Just make sure the phone number and email address of the person signing your letter is in the letter.

You can also add affidavit.Your friend and hers as well as any of your parents can swear an affidavit,stating when you met,how long the rship has been and your intention of getting married. That was what a friend used but they were already married and it was not up to a year,so the CO wanted to be sure that the marriage is genuine and that they have been dating for a long time b4 getting married.

You have been texting her for a long time now aren't you?
Start gathering people to snap pictures with her involve and send your text messages with dates attached also.

After you have done all of those, you may have to accompanied it with a letter.

Hello house,in case anyone needs details concerning the AIMS exam for Medical.Lab Sc, I will be more than willing to help. I just got my exam result,and I passed.

I tell you ooo no be small not to be deceived by their smiles. Very good advise,best to just do your work and mind your biz oooo. That was same thing I was told once I got here and I later found out why...quote athor=afosahid post=77815726]Hi All,

I have been procrastinating this post for a while now glad I can finally come around and share my experience so far since we landed. I also believe it’s a good time to address a few comments about people going silent once they land onshore even though they benefited from experiences shared by others when they were offshore. Please understand that people are dealing with a lot of issues and trying to get their footing here. So it’s not a case of deliberately going silent. At least I can say that for myself. To the guys who have worked hard to keep the thread alive, you deserve some ACCOLADES! Thank you!

We departed MMA II 12th Dec 2018. Airport clearance was easy for us as my very close friend is a FAAN official. All protocols were easy, no one asked for a Naira. Flights were booked through IOM so we flew emirates. Destination Sydney and my friend, now brother, picked us up. We stayed at his place for a while before we got our apartment. We took our time though with the house search and got a really decent 2 bedroom apartment in Merrylands West (Western Sydney) for $375/week. Landlord/Agent was a little skeptic as we just arrived with no jobs at the time so they gave us a 3 months lease (Major blessing in disguise)

Got a car 2 weeks after arrival as moving about with the kids with public transport was quite hectic. We are a family of 4 by the way. So I advise you to get one if you can affford it on arrival. You can get something to move you around from $1500 upwards (whatever you can afford). If you can, try to buy a vehicle that still has good number of months valid registration on it and valid pink slip (e-safety check). That will save you some money. Although you still have to pay for transfer of ownership and insurance (Compulsory Third Party Insurance- CTP or green slip). While we are on this topic of vehicle, please ensure you come in with a valid drivers licence. For NSW PR holders you are only allowed to drive 3 months on your overseas licence after which you must get a NSW drivers license or stop driving. You could get away with driving until you get stopped by police. The fear of fines is the beginning of wisdom. If your overseas licence has been issued for more than 3 years then all you have to do is the DKT (driver knowledge test) and then the practical driving test and if you pass, you will be issued a full drivers licence (This is gold trust me). @alphadoor has shared some helpful links for apps and cost of obtaining your licences.
I got my licence within the 3 months limit so I advice you to go for it as soon as you can and don’t leave it for too long. It also helps you while applying for jobs. A lot of recruiters ask if you have an Australian drivers licence.

On arrival, I will also advice you get a government issued photo ID if you can afford it. It helps you with your 100 points ID when applying for a lot of things including rental applications.

Started searching for jobs a few days after landing. I was quite positive my experience was good enough to land me a role in no distant time. Fate had other plans. I apply tire. I was barely getting calls for interviews. I tried every trick in the book but the call backs were very few. My CV was good, my experience was quite relevant to a lot of the roles too. I had to pick up a warehouse role when he wan start to Dey RED. Did that for a month and was out on the market again. I apply taya. I write cover letter taya. I had different versions of my CV that suits different positions that were being advertised. Toned down my CV from 5 pages to 2 pages. For some applications, I had to cut down my years of experience from 9 to less than 5 years. Few call backs I got said they were impressed by my experience, but unfortunately, they needed someone with local Australian experience for the role.

Still kept pushing as there was no other choice. Had to pick up a construction role as bills no Dey wait naa. Only did that for 2 days though. Construction work na die for here . Please avoid by all means if you can. One of those days I was at my lowest, doing the construction job, I got a call from a recruiter from one of the largest engineering companies in Australia & NZ. You are not allowed to take calls on site. Make I no pick recruiter call Kuku kee me here. Picked up the call, and recruiter said he has seen my CV and my experience was really good, he fears I might be over qualified for the role he has? Overqualified wetin Oga please let me decide what roles I am over qualified for please!!!! Convinced him to get me an interview with the hiring manager and I won’t let him down. He called back again to ask if I was willing to relocate to a different city, Newcastle (still within NSW) for the job. I told him I was more than ready to relocate. Attended the interview and thankfully I got the job.

I had just a few weeks left on my lease in Sydney which was a massive blessing. Got an apartment in Newcastle and moved my family down. We are settling in fine here. It’s a lot more calm than Sydney and it’s not as expensive. Quicker to get around the city so we really like it here.


I broke my job hunting experience down in graphic details to give a good picture of some of the hurdles you’ll face when searching for a professional role after you just landed. Nothing will be handed down to you. Your CV is your 1st impression. There is big emphasis on keeping your CV brief and straight to the point here. Make targeted applications. One CV does not fit all jobs advertised in your role. Read the job descriptions and tailor your CV to suit. Here most companies use recruitment agencies. These agencies are in competition to retain client accounts so they will always want to put the strongest candidate forward. That means they’ll not consider your CV if they find anything wrong with your CV. Like others have mentioned remove Nigeria from your CV completely. Also if you’re on 189, research extensively on the city that has more of your roles before landing. Although there are no guarantees, but at least you’re sure there are lots of opportunities in your line of work when you land.

In terms of culture shock, I won’t say I’ve had too many as most of my work experience back home was in a highly multicultural environment. I understand these guys well and how they think. Do not be fooled by their endless smiles at you. @goodmemory has done justice to the topic of how to relate in the professional environment here. Be calm, be in control of your emotions but be assertive. Again, do not get confrontational like we do back home. It will only worsen your situation.

Make I leave am here for now. More details later...[/quote]

Please i want to find out which country of residence should one who is from Nigeria but currently residing in Australia and is applying for Canada express entry enter on the express entry profile. Thanks
