Wonderful job you are doing here.
Please kindly help look at this:

Is it compulsory to assess both bachelors degree and masters degree or I can assess only my masters degree on VETASSESS?

I have M.Sc in epidemiology and medical statistics from the University of Ibadan (2yrs).
Epidemiologist occupation falls under 224113(statistician) with a year working experience as an epidemiologist but my bachelors degree is in anatomy.
I am looking to assess only my masters degree in VETASSESS, please is this possible to get a positive outcome? Thanks.
@tunlex01, @bellong and others

Yes, you will need to send both transcripts

abham:
I appreciate, I just had my B.Sc in Nautical Science from The Regional Maritime University Accra Ghana and that is the only field of study related to me. Is there any one you can advice on?

None at this time

Hello I have a friend who is a Crane Operator and his plan is to migrate to Australia and work as a Crane Operator. Can someone with this skill qualify to apply for the resident/work permit? If yes please what are the requirements. Also which of the immigration program can he fit in? Thanks.

The link below is the thread for your enquiry.
https://www.nairaland.com/4478747/diy-guide-australian-permanent-resident

However, crane operator is not a relevant skill for now as it is not available on the occupation lists.
See image below for visa options for crane operator

abham:
I searched through and came up with this ANZSCO 231214: Ship's Officer

this occupation is only available for 494 and 187 employer sponsored visa.
If it's not available for 190, 189 or 491, I dont put mouth. Also, I haven't seen anyone assess with AMSA before.
Good luck bro

abham:
Hello, I have interest in applying for the Aussie PR but I just got my documents from school and yet to serve. My field of study “maritime” might really be essential at the moment but I once checked on the 494. Is there any other visa means or I should get some work experience in my field of study before planning for the PR, I await your response.

You will need at least one year experience if your occupation is on the list. What's your ANZSCO code?

Ojolfc:

Hello everyone. I'm currently working here in Nigeria and I'm also doing an online program to secure an MBA degree with a school in London. I've done a lot of research online and I realized that Australia pays better than London. I don't like Canada because of the cold. I'm yet to complete my MBA program but I want to migrate to Australia and continue the program. Please what's the best way to do this. What's the easiest way to get a work visa in Australia. I've been applying online via seek.com but I haven't gotten any positive response since I don't have a Visa �. I feel the whole IELTS thing is a long process and it's not even certain that I'll get It. Please I need advice. I work in the banking industry

The earlier you start preparing for the English test, the better for you.
Getting a job from Nigeria is super unrealistic except you have specific skills which are readily not available here; not even 'banking industry'

lisa2020:
Hello,

I have been reading through the thread for some time and still not sure how to go about the process.

My spouse and I with our 2 kids are planning to relocate, we thought of Canada initially but Canada is on the lips of everybody and hence might be highly competitive, hence Australia. We are also open to suggestions based on our unique situation. I am just lost on where and how to start and what are our chances?

For Vetassess, certifications does not really have bearings. Only Degrees are considered.

You can only nominate one occupation. For example, if you nominate a facilities manager, all other experiences are operations manager will not be considered.

Good day All,

I tend trying Australia PR. I’m having a paper left in my professional qualification(ICAN)

Course :Accounting (2016)
Current Role : Internal Control -less than a year
Previous Role: Accountant -2yrs
Age :26
IETLS-Nil
Anzocode : 221213 (MLTSSL)
Assessing body -CPA,IPA,CAANZ

Have tried accessing my skills points (65-70)

My fiancé
HND -Business Admin (part time )
Current occupation : Restaurant Manager

Which of the visa class would be suitable?

Any hope for me

Internal control/Accountant is not the same with External auditor.
Also, Accountant, External auditors or similar roles are not hot cake for offshore nomination due to increased number of applicants onshore.

Your spouse can assess as a restaurant manager if he/she has enough experience.

I have issues with canada because of the band 8 in IELTS required for me to even reach 471 points and its most likely going to go up with the way people want to write the exam now.

PGD is not a PhD its barely a full masters. its just the same point with a professional masters like MBA not even a academic degree

But i also have google digital skills certificate , hubspot email marketing certificate
i even have SAP Materials Management certification that i havent used....no mind me i just gather certificate anyhow

Pgd is just a Graduate Diploma for Australia migration.
If you have plans to leave country, you will be better off getting the IELTS band and facing Canada squarely

mobiss:
Hi All,

Please I need assistance on how to go about the TRA migration process. I have a B.Tech in Mechanical Engr. with 3 yrs work experience in logistics and supply chain, presently I am 36 and running my own business now. I would have love to get accessed by EA but my first-degree qualification doesn't align with my little year's of work experience. So, I thought of going in through TRA.


Likewise, I'm yet to do my English test but from the points calculation, the max I could get will be around 70 points.

PS: I'm married with 2 kids.

Is TRA possible for me?

TRA is number one crusader of occupation aligning with qualification.
Which occupation do you plan to nominate?

Ayooze:
Guys I need serious advice

I have b.tech applied geophysics and PGD entrepreneurship development which I finished January my result isn't out yet due to what's happening in nigeria

I have been working as a digital marketer for 3 years now(2017) although it's my own e-commerce startup
Now the issue is I wasn't operating properly so I was just paying myself salary anyhow I wanted. No payslip

I recently got a job in another organisation for digital marketing executive although I'm performing managerial role. I'm starting their whole online presence

But you know naija low pay so they don't want to give manager tag so you don't ask for money.

I plan to apply for this PR program next year after I write my IELTS which I'm certain I'll get at least band 7 which puts me at 70points already (I'm single 26years)

I'm positioning myself as a marketing specialist
225113 MARKETING SPECIALIST

Now the issue is my degree not matching my work experience

What do I do?

My PGD is like a professional MBA does it qualify me ?

Also can anyone give a rough amount of money needed to compete this process

Please I need urgent response, I'm trying to plan my life ahead and quick

BTech in Geophysics is far away from Marketing.
Also Pgd is not a Master's. It won't fly.
Your best bet is Canada

Ikjosh04:
Hi Tunlex01, thank you for all you do.

Please the bolded caught my attention, I am/will be studying Msc Engineering Management in Aussie as soon as the boarder opens up and the bolded caught my attention.

Please hope I'll be able to assess for my PR as an Engineering manager without facing the 6yrs experience ish?

I am a fresh graduate and I barely have working experience here in Nigeria.

The bolded was specifically referring to IML's (formerly known as AIM) assessment process.
Studying Engineering management does not make you an Engineering manager especially with IML. Perhaps EA may accept a fresh graduate.
Have you read through the tasks of an Engineering manager?
This is a general description of the occupation
Plan, organise, direct, control and coordinate the engineering and technical operations of organisations.

Hi guys,

So I'm looking to start the Aussie immigration process and I would like some guidance, tips, pointers especially about getting regional or state sponsorship. I've read up a few things here but the thread is already over 200 pages long.
Pls is there any whatsapp group for starters like me that would be helpful?
Thanks

You can ask specific questions here. We are all learners and there are no wrong questions

GoldPanther:
Hello Bosses in the house, please I just got my English results and thankfully I passed, I wanted to ask if the Aussie migration route is still feasible? I will like to apply for 491 as a Civil Engineering draftperson, I have 5 years verifiable experience.
I spoke with an aunt in NZ last sunday and she sounded so discouraging that Aussie is at the moment not processing any long stay Visa till maybe 2022, I don't know how true it is so I bought it to the house as a lot of people here are already in the system.

Please at the moment is processing an Aussie 491/190 visa a waste of time? Or its safe to forge ahead? Thank you.

CC: @bellong, @tunlex01, @bligs, @anybody else wey sabi!

I won't say your aunt is not giving accurate information but Aussie is still processing migration even though it's at a slow pace due to the Covid19 pandemic but in this week, there has been surge in visa grants.

Congratulations on your English result. I hope it's 20 points

Zachxolan:
Hello all, thanks to everyone helping with this thread esp tunlex01 and bellong

I am thinking of giving this Aussie PR a try and I have gone through the thread religiously and was able to understand some bits.

Here is my info, pls kindly help out;

Age- 31
Degree- B.Eng Mechanincal Engineering (2011)
Uni- Federal University of Agriculture Abeokuta
Work Experience- General manager e-commerce startup (2014 to 2016)
I currently work as a senior sales executive for an ICT firm presently(2017-till date)
Status-Married
IELTS- Yet to write

Spouse;
Age-24
Degree- HND Animal Production(2019)
Schl- Laspotech
IELTs- Yet to write
Wrk Exprnce- She is just about to conclude NYSC

I have gone through the site and the only job that relates to what am doing right now is Sales and Marketing Manager on STSOL. Can I still go ahead and give it a try considering my degree is different from my experience?

To assess for that occupation, you need to be a senior manager reporting directly to the MD.
Assessing as a manager here requires at least over 6 years experience at the managerial level

castrokins:
Hello All,

I would like your opinion on my situation.

I hold a degree that's not closely related to the job I do. I'd like to assess for environmental manager with my BSc Environmental Protection and Resource Management but I have been working as computer operator in a federal University.

Kindly advise

Computer operator cannot fly as such occupation is not on the list and also you don't have the right qualification

Experience4u:
Please if you have not been attended to by Tunlex01,,, do have patience as he is finding it difficult to post on the platform. Once this is resolved, he will definitely get back to us all.

Thanks

Thanks bro. It's been resolved now

Audio3:
Thank you so much for the reply.

Just to be clear when you say i will have a better chance do u mean i will have leave my hubby behind and secure mine first? I really dont want to go to a foreign land alone.

Here is my occupation from STSOL list : 251312 - Occupational Health and Safety Adviser and
132311 - Human Resource Manager.
Assessing Authority for both - VETASSESS.

Thank you.

No, I meant you have a better chance of getting a positive assessment and being the PA than your spouse.
Now you have two options, did your spouse also check for his occupation?
Human resource manager is not assessed by Vetassess, it's IML. You can check again.
With HRM, you must be a full manager reporting to the Managing director.
Have you checked other HR roles? 223111, 223112, 223113

For 251312, visit Vetassess website to read the fact sheet for the occupation if it's applicable and read thru their assessment process. It's simple and straightforward.
If you have any query, you can always ask here.

Moksylov:
Just reading this thread and I must say you all are doing the lord’s work please see below my details. I look forward to your prompt responses thank you

Age 32
English test result 8 8 7.5, 7
Educational qualifications with dates awarded Bsc(LASU) Computer Science(2012), MBA Business School of Netherlands (2020)
Job title(s) Digital Marketing analyst
Years of experience 8

My wife’s
Age 26
English test result 8, 9, 7.5, 7
Educational qualifications with dates awarded Bsc Babcock University (Accounting) (2014), ICAN
Job title(s) Big four external auditor
Years of experience 3

All marketing occupations are level 1 which means your degree from Lasu cannot assess them. Now that you have an MBA, all your 8 years experience will not be approved so you are gonna lose experience point.
In addition, Vetassess requires at least 1 year experience for assessment which you do not have as your recent degree is 2020.

Your spouse is also in an occupation not being nominated for candidates offshore.
My advice, check the occupation list to see if there is any occupation you can nominate.

If your spouse can also get an internal redeployment or keep applying to big fours in Australia, she may be lucky.

zeb04:
Hello guys, i checked the Requirements for IVF embryologist and found out that i have to write an exam to qualify me to practice as an embryologist in Australia.( although i have a bsc in Biochemistry, i am a trained embryologist)

You are only exempted if you

1) have a Masters degree in Embryology

2) have a working experience of more than 2years.


However, i sent a mail, informing them that i just srarted my masters program and i have a 5years working experience and i am alao accredited by American Society of Reproductive medicine, having written the board exams, i hope this exempts me from writing the exams.

Pls is there any other way, i am not a hair dresser or bricklayer or stuff, because i know you guys don’t have to write exams.

I really cannot pay for Assessment fee, and also pay to write exams and flight fee ( to South Africa)and all that. @ bellong

Since you have sent them an email, wait for their response. I'm positive they will give you a response.

osv4real:
Good day everyone. Can one still apply for a visa? i thought everything was placed on hold due to the covid-19 pandemic?

Australia has over 66 visa subclass and to be clear, visa application is not on hold. Granting of visa especially for offshore is however slow but not stopped.

engrola00001:
Hallo,

Please I need a candid advise, I am planning to apply to Australia PR next year.

Here's my bio:
Age: 33
Ielts: not done
Single
Bsc: (Civil Engineering 2015 at University of Ilorin)
I am currently running my master program in Germany.
I came to Germany in 2019.

I cannot really proof my work experience because no official documents to proof, I worked mostly on short term contract and private projects after my nysc 2016 to 2019. before I left Nigeria.

The question is
1. How do I go about verifying my degree Certificate and Work experience to get a positive outcome?
2. What are my chances?

First, without work experience documentation, it will be difficult cos you need as many points as possible due to your age.
If you are able to get employment contracts, payslips, or bank statement for salary received during those periods, you may assess with Vetassess.
Otherwise, you can assess your degree only as a Civil Engineering graduate with EA.
You will only get point for educational qualification and no work experience point.

Visit Engineers Australia website and read about their requirements for Assessment.

Hi guys,

Kindly help me cause I am confused on how to go about this PR thing.

Here's my bio:
Age: 29
Ielts: not done
Single
Bsc almost done at open university of Nigeria
A video producer with 8 years experience, have 5 years salary statement and tax


Do I stand a chance?

I will say you don't stand a chance.
First, you don't have a degree yet.
Second, your degree will be evaluated as an Associate degree and as such won't be able to assess for Video producer which requires a Bachelor's degree from any Tier 1 universities.

First, you can only assess for 1 occupation at a time. So if you have two different roles, you can't claim them together. You will also need to dedicate some time in going through this thread especially the first few pages to understand more.

Main applicant is my wife.

The only occupation on the list that suits this is conference and event management.
Which requires AQF- associate degree.
Nomination state: NORTHERN TERRITORY
My question is does Northern Territory nominates candidate as such?
Pls I need to make decision before I proceed with skill assessments.
Thanks @bellong and my other ogas

State nominations are currently suspended including NT.
NT nominates people however it has a longer processing time from 6-8 months.
The choice is yours if you want to wait for state nomination list before assessing or you want to get everything ready and be prepared for nomination as soon as the states release their list.
