Migration to any country is not easy.

No truer words have been said.

ajayidebo:
You can apply for Pharmacy Technician. BTW, you do have a chance for 491. Before the lock down, Northern Territory was accepting nomination for 491. NSW is also accepting but with minimum of 5 years work experience under stream 2.

Quick questions:

1. What year did you attain your BSc (what University/number of years) and Msc?
2. Work experience is from what year?

Welldone bro. In his case, he does not need those questions. Pharmacy is always a 5 year course in Nigeria.

He would not need to submit his MSc to Vetassess cos that would not help his assessment since he's assessing for a level 3 occupation.

uche06:
Please between Canada And Australian PR which is easier to get and faster

it's different for everyone. There is no easier or faster process. What's easy for you maybe difficult for others and vice versa.

Choose the one you have a better chance at securing ITA and trust your guts.

ajayidebo:
That's good. Note that VETASSESS will count your years of experience from the date you complete your PhD. If your PhD is 2017, your work experience becomes 3 years.

This is not the case with her Phd. Because it's related and the minimum qualification is MSc which she has, she will be awarded full points for qualification and experience.

ajayidebo:
Your profile is good. The next step is to do assessment and in your case, write another English Test. What you have presently is 0 point. You should try PTE-A for 20points (i.e. >79 in all bands). Your visa options ranges from 189, 190 and 491. You have a lot of options depending on your overall points.

What's the course of study for your MSc and PhD? Also, what do you lecture?

I've attached VETASSESS information sheet on assessment as University Lecturer for your perusal. Please go through it thoroughly. What I can't advice is whether your should use your MSc so that you can gain more points in experience, or use your PhD for higher points in qualifications. @tunlex01 will assist you with any missing information necessary when he's chanced.


You should also check if your spouse occupation is available for assessment. The English test alone will give you extra 5 points. If he can do assessment for his occupation, you'll get 10 points in total.

You have done well bro. I have also responded.

mobiss:
Hi,

Is there a way I can access Aussie PR by going for an MSc program over there since my qualifications and work experience can't access subclass 190 and 189?

Possible, as long as you study a PR related course. Although there are no guarantees due to the increased number of students seeking PR.

Good morning,
Looked at this process sometimes last year looked cumbersome so I abandoned it. This lockdown brought me back to it and I need help

Age 35
Highest degree PhD from Obafemi Awolowo University
Course: Food Science
IELTS: LRSW - 8886
Work experience from MSc 6yrs PhD 4yrs. Qualify as a university lecturer

Spouse

I'm unsure of the next step. Checked the vetasses assessment don't know under what category I should apply

Please guide me through

You have a good point however you need to rewrite English.

Phd is 20 points, Experience will give you about 15 points as well.

You did not give details of your spouse's full educational profile and experience

uche06:
Please assist me if I can scale through
BLS library and information Science 2008
Banking experience 9yrs (7n first Bank and 2 in Fidelity)

Can I still make it

"Banking experience" is vague and not specific. You need to specify what you do in those banks

Edited

I just saw your response to @ajayidebo, relationship officer is not on the list. It's a bit related to "Marketing specialist but not the same.
@ajayidebo asked for your University but no response on that.

I'll advise you try Student visa option or any other country.

Good morning good people,


Is there chances for visa subclass 491 with the following information:

Age - 42 yrs

Qualification - Bsc pharmacy and Msc clinical pharmacy

Work Experience: over 8Yrs work experience as a pharmacist

Married ( 3 kids)


No IELTS yet, just about to start the whole journey

Can I apply as a Pharmacy technician as the job description align with what have been doing even though my offer letter state pharmacist.

Thanks in anticipation.

You can apply as a Pharmacy technician; aligning your roles to fit that of a technician and not a pharmacist. That offer letter may need to be tweaked cos Vetassess will not approve a pharmacist for a technician.

Do you have pension, salary bank statement, payslips and tx statement for all the years?

You also did not state your spouse's details.

mobiss:
Hello Good People,


Is there chances for visa subclass 190 with the following information:

Age - 36 yrs

Qualification - Mechanical Engr. (B.Tech)

Work Experience: 3Yrs work experience as a Logistics officer 2014 - 2017

Married ( 2 kids)


No IELTS yet, just about to start the whole journey

Thanks in anticipation.

you can assess as a Mechanical engineer. Just do the educational assessment without the RSEA since you dont have a related experience.
Possibility of getting 190 with zero experience is super low. If you can get 20 points in English language, then you can proceed with EA and lean towards 491 if it's available for nomination.

Goodies1:
Thank you so much for this response.
I'll assess as Recruitment consultant and work for higher IELTS.

Check the occupation list to determine which occupation you want to nominate. There are few occupations you can nominate with your experience and Masters degree ; just that the experience point is zero.

Post the occupation(s) you want to nominate. English test is compulsory for assessing bodies for all the social work occupations.

Hello friends, pls guys help me evaluate my profile for Australian PR visa subclass 190
Here are my details

1. B.A English Literature
2002-2006 4yrs course

2. School: Usmanu Danfodio University sokoto

3. No Masters

4. Work experience: Hotel Manager

8 yrs from 2006- 2014

5. No ielts yet

6. Single( divorced with a child 4 yrs old)

7. Age: 35yrs

I want to be sure before paying for ielt and vetasses assessment. Thank you very much

Hotel manager is a skill level 2 occupation so your degree should fly, however due to its non-relevance to the occupation, some years may be removed.

To assess as HM with Vetassess, you must be able to prove your managerial role over ALL affairs of the hotel and not just one section of the hotel. Ensure your job descriptions are closely aligned. Also note that Vetassess can only approve experience gotten in the last 10 years which means only experience from 2010 will count.
Start preparing for PTE and aim for 20 points. There are no guarantees in this journey, so the earlier you start the better.

Your estimated points should be
Age: 25
Edu: 10
Exp: 0
Eng: 20 (compulsory --due to loss of experience point)
Single: 10
total: 65

Ensure you have all divorce documents finalised and custody papers for your child before you apply for visa.

Also, 190 is very tough to get at the moment. The criteria may be less stringent in July but keep your options open for 491 too.

Hello people,

Please who has submitted EOI to Victoria under any ICT profession? I need some guidance. Thanks in advance.

Just put in your EOI, there is nothing else to do after than to wait for an invite. Victoria will invite when they deem necessary.

Pre-invite for Vic is peculiar to IT and few other occupations. Others can apply directly.

OmenaVI:
Good evening everyone!
Trust we're taking precautions and staying safe

A quick question please:

We applied for Visa 190 NSW since early November 2019.
We haven't heard ANYTHING from them, no CO contact; absolutely nothing. This is early April (about 5 months after) and we're wondering.

We suspected all processing was put on hold due to COVID-19 but noticed ITAs are still going out.

Any advice or suggestions please.

Thank you!

PS: Total Points - 85

Check the timeline for your visa. if it's still within the timeline, then you have nothing to worry about.

You will get the grant when the time comes

Certification: Senior Professional in Human Resources International from Human Resources Certification Institute - America

Please I have all the required documents for Vetassess assessment and my job is on the list ( HR Adviser or Recruitment Consultant

Don't bother to assess with Vetassess. You need a Bachelor's degree to assess for HR occupations and your 4 year degree from EKSU is not a Bachelor's degree AQF.

Keep your money and try other countries or means of migration

Hi tunlex01
Please I need your help.
ACS assessed me and shaved off most of my experience to less than a year.
Does this affect my work experience point in Skillselect?
and which state can I apply to for ICT Project Manager (without a job offer)?

I checked NT, Tas, QLD - Nothing
NSW isn't quite clear
VIC requires employment (Any good chances via INDEED?)

Experience not approved cannot be added on Skillselect.
For ICT project manager,
NSW 491 - minimum of 5 years approved experience
VIC 190 - minimum of 3 years approved experience with specialisation in other IT areas apart from web designer, Help desk operator or manager.

Prehciousness:
1. Its a five year course at unibadan
2. My sibling is now a citizen
3. I have 6 years experience as a QA and production supervisor in a food company

Great.
You didn't state the state your sibling is living in Australia; that helps to review how he/she can help you in this journey especially if she lives in the regional areas. With the information you provided, you should proceed with your assessment with Vetassess. Just make sure your job descriptions are rightly tailored to what Vetassess wants to see.

You lodge EOI when you have a positive assessment and English result ready.

Good evening guys,

Please I need direction on how to go about the Australian Permanent Resident Visa, the ACS payment and which one should I take first, IELTS is still pending... I wanted to start that of Canada when a friend advised me to try Australia as he did not want me to be stranded along the way due to the calculated points (age 36 plus, no Masters).
I read Chemical Engineering - first degree
Started work around 2010 a Customer Service Representative-9 months
IT Support- 11 months
Project Management- 1 year 4 months
IT Support- 7yrs plus (till date)
I am an ITIL, OCA and CCNA certified....
Preparing for my IELTS
I know from my work experience I should be eligible for (263212 ICT Support Engineer)-Skilled Nominated (subclass 190).
Planning to go with my family- (Wife has a diploma with close age)

Thanking you in anticipation,

OK4.

Your best bet is to go with ACS even though you are going to lose most of the years of experience due to non relevant degree.
You can't assess as ICT Customer support officer with TRA because you don't have an IT degree which is a prerequisite....it's just gonna be a waste of A$1,000.

Hi Gurus in the house,

I need advice. I have a B.Sc in Geophysics from Nigeria and soon to complete my M.Sc in Geoengineering from Finland. I have 0 work experience in this field and would like to know if it is possible to get a skilled work permit. Thanks in anticipation.

Geophysicist is assessed by Vetassess and this body requires at least 1 year verifiable experience before you can assess with them.

NB1912:
First you mentioned Civil Engineering Draftsperson as being less competitive. Yes it used to be less competitive, but not anymore. As PR got tougher, people started assessing for both Civil Engineering and Civil Engineering Draftsperson to boost their chances, hence it made it difficult for both occupation.

Yea VIC still sponsor offshore applicant for 190 but with a Civil Engineering occupation where there are so many applicants currently working in VIC and still waiting for sponsorship, hence his chances are very slim. VIC is notorious when it comes to rejection. Most sponsorships given to offshore applicants are mainly in health occupation or uncommon fields like Biotechnology etc. For occupations like Engineering and I.T, even if you receive a pre-invite from VIC, without a job offer, the chances of rejection is very high.

Yes I know NSW has two streams that's why I recommended NSW 491 as his best option if he is able to get maximum points in English. He is also able to go for 190 as a draftsperson but will require a very high point like 85 or 90 (based on recent trends).

You mentioned other states like TAS, ACT and NT.

TAS: He needs a job offer for both 190 and 491.

ACT: Have you ever had a look at the ACT Metrix to see how many points are awarded to those living or working in the state? Why do you think people are moving to ACT from other states? Invites are awarded purely based on highest points in ACT matrix and if you are offshore your chances are very slim.

NT: This is one of the hardest state to secure sponsorship if you are not currently living or working in the state. They only sponsor offshore applicants for 491. He will need to provide good employability statement with advert of his job and evidence of responses from recruiters regarding his employability prospect in the state. Have you searched on job adds like [b]SEEK [/b]for civil engineering jobs in NT? You might get like 3 to 4 job adds in a month, so how will he prove his employability prospect in the state?

My analysis are based on reality and what's happening in recent times. It's best to conduct a proper research before proceeding with anything. Cheers!

I understand your analysis and not disputing it, however it's still worth trying as people are still getting invites even in these states you mentioned from Nigeria. For example, I know someone who just got ACT invite as a Production Engineer this morning with 65 points on the matrix even without visiting ACT (he only had to wait for few months to get it).
I never said CED is not competitive rather, it's less competitive than CE at the moment cos not every CE is obviously aware of the CED assessment.
TAS does not give 190 to offshore but CE is still available on TSOL 3A list with 5 years exp requirement and eligibility from EA which TAS had given clarification last year.
NT may be the hardest but interestingly, they are still nominating applicants offshore.
My advice was for him to attempt the skilled migration and keep his options open.

MissyGSam:
Hi Guys,

Is it compulsory that the spouse (not the primary applicant) writes the English Test, even when there is no intention to claim points?

Not compulsory but the secondary applicant must provide proof of functional English for the visa application using any of the following
1. A letter from your university stating that your course was done in English
2. IELTS - minimum of 4.5 in each of the band or PTE - minimum of 30 in each band

NB1912:
Mate, 190 has become as difficult as 189 in recent times especially for those applying from overseas. Most states now require applicants to either be working and residing in the state or have a job offer before you can get sponsored. The government is trying to force new migrants to regional area (491). Looking at his occupatuon civil engineering (Anzco 233211), he is only eligible for VIC for 190 and VIC hardly sponsor applicants without a job offer. So in a nutshell, you need to be living and working in Australia to have a chance.

As for 491 he might be eligible. As of now, the only states he can apply to are NSW, NT and ACT as other states require a job offer. Note that sponsorship for NSW is competitive as priority will be given to applicants already working in the state. NT hardly sponsor those living overseas unless you can show exceptional reasons how you would contribute to their economy. I my opinion, NSW will be his best bet, but as there are lots of civil engineers already working in the state and unable to secure 190 invite, they will all rush to 491 which makes it even more competitive. To stand a chance, he needs a very high point and getting 8 each in all bands in either IELTS or PTE will be the deciding factor.

Valid points you have raised. At least, his occupations still have about 4-5 likelihood of nomination which most occupations don't even have at the moment.
VIC still sponsors 190 offshore, only its 491 that requires job offer.
NSW has two streams for 491 nomination (onshore and offshore) and the requirements are clearly spelt out.
If he has a superior English score, then he should have an edge and be able to apply to NSW, TAS, ACT and NT.
He can also go for Civil Engineering Draftsperson (CED) ---that occupation is less competitive than CE.

Insanity:
Hello house,

I am new in this Aussie forum and I wish to get some information before I start.
I am a Civil Engineer graduate with 6 years experience, I want to apply for Masters in any of the AL1 schools, i have checked the PR route but my points is 60, I didn't make the cutoff for 189. I graduated with 2.1 for my undergrad. and I will be writing my Pearson in a few weeks time because I have only IELTS general test at the moment which I think won't be accepted.

My questions are;
1. How much do I need in my account for the visa application?
2. Do I need Statement of account to apply to AL1 schools?
3. Can I use UKEAS for my application, as they are free? How good are they in the admission application? Any personal review from anyone that has used them before?
4. I have 14million in my account and I will be sponsoring myself, is this amount enough for the admission and visa application checks?
5. Any engineering masters program in the AL1 schools for November 2020 entry? I think I'm late for July admissions.

Please, help me out with any other information I don't have.

Thanks a lot for your assistance

With 6 years experience, you are better off applying for 190 or 491 than student visa. Also note that 189 is not the only skilled visa #myopinion

lasun01:
Hi expert in the house, i would like you hear your thought on the interpretation of this English as per Vetassess and the emphasis is on the word preceding- "The qualifications listed below are accepted on a case-by-case basis if preceding at least one year of highly relevant consulting work in that specific field of study".

My qualification happens to be within those qualification that would be accepted on a case by case basis. My query is that does the preceding means one year experience in related field prior to graduation because all Industrial Training that we have in universities within Nigeria is either 6 months or three months.

Thanks

Industrial training is never regarded as experience.

What's your qualification, university and occupation you want to nominate ?
