It appears NSW Subclass 491 is not open to applicants at this time?

jjohndoe83:

You’re excusing bas behaviour. Period.

You might be right anyways, but that's me for you broda! I find it EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to convict anyone on the basis of a one-sided story (i.e. not hearing the other party narrate his own side. the law calls it 'the right to fair hearing').

In instances like this, I begin to find ways of making a 'probable excuse', and a lot of "perhaps this..", "perhaps that..." etc. sweeps through my mind. For now, it remains a one sided story, and there are two sides to every coin.

How are we even sure the husby is fine where he is? Is it not possible the man is in coma somewhere in Nigeria or under kidnapper's den (God forbid), and we are all here making speculations that he has left his spouse behind, and traveled to Canada?

Hi guys,
Please I updated my Work History, but I can see the Work History showing "updated", instead of "Transmitted". Should I be worried? What can be done? . It's been so for over 48hours. The site isn't easy to use at all.

Good Evening Everyone, Please is it compulsory to prove work for SINP with a government issued document?

waiting for a response to this question, because that document either does not exist or it's extremely difficult to obtain!

In every war, there are collateral damages !

Influential101:
@bolded...Sorry but I don't understand how you knew the marriage is headed for divorce or how it would be a misrepresentation landing with her? OP never mentioned they were considering divorce neither did she say they were separated..

Don't people have issues in their marriages again? why making all these assumptions?

She doesn't have to state it explicitly! Read between the lines and draw critical inferences! If the matter is not carefully handled, a divorce potentially looms! gra gra no dey solve all these kain issues. One person must give-in for peace to reign!

GraciousWords:


No issues.

You can even change your NOC post ITA if you find that you have previously chosen an incorrect one, see FAQ 26 and 27 on page 1 (so long as you are not PNP whose nomination was directly linked to the previous NOC and your CRS is not impacted).

As you change the primary NOC, remember to update the new details in WE/Employment section if you are replacing one job with another (as opposed to changing the NOC number of the same job).

Thanks. I'm changing the NOC number of the same job.

Ayinke93:


You typed this with a straight face? Wow!

hahahaha Abeg no vex o! Just calm madam down.

EsoEso:


Rather than wickedness, it's unguarded anger, irrational act and selfish attitude. 80% of men think alike when it comes to their Ego. An average man would do anything when it comes to power tustle in marriages; same mechanism that allows an average man to put himself in danger just to protect his wife/kids or family. Although no one has heard his own side of the story but his actions negates his reasons.
I will say this for free, her husband didn't go to Canada with her travell documents. Am very positive that he left those documents in the care of a trusted ally which his wife is oblivious of. If proper steps are taken it would be like a miracle when he will just instruct someone to handover those documents to her here in naija and may even book her flight ticket. That is if she has not pressed too much control + spoil

Aha!, thankful that someone else on this forum understands the point I've been trying to make. Bro, we are on the same page!

Not trying to justify the husband's action in any way...but I'm sure he won't be wicked to the point of denying even his own unborn child such a privilege. I was also almost typing your perspective that he probably dropped the document with a close relative pending the wife's humble apology, but my post was already becoming too long.

It's a shame things are going this way sha all because of ego on both sides. We haven't heard from the man yet. I'm not good at taking sides based on a one-sided narrative. The other party MUST be granted a fair hearing, but of course he can not be invited to nairaland to share what transpired.

In all, I can't fathom how the joy of getting a PR didn't compel the husband to ignore whatever grouse he (or both of them) have been holding on to. The news of a COPR is too sweet not to smile and let go, and both couple dance to Canada.

This story no just sweet me at all. Too bad!

Madam should bring in family members first. Don't start with police or IRCC legal threats. We are Africans first. Let's try resolve issues the traditional way first.

Dimple10:


yes you are

Thanks.

For occupations requiring a license in SINP, does the applicant need to have obtained the license to be eligible for nomination? Or would the applicant be required to present the license at any point before PR is issued? E.g Pharmacy, Medlab, Occupational Therapy, Public Health Inspectors, Dentists, etc etc

tunlex01:


Did you call or email migrate@vetassess.com.au?

That's the only official email address they have. I am just reading about UK office for the first time from you.

Its more than two weeks since you dropped this email address, and I emailed them. However, they have yet to reply up till this moment. Na wah for these guys o!

Debbieeeeeee:
Mi o ni so nkankan. grasiouso sorry about your situation. Things are really happening.

Seriously, the matter dey somehow sha. I hope they find a way to resolve it amicably.

Rhuth:


What’s this?
Are you sure you’re not the husband in question

You funny!

Dimple10:
pele o....there is absolutely no excuse for absconding with her international passport. NONE at all whatsoever

stop excusing "gutter" behaviour.

@bolded is already what he is doing because if/when baby comes, they'll have to start process of sponsoring baby (is this even a thing? eyes rolling) at this point as wife already has PR considering he has already landed.

Pele tie o!

I have not in any way exonerated the husband's retaliation. If anything, the joy that comes with a PR is enough to even make both of them dance away whatever grudge has been held.

grasiouso:


Yea, he’s with my international passport.

Pls do you mind providing more information on how to report to Canadian High Commission and what Nigerian authority? I called their consulate office in Lagos and they said they don’t handle immigration matters I should contact IRCC.

If he is denied his PR or citizenship as a result of your reporting him. You would have just succeeded in making an already bad situation worse! I will advise you tread with caution. Hold on a little. I believe he wants to see you handle this with maturity. You might consider calling family members first before taking such a harsh line of action.

From your narrative, I think it's not really about these petty issues you mentioned, rather it's more about the words you trade and bandy with him in your moments of anger and quarrel. When he starts nagging about you not being submissive, simply apologize or if you feel you don't owe him an apology, just remain mute. Words said in moments of anger (especially by most women) can be extremely hurtful, and some men don't forget them easily. You strike me like someone who would retort at every word said! some women believe they must have the last say.

e.g.
Man: you have disobeyed me, this wasn't our initial plan
Woman: In what way have I disobeyed you, oga sabinus, you always play Mr. Know it all. Am I your slave?
Man: You are not submissive
Woman: *laughs and claps loudly* Oh! so, you married me to worship you, you have failed o, if that's what you thought. It's 50/50, nobody is oga in this house
Man: Okay, I will show you that I'm the oga in the house. There can't be two captains in a ship
Woman: Shame on you! go and do your worst!

The man leaves with resentment that his wife has dared him, and thinks of every possible way to prove he is a man. He seeks every means to implement his worst action and teach the wife a lesson without lifting his hands, lest he is described as a violent man or even accused of physical assault. An apology or keeping quiet could have nipped the whole matter in the bud. Since the lady doesn't apologize, he must hatch a plan to prove a point and make you come back on bended knees.

So, madam, this is just an illustration o! I'm not saying that this was what transpired, but that in most cases it's the words that have been traded in moments of anger that precipitate vendetta. I don't think your husband will be so wicked as to deny you (and the unborn kid) access to such an opportunity. He just wants to seize the passport for a while to see whether you'll be humble enough to apologize. I doubt if you have apologized! you're prolly still holding stubbornly to your own threats as well. You guys are in that power-tussle stage most newlyweds go through to establish supremacy - this usually occurs when the couple both have ego issues. Your story reads too one-sided to believe he's that cruel. To be honest, holding tenaciously to an unapologetic stance and claiming you've done nothing wrong doesn't help sometimes.

I'm shocked that some people here are suggesting you report to IRCC to deport him and you have already started taking the suggestion as the best line of action, without firstly exploring peaceful resolution - this is the more reason I mentioned earlier that you are also probably contributing to the problem through your obstinate stance to matters. Seek peaceful resolution first, extend the olive branch, then give some time for him to reflect on your peaceful approach, if he remains unyielding, then you can take the radical approach. One comes before the other!

For a family of 5, I’d say increase that budget. $2500 was my budget as a single person when I came in some years ago.

Bros, if you know wetin exchange rate dey talk now! SMH.
Anyways, will try to raise it sha, but worse case scenario, we manage o!

tunlex01:


These are tough questions to answer because the country has a huge land mass.
To narrow it down, which city are you planning to stay?

Please note my response below is not absolute and vary per location. Also, it’s best to over budget than to under-budget.

1. You should look towards a 3 bedroom apartment. Hardly will you find landlord willing to give you a 2-bed for 5 people.
Modest 2 bed - $350 - $600 per week.
Modest 3 bed - $450 -$700 per week

2. Getting a job has a lot of factors that are attached to it. Your cv, prior experience, your communication skills etc.
To get menial jobs, I would say from 3 weeks upwards because you will need documentations like police report, proof of age since you won’t have a drivers license at that time and a few other documents.
Care job will take at least 2 months cos you need to attend classes, placement, and then the certification
3. If your kids are less than 6, that means they will not likely be starting school yet. Your spouse can stay at home with them cos childcare cost is not beans.
Cost of living - I’ll try to give a range for a family of 5
Food - >$600
Electricity - $500-600 per quarter (since you are new and may need to use more heaters to adjust your body temperature)
Gas - <$300 per quarter
Transport - get a car asap (budget from $4500 upwards to get a good car that will serve you and the family. Registration, insurance and license costs are additional expenses you should also budget for.
Telephone - prepaid - $20, postpaid - <$50 monthly per person
Internet - $60-90 monthly depending on the speed you want.
Health insurance - $350-$500 if you are on a skilled visa or PR
Water - $100 per quarter (some landlords add this to the rent price)

You can always go with the cheaper options and upgrade later on.

Thanks a lot Tunlex01.

Your estimate helps a great deal. I guess one can get by and manage very conservatively with $3500. Not bad at all. Gracias!

I haven't received ITA yet. I've just entered the pool, but I realized another NOC matches my job better. Am I allowed to edit my NOC?

tunlex01:

Yes, why?

Oga Tunlex01,

Please, permit me to bug you with these few questions. It will go a long way in helping me make some personal decisions on my side, and weigh my options:

1. How much does an average 2 bedroom flat cost (averagely, across Australia). I know there might be variations with cities and high brow areas, but just give a conservative estimate for an average Nigerian who has just relocated to any of the cities, and want to start moderately. I'm not coming for luxury. Just a moderate (not bad) accommodation to manage for a family of 5

2. How long (on the average) will it take to find something (a job) doing, at least to make ends meet. it doesn't have to be a professional job. E.g. One could start with a care job (or any menial job) to manage while writing qualifying exams to practice (I'm in the medical field)

3. What will be the average cost of living (food and minor expenditure e.g. electricity bills, transport, telephone, internet, gas) for a family of 5. I'm not an extravagant person o , and my children are all less than 6yrs. so, you can imagine they'll probably wouldn't be such voracious consumers . Abeg, make we know how to calculate expenses at least for the first 6 months before one gets stable with a meaningful job. Already flight cost I checked is hitting the roof.

I think you missed out the health surcharge in your total calculation of required funds. With the health surcharge the needed funds should be more than N18mil outside London.

How can one beat the health surcharge cost down? Can one go first and say, after 6months apply for family to join? Perhaps this can reduce the required healthsurge cost by half, since its a 1 yr cost initially?

Again, when applying for PSW, would you be required to pay another healthsurcharge for yourself nd family?

tunlex01:

Yes, why?

Great! Happy for you bro!

Any advice on payment for Vetassess?

@ Tunlex, are you in Aussie already?

generalstingz:


@ 27,000 per cell. You need 4 units to make 12V and other a accessories liKe BMS

I need 4 of this urgently! Can you dm your number asap?

tunlex01:


Did you call or email migrate@vetassess.com.au?

That's the only official email address they have. I am just reading about UK office for the first time from you.

Haaaaa! Don't give me the impression I've been on a cloned website . Na so I for just pay money throway ?

I saw the post, and made a comment warning the OP about the risks he was exposing himself to, as well as the current precarious situation of the country .

Immediately after I made my comment on that post, my instincts told me Justwise will either sensor my post or pull down the entire thread. He didn't dissapoint!

Well, in my opinion, I think while the OP has the right to seek opinion on investing in Nigeria, the moderators also have the responsibility of protecting forum members in anyway they possible can - which include sensoring any sensitive detial(s) inadvertently posted by any forum member.

I think both parties are correct on this matter. Perhaps a subtle mail to the op (from justwise) or a Caveat that, the Forum will not be held liable for any fraud suffered by any forum member arising from the disclosures of personal details which should have been otherwise held or treated as confidential, or any transactions initiated or conducted outside this forum.

The OP, indeed exposed himself to risk. What if he made contats with some individuals who were already wooing his patronage by dropping phone numbers claiming to be estate agents, investment managers etc..and later got defrauded? The OP is most likely to cry blue murder and malign nairaland as a den of fraudsters.

So, Op abeg no vex! Na the situation of we country cause am o! ...and please do not attempt contacting anyone you have not verified the authenticity of their claims. Justwise should also try to apply some little diplomacy in dealing with forum members.

My 2 cents#

tunlex01:


UK office for Vetassess?
You haven’t got a response from Vetassess for a month? That’s strange

Na so we see am o !

I wanted to know if I could send an old copy of undergraduate degree transcript (or notarized student copy) since ASUU & NASU has been on strike. I had all my postgraduate degrees outside Nigera and can easily apply online for those ones to be sent to VETASSES. My job started after my PhD and I dont think the undergraduate degree transcript should have much of an impact on the assessment, particularly as it was not the basis for my current employment and also unrelated to my current roles. But these guys didnt budge on giving a reply. It's shocking to say the least!

Anosky:
Hi everyone pls is the new occupation list out ? And how long does it take normally for vetasses reassessment as mine is taking about 20 weeks now

I don't understand those guys. I sent them an ordinary email just to enquire about additional documents, but they have failed to reply. It's been almost a month now! I even copied the UK Office too, yet none answered.

Nozino:



Ok sir. I didn’t know. But when I was looking for funding for my Ph.D., many professors had vacancies for post docs.

Of course, many of them have it advertised. The problem is that only one spot is usually available for each advert, and often home candidates are their first choice to avoid the hurdles of getting visas for international students. I had applied to over 55 postdocs before I got one in the US. I'm back in Nigeria, but seeing the country's situation now, I am just weak for words! It's sad, regrettably sad!
