Bank transfer from the directors personal account and from clients occasionally.

Then the person will need to put that together and add a letter of explanation

Thanks, I have over 10 years in cybersecurity. I calculated 75 (assuming proficient english) so, maybe 85 if I write the PTE. What do you think of my chances?
Is it also true for ACS assessment, all experience before I get my masters (the qualifying degree) would not count?

75 or 85 is not the best score for most IT occupations at the moment. Also nomination/invitation has been scarce for most ACS occupatons.
You may still go ahead and hope there is a miracle/change soon.

For employment deduction, it depends on when your Masters was issued.
ACS may take between 2-4 years but there are ways around it.

A friend has nine years job experience under a company whom is paid on percentage basis of jobs executed, the companyhas agreed to give reference, TCC and all that's required. He just switched to a new job which pay him salary from company account. Will he be able to claim all previous years as there's no salary or payment from company account?

So how was he paid for the executed jobs?

So how was he paid for the executed jobs? Cash? Cheque?

Whichever the option, they will need to provide more evidence than just reference letter and tax.
Any evidence at all to prove they got paid for the job

Hello everyone,

Could someone please submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) for subclass 190 with 65 points (proficient English)? With an additional 5 points for subclass 190, I will have a total of 70 points. I plan to retake the PTE in a few months to achieve a superior score, which will increase my total to 80 points. My question is, if I obtain the superior score, can I update the EOI, or should I wait until I have the superior score before submitting it?
And will I be nominated to apply for a Visa?
My skill assessment is Life scientist nec.

Yes you can submit an EOI.
EOI can always be updated when you have the superior result

Please I’m a carpenter and joiner and I want to apply for skills assessment through the TRA MSA route. I have an apprenticeship certificate from my two years apprenticeship program in a Nigerian company, I also have a transcript with trade test 1,2and 3. My course match closely with Australia cert111 courses for carpentry. Please can my qualification be assessed as aqf equivalent?

Is your company approved by NBTE to train people?

Whao so just these schools? Haba

Riqsam:
Hi, I want to apply for carpentry skill assessment, please do you have a WhatsApp group? Also in order to proof my qualification is certlll equivalent, must I provide only trade test l or I II and III with my formal training certificate? Please I really need a guide on this. And can I claim work experience for been paid in cash with a supporting statutory letter from my employer?

Cert III with 3 years experience are the major requirements. If it's a certificate from NIgeria, then it must be from an approved NBTE center.
Trade test is not mandatory. You dont even need to provide it.
Cash in this day and age is a lot of work. It's hard to convince a Case officer you are still being paid cash.
Also, a supporting statutory letter only won't fly.

Hi everyone;

I would like your opinion on if my profile is worth it:
1. B. Eng in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. 2014
2. About to complete my masters in Information Security and Digital Forensics; University of East London
3. Cybersecurity experience since 2015
4. I would be 34 next month

Want to try for the 189 and 190.

I tried to use the points calculator but I did not see any option that fits my age description.

You can use this to check your points - https://www.anzscosearch.com/points-test/

How many years of experience do you have in Cyber?

Sabanka:
Hi everyone,

I’m considering Australian skilled migration and would appreciate advice from anyone familiar with the process, especially Nigerian engineers who have gone through it recently.

My profile:

- 26 years old, Nigerian
- BEng Chemical Engineering (2:1), Covenant University, 2022
- Currently completing an MSc Petroleum Asset Management, University of Port Harcourt
- 3+ years’ experience in upstream oil & gas
- Currently working as a Petroleum Engineer Analyst
- Experience across production engineering, forecasting, reserves, economics/business planning and portfolio analysis
- Skills: Excel, Power BI, Python, SQL, GAP, PROSPER, MBAL
- No Australian study/work experience
- Yet to take IELTS/PTE

I’m primarily interested in the 189, 190 or 491 skilled migration routes.

I’d appreciate advice on:

1. Should I nominate Chemical Engineer or Petroleum Engineer, and how would Engineers Australia assess my degree/work experience?
2. What points range should I realistically target?
3. Which states are currently worth considering for my background?
4. Would applying directly from Nigeria make sense, or would Australian postgraduate study significantly improve my prospects?
5. What should I roughly budget for the entire process?

My long-term career interest is broader energy, so I’m also open to power, renewables, energy systems/economics and techno-economic roles.

Thanks in advance.

1. Maybe with your Msc degree, you may be able to assess as a Petroleum Engineer.
2. For 189, over 90 points. For 190 or 491, it's up to the state.
3. Chemical/Petroleum are not priority occupations at the moment for the states.
4. You can do either. Applying from Australia may be better; however from next year, studying in Australia will not translate to points for skilled migration. (fingers crossed for the proposed changes)
5. Could cost up to A$10,000 or more for a single applicant

To qualify for a skilled engineering occupation in Australia, your primary target is to obtain a Positive Skills Assessment from Engineers Australia EA

how many years was your Bsc?

Simplyjuealla:
i am a teacher holding Bsc.ed (Mathematics), 3 months teaching practice, with 8 years teaching experience ( 3 years international) . My degree is from tai solarin university of education. Please teach me how to get started with relocating to Australia.

TASUED is a tier 2 uni. As a result, you will need a PGDE to start or explore New Zealand teacher's process. I dont know much about the NZ process

NotATroll:
So, being expensive is the only caveat? And are those exams written from Nigeria or has to be taken in Australia?

NCLEX can be written anywhere I believe. OSCE has to be done in Australia

Joyfulgal:
Good day everyone,
I'm new here. I am 39 yrs with three kids. I have my first degree in chemical engineering and also my masters in chemical engineering both from university of port Harcourt.I have 6 years experience in teaching although no certification in education. I also sew(fashion and designing).

My spouse is 36 yrs and a surveyor. He has 16 years experience in offshore survey. And has a valid visa to some countries due to his job.

Please how do I begin? Which route will permit me to relocate with my kids please?

The option for you is limited because you dont have experience in CE and in teaching, you dont have a qualification.

Your partner should be able to assess his experience.Both of you need to check the occupation list for the occupation(s) you can nominate.

NotATroll:
Good day everyone,
My wife graduated with BSc Nursing from Bayero University Kano (BUK).
She is on internship at University of Abuja Teaching hospital. Abuja. I hear nurses need to have 2 years working experience including internship and service. So, I want to start looking for information and funds before the time comes.

I don't know anything about Japa processes so, I'm sorry if I sound unbearably naive.
She is 26 yo and I am 40 yo.

I was thinking she applies for a job and I follow as a dependent. Is there any chance of that being successful or is there a more realistic route?

I'm a QS graduate from Fed. uni of Tech Minna. But, not practising so, I wouldn't bother going with mine. Though 2D and 3D animation here and there is what I do for small money.

Please is there any chance for us?
If yes, where do I start from and what will be our greatest challenge and how do we overcome it.

Thank you

Cc @tunlex01

Nursing process is expensive because your partner will need to be registered in Australia to even get a skills assessment and registration with AHPRA would require English test, NCLEX, self-check and OSCE practical exam

Boss, how about Surveyor 232212

189 65 points

491 80 points

Offshore

Blessup 🙌

Just lodge EOI and hope for the best

Darrenpraise:
My first degree is from Noun, M.Ed from U.
nijos

NOUN is not a tier 1 university. As a result, your first degree is considered an Associate degree and cannot assess as a teacher because AITSL requires a Bachelor equivalent (AQF 7) while your degree is AQF 6.
You will need a PGDE with a minimum of 9 weeks teaching practice to assess.
Masters will not count because it does not have teaching practice element except yours does and it's included on your transcript

Which uni is your first degree? That's the only thing that can either qualify or disqualify you

that's correct but visa fee is not cheap. it's currently 6,140 for the primary applicant.

Good evening everyone.
Pls im a Nigerian Radiographer due to end internship this month.
I’d love to relocate to Australia but I’d love to ask the wonderful health workers here something.
Do I need to write exams?
And is my one year of internship sufficient to relocate?
Would a budget of 10-15m also be enough?
Thanks.

Radiography is a hot cake occupation however you need at least 2-3 years experience post internship to assess. You cannot assess yet since you don't have independent practice. All the details are here
https://asmirt.org/overseas-assessments/

modskiller:
Good morning sir

Please how can one write the AMC

I have a nurse who would love to apply

AMC is for doctors not nurses

modskiller:
Hello all,

Does anyone if someone who’s a practicing psychiatrict nurse in Nigeria can apply

If yes, how best can one go about it and what are the requirements

All inputs will be highly appreciated 🙏🙏🙏

Yes if you have a Bsc, however assessing as a Nurse would require you have a nursing registration first. And that's a long and expensive process especially if you practice in Nigeria.

Are you married? If yes, what does your spouse do?
