Tasmania usually requires you to have a job offer or Tas grad to be considered. Do you have a job offer or did you graduate from a Tasmanian institution?

Junnaid:


Yes, am interested. So what's your advice?

Junnaid:

No I didn't graduate from there and also have no job offer. So what am I to do next?

SegunWamiri:


On another hand, you could settle for their 489 but read through the requirements and conditions attached carefully. Be sure you are satisfied with them

Also, does your spouse have her occupation on the occupation list? If not, you can't claim partner skills point

Kayla10:


It would be best for you to trawl through other state migration sites to see ones that have your selected occupations on the list. If you find ones that do, check their requirements to see if you qualify.

Kayla10:

The 489 requires the same or for him/her to have family in Tas (they have to be on permanent resident visas) or come as a small business owner.

Junnaid:


My occupation is also in Adelaide and Sydney. However, that of Sydney is on visa sub class 489. So how can I assess their requirements.

I have heard of the guy's scam in Akure. It is unfortunate that many will still fall into his scam as Nigerians are averagely gullible and looking for shortcut to things. hummm o ga o, May God help us all.

Either you request for a refund of your money (not sure it is possible) or threaten him with the law. Is it possible to get refund , i doubt it.

Moving forward, you can assess for customer service manager or an insurance agent. Northern territory sponsors customer service on 190 and 489 and South Australia on 489. I think I will prefer customer service, it is more versatile than insurance agent.

Queensland sponsors insurance agent on 489. I think you are better with the customer service manager. Yes, I am


Good afternoon oga bellong, thank you so much for taking out time from your tight schedule to answer my questions, May God bless you.

We will weight our options and start the process soon.

uchenna2017,SegunWamiri:Thank you so much Sirs for your contributions, when we start our PR journey you and oga bellong help will be needed.

Teejah80 ...Thank you so much, I will contact you.

Thank you all once again and success to us all in all our endeavors

Junnaid:


What of Adelaide? I really don't like the 489. I think she has her job on the list. But ur point is noted with regards to points from her, if her job isn't there.
Hence, what's the way forward?

Kayla10:


What is your occupation? 489 requirements will be on the website; either google search or search on the website.

SegunWamiri:


What's your spouse's occupation?

If you really...do not like 489, then your only option would be Adelaide's 190 but if you don't have enough experience, you might not be able to meet up with the 85 points thingy

Junnaid:

I graduated since 2009 and started work since 2011 till date on my line of profession.

Phlunter01:
Ok, about the PTE, in addidtion to all the tips that different people had been giving on the thread.

For me, All I did was watch all the available youtube videos on PTE (I went to youtube and typed Pearson Test of English/ PTE)
Another thing I did was i went to google to check "how to describe graphs"

Most of the speaking is always about describing one diagram or graph so its important to know how to describe it so that you wont start rambling.

I also ensured that during the test I was speaking very clearly even when you think you are off point just keep talking and don't pause for more that a few seconds.

You must know how to verbally express commas and full stops because it counts.

then practice essay writing from those practice test.....(i don't have any but i know you can get from someone on this thread)

can't remember much for now, but I hope i have been able to assist small

SegunWamiri:


I see that's 6-7 years depending on which month in 2011. After VETASSES assessment, the highest you could be left with is 5years if they decide to be nice and that's still 5 points.

Meanwhile, I also noticed that urban and regional planner is a Skill level 1 occupation meaning that by university standards, you must have finished your program in 4 years in a Federal school or five years in a state or private school to be able to get a positive assessment.

In your case, it's a polytechnic (4) years and PGD (1) year. I'm not too sure how this might play out with VETASSES assessment. Let's wait to hear from others

Junnaid:

The pgd is 2 years. It's a professional and post graduate diploma.
Also i think 5 years to 8 years is 10 points.

SegunWamiri:


Yes, you're right 10 points starts from 5years but I know from calculations, you would need at least 15 points from experience even with 20 points from English proficiency in order to meet up with Adelaide's 85 points criteria

As per 489, someone said earlier last week that it is more like a senior student visa..lolz. It gets you into the country but you would have to go through some trials to survive at the beginning as you are not entitled to ANY government benefits. If you have a family, it could be more difficult to settle in. Adelaide could be worse considering that it's currently rated as the state with the highest unemployment.

So my advice is look into NSW's website. Check for the requirements for nomination and see if you'll meet up. For some people, it is believed that 489 in Australia is better than staying in naija

SegunWamiri:


There has been an adjustment to the criteria some time last month.
Category 3A – Overseas Applicant


To be considered for this category you must be living overseas and meet the following criteria:

nominated occupation is listed on the Tasmanian Skilled Occupations List (TSOL)
you, or any of your dependents have not lived in another Australian state or territory within the last twelve months
achieved at least ‘Proficient English’ in a recognised English language test or hold a passport of the UK, Ireland, the USA, Canada or New Zealand
researched the Tasmanian labour market and provide evidence (see Document Checklist) that there are sufficient employment opportunities (at least five and not more than eight opportunities) in your nominated occupation in Tasmania; and that you have:
skills and recent experience relevant to the researched employment opportunities
skills and experience relevant to the Tasmanian economy
access to sufficient financial assets to fund your migration and settlement in Tasmania while you seek employment
If your application is one of high calibre, and the Tasmanian Government is satisfied that you will be able to secure employment with ease due to your skills and previous work experience you may be invited to apply for the Subclass 190 - Skilled Nominated visa.

bellong:
If you live in Perth, we can catch up later this month.

If you follow AFL, I probably will be at the Western Bulldogs vs Port Adelaide's game on 19th August...

Junnaid:


May be I should delay it for another 8/9 months perhaps they would have change their policy and I would av finish my ongoing masters. It's just a thought. Place kindly advice as appropriate if my proposed decision isn't good enough. Thanks

koleefem05:

I throway salute o everybody.
Just kinda confused, and limping upon two opinions.
So I need advise based on experiences.
Just taking a look at my awful PTE score, and only 2 marks in Speaking hindered me from at least claiming 10 points.
So I'm just thinking, "why not take PTE again when you don't know how IELTS would turn"?
Please advise. Thank you.

nkechima:
Will definitely catch up with you. @mamajaz what do U think?

Junnaid:
I also found out that Tasmania and Adelaide are sponsoring urban and regional planning on sub class 190.

Junnaid:

How do I research tasmania Labour market to know the availability level of my profession?
Simply google search, plus register your e-mail address to receive job alerts from key Australian job sites- seek.com.au, indeed.com.au, etc

Also like how much will I have in my account to cater for my self before employment?
It's part of the requirements for nomination. These can be found on Tasmania's website

Bamz:


IELTS writing is said to have the same difficulty as PTE speaking. It's your choice really. Did you take the ptepractice mock tests?

koleefem05:

Thanks Bamz..."my choice really".
I think with practice, I should do better in IELTS writing. I had 8 in IELTS Speaking in my first attempt, compared to 63 in PTE. I'll just put in more efforts this time in IELTS. No, I didn't take the PTEpractice mock.
