Your Unilag degree will give 15 point however you can't have 6 years experience when your BSc is 2018. Vetassess only considers post qualification experience.
Your English result too is good if you have 7 in EACH band.
Visit www.vetassess.com.au to review the requirements to assess as an Economist if you are sure your job role fits that of an economist.

For Vetassess assessment, you will need a reference letter which must detail your job descriptions. This is the major document that determines a positive assessmrnt with Vetassess and ensure your job descriptions fit. You can check on on Australia's job websites such as seek.com.au or au.indeed.com to review job roles of an Economist.

Good luck.

You can always ask your questions here.

yungmin:
Oh wow! Thanks. But what kind of qualification is needed to assess as a welder? Because he's been working professionally as a welder and have documents to proof

trade test certificates
degree in Metallurgical or mechanical engineering too.

Also, not to dismiss the IWA, you can send an email to TRA to ask if it can be assessed. Does the IWA have syllabus and transcript?

yungmin:
Thanks for responding. I have a friend who has a degree in computer science but he has been into industrial welding (oil and gas) for a long time. He has international certification like the IWA. We were former colleagues and he's gone on to work in other firms as well. I just want to assist him with this process as he seems under utilized here.

Yes, he has payslips and other documents to prove employment

He cannot use computer science degree to assess as a Welder. He needs a qualification. IWA is just a certification not a qualification.

emandman:
Please how help me out. I have a bsc in banking and finance and have 6 years experience as a teller. But from all I see on the 189 and 190 visa class the closest job to that which I am doing is financial manager which to say the truth the job description is way different from a teller's job. What is my chance please.

Sadly, teller job is not related to a finance manager. There is no occupation on the list related to a teller role.
Try student route to Australia or any other country.

Damian457:
Is there any way to check the cut off for my occupation?

Some points are published for 189.
Iscah.com posts some.
For 190 and 491, that's not available cos state nomination is on hold.

Damian457:
What’s the current cutoff point?

65 is the base minimum point, however your cut off is determined by your occupation requirements and English result. While an applicant with 65 (e.g. Welder) will get ITA, another applicant with 90 points (accountant or engineer) may not get ITA.

JBoy9:
Thanks boss

Worked as Marketing, Loans and Credit Officer in the banks.

Wife has not really worked in any formal setting. She's into business (children items and apparels)

Graduated from UNAD and wife from UNILORIN

For anything banking related,those roles won't fly.
You mentioned that you have an Oil and gas company. Check the occupation list to see the occupations you can nominate.
Read some of my previous post here,there is a guide to check your possible occupation on the 3 lists

JBoy9:

Pls help me o. Someone suggested we go through the route of my wife applying for study (Nursing) visa

Hello,

For us to help further, you may need to be specific. Banking is more of an industry than an occupation..what was your specific role in those banks?
Also you did not state the awarding universities for yourself and spouse as well as your spouse's experience

Your advice is needed to proceed pls...

Visit TRA website to get the assessment process for your occupation. Either of the two occupations will fit in. Your employment documents needs to align to any of the occupations you select.
You have a good profile already
Age 25
Exp 10
Edu 15
Eng 10
Spouse: 5
Total: 65
65 without state nomination points is still good.

You can also still make that 20 points in English; you are very close
Do you have payslips for the entire years?
Do you have pension or tax statement?

You only stated your spouse's years of experience and not the experience.

Olakunlemi080:
Good day everyone am Olakunle have been following this trend I have degree in education and history and international general certificate in occupational health and safety (Nabosh) ,am 31yr, single,working in Dubai as assistant safety officer. Am planning to relocate to Australia.
Please which categoy did I fall in and wat is my chances of been nominated


I we appreciate if anyone can enlighten me

Even though you don't have the required qualification, which university awarded your degree?

DEINDIK:
Thank you for responding.
I have a Master of Business Administration in Oil and Gas Management and I’ve done a bit of consulting in this area. I’m just curious as to why MC has a high occupation ceiling each year yet less than 10 percent ITA is issued. Could it be that Vetassess is tough with their scrutiny or we don’t have a lot of Management Consultants interested in applying? In any case I’ll give it a shot soon.

Okay. Your year of graduation will also determine the number of years that will be approved by Vetassess.
Occupation ceiling also applies to 189 only which has been scarce. Most may have gone for 190 or 489 or the new 491.
Also Vetassess is fussy when it comes to job descriptions.
Good luck

DEINDIK:
Hi Bellong. Must commend the awesome work you have been doing here.

Has anyone here done assessment with Vetassess as a Management Consultant? I’m currently putting paperwork together for assessment but would love to chat with someone who has done this before. I have been following the chats but can’t find any info on Management Consultants. Would be glad to share ideas with anyone, please.

I have not seen any except for few Indians. If you have put together your documents with a convincing reference letter showing job descriptions of a MC, then you should be fine.
What's your educational qualifications?

FreshBoss007:
By freelance, I worked with other persons within that time frame but if self employment would increase my chances, then better

Asking for a remark seems dicey, cause it could reduce my scores since I assume they would be more strict but I'm 29 years at the moment, so I assume age would supplement that deficit

Like @toayojj advised, go for a remark if your result is still recent. Score do not reduce, it's either it increases or remain unchanged. Reduction will mean IELTS did a shoddy job in the first place which they won't make mistake to admit.

Your best option is assessing as Architectural draftsperson.
If you are able to claim self employed for those 5 years, then good on you mate.

frankmoney:
Bsc. Architecture
Years of experience : 1
Worked as a draftperson for a registered architect , although I only received salary in cash

Can anyone tell me my chances ?

you will need payslips and other employment documents to confirm the authenticity of your job. You should start requesting for bank payment.

Also, visit Vetassess.com.au and search for architectural draftsperson and read about the assessment requirements.

fados4sure:
First time travelling to another country will attract a return ticket. How is now to Dubai? Check skyscanner. The current ticket fare from Lagos to Sydney is $2600

Return ticket does not apply to all type of visa even if it's the first time.

Etinosa1234:
When u are converting.. take regard the country conversion rate of the country

U used the conversion rate of USA to judge for the remaining countries
A naira to Aussie dollar is 250 naira. That’s more than enough for processing Aussie visa

And a naira to Canadian dollar is 270, and 320 black market

That can go a long way in processing the visa

Check well AUD is not 250 anymore. It's about 290-310 now

inagbe1:
Good evening all. My question goes to Pharmacists who migrated as Pharmacy Technicians. How did you go about getting positive evaluation from VETASSES. I want to know what it takes before delving into it.

The most important document for Vetassess is your reference letter which must capture your role as a technician and not a Pharmacist. Any job responsibility with indication of a pharmacist role and not a technician's may result in a negative assessment.

Zzyco:
Please, I am currently a medical laboratory student. How can I migrate to Australia immediately after NYSC, I learnt 5 years experience or so is a creteria to work as a Laboratory scientist. Please information on this will go a long way to help me.
Medical scientists working in australia can put me through. Thanks!

you should post your enquiry on the Australian Skilled migration thread for a faster response.

iammiracle1:
I think Draftsperson is easier and has more pathway opportunities but, you should listen to more experienced ppl

Cc bellong, tunlex01

My thoughts too, especially with the stringent requirements from the states in the last financial year.
EA - faster result, requires at least 1 third party document for all the years, less state nominating occupation
TRA - application outcome takes longer than EA, payslip + (at least bank statement, pension or tax for all the years), higher chance of getting a nomination with less stringent requirements/points than professional engineer

@Goldpanther, check the one that relates more to your occupation and go for it.

iammiracle1:
Hello guys, a friend of mine who is a Civil Engr (BEng) graduate works in his dads metal fabrication company, please what profession can he nominate? Can he nominate Fitter (general)?

Check the occupation list to see the occupation you can nominate.
Visit www.anzscosearch.com
On the top middle page click "Lists" (on a laptop/computer) or click the Hamburger sign (3 horizontal lines) to select "Lists" if you are using a mobile device
Go through the 3 lists MLTSSL, STSOL and ROL
Click any of the occupations that best relate to what you do.
When you click the occupation, scroll down to 'Anzsco code' and scroll to 'Tasks'
Check if the tasks relate to the occupation you have selected.
Revert here with occupation(s) you deem relate to what you do and we will take it up from there

AustinT575:
How does skilled migration works?
Do someone have to apply via VFS global or it has a different process

It's a different process entirely. Check the thread for skilled migration.

Kendocity4u:
many thanks for your response, about the IT question, i don't have IT paid experience, but I've been teaching Computer Science in Sec schools around me.
does that help my cause??

I was hoping you had a paid IT experience which you could use for the Skilled Migration but since you don't have, you can stick to your studying plan.

Kendocity4u:
Good morning Everyone

I got info about this thread from a friend and i'm glad i did.

i am a prospective applicant and i'm not asking to be taken by hand but i really need pointers on how to embark on this journey and i hope to share my own success story at the end of it all. (i am currently going/reading through the thread from page 1)

I studied Computer Science in Nigeria and i wish to further my studies in Australia if God permits, although my CGPA is not sharp enough(its poor) to go straight to masters, i intend to go through Undergraduate program again if that's the only way.

I have some questions and i'll like the ancestors/gurus to chip as much as they can(i'm a fast learner)

1) Can i still go for Bsc again at my age? (i will be 29years in october)
2) Can my age hurt my chances of getting Visa?
3) Is IELTS compulsory and does it give an edge?(I have Academic IELTS and Band Score of 7.5 and it expires next year Feb)
4) which cost effective schools are most preferable for me(I'm on a budget)
5) can i do the application without an Agent?(it seems all schools work through an Agent)
6) how much am i looking at for both Tuition(First year at least) and other miscellaneous that might come up along the way(A rough estimate so i can know what i'm dealing with)
7) how is the application season like? Can i apply now? (Asking because of the prevailing conditions in the world right now and i have been going through the schools website for more info but still a lil confused regarding application season and deadline)

I'll be glad to get a response to all these pertinent questions and others that will come along the way.

Thanks Everyone

NB; i'm open to PM's too.

Do you have any IT paid experience?

Amahjosh:
I have check the SOL but I did not see data scientist or data analyst but my agent Goajo is telling me they data science fall under IT that there is no cause for alarm.

Why regional universities and can you mentioned top regional Universities

That occupation falls under IT. You may or may not get IT experience when you are done with your Masters but I'm 100 per cent sure ACS or TRA will require a qualification in IT and some years of experience in IT. Currently, IT occupations assesed by ACS are only available for nominations if you have a job offer. Other IT occupations assessed by TRA are less stringent but requires at least 3 years experience.

luvluvluv:
Hello house,

TRA positive assessment in the bag! Thanks for all ur help



Please is it possible to lodge EOI before spouse English test?

Congratulations.

funmbai:
Good day every one. Please I need an URGENT help. I have been working in a bank and I assessed with Vetassess as a Customer Service Manager last year. I got a negative outcome in June 2019 (12weeks after) saying my documents do not show a dedicated customer service management role and that tasks undertaken are not relevant to ANZSCO Tasks. It was added that my documents showed I was heavily involved in the day to day operation of a branch. I was greatly discouraged.
I am planning to reassess soon but unsure of the documents to add and how to repackage documents for a positive outcome. I have been in customer services and branch operations. My first degree is in Chemistry 2:1 but I have no masters. My employment in banking started in 2008. I was assessed from 2014 to 2019 by vetassess. I have an ielts academic score of 7.5
Please and please help urgently on the best step to take now. Waiting eagerly for your response

Sorry about your result. Unfortunately, except your designation has changed, it's still won't change anything. A CSM in a bank will not be working in branch operations at all but most likely be the head or team lead in the Customer Experience group at the head office.

Your other options
1. Get your spouse to assess and be the PA
2. Asses as a Financial institution branch manager if you are an Operations head or branch manager.
3. Try other countries.

DrCollins218:
Good morning Sir,

I submitted EOI for the global talent independent visa and just recently I was invited to apply for the visa. Please do you know anyone who has been invited in the past and what's your advice?
The visa application fees is Aus $4111
Thanks and God bless you.

Congratulations on your ITA. Yes, I know people who have gotten the GTI visa. Send a pm

luvluvluv:
My good people

Pls what r the states to suggest to prospective visa 491 holder to choose in his EOI? Almost all states nominated his occupation. Cost of living being utmost criteria.

cc @Bellong

Tick all the states cos you will survive in any of the states. You should go with the state that gives you nomination.

Kampack:
Sorry pls, I need clarification from anyone here,
In many of the Subclasses (e.g 491,190, 189, etc) I read this condition online "must not marry or enter into a de facto relationship before entering Australia" what exactly does this mean? When an applicant can claim points from a partner

What this means is that you if you got nomination/grant as a single person (after claiming 10 points), you cannot marry or enter into a defacto relationship until after you land in Australia. You can now come back to get married then apply for subsequent entrant (491) or partner (189/190) visa for your spouse.

dachoice:
Good afternoon great nairalanders.

I am interested in relocating to Australia.

My wife profile

She 32years old
Practicing accountant for over 10years
B.Sc Accounting and MBA
IELTS overall 7.5
ICAN certified

I am 36years
B.Sc Microbiology
M.Sc Vet Public Health
Security Officer for 4years and a laboratory Technologist for 2years
IELTS overall 7.0

Please advice me on the next step to take for a smooth sail in acquiring a perm residence in Australia.

Your wife can assess as an Accountant with either of the 3 bodies. The 3 bodies use IELTS Academic. Currently, accountant occupation is the most competitive and as such the nomination for offshore applicant without a job offer in Australia is very slim in the last 18 months.

You can be the PA while she adds 10 points to your point after getting a positive assessment from either of d accounting bodies cos your experience point will be zero due to the less-than-3 years experience you have.
check the occupation list for an occupation you can assess to fit your Laboratory technologist field.
