Hello guys. I want to ask about chances of getting work as a forklift driver in Australia. I currently school in Tokyo and I just enrolled in a forklift driving institute and will get the licence at the end.

There are plenty work for forklift drivers. It is usually a 2-3 days training in Australia to get the high risk work licence.

Goodmorning house,i will be leaving for Australia on Friday, please do I need to carry out any Covid test.

You don't need any COVID test to travel but it is advisable to come along with your covid vaccine certificate.

bukatyne:


Happy new years broda mi! 🥰

How are you & family?

Thought you have deactivated your account.

Na mi ooooooo!

No, I didn't. Took some time off ni.... will send you a pm.

bukatyne:


Na alignment remain.

If you condemn someone and the person managed to win by hook or crook, no bi to greet him 'well done, we see your hand'?

Until he loses the case in court (if he does), I think it would be wisdom to align, keep mute or condemn on a neutral ground.

Happy new years ooo. Na you be this...

SundayphilipNic:
Good afternoon Friends. my program starts in July. Please can i go and start work in Australia while waiting for my program resumption date. Please advice a brother. my school is James cook University, townsville.

If your visa has been approved, you can travel anytime from the initial entry date on your visa. Yes, you can start to work before school resumes.

Temmybuky:



Thanks for your response @bellong. I did Master of telecommunication engineering in Australia, and I have gotten a positive assessment with EA for Telecom Engineer through it. Also, I have already done an expression of interest in that skill in some states in Australia without claiming points for work experience because of some complexities involved from my employers in Nigeria. But I changed my career during COVID-19 and have been working as DevOps/Cloud Engineer for over a year. I want to rely on getting assessment from ACS and, if possible, get points for cloud/DevOps skills too. Firstly, I want to know the right ANZSCO role to apply for as a cloud/DevOps engineer is not specified explicitly on the list. Secondly, I want to know if I can do the Post Australian Study pathway as my degree is closely related to IT.

Thanks for always helping

@Alphadoor, can you please help out.

Temmybuky:



Thanks for your response @bellong. I want someone that has gone through this route for more advice. I would not mind if you can refer me to someone that can help or even if anybody on this platform can help. I need this urgently. Please help in any way you can.

Can you explain what you need advice about. It will make it easier for referral.

To begin with, what is your qualification? How many years of experience do you have in your proposed occupation and any previous experience in any occupation.

Bisunique25:
Please how can a spouse add points to the main applicant? I graduated as a lawyer years back in Nigeria, and I only practice for the NYSC one year program in Lagos ministry of justice in their citizens mediation centre where we do more of legal mediation as a means of settlement. Can the one year fly for credential assessment in order to boost hubby’s point? I have reading 7.5, listening 8.5, writing 7, speaking 7.5 in my ielts and I’m 32 years.

As previously advised up there, he can choose any civil engineering technician related occupation that aligns with his current skills. He can even assess as a bricklayer with his qualification if he has the experience.
He cannot meet the qualification requirement for skill level 1 occupations. Outside that, he has variety of options.


For you, you cannot give him points with skills assessment except in English test. This is because the assessment for legal profession is completely different just like medicine. You must first be called to the bar in any state in Australia before you get a positive assessment.

Temmybuky:



Thank you so much @bellong, @tunlex01 and other experts in this forum, for always helping. Please, I will appreciate guidance from anyone that has gone through this route (i.e. ACS assessment after changing career, especially to DevOps/Cloud Engineer). I am thinking of choosing analyst programmer as the option in ANZSCO Code. Please help in any way you can or refer me to anyone that can.

I am not an ICT person so might not be able to provide specific assistance except general counsel.

What exactly do you need?

martins2021:
I finished from Lead city University. I have degree in computer science and electronics. With 8 YEARS experience in ICT support technicians. Do I stand a chance?

ICT Support Technician is not a Skill level occupation so you are covered. Your degree might be assessed to be AQF associate degree equivalent but it will still meet the qualification requirement for the occupation.

Yes, you stand a chance.

lajid:


Yes please

Yes, you can get a job that can offer temporary skills shortage visa. Getting such job is dependent on your skills and the ability to sell yourself.

If you are a geotechnical engineer, you can get one easily. There are other occupations like that in very high demand.

PaPxM:
@bellong please advise..I'm currently working as a Desktop Support Engineer with 5 years of experience and Diploma in IT, Diploma in hardware and networking with 3 Microsoft Certifications.
Should I choose ACS (ict support engineer)or TRA (custom support officer)for my assessment. My role fit both positions. I'm applying for 491 or 190 visa Sub class. I'm preparing for my IELTS soon(April/May)
Age 32
Exp 5 years
Qaul: 2 Diplomas and Vendor Certifications (Azure Admin, Security Analyst and Microsoft 365 Administrator). I have ComPTIA A+ & N+(expired)
English 10/20
Been living in South Africa for the past 6 years
Spouse: Single
Working with SA work Permit

Firstly, you need to check the skill level of the occupation. I think ICT support engineer is a level 1 occupation requiring a bachelor degree. ACS does do experience in lieu which will make you lose experience points.

ICT support requires a diploma or so. In addition, you have to check if the occupations are being nominated by any state.

Going by points you can gain, I will suggest the support officer with TRA.

oyetpel:


Ok, thanks.
So do I stand a chance? To apply for this Aussie PR?

If there is a state nominating the occupation when you are ready, you can have a fair go.

lajid:


Hello, how about getting a job from Nigeria in Australia and the firm is willing to assist in the process of you getting there. How does it go?

Your question is not clear. Are you asking if it is possible to get a job from Nigeria and be sponsored for the visa?

oyetpel:


University of Ilorin

Your qualification will likely be assessed as an associate bachelor degree. Chemistry technician is the best bet. The one year will be used as a qualifying experience by VETASSES.

AdisaOwala:


Loolz

Thank God I didn't listen to this advise sha

This behaviour is why people sometimes do not respond to questions.

You asked a question and he gave you an answer based on experience and understanding of the migration act. Even if it didn't go as you envisaged, it shouldn't get to the point of spiting him. It isn't appropriate.

oyetpel:
B.Sc Chemistry - Graduated 2023 (4 years course)
Single.
Age - 29
English Test - Yet to Register (but aiming for 20 points)
Experience points- 0 points (but I am planning to do 1 year experience during my nysc in chemistry related field)

Then apply for 190 or 491 to get 5 or 10 points.


Do I have hope?

Which University did you finished from.

madapcmod:


Please do you advise me to use B.Eng Electrical engineering obtained in 2006 from Unizik but started working in power sector in 2013 or use M Eng Power and Machine Engineering gotten in 2016 from Uniben for my assessment.

Prior to 2013 I worked in Telecom industry for 5yrs but it's different Anzsco code with Electrical Engineer I'm going for

What's the implication on points if I use:

1. B.Eng. 2006, Electrical experience 2013- 2023 ie 10years

2. M.Eng 2016, will my 2013 - date experience count or Experience starts counting from the date I obtained the M.Eng ie 2016- 2023 Ie 7years.

Which of these two should I stick to for maximum point and easy assessment.

Why I wanted option 2 is that my Master's thesis will count in my CDR for EA assessment

You can use either or both. Engineer Australia will still award you the full points if they judge your experience to meet ANZSCO requirements. The Bachelor degree is the minimum qualification required for the occupation. EA is more reasonable than VETASSES.

tunlex01:

@bellong, please assist. Will this fly with a degree in Physics?

Yes, degree in physics will fly with instrumentaion technician. There are many applications of physics in the profession.

Ajuobi123:


Thank you @tunlex01

Please @here is there anyone that has accessed from any of the bodies for Bsc accounting from UNN?

Can you get at least 85 points? You will need very high points as accountant to have hope of making it to the invitation round.

Are you single or married?

chebyshev:


@Bnimz @Alphadoor@belong, I need your assistance, already have a positive assessment as a chemical Engineer so thinking of doing another assessment for other professional engineer nec or Civil engineering drafperson or petroleum. Please I need your guidance

Why do you want to change? Is the other option closely related to chemical?

Prisval10:



@ tunlex @ belong, made a similar mistake but mine wasn't deliberate. In my eoi I mistakenly answered yes when asked about Australian Qualification requirement, thinking they asked if my qualification is recognized by Australia for immigration purpose. I became worried when my total point increased by 5 points, since then I was unable to access my immi account to know the breakdown. Shortly I was invited by Western Australia through general scheme schedule 1(overseas). I almost fainted on Sunday when I succeeded in accessing my account for the first time to discover the 5 points was allocated to Australian Qualification requirement.
I was invited for nomination on November and the invitation point was 65, after deduction of the 5 points, my point is still above the cut off.
I have written to them(WA) to explain my predicament.

My questions are as follows.
1. For nominating me as an overseas candidate not minding my error, does it mean they recognized it as mistake since nowhere in eoi stated I schooled in Australia?
2. For informing them immediately before the outcome of the nomination application. Will it solve the problem.

NB: I have already updated my eoi and my point is still above the Nov. Cut off.

1. No, they believe you answered the questions correctly. The onus of ensuring your application is correct is on you.

2. Your application is still with WA so the error can still be corrected. First, amend your EOI and then wait for the outcome of your email to WA.

You must provide evidence for all the points you vlaim in the EOI at the final application stage.

chebyshev:


Not all of them. Do you mean I should submit EOIs even if my occupation is not nominated in those states?

,

I meant states sponsoring your no NM inated occupation.

RealPontif:


Okay! Thanks.

1. First, there is a genuine reason for the inability to provide the pension and tax documents. So, my question is, can you make one Statutory Declaration document stating proofs and why you're unable to provide the tax and pension informations, (inside one Statutory Declaration document)? i.e one Stat. Decla. document for both tax and pension.

Do you get?

2. Second, if the payments were made by hand (cash), can you still make a payslip for it?

Thanks.

Tax certificate is a government issued document, no excuse will be tenable.


Yes, you can make a payslip if you worked for someone. For self-employed, it is not necessary.

chebyshev:


@belong, assessment and English done and having 70 points for 491 and 60 point for 190. Occupation is chemical engineer and EOIs already submitted for 491 visa for WA,SA and VIC. Any advise ?

Have you visited the migration website of each state to submit expression of interest?

Other than that, if you don't have 20 points from English, try to redo it to go above 65 points and submit for 189 too.

oyetpel:


Ok sir, thank You.

So that means everything is sure once ITA is received?

ITA is 99.9% visa barring individual's mess up with their paperwork and documents.

oyetpel:


Please is it after assessment and EOI that one has to pay 4k+ AUD? Or before?

Visa application fee is paid when you receive invitation to apply at the point of submission.

Your initial concern should be getting assessment and Englidh test out of the way.

RealPontif:


What did you say is okay to do?

Also, I have never had a task certificate. But recently, due to this SA program, I went to inquire as to what is required to obtain a tax certificate, I was frightened by the amount of money they charged me. Is that how huge it costs because I do not have such money at the moment considering that I have a lot to pay for, for the Skill Assessment (SA) program?

Isn't there a way to circumvent this or at least to make it much more affordable?

There is no way to circumvent it. For every claim you make in your application, you must provide supporting evidence. Evidence of payment is usually given proper attention.

Please I need list for the food items allowed by the authority....

Quarantine staff in Western Australia are ridiculous with what they accept or reject. Whatever you bring, package it like it was bought from a company with labels. Make sure you bring only food items you will not be worried if tossed away.

momamorgz:
Good day Nairalanders,
Please i will be arriving Perth in few weeks and I need help with accomodation. Please any help will be so appreciated .
Thank you.

Are you travelling alone or with family?

The rental market is extremely competitive right now, you will likely need to book airbnb for few weeks.

Use www.realestate.com.au for real estate agents advertised rentals.

Facebook market and www.gumtree.com.au for private landlord listed ads.

DO NOT PAY ANY DEPOSIT TO ANYONE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE except someone is physically present to assist you with the process.

Do you have any specific suburb in mind?

Jennifernl:

Been running his own registered business

This is not enough information. What sort of business?

And how about you, your qualification and experience?
