Hi all,

Is there anyone who can advise possible options in Australia for a Nigerian trained medical doctor (the person has risen to consultant nephrologist with about 14 years experience)?

Go through your spouse if they have a skilled occupation and you can start your process while offshore
Or go through UK PLAB
3rd option is through the standard pathway for international practitioners (check MedBA website). You will need to sit for the AMC/MCQ exam.

I've worked independently as a civil for the past years, I've a registered company
For this period but not a tax clearance.

Would getting tax clearance validate the experience for all this years?

I don't have payslip and have done most business with other account

High everyone, I'm a coren licensed engineer who's about to apply for Australia engineer assessment I need help on the process please.
Just passed their IELTS bands requirement.

I'm confused on their specific occupation to choose as I saw Civil Engineering technician or draftsman.


Thanks.

Civil engineering technician is assessed by Vetassess while Draftsperson is assessed by both Vetassess and EA. Please check the job descriptions for each and select which one best describe your role. Then visit their respected to read about the process.

Vetassess website (you can type it on Google) and read through their requirements

sdabo:
Hello House,

Please is English test mandotary for Nigerians in submitting CDR/skill assessment to engineers Australia?
Also, I have pension statement but I don't have tax statement although my payslip contains informations about my tax contribution. How can that affect my skill asessement? I worked in a company, I need guidance on how i can generate the tax statement

Yes. It’s compulsory.
Speak to your HR or Accountant on how to get tax statement or clearance. Tax deduction on payslip does not change the name of the document; it’s still a Pay slip not a tax statement or clearance.
If you work in Lagos and you have a tax ID, you can chat LIRS on their website

adewalay:
Thank you for your consistent and swift responses.

The company operates more like a sole proprietorship, and I'm exploring the option of paying personal income tax myself, but I need to inquire about the process.

Unfortunately, there are no tax or pension records available from this company.

I'm in need of 20 points to meet the required threshold:
Age : 25 points
Qualification : 15 points
IELTS : not done yet.
Although I have about 8 years of working experience, I lack tax records to claim those points.

I considered the self-employed route, but my company was recently registered, and I don't have updated documents yet.

Given these circumstances, what would be your advice on obtaining the remaining 20 points required for the application?

I would say pay outstanding taxes and apply for a tax statement/clearance

Internal Auditor

BSc - Unilag and MBA - University of Lincoln, UK

I have all documents that may be needed, Payslip, tax, Employment letter ,Bank statement showing salary, Pension statement, Personal Tax statement
Reference letter from employers

Is there an alternate route the score could work for or I will have to rewrite the English test

Thanks

Those qualifications would fly for Internal auditor. Ensure your team is actually independent; that's what Vetassess look out for the most for internal auditor assessment. This is depicted in your organogram.
No there is no alternative route for that. Internal auditor is competitive so high scores are expected to even get a nomination.

penitential:
Civil engineering draft person is assessed by, both EA and Vetasses actually.

As regards JD, I will check that up also.

You are correct. Thanks for pointing that out.

penitential:
Bro,

Please kindly shed more light on this profile.

HND-2013 (civil engineering)
PGD-2021 (civil engineering )

I currently have 8years+ working as as site engineer

I want to assess with EA as a civil engineering draftperson, but with my HND so I can claim points for my 8 years work experience.

Please kindly advise the possibility.

Can EA assess my ND and HND for civil engineering draftperson?

Civil engineering draftsperson CED is assessed by Vetassess not EA.
Also CED is different from site engineer. So your job descriptions must be at least 80-90% CED.
You will have to provide all the 3 transcripts and certificates

Nger88:
Please can someone help me to assess my application and the route

1. I want to apply as an Auditor

2. I have sufficient work experience (over 5yrs)

3. BSc in Economics and MBA

4 Age between 33 - 39

5. Written Ielts General LRWS 8, 9, 7.5 , 6.5 respectively

What is the visa class, route & process

Thanks

What kind of auditor? Internal or external?
Your universities? The year of graduation for each degree?
Documents available for the employment?
English score is not good enough. Minimum of 7 will get you there, minimum of 8 will move you faster

OreoPaschal:
Thank you very much, Tunlex.

I have some few questions.
1. Will they have to contact my present employer to confirm my role and deliverables? If no, which document is required for verification.

2. After the assessment what will be the next step or line of action? Is it an automated nomination if I met their requirement or I will proceed to another round of nomination?

3. Is the charges in USD or AUD?

Thank you many times.

I am grateful for your feedbacks.

1. They may or may not. List of documents here

https://www.vetassess.com.au/skills-assessment-for-migration/skills-assessment-for-professional-occupations/am-i-eligible-to-apply-with-my-professional

2. You have to lodge an EOI for each state. Please take your time to read through this thread from the beginning. And no, there is no automatic nomination. You will have to apply and pay for nomination in most cases.

3. Australia uses AUD not USD.

OreoPaschal:
Many thanks Tunlex.

I have carefully gone through the site as recommended. Yes, all my degrees are in Agriculture (Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness Management respectively). I found Agricultural Consultant (234111) and Management Consultant (224711) as key occupations that align with my present task on my new role.

I will be expecting your feedback on the next line of action.

Thank you once more and Happy holidays.

Visit Vetassess website to read the information sheet for each occupation.
When you search for an occupation, read the information sheet and see which of the two best aligns to your experience

adewalay:
Thank you so much for your continuous support.
My assessing body is Engineering Australia.
Does this imply that I shouldn't apply since I lack the necessary documents, considering I work for a private company?

For EA, tax or pension is required.
If you don’t have, you may not be able to claim points for those years of experience. You can assess just your qualification (CDR) with EA. Also, you can get your company to pay the outstanding personal income taxes on your behalf.

Private companies are not exempted from tax or pension except in some special situations

OreoPaschal:
Hello Tunlex.

Many thanks for all you do. I would like to get some insights from you as I have interest migrating by next year. Here is my profile.

I have a Bachelor's degree and two Masters in Agriculture. I have been working in the Agricultural and consulting space since 2018. I am 30yo and single. Which route would you advice. Your advice will come handy to align my thoughts reading through the 300+ thread.

I look forward to your feedback.

Thank you

adewalay:
What if I work for a private company and lack the documents listed here? Can I still proceed with the employment skilled assessment?
I don't have payslips, pension statements, or personal tax statements available.

it depends on your assessing body. Vetassess will be okay with bank statement only but with DHA and most other bodies, you will need pension or tax in addition to other payment evidences.

shevasonsean:
Hi,

Pls I have some questions I would need clarifications on from the elders here. Kindly help out @tunlex01. Thanks in advance.

I have 5 years of work experience but only 14 months in the profession I am nominating for assessment. Do I need to provide employment records for all 5 years of work or just the relevant one year plus experience, which also satisfies vetasses requirements?

As an engineer, would I require any further assessment as regards migration other than vetasses? I have heard a couple of people mention Engineer Australia assessment. Please help clarify. Thanks.

You can assess the 14 months with Vetassess and provide documents just for the 14 months.

leokennedi:
Thanks for your response so far. For the CCM or CC team leader, I didn't see the ❌. If you can share me a link, I'll appreciate. This was what I found(see screenshot below)

This is the link I used....https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/working-in-australia/skill-occupation-list#

And for her BSc, she graduated with Biochemistry from Imo State University, and the only work related experience she has is working in a Pharmacy for more than two years.

I used anzscosearch.com
From your screenshot below, it shows you can only be nominated by an employer for 494 or 187. It will be hard finding an employer for such jobs as Contact centers are mainly in the cities.

ab4m:
Good day, all, please help me access my profile.

I want to access for Accountant or Auditor.

Visa class 491 - 15 points.

IELTS - I got at least 6 in each component 0 points.

Age - 33 - 39 - 25 points.

Education - though I have a masters in 2022, and I am thinking of using my bachelor's 15 points.

Work experience - this is where I have an issue, though I can claim 8 years to give me 15 points, the issue is getting the documents to submit as most of my work is with a private small company and my salary is not going to my bank account from a company account.

I also have a business I can use. My question goes thus:
1. Please which document do I need to claim work experience if am using my business?
2. If I am using the private company as stated above, which documents will I need?

Accountant assessment requires IELTS Academic or PTE - minimum of 7 or 65 in each band.
If you did not graduate from Accounting from OAU, FUTA, UI or Unilag, you need to add your Masters.

Documents for Self employment
Business (CAC) registration certificate
Letter from your accountant/lawyer stating your job descriptions and key dates
Bank statement showing business transactions
Company Income tax statement or Personal Income tax statement
Copies of invoice issued to customers
Copies of invoice received from suppliers
Organisational chart
Company Financial report
Letter from clients indicating the services you provide to them

Documents for Employee
Employment letter
Payslips
Bank statement showing salary
Pension statement
Personal Tax statement
Reference letter

leokennedi:
Thank you so much @tunlex01. I checked the occupation list and I also saw Call or Contact Centre Manager and Call or contact center team leader. Can she apply for this since it's related.

Also I saw Biochemist. Can she apply for that since that's what she studied in her BSc?

CCM or CC Team Leader are not being nominated on any visa. You will see the ❌ beside the visa type.

IF she has at least 12 months as a Biochemist and finished from a tier 1 university (OAU, Unilag, FUTA or UI).

judemurphy:
Good day all,
Please I need help with information on how long it takes for visa to be out after application

depends on the processing time for the visa you are applying for. Between 3 months to 3 years.

OlaLiberty:
@Tunlex01 and experience folks.
I have my Ielts L 6.5 R 8.0 S 7.5 and W 6.5 is it advisable to go for assessment with EA with this score? I hope to write the test to get a better score. Occupation is Geotechnical Engineer

yes you can

Ama2022:
Hi All,
Please I need info about Australia.
I am currently in my final level, studying B.Ed in Biology at 2.1 ( second class upper) I need help on how to begin my Australia journey. Do I start now or wait till I finish my Bsc in 2024 and when I finish, what's the best path I can take to migrate to Australia with my degree. Are there jobs opportunities for me and how can I start this journey. Thanks.

Which university?

leokennedi:
Good morning everyone, good morning @tunlex01

Please I need advice on this.
I'm 31 and my wife is 24, we're both BSc holders. (Graduated with Second Class upper)

We want to apply for Australia PR and she'll be the main applicant. She's preparing for IELTS at the moment. Her BSc is Biochemistry and she has more than two years working experience in Customer Service role, lead generation and account management. I attached her work experience

Please, I'll need an advice on the which skilled job option will help us or put us in a better position of getting a PR?

your class of degree does not count or matter in this process.
Customer service/lead generation is not in the occupation list. You have to be at managerial level to assess similar roles.

Cest2023:
Good day boss, please I’d like to ask few questions and seek your opinion on something privately. Can I send a dm?

Sure you can

Jtlumi:
@tunlex01 Good morning. To better articulate myself, I studied B.A Ed English degree in Unilorin. I have 4 years of teaching experience and I am also an IT Project Manager working remotely for a US based company and have led a team of core professionals in building an Edtech application. I attempted to get my assessment done by aitsl late last year but it was considered unsuitable. My IELTS Score is: L=8,S=8,R=8.5,W=7. What other option do I have to migrate to Australia? I would appreciate your guidance. Thank you.

Do you have up to 6 years experience as IT Manager?

Jtlumi:
Good evening @tunlex01 I actually have my IELTS LS88, RW8.5 7. I attempted the AITSL assessment late last year and my qualification was considered unsuitable. What are my options of migrating to Aussie as a teacher? Can I try going for the any state assessment instead?

PS: I graduated from Unilorin and my IELTS expires next week

Skills assessment by AITSL is for migration/visa. I am not sure there is any exemption for state assessment as you will still need AITSL if you want to get a visa except AITSL assessment is not required for 482 visa.

Firebomber:
Boss man, please help put me through, I just login to the website now, I'm a graduate with a bachelor in surveying and Geo informatics and also 5 years experience working in construction as a Surveyor. Please can you put me through

Login into which website?

inagbe1:
Hello folks, i am a Pharmacist and I have experience as both hospital and industrial Pharmacist but I have a constraint limiting me from proceeding with this Australia immigration . The problem is that I would be 45 years old by April next year and I know that the maximum age for Australian PR is 45.I want to seek for advice from elders in the house if there are alternate routes to PR for people of my age. Thanks

If you have funds, apply for priority processing with Vetassess for Industrial pharmacist or Pharmacy technician. If you get your documents ready and apply on the day Vetassess resumes priority in January, you may be able to get your result in less than 10 days and apply for EOI then follow up with emails to different state for nomination.

Opemipo2107:
Firstly , thank you for taking out time to respond to my enquiries. I really appreciate you.

To your questions; I wrote general and my teaching practice was at a secondary school. Also , My certificate says Bachelor of Science Education.
Thanks.

Okay. You need to write IELTS Academic - LS88, RW77.

stevepeter2100:
Good day everyone

Kindly help me check this, for my partner.

Uniben 2015: Medical Physiology

Bank: 2 years - Internal 2 years Risk and Compliance with professional certificates.

I noticed that the job description for Internal Auditor is very similar to her role as a risk and compliance officer.

Can she do skills assessment for internal auditors? What’s the probability of scaling?

How many years was the duration of the degree?
No, risk/compliancd cannot get a positive assessment as an internal audit.

blackbriar:
if you have your a copy of your transcript.
Best to go a federal court , notarise every page of the transcript (certified true copy) and send for Skill Assessment.
Waiting for naija
university is a longggggggggggg thing.

he doesnt even need to notarise it
He/she can just upload it

Opemipo2107:
Good evening wonderful people. I am new on this thread and really struggling to understand the process. So I’ll just put my profile here for assessment.
30 years old , university of Lagos ( chemistry education ). 4 years experience as chemistry teacher. I wrote IELTS already L 9 - R 8 - S 8.5 W 7. I also speak French at intermediate level and have a certificate to show my competence. Single and no kids.
Please is this profile eligible ? Thanks

Absolutely smashing profile. Was your IELTS Academic or general? Was your teaching pracctice in a secondary school?

acapugo:
Good day
i need an advice my fellow japarians!

i am really confused about this TRANSCRIPT issue.
For the TRA Skilled Assessment, i know that Transcript is a requirement BUT my question is this,
will I attach my transcript with other documents, or MY School will be the ones to send the transcript to them?

thanks.

Just scan your student copy. That's all you need to do.
