bellong: Thank you for your response Bellong. Please can you advise on getting a car for $600 - what to expect and so on. Pardon the lack of substance in my post. I am based in UK and I know you can get a functional car that costs similar to $600 but my brother in Queensland has been advised that he has to spend at least $2,500 to get a good car. Please any advise will be greatly appreciated. Thanks 1 Like |

Hey bro, I doubt they'd call to verify your qualification - if however they do, it will be to the university so you'd have nothing to worry about. I believe it is compulsory to write IELTS if you are claiming any points from Language ability. However, if you don't need to claim any point from IELTS (provided you have accumulated 60 points without IELTS) then I think you might be ok with your uni proficiency. Please don't take my word only for this as I am not 100 percent certain. I have no problem sharing my email but to be honest, you have better chances of getting support on here than with only one person - especially at this stage. I will be more than happy to share some of my experiences with you on here. Cheers afolaseg: |

Hi Afolaseg, The assessing body is Vetassess and there was no call regarding the qualifications neither was there any regarding the work experience. I guess the fact that the transcript goes directly from the school is enough check? not sure.... Do you have a chosen course of study yet? Or perhaps profession depending on whichever route you have chosen? House, please I need help with a contact in Queensland, any help will be gratefully received. Thanks afolaseg: |

Good news, got visa for sister and her family on the skilled 489 for Qld! With a heart full of thanks, I just wanted to take the time to appreciate and thank everyone on this platform. I started out on a journey for visa for my sister and her family right here. It was such a blessing to have you guys share your experience and guidance here. Special mention to BossLadyMO - who is no longer on this platform, but without her support it would have been very difficult to get thing through. Also to Future Don and all all the class of 2014/2015, I am thankful. To anyone planning to move between now and December, please get in touch. I'll also appreciate tips of guide from anyone already there in Aus or Qld. 2 Likes |
Politics / Re: Nigeria Has Over N 2.7Trn In Treasury Single Account ( TSA ) – AGF by kolawolead(m): 12:04am On Apr 24, 2016 |
Attempt to shed more light on the concept of the TSA. The money in the TSA account does not belong to the FG (yet)! It belongs to federal ministries and parastatals. These are their revenues. They also have expenditures which will be taken out of this account. This is why the reported figure/amount would often vary. A federal parastatal may have been generating revenues over the past 10 months and can have one huge expenditure in the 11th month which can reduce the balance in the account. By and Large, the essence of the TSA is that only genuine expenditure would be expected to go through. We should also note that ministries are in the habit of trying to put through as much expenditure as possible towards the end of the year. With this in mind, PMB would be breaking the law (rule if you like) by spending this money. What ever is carried forward into the next year is what the FG is able to spend! |

Congrats to all for all the success stories so far and thanks to all sharing their experience to help us all. Please I have a question. With the recent forex limitations in Nigerian banks, how is the best way to pay for aus visa fees? I mean would banks do such transaction or do I have to go and source exchange in the parallel market? All your help and advise will be gratefully received. Thanks |

I understand that events would have overtaken this particular post but I wanted to add my voice in appreciating you @BossLadyMo. I am a benefactor of your kindness. More so now that you live in Australia, we are truly blessed to have your support (and others' on this forum) because time is of a different value when one lives in a western country. My sister, God will continue to strengthen you and your family as you strive to help people you have never met in your life. The same goes for all other legendary helpers, God will come to your support in every aspect of your lives. God well bless all our hustle, Amen. Keep flying high BossLady, regards. bossladymo1: 3 Likes |

Thanks BossLadyMo, I have read online that IELTS can be waived when the applicant and dependants (above the age of 16) possess equivalent of a bachelors degree. This link http://www.workpermit.com/australia/ielts.htm "To determine that you have sufficient English language ability to be able to participate in the Australian labour force, the Australian authorities require that you take the IELTS examination if you are not a native English speaker. You do not need to take the IELTS exam if you have gained a tertiary degree (equivalent to an Australian Bachelor’s degree or higher qualification) from a University where English is the medium of instruction." And This one for NZ which has a lot in common with Australia - http://www.immigration.govt.nz/migrant/stream/work/skilledmigrant/caniapply/english/ However, you may not have to take the IELTS test, if you can show us that you: have a recognised qualification from a course taught entirely in English have ongoing skilled employment in New Zealand, and have been in the job for at least the last 12 months have other evidence that you are competent in English - we will consider the evidence that you provide. I am keen to avoid relying on the IELTS because poor sister just had a baby and I feel it will help if she doesn't have to add more pressure of preparing for IELTS Please give your opinion based on these information if it's a risk worth taking by relying on proficiency letter from university bossladyMo: |

Hello Nairalanders, I have come with gratitude to you all, especially @BossladyMo for your help and support on this forum for newbies. I have received outcome of the assessment and it is positive. The next stage is to make EOI which I intend to do by this weekend. Also my sister may be relying on the English language proficiency letter from university for her visa application - please what do you think about this? Thank you 1 Like |

Hi Nairalanders, Please I'm unsure how to interpret this “At least a bachelor degree from an Australian educational institution or other degree of a recognised standard”. Does other degree of a recognised standard refer to other degree types awarded in Australia only or does it include Nigerian degree? |

alhajichuks: Hi alhajichuks, You may want to start by visiting this website - http://www.studyinaustralia.gov.au/ You will also find it helpful to read (thoroughly) through previous posts on this page.

Thanks for the response ferdimako, I guess my concern now is will the embassy (visa processing authority) accept the letter of proficiency? Thanks ferdimako: |
Travel / Re: General Australian Visa Enquiries by kolawolead(m): 9:44pm On Feb 19, 2015 |
Hello happytbaby, many thanks for this very useful information. I understand you need to give your previous institution an address that you want the letter of proficiency to be sent - I believe this would be the University in your case? If yes, did you send the same letter (Carrying OZ's university address) with your visa application? I am asking because I am unsure if this letter of proficiency can be used for the 489 provisional pr as well - and if it should be addressed to VETASSESS or Aus's embassy? Everyone's input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks happytbaby: |

That's expensive, I'll advise that you hold on for now - prob till next week. It should become cheaper in the coming days based on this update - http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/01/30/nigeria-currency-idUSL6N0V92SG20150130 You should also check with the 'abokis' on the street as well - they often offer better rates bossladyMo: |

I am not aware of any reason why it's a bad idea - especially if a large sum is involved. however one will most certainly get better rates in local Bureau de Change outlets bossladyMo: |

I'm quite pleased I have learnt some thing! That saying "hook line and sinker" never meant more than a saying to me...but eh, it means a lot more now lol thanks BossLAdyMo! For other curious minds like mine - "It has its roots in fishing lingo, referring to a fish having fallen for the bait easily; swallowing the hook, the fishing line, and the sinker along with it." My tuppenceworth regarding level of unemployment in Australia is this - As mentioned in many earlier posts, there is no such place where fortune is freestyle. That said, there are enough opportunities in advanced countries - provided you are focus minded and you enjoy the grace of the almighty God. Those that gets caught up in unemployment issues (whether black or white) are those with lackadaisical attitude towards life - these kinda people will struggle even if they migrate to the paradise. The OP on unemployment rate has merely expressed his views through an acutely short-sighted lens - and my advise to him will be to start to see beyond his nose. To all aspiring to travel to Australia, I have heard good stories about people living there - it is apparently on of the best places to live in the world. However, more than anything focus is a fundamental requirement in any where we find ourselves. With the GRACE of God, things often seem effortless. bossladyMo: 6 Likes |
