Hi All,

I was not sure I got the message Engineer Australia was trying to pass to me so i sent them another mail. From the reply i got it seems course I am nominating must be closely related to my degree. have been trying to post the mail but i dont know what i'm doing wrong. everytime i tried i get banned.

Well, based on that response, I guess the decision lies with u now. U have to go to www.anzscosearch.com and check out the tasks for an agric engineer and make sure that ur cdr focuses on those tasks. And like they said, make sure ur transcript reflects core engineering courses. Goodluck.

Follow up response got from EA.

Dear xxxx ,

Thank you for your email.

Your degree needs to be closely related to the field of Engineering you are applying for. We will be looking at your subjects completed and also how you have addressed all of the elements of the summary statement in your career episodes. Any additional work experience in the area of Engineering that you are applying for will assist you in preparing your career episodes, however a Skill Assessment is an assessment of your qualifications.

Please ensure you understand the role of an Agricultural Engineer set by the Department of Immigration in the SOL list via the link I sent in my last email.

We do not offer a pre assessment so you will need to read through section C of the MSA booklet to see what is required in preparing your career episodes.

Kind regards,

Nadia

This is the reply I got from them

Hi,

Thank you for your email.

As the assessing body, EA is unable to offer guidance on which occupation should be nominated.
The most important thing to remember when choosing a category is that you are able to demonstrate your knowledge in that area of Engineering, therefore it is important this is chosen by you.

Please click below, type your desired discipline into the search bar, this will bring up the definition of the occupation as well as the criteria of what we look for. You can use this as a guide when deciding which category to nominate.


The title of your degree does not need to match but you must have the foundations subjects of Engineering and please note that Agricultural Engineering in Australia may not be the same as overseas. Please see the links above.

Kind regards,

Nadia

Now I am thoroughly confused. It seems it is a 50 / 50 chance for those of us that have qualification in one engineerign course and want to nominate another engineering profession.

Please if you have successfully go through this please share your experience and your particular circumstances.

I will really appreciate it. Don't want to waste the money I can put it to better use in another alternative I have.

Yea but u can do both simultaneously cos u need ielts or toefl to submit the CDR to Engineers Australia.

firsttymum:
Thanks alot.
He hasn't even writen his ilets. That's d first stage I presume?

bellong:
STOWHY,

Compare the job descriptions of land economist and valuer. I guess you will be better off assessed as a valuer.

Those occupations are not competitive, you shouldn't have any problem as long as you can provide convincing evidence and also relate your experience.

THANKS A LOT BELLONG. YOU HAVE BEEN WONDERFULLY GREAT ON THIS FORUM. if i can get ur email will like to get a suggestion from you.

Its just like I told u earlier, if what u studied is not related to the nominated occupation it wont fly. but if u have enough years of experience to make up for the absence of the core engineering courses related to the occupation it should fly. I dont know how many years of experience r required for this. I got this info from NNBB2012 cos I studied petroleum engineering but I've been working as a chemical engineer and wanted to nominate chemical engineering, he first asked me how many years of experience I have and when I told him he said I should rather nominate petroleum engineering and use ITs and projects to writ my CDR to avoid getting engineering technologist outcome by nominating chemical engineering.

In summary, if u want to do this cos of the points u hope to get from work experience, I'll really encourage u to gather the max points from english test and nominate an occupation with tasks closely related to ur first degree. Or u can explore the other option u said u have.

Gurus in the house special good afternoon to you all, i must say you guys are the best have come to meet, More grace to you all, please i have being a silent follower to this group trying to read from the beginning which am still doing but please i need some clarification now as am abt to rergister on Austrilia Engineer portal for my assessment.
THIS IS MY PLIGHT

Am a chemical engineer in discipline currently doing my MSc in engineeing, but I work as a Maintenance Enginner in one of the multinationals as a contract staff, supporting the department on materials/equipments, planning/scheduling and others for 5years now.

I dont know which way to follow if i should use my work experience or my degree for my CDR application. wch will fetch me a better point?

Also, should i use the multinational company's name or my mather company that is written in my employment letter, though its clearly stated that am to render service to the multinational company on my JD. I will prefer to use the multinational name because its a well know company in the world and that may be a edge to me. Please your candid advise will help.

though i still have other issues but will run with this.

Thanks so ,uch for this humble house. am new though.

I advice you use the Company name stated on your employment letter. Your employer is not the multinational but the contracting firm. This is my candid opinion.

I advice you change your passport to your husbands name as long as you're including him in the application. It just avoids unnecessary requests for additional documents from case officers. My thought.

What does d highlighted mean?
U have to nominate an occupation like For example under pet engineering u can nominate drilling or completions or subsea or cementing... Something like that right?
My questions are plenty.. Cos I'm trying to understand it all. my hussy is offshore presently working so I'm trying to gather as many info as possible ( considering I'm not even an engineer)

[quote author=toslad post=47875424][/quote]

The proof of employment you have is good enough. I didn't provide that much though... In my case, Employment Letters, Payslips(4 for each year), Reference Letters from company, IBTC Pension Statement from the first year of work till present.

While uploading documents to immigration website (after your invitation to apply), you'll see "Superannuation" in the drop down list as evidence of employment. Superannuation is same as PFA.
PFA is a strong proof you were actually working as your pension would be deducted from your salary before you receive your pay.... This was my case and I believe so many other people can attest to this.
In my situation, I uploaded my pension summary. It reflected the companies I worked for and the contributions made.
In my experience. Everything you tell immigration should correlate, that's all they want.

Occupations usually have unit groups with the first 4 digits of the anzsco code being the same. for pet eng the closely related occupation is mining eng. its not broken down into the specializations u mentioned though some occupations have specializations listed. to see tasks of occupations go to www.anzscocode.com
Without prior knowledge, I'll even consider u an engineer
Ur doing a great job.

By preggers you mean pregnant? You may want to checkout scroollmeout's post when he got his grant. I also was in that shoe. When it began obvious that my wife was gonna put to birth here in Nigeria, we put the application on hold and when the baby arrived, we added him to the application; that way it is free otherwise if you get the grant and you still deliver outside Australia, na long thing as you will have to pay for child visa. Also if you are pregnant, you won't be able to complete your medicals (xray). So you may allow the application to run along until you are invited then you put it on hold. To do this, you will write to your CO attaching an evidence eg pregnancy test.


Please can you give further explanation on the emboldened?
Are you saying they wont be charged the visa application fee of $900 each?

Hey,

How can one nominate Pet Eng when it has been taken off the SOL list or are we talking CSOL here?

quote author=chuckdee13 post=47925998]Ok then ur husband has to hasten up, cos as we all know pet eng has been taken off the SOL. He has to write his CDR ASAP. Ifexsco has answered ur question on the pregnancy for more info u can go thru scrollmeout's posts or contact him.

Hi Ome,
What if one doesn't work in Naija what else can you use as Superannuation?

Is an English test the only requirement needed to claim spousal points?The 5points that is

jukeblam:


The spouse doesn't need to take IELTS if you won't claim any partner points and also if spouse can show proof of functional English.

For EA assessment as a Pet. Engr, it's IELTS (General); also EA has been accepting TOEFL iBT (this since Jan 2016).

Can somebody please tell me how much is charging for AUD as at today... direct from Naira master card I mean

This applies only to babies born after you have received an invitation to apply AND the decision on your application is not yet out. You have to pay for your babies. [quote author=Rett0 post=47936830][/quote]

Huh why is this not clear?
Meaning if I give birth after we get an invitation to apply I won't pay the $900 visa fee?

Hey,

Because it is still on the CSOL list with New South Wales sponsoring it. It is on schedule 2 on Western Australia's list which means you must have a job offer before being invited.

English test is not the only requirement to claim spousal point. Your spouse must also do a skill assessment from the occupation list as you.

Oh I see,Thanks for the clarifications@Bellong

what's the hope of someone with HND certificate with almost 8yrs of experience as a technologist in polytechnic, bec all I'm seeing there is degrees and diplomas. ,electrician ,engineer no middle level manpower jobs like technologist.

There's the engineering technologist occupation on both lists.
