You seem to know a lot about this PR. What stage are you in?

missymii:
Please anyone coming to Sydney or Darwin anytime soon. Pls send me a PM. Biko, abeg

santity100:


Firstly it is believed that before you can perform some jobs it is required that you have the education and knowledge which is mostly Bachelor's degree.

Any experience you have before you gain your bachelor's degree won't be recognised.

You sef know say nah bachelor in education and nce dey teach for school nah.

The earlier you know your chances the better.

Disappointments in visa applications is always bad, so earlier you know your chances the better you quickly make your decision to do stuffs that are realistic. Eye Don see with different clients and families.

Forget all those check sol/csol, once you have positive assessment you submit to skill select and you are on your way to PR. There are lots of people in skill select for more than 4 years without invitation to apply for PR.

Let's know if you have further questions.

All the best.

Good day house, pls I want to clarify something. Am going for student visa 500 subclass under ssvf AL1 school. I know am not supposed to provide my sponsor's bank statements but am I required to provide my own as a means of showing home ties? Pls help me clarify this issue everyone

santity100:



Nope you don't require to show any bank statement.

Mostly for postgraduate, the home ties is your current situation. Are you presently employed or doing business ? Include all employment and business evidences including introduction letters.

Also reference letter you used during admission can also be submitted for visa if it is a to whom it may concern, if not try get reference letters.

Thanks for your prompt response, I am employed but I can't obtain leave letter from my employer. In fact a mere mention of that could result to grounds for dismissal. Please how do I address this issue.

Again you talked about reference letter, but my school didn't require it for admission so I don't have it presently. So also, how do I go about that.

Thanks again

@ Santity 100
Thanks for the information shared so far on this thread.

I guess both of us are trying to drive home the same point just that I was quite startled when you used the word "forget" about check Sol/Csol stuff but I understand you better now and by external assessment, I meant qualification and skills done by the assessing body in question as one might only have propositions but until the body itself gives a feedback, positive assessment isn't certain.

Meanwhile, I had earlier thought that once a candidate aiming for an Independent skilled Visa (189) is able to garner 60 points as long as the occupation isn't flagged and not under special conditions (190), ITA is sure. Please shed more light on this.

Cheers

Hello e-family, pls i want to make inquiry from people who havd travelled with their little ones (2 years) on a student visa. Please what's d cost of daycare and other expenses generally. Pls do reply me

santity100:


It is alright mate. The most important is we are able to pass information to help people achieve their travel aims.

There are hundred thousands of immigrant in that skill select and only the highest pointers will be invited until the budgeted invitees is reached. 60 points is just the standard.

There are many people that had 60 points and they were never invited from skill select to apply till their occupation was removed the list. Same faith awaits account related occupations

They have reduced all accountants, auditors and management related occupations and ict occupations this year and presently the number of people remaining to be invited will be limited, hence the competition.

That's why you see some people travelling to study in Australia to get more points and have options of regional sponsorship and independent etc.

Or after your positive assessment and having done the English exam, you can look for registered immigration agents to help you get employer sponsorship.

Titobabe:
Please help a sis

SegunWamiri:


Meanwhile, I had earlier thought that once a candidate aiming for an Independent skilled Visa (189) is able to garner 60 points as long as the occupation isn't flagged and not under PRO RATA, ITA is sure, FOR THAT YEAR and to a reasonable extent, the next year.

A couple months ago, somebody on this thread was shutting me down and questioning my knowledge on PR. It's good to see someone else buttress some of the points I commented herein earlier.

Hitting the 60points does not automatically qualify you for invitation. There are hundreds of thousands of Indians, Pakistani, Russians, Chinese who have same 60 points as you and edge you with wealth of experiences under their belts vying to be invited. Especially in the area of technology. Although studying in Australia may not necessarily give you an edge over someone with wealth of experience but will over someone without one and applying from external.

The immigration has quota of those to be invited each year just like with any type of visa. The quota increases or decreases according to demand.

The competition is higher when you apply via sol to csol. If your occupation is in state like Northern territory, Tasmania and South Australia, you have better chances to be invited by those States as long as you are willing to live there for 2 two years before moving on.

Don't forget there a thousands of students in Australia paying $40-65k to study with the aim of getting a PR afterwards. They have invested in Australia and will be given preference over someone from overseas without​ experience vying for same position.

Having said that, there is no harm giving it a go as everyone's​ luck differs.

Different fees to different state. But should be ranging from $15-$25 per hour or $70-$200 per long day.

House: $150- $400 depends on location and bedrooms

Food: I guess you will be do more cooking. So budget $150-$200

Electricity and gas: are quarterly $ 150 & $100 respectively again depends on how much you use.

If you're​ driving. $50-70 on fuel weekly

Miscellaneous $50 - $100 weekly

Can get you a better deal on child care if you coming towards Newie

No other way to say it better champ.

Maybe from next year, I doubt if anyone with 60 points and below will even be invited sef in some occupations. The competition is increasing as more people have more information.

Asians and Arabs especially chinese and indians are more aggressive than us and they have more tools and edge. Their motive is to extend their family business and have second nationality in a western world in order to have more business opportunities. They have dealt with UK and Canada in the past, now it is oz.

Most don't even pay first semester tuition fee to get student visa, they pay all 2 years fee once and most will even buy house when they land in oz to even increase chance of getting PR.

The classification of our bachelor's degree as associate degree is not helping our people to get maximum points from experience. Recently I sent email to the education dept responsible for the reasons for classifying just few 6 or 5 universities bachelor's degree as equivalent but unfortunately it will be like this for sometime.

The best is to encourage people to study more health related or skilled based courses in our technical schools instead of everyone study business administration, accounting etc. Apprenticeships and health related occupations will still always have edge irrespective of the competition for PR to Canada or Australia.

Tell your younger ones to study in our technical schools to become welder, electrician, carpenter, plumber, chef, masons, etc. They will be independent and reduce unemployment in our country and for years to come, they will always the opportunity of migrating to Canada or anywhere for PR.

WestAfrican:

I once encouraged folks here to go for trade courses. The demand is high and the pay is enormous.
Painting, plumbing, Carpentery, mechanic,name namethey all on skill select and on huge demand. Just a few days on the news they mentioned about Aussie not venturing into trades anymore.

A friend of mind called a plumber to his house. Call out fees is $100 and 10mins work was $700. He was just vexing for himself.

Tradesmen are well-off in Australia and are proud of what they do. Smart Carpenters and painters own 2-3houses here. Mechanic charged me $400 to replace a ball joint in my car. His quote was $100 per hour.

Most tradesmens in Australia have more money than bankers and accountants except you are on a high level.
