Good day guys,

Please has anyone here with Bsc Economics migration via the Skill migration PR route?

The last time I did assessment with Vetssess, I got a negative assessment.

Citing my bachelors in Economics as equivalent to the associate degree.

Oh sorry about that!

It has been established here in part 1 and 2 that not all Nigerian bachelors are considered Bachelors for Australia migration purposes.

A few people have been nominated for Economist however they either have a Masters or graduated from a tier 1 university.[/i][i]

Hi everyone, I have 70 points excluding my state points, my occupation is Database Administrator 262111.

My English score is under proficient and I have a ACS of 2 years and 1 month working experience. I also have a masters.

Please what are my chances for 190 and 491?

No one can predict it for your occupation because it's not a priority and there is no shortage (especially if you are offshore)

leksbore:
Pls ,a bsc economics from NOUN, a plumbing technician,,,,,,pls can the person apply and what visa?

The person can only apply only if they have qualification certificate and transcript as a plumber. Also the process for plumbers requires going to UK or South Africa for practical exam.

platypelloid:
Good Morning house
I am a general Medical Doctor with 11 years work experience,Age 42
Pls what is my chances and what subclass should I apply for?

How do I start pls?

Thanks you All

You need an Australian registration before you can apply for a skilled visa.
Your other option is to write the AMC and then use that to look for employers specifically in regional areas who can sponsor you on 482 visa.

Are you a Head of department?
Are you married? If yes, what does your spouse do for work?

Kenny4smart:
Hi everyone, just a quick one please 🙏

I submitted a PhD application to the University of Sydney from the UK. The admissions team has now requested additional documents, including the completion of the GS Assessment form and evidence of financial capacity, such as bank statements or a savings certificate for either myself or my sponsor before my application can be processed.

Has anyone experienced being asked for financial documents at the application stage? I was under the impression that these are usually required only at the time of CoE issuance or visa application.

Yes they are asked at this stage. The school needs to know you are capable before extending the admission to you.

Head of operations

That’s on the list however there hasn’t been a nomination for the occupation in over 2 years.

Zammy123:
Good day everyone. If I have a sub class 600 with no clause attached to it. Is it possible to apply for work permit inside Australia if I secure a job inside Australia? Please I need input on this 🙏

Depends on what kind of visitor visa stream you have even if you don’t have the clause.

Threemg:
Thanks so much Baba, I just need few clarifications in some of the documentations I have gathered so far, trying not to spam the group that was why I asked specifically that way one of those people in that category can relate and give the appropriate guidance.

Okay. It’s the same document whether you are applying from these countries or Nigeria. The only difference is that you don’t do biometrics

Shofat4real:
I have been working in RCC construction for 8 years. Do I stand a chance to qualify for Subclass 189?

You do not qualify because EKSU is a tier 2 uni and a 4 year course from there will not be positively assessed by the Australian accounting bodies without an MSc in Accounting or ACCA. ICAN MAY also fly.

Also, the occupation has limited chance.

Shofat4real:

hammed71:
Good morning guys, please Is Uber delivery work eligible for work experience to apply for any Australian work or immigration programs

No

Threemg:
Hello everyone,

Thanks so much for the work the mods here are doing. Please does anyone here moved to Australia as a professional say from US, Canada or UK? I would really appreciate and love to connect with anyone who's travelled this path or have someone connect me with whoever has done this. Just need few clarifications and guidance

You can post your questions here. A few people I know moved from those countries to Australia

Gotocourt:
Am a Surveyor, Australia is my first choice. GCA was liquidated August 2025, ISNSW was appointed in November 2025 as the assessing body but it's yet to be listed in the legislative instrument list which I find tiring 😥. Do you have an idea on how long assessment bodies take to be listed?

It doesn't take time but because this is a singular change, it may. Best thing to do is to keep emailing DHA and ISNSW.

Nickxander11:
My brother, we need to move out fast. The Australian pathway takes a long time especially if one isn't into trades at the moment. You can spend 3-5 years waiting to receive invite..smh, na long waka.

I get you...if you have the funds for NZ, why not?

stassyeloka:
I want to access my skills as structural engineer and I am 37 years old this year, what are my chances and how I start?

Assess*

Yes you can assess if you meet the CDR and RSEA requirements of Engineers Australia.

Soleye24:
I am a transaction service supervisor, I graduated from university of Ilorin. Kindly assist.

I'm afraid that's not an occupation on the skilled occupation list. There is no occupation you can assess at the moment as a TSS.

Nickxander11:
Thank you for the advice. I have applied to unitec and I am waiting for their feedback. My major fear is not getting job at all in both fields within the 1 year PSV. I am also giving Ireland a try, which happens to have both fields in their critical list. I guess I will make a final decision at the outcome of both applications.

Why are you not applying directly to Australia for skilled visas 189, 190 and/or 491?

Candaceyanju:
I dont know what may be wrong with this EOI submission. Please what may be the reason for this:

The information in your screenshot is clear. EOI requires a positive skills assessment and at minimum Competent English score from any of the 9 English test options.

Candaceyanju:
Good day House.

I'm new here, I have read most of the comments and responses.
Please which of the visa classes is the best to apply?
189 , 190, 489, 491

I have Bsc in Microbiology with over 8 years experience in Marketing. I'm also into Digital marketing, Website design and Video editing.
I have some certifications in IT(Oracle ), though I have not worked in this area before. I have PGD in Biomedical Engineering also.

Visa option is not your first task. Your first step is to identify the occupation you want to nominate and if you are eligible for it.
Which uni did you graduate from and which occupation do you want to nominate from the Skilled occupation list?

Soleye24:
Good afternoon big man, please I need help on where I actually fit. I studied biochemistry and graduated in 2017 with a second class upper.

Since then I have been teaching chemistry and biology before getting a job in a Nigeria commercial bank in 2022. This is my 4th year as a banker and by the grace of God I will be completing my MBA (marketing) this year April.
Kindly advise me on where I fit in and the necessary steps to take, thank you.

Banker is not an occupation. You need to be specific about your role in the bank and the university you graduated from

Hi House! Please I need guidance and advice from experience members of the house

I hold a Diploma in Welding with 3 years of work experience as a welder. I recently applied for a skills assessment with Trades Recognition Australia (TRA), but unfortunately, I received a negative assessment. Reason for the Negative Outcome TRA stated that they were unable to verify: My employment, and My educational qualification due to lack of response from my employer. However, during my application, I clearly provided My employer’s official email address and My institution’s official email address. Instead of using the contact details I provided, TRA appears to have independently sourced email from the employer’s and institution’s websites (this is my thinking because they didn't disclose to me the email they've contacted). These emails are currently inactive with no specific person responsible to them, which likely explains why they received no response. Based on this, they issued a negative assessment to me.

TRA refused to consider my complain and instead they asked me to apply for a review and pay an additional fee or apply fresh application which both will cost me same amount of money. My concern is that I may receive the same outcome if they continue using email addresses other than those officially provided in my documents.

Alternative Option I Am Considering:

I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering with 5 years of professional engineering experience. Because of this, I am considering switching my assessment pathway to Engineers Australia instead.

Key Questions I Need Advice On:

1️⃣ Should I proceed with TRA (review or fresh application)? This is because TRA occupations generally receive quicker invitations.The points requirement is often lower compared to Professional paths. However, I am worried about another negative outcome if they continue using inactive website emails instead of the official contact details provided in my application.

2️⃣ Should I abandon TRA and apply through Engineers Australia instead?Does Engineers Australia rely strictly on the official employer contact details submitted in the application? Or do they also source contact details independently like TRA?

Your best option is TRA (Engineers Australia assessment will be fast but nomination may never come) while Welder nomination is fast within a couple of weeks.

The email you supplied, is it an official email address with domain name and not gmail?
What you can do is in your application, put in a letter stating that the email on the website is not currently monitored and the company is not big on IT as it's a welding company.

Don't do a new application but a review.

@tunlex01 and everyone.

I am 30, married.
BSc (Ed) Computer Science Education with 5 years of experience FOR Secondary school teacher 190

I want to start my aitsl for my degree. Still, I researched things about tier 1 universities and from information gathered online that only a tier 1 degree university is accepted as AQF 7 standard BUT in my own case my degree is a *5 years course* is it eligible?

Just need clarification before I start the process.

Yes, only tier 1 qualify.
If your degree is not tier 1, then you need a PGDE.

jagadab:

adebaba5:
Hello House, I'm 31yrs with a diploma(ND & HND) in elect/elect engineering I have have 3 years experience as a power distribution system operator and 2 years experience as a production Technician.
My wife is 27 and she studied biochemistry with 1 year experience as a lab scientist.
I have gone through the occupation list and I found;
323211 Fitter(general)
312312 Electrical Engineering Technician
312311 Electrical Engineering Draft person
What occupation do I have a very high chance on among the ones listed above.
Thanks 🙏

Fitter - not possible (requires a Mechanical engineering qualification)
Electrical Engineering technician - pls review the job descriptions very well to be sure it matches what you do to avoid a negative outcome. if they match, then you are good to go as long as you have Payslips, bank statement and pension for the last 3 years and you are still working.

Fitter is better but you don't qualify. 312312 is the next best thing

Ykolags:
Hello everyone,

I am about to begin my PR journey and would sincerely appreciate guidance from experienced members here.

I am 37 years old, single

B.Sc in Building Construction
Close to 5 years of total experience in the construction field
Over 1-year active internship
About 2 years of solid post-graduation experience (excluding NYSC)
NYSC at Lagos State Ministry of Works,
Registered my own construction company during NYSC (one-man business, handled projects independently)
Master’s degree in Environmental Engineering (completed in Poland). Currently partnering with a startup in the UK on waste management sustainability. (Freelance)
I currently work as a data centre technician here in Poland.
IELTS 7 (overall)

My concerns:
• I am currently living in Poland, my current job does not count as I don't have a degree in computer science
• My NYSC experience was at the Lagos state Ministry of Works — not sure if this counts for skill assessment.
• My self-employed experience has no payslips or tax documents. And I am outside Nigeria, not sure I can work that out
• My master’s in Environmental Engineering, not sure if my freelancing with this startup company in the uk counts

When did you stop working in Construction?
Do you still have your self-employment documents and evidnece of all the projects you carried out?

1. current job will not count.
2. Yes it may count if the job descriptions align with nominated occupation and you have documents to prove the year.
3. you can pay all your outstanding tax. For self employed, you dont need payslips. these are some of the documents you need:

Business (CAC) registration certificate
Bank statement showing business transactions
Company Income tax statement
Personal Income tax statement
Copies of invoice issued to customers
Copies of invoice received from suppliers
Organisational chart
Company Financial report

4. Depends on your job role with the startup and the job descriptions. If they don't match the nominated occupation then it won't count but if otherwise, it will count

Babbyad:
Try NIV. You will get it with these background of yours. You will however need to supplement it one or more documents to make it stronger...

Which category of NIV do you reckon this person qualify for?
