Debymayor:
Greetings,

I must say I learnt a lot from your answers. Pls I also need some clarifications.

I have been looking towards Canada but my spouse recently got a link for Australia through a friend. It's going to be a one year visit visa, we were told that after few months, the visa can be converted to PR for a couple of years,. Pls is this really feasible ?

What do you advice? I and my spouse are both laboratory scientists.

Will be looking forward to your response

I just saw your mention. I have been off nairaland and social media for a while. I have been in Uk for 2years plus and no longer have update on Canada and Australia immigration. I hope someone has answered your questions.

Reading through my post that you quoted, i am surprised that i did write such long insightful posts. I miss days that i was always on my phone and nairaland.

siina:
hello house, please which one is the suitable path way for me to get into Australian with over 12years experience as an Accountant in Education sector, HND(Ado), B.sc(OAU) ACA(Nigeria), CGMA(UK), CPA(Australia) and over 42 years old? and also married with 3 kids

Did you do your CPA(Australia) from Nigeria?

Seems it will be hard to get PR once one is 43years old. Maybe I should start to reason other country.

For myself I studied accounting Education finished in 2018

My husband is 33, while I am currently 32

Calculating our score he will be having 65 while I will have 70
However my course needs me to do the Ican or Acca which I don’t currently have
Please advise us on what to do and what step to take
I will really appreciate

tunlex01:

From recent reports, it won’t fly if your first degree is not from a tier 1 university. We even went back and forth over email to convince the assessor to use the MEd and the teaching practice but they declined

Please how do I know the tier my university is
I went to Ekiti state University

Hello Everyone,

Good day.

Please I need some clarifications.

I got my academic credentials assessed successfully by WES for the EE stream of Canada. I am planning to apply for Australia PR too. Is my WES credentials certificate valid there or do I have to get them done from some another agency?

Kindly request for guidelines.

WES assessment is for Canada and not valid for Australia. Based on your degree and occupation, the assessing body in Australia in charge of your nominated occupation will assess both the degree and the work experience.

but is he a Marketing specialist? 'cause it's not just by studyiing 'Marketing'
he can assess as Polytechnic Teacher 242211

Also you dont have to wait to have 4 years experience to assess with Vetassess.

Your qualification is relevant.
Do you work for a mortgage or lease brokerage firm?

I work with an oil and Gas firm as an accountant

Also you dont have to wait to have 4 years experience to assess with Vetassess.

But if we don’t wait we won’t be able to claim the 3 year work experience as I believe vet access will deduct from his cure 3 years leaving him with 2 years work experience because he will have to use Unilag since it is a tier 1 school as the Job is a Group A work too

Before you assess with Vetasses or any other relevant body, try and simulate to get your points so as not to waste money.

For most occupations, don't bother if you do not have at least 85 points...

Good day sir/ma,

Is there an upper age limit to study for an undergraduate degree in Australia?

How much should I be looking at

Thank you

Seems it will be hard to get PR once one is 43years old. Maybe I should start to reason other country.

Story story
Wife first drop the idea of relocation in 2015 and I laughed it off, is it money. Then 2017 I still said no.
So during the lock down, I saw the way our government treated us and she brought it up again and I bought into the idea. But was 43 then.
Spent half of 2020 practicing IELTS. After 3 IELTS and 3 PTE, I missed superior by 2 points - 77. That was August 2022.
45th birthday was Oct. 2022. So I was just hopeless, 2 months to get nominated.
Points stood @ 75 for 491. Then the shocker of NSW. So on September 21 wife called me on my way to work that NT opened that it may work. I just told her to leave me that 2 weeks to 45, what again. Bit 30min later something told me to at least check. And then off I go getting paper and we applied 25th. Then I got to learn NT takes 6 months to process applications. Well on the 6th of October, 2 days to my 45th, I sent a mail to NT telling them to finalise my application, that I will prefer to get a rejection than to miss out on age technicality that I may not be able to overcome the missed opportunity. On the 7th a mail came for me to clarify some things about my employment and the CO tells me to send any reply before 4pm NT. Something keeps telling me in the night to check my mail, but I said I don't want to be heartbroken. But around 4am, my son came to my room to wake me up for something, so I used that to check my mail and the request, clarified it. And then I was on my way to work when I checked my mail again, theCO messaged me again to sign declaration form for nomination and send before 5pm Darwin time if I want to be nominated. Jumped down from BRT at 7:30am looking for business center, none had opened, being running back home before I realised it will take me like an hour to get there by foot, so I hailed a bike, got home, auto sign the form sent. And them left for work. As soon as I got to the bus stop, just 5 min after, wife called that nomination approved. Just 7hours to 45th birthday. So, I got grant 8th July, 2024
Thats is my story, nothing is impossible. .
