Congrats.

Just getting to know that one could select more than one visa type e.g 190 and 480 together?

Yes you can. You will just create different EOI for each.

Hello everyone, after months of packaging my documents for vetassess, I got a [b]negative outcome. I feel like giving you tho but then again, the fall of a man is not the end of his life. Please i need a way forward, what can i do?

Contact koleefem05 and tunlex01. They could be of help.

Will do that..

Mind you, you won't be using your sales experience for the "engineering technologist" you want to seek to be assessed as. Your CDR will be based on IT, final year projects etc.

Please anyone who has done tax clearance with FIRS Abuja, please help me

I neither know what you were given nor done tax clearance from FIRS Abuja before.

However, from the paper documents you were given check whether you can verify any of the details online at FIRS website https://tcc.firs.gov.ng/portal. Use the receipt number, TIN or the certificate number, whatever you can find on the document to do the verification.

If you can verify any of the details, just scan the paper document and include the link where you verify to your assessor. Inform him that you don't have e-tax certificate.

If you can't verify the details online, and you are sure the documents you were given is genuine, just scan it and send to your assessor and tell him you were not given any e-tax certificate. You can't give what you don't have.

I hope this solves your dilemma.

Hello house,any one who has been assessed by TRA(trade recognition Australia). I want to send my documents for assessment . I intend going for electrical engineering technician. Do you know if I can also be assessed for elenctrical engineering draftsperson.(most Australia regions needs draftsperson more than technician). My field:elect/elect HND, 12yrs experience

You can be assessed as anything provided you have your genuine documentation to prove you as one and you fulfil all the assessing body requirements.

Zany.

tomimy1:
Would mechanical and production Engineering degree be considered relevant to civil engineering draftperson experience?

Are you a civil engineering draftsperson? Do you have documents to prove you as one?

If yes, I think you will be better off assessing with EA rather than VETASSES. You can also send mail to EA for inquiry.

Zany.

Please house, what determines your IED, police and medical report expiry date or Australia immigration?

Police and medical report expiry date.

Bambizzle4k4556:


hey bro. i have got 70 points for electrical. is that ok?

I think you should be fine. You can also apply to different States for 190 visas. Check states nominating it.

Zany.

Bambizzle4k4556:
hello.

please can i apply for permanent residency with 70 points? am an electrical engineer

Yes you can. The minimum point required for EOI is 65 points. It's the competition and urge for faster ITA that make people aim for higher points. The higher your points the faster your ITA.

Zany.

flyca:
Dear Zanyzara, please is Electrical Engineering a pro rata occupation in Australia. Where (which website) are pro-rata occupations listed please. I am being assessed by EA.

Electrical Engineering is non pro rata.

Invitation process and cut offs show the pro rata occupations. Check here

[quote author=keleto post=72586468][/quote]

His age point would be reviewed when he turns exactly 40yrs. However, if he has received ITA before turning 40, his age point won't be reduced.

They use high point first and then date of effect.

I know it's fluctuates and that is why I asked. Just want to compare and be sure the spread is not so far off. 1-3naira per dollar is fare. If at black market it's 362, and gtb naira mastercard charges 364 I'm still OK. Than the buying of dollar and opening dom account brouhaha

Happy belated birthday.

ontarioissauga:

What does this actually mean?

Pro rata occupations are occupations for which there is a high demand and competition. And due to that high demand, the number of people invited per round in a pro rata occupation is limited to a certain number within the number of invites in a round.


ICT Business and System Analysts fall within this group.

You will be fine as this is a non pro rata occupation. You can also check for states that nominate it and apply for 190 as well.

vikmeek:


Exactly, I don't really have the patience right now.

The earlier one leaves the better, so my plan is to go on with the student visa and start the or process once I land in Aussie.

Thank you for analysis.

God take charge and help us

Rather than encouraging you to go for your masters, I was telling you that all listed above are what you may or may not face in this journey. We have people who have passed through these stages, use them as motivation and with determination you will easily surmount it.

Even after your masters you will still face the PR hurdle and the pressure on you might even be more then.

Weigh both options and the final decision is yours as nobody will tell you what to do.

Good evening all

Please help me understand this school tier issue and it's implication

I studied BSc Accounting from Uniben (tier 2 school I heard)
6 years work experience in same field
Can I go ahead with this PR journey?
Will my degree be assessed as equivalent of Australian bachelors?

Thanks

This school tier issue is just a way of rating schools as equivalent to Australian degrees.

A tier 1 school would be rated equivalent to Australian Bachelor degree which is 15 points while a tier 2 would most likely be rated as Associate degree which is 10 points. The duration of courses play a role too.

Accountants need 80points now to have a chance.

Calculate your points and decide.

Zany.

Alphadoor:


You have done your homework already.
Age is 30
Ed: 15
Exp: 5 or 0
Eng: 20 is the best



PURSUE YOUR PR NOW NOW

There are upcoming changes to the PR visa which may not be too pleasant.

You don't even need up to AUD10,000 to land the PR in a about 7 to 12 months based on the current processing time. Assesment inclusive.

As to whether you can pay your tuition fees as a student.
It's not impossible but you have to work through your nose, super prudent and sometimes defer some courses. When you are done with studies you still have to apply for same PR for continuity in OZ.

As a student, you have limited work hours right and running expense.

Visit the Australian student thread for better insights

@vikmeek

In addition, while pursuing PR is the wise choice but

Will you have the patience?

Will you give all to have 20 points in English to increase your chances?

Will you write a topnotch CDR to get your desired outcome as you may be assessed to be electrical engineer, electronics engineer, telecoms engineer or even engineering technologist depending on the quality of your CDR?

You could defer your admission as a plan B and start the PR process.

But if you think all of the above would be too much to handle, then go for your Masters and start your PR process afterwards.

Hi all,
I resigned from my job and left Nigeria in 2013. Now EA is asking for my tax records back in Nigeria (paper document and online screenshot). I contacted my employer (one-man company) and he agreed and has also sent to me the company's tax records for the years that I was employed there. Apparently, he has no individual staff tax record for the years I was employed there and he simply told me that the company's tax records covers for all staff.

Pls is this claim true? Will EA accept this paper document and add my Nigerian job experience to my assessment?

Please help.
zanyzara

To the best of my knowledge, company tax is different from individual tax.

Do your payslips show tax deductions?

If it shows the deductions, you should have individual tax record.

If it doesn't show show the deductions, that means you have not be paying tax.

I would suggest you go to the tax office in your state, let them calculate the tax, pay and be issued tax certificate.

Congratulations bro..

@Zany,

Welcome back..

Chief Bellong, (olori ebi worldwide)

Thank you for being there for us always.

Yes, to get 20 migration points, you have to score an 8 across all the four assessed skills.
For 10 points, you have to get a 7.
And no point if you sore below a 7 in any one of the four skills.

Please try to improve on your writing skills. Or maybe try another form of competency test. Cheers!

@sirgigs

In addition, if this result is still eligible for remark, please request for your writing.
