Collect your money back... you will only need half of it to process your PR.

You are still very young and you studied engineering. You don't need work experience to be assessed with Engineer Australia.

Age - 30 points

qualification - 15 points

You just need to hit a 20 point mark in IELTS or PTE-A and you are good to go.

You can use the medicals for PR

The only academic work you will do is write a CDR for Engineer Australia and you can use your IT and project to write it.

Don't waste money going to school. Once you get your PR, you can do Masters by research tuition free.

Read the body assessing accountant's website for instructions. There are three bodies assessing accountants. I am not conversant with them. Not sure if work experience is not compulsory to assess with them. Some accountants are of the opinion CA is the best out of them all. You can check them out.

The bolded can be misleading on face value. It's not needed for assessment, but can be assessed (if yu hv relevant experience) by Engineers Australia & if +ve gives u 5pts The way it came off, might be seen by some as if work experience isn't needed. My 2cents

A three (3) yrs work experience in Nig gives yu 5pts whilst a 1yr work experience in Oz gives yu same 5pts.

bellong:


You are saying something different. That's if you need it for point. I added that part because he said he doesn't have work experience.

Hello all,

Can one use IELTS General Training for Australian study visa application?

@Ukchy
Please I sent you a pm.kindly check your mail

Or even use ur University lab assignment/class project work plus ur thesis as bellong said to write ur CDR. Getting 8 in IELTS is very doable.

nelsono:


Yes, you can - General or Academic is fine

At the time I enrolled @ Uni Melb the tuition was 33K AUD/yr (with a caveat that the tuition wont be increased by more than 10%) and at time it was the highest or amongst the highest.

Its expensive (wont mince words) erase the thots (ie if yu have such thots anyways) that yu will work in Oz and earn enuf money to pay such fees - one thing will suffer, ur grades or ur fees.

To be able to attempt or pay ur fees yu will have to drop ur course load from 4 courses per semester to 3 or 2-course load and that means elongating ur M.Eng duration time.

Peeps that work and earn money to pay their fees are those that go to lower cadre schools, but not like ur school with 40K/yr tuition

You can work and earn enuf to pay ur bills and be relatively comfy and send some AUD back home from time to time.

During my time I got a job in June/July, which was school vacation time (came in Feb) partly cos of the workload at Uni Melb, so no time to combine working and studies.

Melbourne and Queensland have relatively same living expense but Sydney is expensive;

Is ur family coming with you, as u r arriving or they will join later? U got kids?

bellong:


If you have a degree in mechanical engineering, what stop you from applying for PR straight?

ukchy post =51143945:
Don't know how that pm works, have responded shaa

WestAfrican:

What state are u in? Have you stayed more than 6 months in Australia? Is your nigerian licence still valid? Are you over 25 years?

nelsono:


Ohh really, didn't know that, am now an old skool LOL

Applied around July/Sept... and yes I didn't apply for post-study visa, went straight from student visa (573) to PR (189)

Nah didn't wait to finish my studies, used my 3 yrs work experience in Nig to get the needed 5 points -: Age gave me 30pts, IELTS (9,9,9,7.5 - wrote in sept 2015) gave me 10pts, my 1st deg gave me 15pts and naija work experience gave me 5pts altogether 60pts.

This is to encourage folks that you can make/get ur IELTS score of 8 in all bands (as I hear from peeps that its hard to get 8; it's doable am an example, did it @ 1st try)

Bro good day, Pls I have a BSc in Statistics Working for 2years n 3months now as a business development officer (a Family Business ) S.M.E. and I just got Admission in australia to study masters in information systems ( Business analytics specialization) Deakin Uni. I am 28years, No IELTS yet, not married. Pls wats ur advice. And How can I get the PR directly from naija. Pls I need ur candid response @bellong and all other gurus in house. Thanks

nelsono:


You got admission with no IELTS? Wow, that's strange. Tho like someone said, alot has changed since my time and this could be one of those changes.

I see no part in you getting PR straight frm Naija (@bellong can advise further, but I doubt it): No IELTS, ur accrediting body ACS has sm complex accrediting system in that the discount 2yrs from ur experience before counting whatever that remains as part of ur experience; for eg if yu hv 4yrs experience in Nigeria, to assess ur experience the discount 2yrs from the 4yrs, thus u hv 2yrs. So in ur case u hv 3months experience. For Australian experience they discount 1yr from ur years of experience.
So getting the min points is near impossible if not possible. Anyone with any information that counters my view can chip in and help the fella;

My advice is be sure ur MSc program is a two-year course.

Write IELTS and attempt to make an 8 in all band (that's 20 pts with ur age another 30pts i.e. 50pts already) - ur program is assessed by ACS which needs 65pts or 70pts (in fact work with 70pts to be safe).

With a successful accreditation by ACS (15pts) and 2 yr study here (5pts) u stand a chance of getting the 70pts needed

Oh really, didn't take note of that. Thanks for that small bit of info.
I really wish you all the best of luck, hopefully we'll meet in Oz soon.

P.S. If there is any information you feel will be useful in applying to this program, please do not hesitate to share. Thanks!

Check the occupation lists if your occupation or a closely related occupation is on the list. You can only start the process for PR if your occupation is listed.

good day house, have been on a low key. short story. got my student visa and want to arrive Melbourne on 30th November. Please if anyone can help with temp accommodation for few days so I get a permanent place and move in. Will appreciate... Thank you.

lusen:


if one meets the required points(60pts). is it automatic one will get the visa. can i get the visa in 6 months if I start the processing now? I'm still weighing my options. I got an offer for a two yr master of architecture prog. My occupation is listed on the SOL list. but I'm thinking the accessing body (AACA) of my occupation might make too many requirements or even need me to write exams when assessing me.
