Hello,

A lot of US Unis recruit post docs especially in Engineering. You can try googling laps accepting post docs within your niche area and going to their website.

Or try the EE route.

I'm also in the academia, and from experience, postdocs are extremely competitive. Postdoc offers don't come easy anymore.

OP, should simply focus on Express Entry. That's what I'm currently trying to explore, but already a lot of point has been lost to age. Learning French is a Herculean task! No pathway easy o!

I hope that MOD IELTS (General Test) is acceptable for this route?

Hi everyone. If you’re in need of an ielts tutor specifically for writing and listening, reach out. I know someone and she’s good.
All the best to all of us.

Pls pm her contact. It's urgent.Thanks in advance

I'm trying to pay for VETASSESS. Please does anyone here render any form of assistance with payment at a friendly rate? or is there any way I can pay from my Bank account here in Nigeria?

No, it means you cannot get married until after landing.

In the new point system introduced in November 2019, single applicants gets an automatic 10 points added to their points while married people need to have partner that will make them get the 10 points through assessment and English test.
So what DHA is saying is if you claim you are single, when you get ITA, you cannot get married to add a spouse until after you have landed in Australia.

Perfect, fair enough!

Please, one last question.
I have done my IELTS, and currently packaging my application for VETASSESS. My concern is this:

Is it compulsory that you MUST claim points from your spouse? What if my spouse's IELTS is LWRS - 5.5,6,6,7?

My point is currently 75 without Spouse points. Can I be selected without including my spouse english Language test result? My spouse currently struggles with getting 5 in listening. If she writes and doesn't get 6,6,6,6, I think I might be too impatient to wait for a re-write. I intend to continue to EOI without bothering to gain spouse points. The last draw I saw, I noticed someone in my line of profession got ITA with 70points. I think I might just be fortunate too, to get with above 70points.

I may not be able to tell you want you want to hear. You knew the rule of what you applied for but you went against it. Even though your applications has not yet been approved, it still does not change the legislation and sadly, the COs work with legislations and not how we feel.. Anyways life will continue if the CO decides to follow the rules about your application.

482 is a work visa, you may have to confirm if that has a pathway to PR (what I read is that 482 applicant that have been on the visa for over 12 months or during the pandemic will be able to apply for PR) but I'm not sure if it applies to anyone applying now.
That may be a good option for you as your 489 is shaky as it is.

The other option is both of your strive for your visa, get it separately and run your stuff separately. Although there may still be a snag when you may apply for 887.

Goodluck bro

sorry please, can I get something clear! Are you guys saying that married people are not eligible for some visa subclasses?

Mcslize:


You have no problem then if your 5yrs work experience is verifiable.

Just take your PTE test and aim superior English scores. Are you single or married? Go for 491 to boost your points.

Western Australia and New South Wales only require 3yrs experience to apply for their 491.

Use this to calculate your points: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/help-support/tools/points-calculator

Carefully answer all the questions to get your projected point scores.

Sorry please, I'm new to this, and trying to read them up. I have just completed IELTS, and packaging my document for VETASSESS. From what I've read online, I think cut off points for 491 are less than 189 (https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/working-in-australia/skillselect/invitation-rounds).

My Questions are:

1. How can one get ITA from the various Regions (i.e. Western Australia and New South Wales) Is there a box to check and indicate interest on the States/Region when applying for EOI on 491?

2. I have observed that there are various subclasses (i.e 491, 189, 190, etc). Are applicants allowed to submit an Expression of Interest to more than one Subclass? e.g can I submit for EOI to 491 and also submit to 189, and 190 at the same time, just to broaden my chances?

CC: tunlex01

Let it be known, ASUU members are not beggars! They want to hold FG accountable and responsible for quality education. Did Ngerians buy Presidential Forms for them? Did Nigerians donate money for them to buy convoys and luxury mansions, or travel abroad for healthcare? If we spend that money, for how long will Nigerians donate again? Is it sustainable?

Let's think na

Allegory:

Where did you write the exam. You can use google to find the remark link

Ok. Thanks

Allegory:

To max out, what you need is LRSW= 8.5, 8, 7.5, 7.5
The second best scores are LRSW= 8, 7, 7, 7
Aiming for an all round 8 would get you the second best scores and you’d have missed maxing out by just 0.5 points. So better to aim to max out and at worst you land at tier 2.

The good news is that if you can do this well with little practice, you’ll probably max out at the second try. You maxed out speaking and writing which are the two parts that can easily change with a remark. You need to work on your listening and reading. You can also remark them if you like but they’re objective questions and it’s unlikely that the person marking made a mistake in both.

Thanks for your reply.

Please, how do I start the process of requesting a remark? I want to raise a protest. I am very confident that I answered all the questions well. I'm suspecting that I was shortchanged and deliberately marked poorly. Perhaps they do this to make people patronize them again. I must see to the end of this issue! Please what's the procedure and how much does it cost?

Hi someone pls help,
I'm new to these stuff, but have been following the thread. SO, I've done my WES and IELTS.

I decided to enter the pool today, but I've been redirected countless times to the same page. It's more like going round in circles. I keep seeing this error message shown below. So, please I would appreciate a guide on how to enter the pool. I have generated something that looks like a ten (10) digit code starting with two letters - "A Personal Reference Code". Please where do I input this code? I will appreciate useful tips. Thanks

I have just checked my IELTS Result. It's my first attempt. I didn't really prepare for it. I only watched a few (about 4 or 5) youtube videos and read for only 2 days due to my busy work schedules. The Result I saw online now is: SRLW - 8,7.5,7.5,7.5,.

My target was to get all-round 8, Do you think I can request a remark of this result?

I feel as if the marker is strict with marks!

Please, who else wrote MOD IELTS on 28th May?

How come results can't be found online? or is it just me?

Mostly medical fields and trade occupations are in demand. The situation right now is that no one is waiting for 189. Everyone is now looking to state nominations for 190 and 491.
491 has now become mainly available to offshore applicants.
In the last 3 months, we have had many invitations on Medical laboratory scientists and technicians, fitters, fitter-welder and other trade roles.
Even if I tell you the occupations in demand, if you don't have experience or assessment for any of those occupations, the information is not useful to you

Thanks

BTW, Do you pay to submit an expression of interest to 491 and 190? I've read it here but still don't understand how it works (https://www.kansaz.in/australia-immigration/subclass-491-visa). How can someone who is interested get into the pool and be selected? Ofcourse I understand that having Superior English and having VETASSESS ready are pre-requisites.

tunlex01:


No, there are 190 and 491 State sponsored nomination.
85 is dependent on occupation (some 100 have been waiting for over a year) and 189 has had like 2 rounds of invitations in the last 12 months. So don't bank on it.

Thank you for the clarifications.

With the information I have been able to gather online, it appears that the Australian Route is different from Canada's (previous) route in that, ONLY Occupations needed at that moment are granted ITA during the draws. There is no general draw inviting every Tom, D.ick, and Harry on the basis of having a high score in the pool - a draw strategy that the IRCC wants to now adopt. It is possible to have a very high score and not be invited to apply; especially if your occupation is not in need. The lesson in these for us all is that we MUST be careful of the Occupation we select.


In this case, do you have any idea about occupations that are very highly in demand, and that would often appear on the list of ITAs issued?

Please, does it mean that as an outlander WITHOUT a job offer and NOT having any siblings, only the 189 can be applied for?

Again, looking at the 189 route, it appears applicants with 85 points can be hopeful. I did the simulation and realized I had 85 (I haven't done the VETASSESS evaluation, but I'm quite hopeful for a positive outcome)

OP, 500k cash

270k

tunlex01:


I hope you have MSc and also know your experience will only be approved from the date recorded on your MSc cert.
Vetassess has a list of the documents here
https://www.vetassess.com.au/skills-assessment-for-migration/professional-occupations/eligibility-criteria
Yeah, payslips first and last but for DHA, it’s for all the years you are claiming.
The state nomination fee depends on state but it ranges from A$300-700

Thanks.

I have MSc, and PhD. I can easily get both transcripts sent to VETASSES because I didnt obtain them from a Nigerian University. I started work after my PhD and I'm only interested in claiming years of experience afterwards (its 8yrs now). I have some journal publications that could suffice as evidence also.

Can I ignore sending my BSc transcript since I'm not claiming points from after BSc? I want to avoid UNIBEN wahala with getting transcripts. Its extremely hectic and time consuming!

Hi All,
I'm new to this route. I've read some information online about this program, and I think it's viable.
I understand now that I would require VETASSESS to assess my credential and employment. I'm under 242111

My question is: What documents would be required to prove the years of employment, apart from the employment letter. Do I need payslips from the first year to date?

Modified** - I also read somewhere that there are State nomination fees to pay if an applicant is applying to a state, to be considered for nomination (https://truebluemigration.com/visa-fees/skilled-visa-application-costs-in-australia/), but can't find the fees anywhere. I'm interested in knowing how much the state's nomination fees are, just to enable proper planning of the expected expenses.

All hail the king of SIMPS. In the land of dimwits' , all the dimwits will call you miserable dimwit. Ode!

Greetings all. I hope I'm not too late to this party!

ECA sorted for me & spouse.

Next on the queue is IELTS.

I heard (or perhaps read somewhere about the two versions - MOD & British Council. Please is there any difference or advantage of one over the other?) . I dont mind taking any, but just to be sure I'm not missing anything. I think UNILAG is a test Centre. Any advise will be appreciated.

My camry did that o’

Maf was the culprit, too much black sooth at the exhaust’’

Scan the car you shld narrow it down to the bandit involved’

Mine had the same issue this week, with black soot in the exhaust. I scanned it with a scanner I purchased some months ago, and the scanner code read Fuel rail pressure sensor. I got the sensor for 7k and it was an easy fix. I gave the mechanic just 500naira because he has been the one working for me and the device needed just two screws off to replace it..right there on top of the engine. Now the car runs fine.

toujurs:
This girls doesn't have class, at all. She should have ignored the guy. Haba. Why bring her self to this shame na

I never knew anything about her...before this saga. Watching this video response of hers, clearly suggests to me that she's a motorpark holigan. She's not different from the Lagos under-bridge agberos! na just packaging and bleaching cream seems to help her upgrade herself to a glorified agbero!

Sisora:
The ex did a big damage on her especially that line about dirty pant.


She'll never recover from there

It was a deadly jab, a fatal sting, a ruthless uppercut! She's in severe pains and I'm sure she isn't gonna recover from that line anytime soon. Even prospective suitors will be on the run now. The ones who would dare near her will approach her with one hand covering their nose to avoid the stench!

I think it's more about showing they have N100m to fritter away on an aimless pursuit than actually desiring to be president. Many of them know too well that they CAN NOT, by any means, garner more than 70 votes, but still go ahead to purchase the forms. They are simply rubbing their ostentatious living and ill-gotten affluence on the faces of Nigerians. Affording presidential forms is now a status symbol, than the desire to lead the nation!
