erictack2003: I wouldn't worry about getting a job in Melbourne. What I would worry about is if I have enough time to work, as I heard school studies take up almost all time. 1 Like |

ok i'm not going for Engineering Manager. I shud be able to rake up my points without the exp points. so once i can do that I'm good to go right? but the main this is to get a positive assessment first from EA. when filling all the things I need to I'll need all the help I can get so that I dont do it twice. but the thing with 190 is that i need to get a job offer first before a state can nominate me. then 489...do i need a relative to hold a PR first before he/she can sponsor me?

missakomaye: NNB,BossLady and missakomaye thanks alot for the detailed analysis. I am so touched by the time and effort you all devoted to helping me. I am a core network engineer with experience in network switching subsystem. I have some Cisco certification, Huawei and Alcatel Lucent Vendor Training and project management certification (PMP) . I worked briefly with an IT company where i worked as a data network engineer deploying radios at interconnecting banks to their headquarters on microwave radio. I have worked extensively on Call server, Media gateways and Home location Registers. I have also attended some courses on GPRS and third generation network and packet data network (Serving GPRS support Node and Gateway GPRS support Node). Please kindly advise. 1 Like |

chuckdee13: Focus on English test and assessment for now. It's not every state that requires a job. I know SA & NSW do not require. It is only your relative that can sponsor you for a Family-489 visa. |
Re: General Australian student Visa Enquiries Part 2 by bossladymo1: 11:17am On May 28, 2015 |
NNBB2012: WA is the only state I know that has some occupations that require a job offer. I think Tasmania too. |

gogochocolate: The Telco market is not too good for CORE Networks. You won't have issue if you have IT experience and certifications. Check the job websites seek and indeed. You can start applying for job before you arrive. Get a skype account and put the number on your cv. They will give you Australia number. It will appear as if you an in Australia. You need to use that to test the market. 4 Likes |

gogochocolate: LOL. I laughed in French. This what I called a good problem. Many people will give a toe to be in this situation. I was once in not so different a situation many years ago. I just got a job paying 10x my previous earning, I got a MSc tuition-free admission into a prestigious uni in Europe and another turn-key scholarship for another MSc programme in Europe - all at the same time. At the end of the day, I had to make a decision, a tough one at that. What I'm saying is that it's gonna be your call irrespective of what anyone tells you. Nonetheless, make that call an informative and prayerful one. I may not be able to offer tipping advice with regards to your engineering field here in Oz but I believe securing employment anywhere in the world involves some stiff competitiveness and hard work. I have got friends in Canada and the local experience issue is not unobtainable there as well. Population of Canada vs. Australia: 35 million vs 25 million. Go figure. Consider geographical locations which place one of them at an advantage depending on what you're looking at. Also consider long-term prospects for your career, family and kids, particularly. May not be different for both. Present state of the economy. Check indices and 5-year outlook. Check policy directions in terms of government investment decisions. Check recent migration policies. I could go on and on. But what I will advise is to do a multi-criteria analysis. You're an engineer and you know what I'm talking about. We all do this unconsciously sometimes to make a decision. Having said that, I believe you can eat your cake and still have it but check the Cost-Benefit analysis. 2 Likes |

gogochocolate: @gogochocolate, bros na you put yourself in this position o .....I can only imagine all the thoughts running through your mind at this time A lot of folks have shared their opinions and views about Australia but you also need first hand information about Canada to balance it out. Possibly speak with people you know who are already in Canada and also post the same question on the Canadian FSWP thread here on Nairaland or on other relevant forums. I almost ended up in your shoes, infact I had completed my WES evaluation but I gave up when I couldn't source accurate information on the Canadian job market. The pull for me then to Canada is the 'perceived' access to the US market - that being said, I don't know for certain if Canadian citizens and Permanent residents are allowed to work in the US without a work permit as I didn't research it fully. The Australia/Canada debate has been going on for a while and even a simple google search will return several conflicting articles so ultimately you will have to decide yourself - obviously, there are a lot of pros and cons to consider. I sincerely wish you all the best as you make this life changing decision but please don't spend money unnecessarily trying to keep the two PR visas valid. You need to be objective and practical, if you must, then you should activate the Australian visa first which will keep it open for 5 years. Cheers ! 1 Like |

teeflow09: Pretoria Teleperfomance office number +27 0 214017500. Call and they can give you a working number if the +27 12 423 6000 isnt connecting. But expect that machine fit direct your call. Be patient enough to wait to be connected to an agent. My humble advice 1 Like 2 Shares |

Re: General Australian student Visa Enquiries Part 2 by johnsontade: 4:58pm On May 28, 2015 |
gogochocolate: Hi Gogochocolate, We are almost in the same shoes because i just got my canadian PNP nomination and have just 4-5 months max to complete the whole process. The nomination wasn't expected and i already had my CDR application packaged to run my EA assessment with 10 points IELTS in my bag which gives me at least 60-70 % assurance that my Australian PR would also be granted if i continue with the process. After long research and findings via google, forums and landed migrants, i found out that the decision lies solely in your hands and depends on what you really want to do and where you project yourself to be in the next few years. Whichever one you go for would definitely pay off after becoming a citizen cos you can always get an Australian work permit with your Canadian passport vice versa. Before i proceed, i just want you to know that the KEY to settling down in either one of the two is having a qualification(diploma or degree) after arrival which may either be in your present occupation or a new occupation(no harm whatsoever in changing or switching careers as long as its going to pay off in the long term). This is a little summary from my findings: AUSTRALIA 1. Very good country and easier to land a job with your foreign qualification compared to Canada. Civil Engineers seems to be having a good time presently despite the stiffness in the engineering job market. 2. Higher minimum wage with good weather compared to Canada(living expenses are higher than canada though). 3. Schooling isn't really tough compared to Canada. 4. More online degrees and courses which makes it easier to work and study at the same time. 5. Lower tax compared to Canada(Just a little bit tho) 6. Far to other America & Europe unlike Canada. 7. You become a Citizen after 4 years thereby having access to 168 countries visa free. CANADA 1. Very strict about their local experience. A country for technicians and people who work or want to get into the Oil & Gas industry especially in Alberta & Saskatchewan. Examples of the hot occupations are Instrumentation, electrical, power engineering, heavy duty mechanic, petroleum engineering. Australia, US and other oil producing countries including Nigeria would offer you a job if you have Canadian Oil & Gas experience. 2. Stuffs like Automobiles and real estate are very much cheaper. 3. Very cold weather except Vancouver where it kinda rains a lot. 4. Easy to land a job once you go back to school to get a diploma in any technical Oil & Gas related field. 5. Comparable wages in some provinces with low tax e.g. Alberta 6. You become a Citizen after 3 years and also have access to about 168 countries. 7. Definitely more lively and much more multicultural with so much fun activities to do (the lifestyle there is almost the same as the US ) 8. Much larger black/Nigerian community. I just summarized it cos i'm on the road and can't type much. Like i said earlier, the decision lies in your hands and you can never go wrong with whichever one you choose to go. All you need is a well laid out plan and smartness...every other thing would fall in place. 7 Likes 2 Shares |
