Good day everyone,

Please I need some clarifications regarding my best course of action here;

I have Bsc in Economics from Olabisi Onabanjo University (formerly Osu), 2003
Accounting Technician Scheme certificate from ICAN in 2008
MBA (finance ) from OAU in 2014
ICAN ACA 2017

I currently work in an O&G Company as a Senior Financial Accountant with more than 10 years experience.

Less I forget, I am 43 years old, married with 3 kids and my wife currently works with LASG with NCE (Economic/Maths) 2002, Bed(sc) Economics with more than 10 years experience, and she is 40 years old.

Could you kindly advise.......which of the above will give me a better chance in terms of Assessment. Looking at 491 visa category as an Accountant.

tunlex01:


invest in Skill Assessment Support to know if it will fly or not. You can check it on Vetassess website.

tunlex01:

Sincerely, no state is currently nominating Accountant except you have a job offer because it's the most competitive role in Australia here.
With your age and qualifications, you are likely not gonna full 15 points from any of the assessing bodies but it's good if you start the assessment process. You can add extra 10 points to your wife's points if you get competent English and positive assessment.
Of course, you will get a positive assessment, but the approved years of experience is what you will find out after the result is released.
You will also need to write IELTS Academic or PTE for a skill assessment with any of the 3 accounting bodies.

What's your wife experience, you only mentioned her qualifications?

jadell:
Thanks for your prompt response. My wife currently work as a Secondary school Maths teacher.

tunlex01:

Please check AITSL website for the requirements for Secondary School teacher. You should assess as an Accountant or finance manager to add to your spouse's points and both of you can be primary applicants.

Less than 7hours in the same airport. Any idea if they will be needing a transit visa. Pls help. URGENT.

jadell:
Thanks a bunch. Pls chief, which of my certificates do you think will give me a better assessment considering my Degree is in Economics and going for a Finance role?

BetterPerson007:
I think about 270k naira.
I'll check my PC later & share.
PTE 3 times failed
IELTS once (I enrolled in an IELTS class) passed.

metrecube:
Please is IELTS result valid for two or three years.?I know that assessment is valid for three years. I saw tunlex01 comment on the students thread that it is valid for three years.

Jesunitemi:

tunlex01:

Good afternoon everyone, please I need some answers.

I work with EEDC, and as you know, big Nigerian companies like this will never write you a recommendation letter for migration, so I fear mentioning that I work with them in my assessment documents. Some of my colleagues that tried migrating in the past, when the assessment authorities called and emailed our HR, our company refused to disclose any information about them. Thereafter, those my colleagues were fired. So they lost the migration prospect and their jobs here in Nigeria. How do I avoid listing my present company? Or better still, if I mention them, how do I make the assessment authority to not contact the HR or top management? I would like them to contact my direct supervisor if they must.

Secondly, the other job I did before moving to EEDC, in a construction company, we were paid in cash with no document to prove receipt and I didn't really pay taxes. How do I prove I was paid?

Thirdly, I read Civil Engineering in a federal university, but I now work with Enugu Electricity Distribution Company as a Field Supervisor. Will this affect my assessment?

You cannot assign points to yourself without an assessment. You are only sure of your points after assessment.

Which organisation is your internal auditor experience? VETASSES is very strict with the occupation. Your packaging must be top notch to pull through with internal auditor.

What is your spouse's occupation and qualification?

Damatik:

I am facing the same dilemma. I want to do this quietly without involving my current employer. My problem now is getting my tax returns for 2019. I have my payslips, pension and tax ID. I have a role profile showing my job responsibilities in a company letterheaded paper. And my work hours is only shown in my employment agreement. Please, would these suffice to submit my assessment with EA. Please, advise. Thanks

jamson:


If you are assessing with EA, you may not need to face this dilemma. What’s your background and full profile?

tunlex01:


Do you work in Lagos.. I mean is your tax paod to LIRS?
You may need to get a proper reference letter from your supervisor or do statutory declaration.

yungmin:


I'm a civil Engr. Working in Abuja currently. I have worked with two other employers previously. My first was between 2012 - 2014. I have payslips, pension, tax, & testimonial letter from them. My next job was between 2014-2018. I also have payslips, tax, pension and reference letter. However, my headache is from my current job. I don't have my tax clearance yet. I have gone to the FCT-IRS with all my payslips and all, but they are requesting I bring a tax ticket from my office to confirm they have been remitting my tax. This is now taking a long process as I have been on it for more than two weeks. If I can boycott it, pls advise. I need to submit to EA asap. Thanks for your response
