No I don't have experience in social worker, is it a mandatory criteria to do your MSC in SW?

No, I was thinking of you going through the skilled migration instead of student visa if you had experience

azarenka:
Hello guys!
Please I am asking for someone.
Can someone who studied Sociology and Anthropology first degree do a masters in social works?

Also is IELTS compulsory for all?

Yes. Do you have experience already as a social worker?

matil1011:
In a situation where one is unble to get the payslip from previous employee and don't have access to the account been used for salary in previous employee due to the closing of the account. Please is there any other ways one can go about it?

Speak to your bank, all closed account can still be retrieved depending on the year. DHA and assessing authorities only consider last 10 years so the bank should still have such records.
Or get the payslips. Tax or pension is also a good extra

AbdulAkpan:
Good day everyone, Please forgive me for taking you guys aback. I need the step to step guide on this opportunity.

This is Vetassess requirement not DHA requirement.

Please, who has AUD presently and needs naira?

Have you found a solution? If not, send me an email

Saynoomore:
Thanks bro!

I've received the nomination mail now, and have been given 2 months to apply! I least expected they'd nominate me so fast. In fact, I'm yet to raise the money for a family of 5. The money is quite huge . My questions are:

1. Can I apply alone for the 190 subclass, and later apply for spouse and kids?

2. What are job prospects in SA ? How easy is it to find any job to get-by (while white-collar jobs are desirable, I'm not insisting on white-collar job. I'm okay with any job just to get busy, such as a blue-collar job until one finds a white-collar job). I tried going online to search for this information and read a lady's comments complaining about the difficulties involved in getting a job in SA. Her comments got me scared!

3. How easy is it to settle in SA.

1. Yes, but I’ll prefer you apply for everyone at once and you can move to Australia first while the rest of the family joins later. It’s easier that way cos applying later for spouse and family will cost you more money.

2. Job prospects is great in SA. I can see you are open minded, just add positivity to it and you will fly. Jobs are available everywhere and one person’s experience does not invalidate others. I have had jobs back to back and same with others here and in the groups. If you think you can get a white collar job in 2 weeks upon landing, work towards it and you can get it. Don’t limit yourself. Some have even gotten jobs before they landed.
3. SA has a lot of people within close proximity cos it’s mainly Adelaide. So settling in should be fine. Of course it’s not going to be smooth cos you are moving to a new country but you will survive. We all did. And the best part is you are coming in as PR.

65 is the minimum invitation score but not for accountants.
Profile: none cos those two occupations are competitive however your spouse may have a better chance

Good morning house,
I want to ask, if your being sponsored by a cooperate account, what are the documents you provide to the embassy

Cooperative or Corporate account?
None of these work for skilled migration except you are referring to a different visa

Ajuobi123:
Good day everyone. Thank you all for all the valuable information. I have been able to go through the thread.

But please I want to ask which of the following (CPA, IPA, or CAANZ) is likely to give a positive educational assessment for BSc Accounting from UNN with 5 years of work experience as an accountant. Thanks

All of them, as long as you meet the requirements

qotl:
Hello everyone,
I’ll really appreciate if I can get responses to this post.
I have a BSc in Information Resources Management, MSc in Industrial and Labour Relations but I work as an administrative officer.
My mum has a restaurant which has been in operation since 2011 till date of which I am a part of this restaurant.
I want to relocate to Australia under the skilled visa as a Restaurant Manager and I will need Vetassess to do the assessment.
My question is this, how can i get a positive assessment with no educational qualifications as a restaurant manager but with over 10 years of work experience?

Thank you

You need at least a diploma and a good reference letter detailing solid job descriptions of a cafe/restaurant manager to get a positive assessment.

Do you have payslips, pension, tax and bank statement showing salary payments for those 10 years?

teazer:
@Bodacious1
Thanks for your response.
1. Is the acs assessment compulsory for my spouse and i?
2. Do we need to get all previous employment pay slips??
3. Can we use a downloaded PDF Pension statement of account from the pension company's mobile app
4. For employment certificate, can we use offer letter??
5. Do we also need bank statement for all past employments??

Apologies for the long questions...

1. Assesment is not compulsory for both of you but if it will boost your point to nomination, go for it. Remember, both occupations must be on the same occupation list in order to claim partner points.
2. Yes
3. Yes
4. Yes, in addition, pay slips, bank statement showing salary payments, pension and tax statements
5. Yes

Flames000:
Hello Guys, Kudos to all Contributors. On this thread, congratulations to those who have benefitted from this thread and Goodluck to those anticipating.

I want to make an enquiry.

I Studied Architecture, and have experience as an Architect ever since graduation. Now I have applied for Masters in Architecture in Western Sydney University and have been granted a conditional offer. But before I fulfill these conditions, I want to know if getting a PR with This Architecture program is feasible.
What are my chances?

NB; I have a masters degree in Architecture from Nigeria already, but I didn’t declare for obvious reasons.

Why are you running student visa application and not skilled migration?
You get plenty money sha

RealPontif:
Okay!

"Tax certificate is a government issued document, no excuse will be tenable"
But for this statement, do you mean for personal business or for a paid employment?

Thank you.

Both except there is an exemption and it’s usually for a period

RealPontif:
@Tunlex01

Sometime in the past, you mention including a proof to backup of your claim. For instance, a link.

Can these links be directly added inside the Status Declaration document itself or should there be another written stuff where the links/explanations/proofs can be written?

Then one can attach it along with the Status Declaration?


Thanks

That was for Nysc where tax is not required. For main employments, organisations are required to pay tax except your company is exempted which means there is an exemption certificate issued to such company

RealPontif:
Okay!

But I thought "going to tax authority to pay the previous taxes" is for personal business.

That if your former employer can't provide you with a tax and pension proof, then that's when you make a Status Declaration.

Is that not so?

No. Get your previous/current companies to pay the tax or pay it yourself.

RealPontif:
Okay! Thanks brother.
Have you ever done a Status Declaration yourself? How did it go?


Please @All experienced comrades and @Everyone

Please who has done Status Declaration before (especially for inability to provide pension and tax documents)?

1. How did you do it?

2. Do you or can you type it out and then take it to court to sign and stamp or how?

3. Is it the same procedure for doing something like (Affidavit of Change of Name)?

Thanks all.

Yes, at the court. They gave me a sample and I edited it to suit my needs.
I haven’t seen anyone do stat declaration for tax or pension. They have gone to the tax authority to pay the previous taxes.

3. It’s the same process as long as you have valid reason and evidence to back up your claim. That’s all

Prisval10:
@ tunlex @ belong, made a similar mistake but mine wasn't deliberate. In my eoi I mistakenly answered yes when asked about Australian Qualification requirement, thinking they asked if my qualification is recognized by Australia for immigration purpose. I became worried when my total point increased by 5 points, since then I was unable to access my immi account to know the breakdown. Shortly I was invited by Western Australia through general scheme schedule 1(overseas). I almost fainted on Sunday when I succeeded in accessing my account for the first time to discover the 5 points was allocated to Australian Qualification requirement.
I was invited for nomination on November and the invitation point was 65, after deduction of the 5 points, my point is still above the cut off.
I have written to them(WA) to explain my predicament.

My questions are as follows.
1. For nominating me as an overseas candidate not minding my error, does it mean they recognized it as mistake since nowhere in eoi stated I schooled in Australia?
2. For informing them immediately before the outcome of the nomination application. Will it solve the problem.

NB: I have already updated my eoi and my point is still above the Nov. Cut off.

If you got your EOI updated before you got the nomination, that’s fine. You can go ahead. Also yours was unintentional but his was very intentional cos the system request for reference number, date and scores which means he deliberately put in wrong details

RealPontif:
Also, in this Statutory Declaration template, there is

"Declarant Name" and "Your Name"

What is the difference between the two? What/who is the "Declarant name" and who/what is the "Your name"?

Thanks

you may have to ask them at the court or if there is anyone who can help here.

AdisaOwala:
The invitation was from NSW - 190 provincial nomination

First, you have provided wrong information on your EOI. So your ITA is invalid. If you proceed, your application will be refused.
This is because you have provided incorrect infromation on the English result to claim the 5 points.

Also note that you will not be getting another invitation from NSW within the next 12 months.
Good luck to you

RealPontif:
Okay! Thanks.

1. First, there is a genuine reason for the inability to provide the pension and tax documents. So, my question is, can you make one Statutory Declaration document stating proofs and why you're unable to provide the tax and pension informations, (inside one Statutory Declaration document)? i.e one Stat. Decla. document for both tax and pension.

Do you get?

2. Second, if the payments were made by hand (cash), can you still make a payslip for it?

Thanks.

Yes, you can use one stat declaration for both
yes, cash payment is not an exemption for payslip, pension or tax statement.

AdisaOwala:
Hi guys.

Recieved an ITA from NSW.

Issue is that in my EOI, I stated that my wife has the required IELTS result. However, her result is not yet out.

I have every other required document aside this.

What do you advise?

Should I still forge ahead with the application, or wait and submit a new EOI when her result is out?

Make una help me reason the matter Biko

But why would you do this?
Is this 491 or 190?
and did you get a pre-invite or actual invitation from Skillselect?

RealPontif:
Good day great guy.

Please for this Statutory Declaration thing, does one have to get a statutory declaration for every single document that he's unable to get?

For example, for any single past employment of mine, I have in mind that I should provide
1. Payslip
2. Reference letter
3. Pension document
4. Tax certificate

Now, my question is; If I'm able to provide only
1. Payslip and
2. Reference letter

Should I provide 2 separate statutory declaration documents, for the other 2 documents that I'm unable to get? like;
3. one for Pension and
4. another one for Tax certificate

Or should I make only one statutory declaration to cover for both
3. Pension and
4. Tax certificate?

I wonder if my question is clear enough.

Thanks as always.

No, you don’t have to get stat declaration for all documents except your company has exemption from paying taxes or pension. Getting a payslip should not be an issue. If you don’t have it and you have bank statement, that should be good.
Stat declaration cannot cover pension or tax except you have genuine reasons why you are getting a stat declaration

olig:
Good day,

Please, I have a question:

For previous work in Nigeria (2015 to 2018) without tax or pension payment, is it possible to make the tax payment now (in arrears) in order to be able to obtain a tax clearance certificate for those periods?
Does anyone know if this is possible?

Thank you.

Yes you can. Speak to your revenue service or former finance team

Maurex:
Hello everyone. I'm new here. Please I want to enquire on 482 visa.
I am a baker and considering applying for visa sponsorship jobs as a baker. Please is there anyone with this same skill that has successfully used this route? If yes please can you put me through?is it a requirement to do a skills assessment and PTE before I begin applying for the jobs or the skills assessment and English test will be needed only when I want to transition from TSS to PR?

Please I would really appreciate guidance from those experienced in this journey. Thanks a lot

Do you have a qualification and experience as a baker. If you do, just keep applying.
An assessment may be beneficial cos it shows the employer you are eligible and DHA won’t refuse your application.,
English test is compulsory before you apply for 482.
