Good day all, please, as for the 'Skills Assessment', must that be done in Australia? I'm getting error messages about it.

I will appreciate a response please.

Chinzzyy:
Hello everyone. Please i would like to know if i would get a positive assessment. I am 32, will be 33 in october, i studied chemistry education for both b.ed and m.ed from uni of abuja and uni of lagos respectively. My only work experience is as a primary school teacher. And i checked, primary school teaching is not on the list of skills except nominated by a state. Now the next best option for me is early childhood teacher, but the documents needed for the skills assessment emphasises that my education should emphasize the age of children i was trained for. Both of my degrees do not indicate which age of children i was trained for. How do i solve this issue please.
My other concern is that my degrees seems as if i was trained for seconday school teaching. But i don't have experience in this atall

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

Thanks once again @tunlex, what are one's chances of a getting a visa without tax clearance, pension statement... is it compulsory or optional


Sorry for the disturbance but I'm a bit worried hence the questions

henrymorebaba:
Good day house, good to be here, please guys I'm new here and I need advise and guidelines on how to go about my applications. Thanks you.
@tunlex01

EngrCGD:
Dear tunlex01

Thanks once again for your swift responds.
It is gradually becoming clearer and clearer to me now.

I would like to know, since you mentioned that 4 year degree in Ansu is regarded as an associate degree. What will be in my case since I graduated in same school and did only 4 years , mechanical engineering is 5 years course but because I already had 2 years Ordinary diploma in same MECH engineering, i started from 200L on a direct entry level , so does it mean in my case my B.Eng will be regarded as an associate degree ?

Also does the OND certificate contributes positively to this process ?

Before now, I have the intention to further my studies, is a masters degree relevant in this pursuit ?

A friend in Australia is strongly advising I use the 186 employer nomination scheme. But I need your expert advice and the one from the house here. On which best route or path to follow. Is my utmost heart desire to practice in Australia as an engineer.

As regards to Writing the CDR and the career episode, I’m already sensing these will pose as a serious challenge for me, please is there a way I can go about it.

Finally I still crave for your indulgence to have a one on one conversation through email or even phone conversation if possible. I do like to disclose a very confidential and important information about my immigration history and I will need your expert advice. Please �
Can I start by writing you an email ?

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

EngrCGD:
Thanks for your reply @tunlex01

My wife graduated from Anambra state university. Same as me.

Please note: We have a farm, which my wife and I manages as a side business, it’s registered as a business name in 2020 with my wife and I as proprietors note we have the registration documents and bank account under the farms name, it’s not registered as a limited liability company, we primarily deals on egg production, broilers, we just started the pig rearing of late.

I could see the mixed livestock farmer in the ROL ( Regional Occupation List ) .

There is also the Poultry farmer under STSOL

Engineering manager - MLTSSL

Mechanical engineer - MLTSSL

Biochemist - MLTSSL

Medical laboratory scientist - MLTSSL

Fitters - Welder -MLTSSL

Mechanical engineering technician- STSOL

Mechanical engineering draftsperson - ROL

All the above occupation applied to both my wife and myself. Including the poultry farm as our side business.

Honestly I’m confused.

I know we were advised to ask questions and share all information here on this platform so others can learn. But Please there is something very very confidential I must share with you privately first, if you allow me I will share it here afterwards, we don’t know who might be viewing this thread at any point in time.
please I kindly crave your indulgence to write you personally via email after that we can proceed from here.

Thanks �

Waiting for your reply.

soulamanne:
@tunlex01...I greet you the Aussie oracle

Please I would like to seek a clarification .I have gone through WA guidelines for 22-23 year and seen some videos too. There seems to be a caveat that says for offshore applicants to stand a chance of being nominated, they need to have a job/contract for at least 12 months.

Now I do not know if I am the one that is not getting the context well as this is also a requirement for onshore applicants(who are of more priority) or same applies to offshore too.

And if so, how do you think that will work ?I mean like I have to look for a job say on seek.com.au and let the employer know I am applying for a 491.something like that...please help shed light on this if truly the requirement means an offshore applicant must have a job first


Thanks for all you do and may God ease your own affairs too.

iamkingrobert:
Good day guys, please I need your help to some questions. Does The Australian embassy in Nigeria issue visa to Nigerians or do Nigerians need to travel to Kenya to apply for the visa?

Secondly, my widowed sister whom was married to an Australian wants move to Australia as she has a son whom we have successfully procured his Australian passport, now she wants to take the kid to Australia, so please I’ll like to know where to proceed. By the way we don’t live in Nigeria so that’s why am asking if the embassy does issue visa from Nigeria. Thank you for your response.

FreshBoss007:
Good day house, after state nomination, what are the documents needed prior to visa been granted

Thanks

Saynoomore:
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.

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

donpaulo44:
Please I want to ask a question concerning my application and that of my wife. I’ve applied for 489 since 2019 without getting a reply since then. My fiancé was in Australia since 2018 and only came back two months ago and we married. However, there was an instruction not to get married while I was applying for my 489 visa but I can’t keep waiting as time has been wasted already and we can’t continue waiting. An organization has agreed to sponsor my wife’s 482 visa so I want to ask if she can add me to the visa application as partner even though I didn’t mention her name while o was applying mine. Will it work? Or will it have any negative effect on my already existing application?? Will DHA get mad at me for marrying while I’m told not to? Please help

Saynoomore:
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

Saynoomore:
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.

Saynoomore:
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?
