Please is the surulere centre better than the Ukeas centre

I can't tell ..or conclude..I chose surulere because there was no available slot for UKEAS again this year. Besides, I know someone who scored 79+ in UKEAS.

Sorry this is coming late.

We submitted Reference letters, Bank statement, RSA pension, International and studio passports, ielts, career episodes and summary statement.

Sory taking you back. Do you mean
(1) REFERENCE LETTER : employment letter or letter of recommendation from previous employer?
(2) CAREER EPISODE : Are you talking of resume
(3) SUMMARY STAMENT : Dont understand at all.
Pls can you explain in layman language?
Thanks greatly


I guess you submitted certified copies of. CERTIFICATES, TRANSCRIPTS, BIRTH CERT OR( AFFIDAVITES) , CV, ETC

^^^^ Have you actually made an attempt to read Engineer Australia's website?

You will find all these things explained there.

Congrats! I am so happy for you.

My wife took PTE-A last week for the first time last week and got the following scores: Speaking-65; Reading-74; Writing-88; Listening-80. She was so close!

I can't even suggest that another attempt because I know what she went through to write the test. She would have gotten additional 10 points on English Language (from 10 to 20) and probaby get ITA by January.

It was even more painful to me than the person that took the test.

I understand as I was recently in such situation. I can suggest that you all enjoy the festive period to take the worries off. Then come back more determined next year... It will all pass.

For a family without a job yet,what is the support like in real figures?. I am asking so as to know the worst case scenario when I arrive with my family .

Thanks

congratulations!!!

mctowel01:
OK..this news isn't new to my dem men..Bnimz and Jamson..But make I still share to lift spirits up.
.
A lot has happened in the last 10 days. I took the PTE-A on the 7th and got the result on the 8th as L/S/R/W: 83/72/87/90. I needed 79+ in all for 20points, so had to take it again. I booked again that same day to take it again on the 13th.
On the morning of 13th EA outcome dropped positive for Electronics engineer. I then went for PTE same day and today, 17th, the result is out..L/S/R/W: 90/81/89/90....It all feels good!!......60 points in the bag...EOI already submitted... ITA loading.....

Bnimz:

Chai! No be small thing o.. But still, there's something to be thankful for.. If the Speaking section had been 64, she for retake am o.....

I don't get what you mean by "had been 64". Please, can you explain further?

She already had 10 points from IELTS Academic. We are only trying increase her scores to 20 since it is generally thought that PTE is easier to beat.

oho, okay.. I thought PTE was the only test... In retrospect, I should have remembered that una don submit EOI sef, which isnt possible without English...

Now, to explain what I meant.....

65 is the benchmark for 10 points,,, if she had gotten 64 in that speaking, it would have been zero points from that test.

My contributions aren't as strong as Oga cos I no dey Auz... however, from my research, these are my answers...

You can access benefits the moment you arrive...

2 years, no.. I never read that..

University isnt free but there are student loans and stuff [H.E.L.P]

University IS FREE for Doctorate research degrees..

The recommended amount for maintenance is at least AUD 20,000.... But I imagine that is overkill... 10,000 AUD should do, but then, I dont know how large your family is, or your spending habits..

Personally, I plan to come in with minimum of 5000 AUD... but then i'm a young, single nigga

Rett0:


OK.

That UKEAS test room is too Choky fah, let her go to Surulere. That's where the Gods of 79+ tanda dey wait for all.
Alright now.... let's go thereeeee....

Mctowel, Congratulations, I salute your courage.

jamson:


I am yet to see a young man as focused and diligent as Mctowel01. Took his disappointment in his stride, took advantage of the anger inside of him and struck again but this time, did not spare the bull's eye.

Congratulations, main man. In the great Bnimz's PTE voice, I say, "Konfaam"

You said it all, we will meet somewhere on Friday.

Thanks @Bnimz

@Amanda0,

PR holders can access family tax benefits and child care benefits on arrival while the remaining centrelink assistance have a 104 week (2years) waiting period starting from the day of arrival.

Child care benefits is a discounted child care fee. The government pays percentage of your fee depending on your family income. Family with low income can get as much as 90% discount.

To be eligible for Child care benefits, your child/men's immunisation must be up to date. People with children should come with their children's immunization record and take it to the nearest hospital or clinic to you when you arrive. The doctor there will be able to put it on the system and also advise you if you need additional immunisation. It is free for children.

Undergraduate studies are not free but you will be charged at domestic student rate. Some courses are Commonwealth supported which means the government pays percentage of the tuition while you pay the balance.

HECS fee help which is the students' loan is only available to citizens and those on permanent humanitarian visa (refugees).

Masters by research and PhD are tuition free for PR holders.

@ Oga Bellong,
Thank you so much Sir for your response it's clear now.

Sir, pls for clarifications can one acces medicare on arrival say for delivery and would the child be a citizen or Pr or there is a 2 year wait period?
Thanks sir.

Could you please stop quoting posts from A - Z? It takes up unnecessary space.. A few words from the post are enough to determine which post you're referring to. Thanks

keleto:

For me, yes.. Its just me, myself and I... .. From my research, 5000 will be enough for about 3 months.. And I definitely won't be there without working for 3 months.. Even in UK, I started working 2 months after I arrived.. And I waited that long only because I be student...

There's always low level work to do... Na the professional jobs dey take a while to get..

Hello people, I have interest of travelling to Australia to work as an experience professional. I am a graduate with several years of experience in oil & gas field.


Kindly advise me how to go about it please!
Thanks.

The best advice is to go to page 0, you will get 98% of all you need to know.

I used the word for all centrelink payment like unemployment benefits, parental leave pay, disability pension for those physically challenged etc.

I think everybody should just ignore people that come to ask such annoying question.

Amanda0,

Learn how to quote properly and you don't need to quote comments, just type name. The way you quote makes it difficult to read your questions from the quoted statement.

If your friend is not an electrician yet, he can get an apprenticeship job from tradie companies. He will be paid at an apprenticeship rate $12/hr.

Alternatively, he can enrol for certificate IV in electrical in TAFE or any training organisation. It is advisable to go through the apprenticeship route. Don't ask me how to go about it, when he/she lands, he will know or ask Google.

If you are reading posts other than asking questions, you would have read that Medicare has been discussed severally. Yes, Medicare is part of what you get when you arrive and it doesn't cover dental ailments for adults. Human services website is where you can get detailed information.

A child born to PR holders onshore is given citizenship even if the parents are yet to be and I think about $1500 is paid to the parents after birth.
