don't have.

Thanks a lot for your assistance

With 6 years experience, you are better off applying for 190 or 491 than student visa. Also note that 189 is not the only skilled visa #myopinion

NB1912:




Mate, 190 has become as difficult as 189 in recent times especially for those applying from overseas. Most states now require applicants to either be working and residing in the state or have a job offer before you can get sponsored. The government is trying to force new migrants to regional area (491). Looking at his occupatuon civil engineering (Anzco 233211), he is only eligible for VIC for 190 and VIC hardly sponsor applicants without a job offer. So in a nutshell, you need to be living and working in Australia to have a chance.

As for 491 he might be eligible. As of now, the only states he can apply to are NSW, NT and ACT as other states require a job offer. Note that sponsorship for NSW is competitive as priority will be given to applicants already working in the state. NT hardly sponsor those living overseas unless you can show exceptional reasons how you would contribute to their economy. I my opinion, NSW will be his best bet, but as there are lots of civil engineers already working in the state and unable to secure 190 invite, they will all rush to 491 which makes it even more competitive. To stand a chance, he needs a very high point and getting 8 each in all bands in either IELTS or PTE will be the deciding factor.

Congratulations Deakin people.

tpain22:




Congratulations, what hurdles did you experience at the airport in Sydney, was there issues especially with the coronavirus issues in Australia.
also is OPV certificate the same as hello fever card?

tunlex01:


Valid points you have raised. At least, his occupations still have about 4-5 likelihood of nomination which most occupations don't even have at the moment.
VIC still sponsors 190 offshore, only its 491 that requires job offer.
NSW has two streams for 491 nomination (onshore and offshore) and the requirements are clearly spelt out.
If he has a superior English score, then he should have an edge and be able to apply to NSW, TAS, ACT and NT.
He can also go for Civil Engineering Draftsperson (CED) ---that occupation is less competitive than CE.

Viola2017:
Please can someone pay school fees using domiciliary account

NB1912:


First you mentioned Civil Engineering Draftsperson as being less competitive. Yes it used to be less competitive, but not anymore. As PR got tougher, people started assessing for both Civil Engineering and Civil Engineering Draftsperson to boost their chances, hence it made it difficult for both occupation.

Yea VIC still sponsor offshore applicant for 190 but with a Civil Engineering occupation where there are so many applicants currently working in VIC and still waiting for sponsorship, hence his chances are very slim. VIC is notorious when it comes to rejection. Most sponsorships given to offshore applicants are mainly in health occupation or uncommon fields like Biotechnology etc. For occupations like Engineering and I.T, even if you receive a pre-invite from VIC, without a job offer, the chances of rejection is very high.

Yes I know NSW has two streams that's why I recommended NSW 491 as his best option if he is able to get maximum points in English. He is also able to go for 190 as a draftsperson but will require a very high point like 85 or 90 (based on recent trends).

You mentioned other states like TAS, ACT and NT.

TAS: He needs a job offer for both 190 and 491.

ACT: Have you ever had a look at the ACT Metrix to see how many points are awarded to those living or working in the state? Why do you think people are moving to ACT from other states? Invites are awarded purely based on highest points in ACT matrix and if you are offshore your chances are very slim.

NT: This is one of the hardest state to secure sponsorship if you are not currently living or working in the state. They only sponsor offshore applicants for 491. He will need to provide good employability statement with advert of his job and evidence of responses from recruiters regarding his employability prospect in the state. Have you searched on job adds like [b]SEEK [/b]for civil engineering jobs in NT? You might get like 3 to 4 job adds in a month, so how will he prove his employability prospect in the state?

My analysis are based on reality and what's happening in recent times. It's best to conduct a proper research before proceeding with anything. Cheers!

opad:
Hi Pals,

Any chance for an 491 for any state without job offer.
Occupation is Food Technologist.
EOI lodged @80 points for 491
65 for 190

Hello house, Please which Australian University accepts 2.2 for masters? Preferably without IELTS and what are my chances of getting a study visa if given admission considering my academic gap because my degree was in 2014.

NB1912:

There are schools that give admission without English test. Regarding your study gap, what were you doing sinc 2014?

When you said car from 1000, is that in USD or AUD? That's too cheap in my opinion. In Nigeria here we buy 20004 Toyota corolla almost
4,500 USD.
