Pls what is pro-rata occupation? meelife: Thanks for the clarification. So it means such job code can't apply for PR under the 189,190 and 489 subclass. Should someone complete a Masters programme in Australia for this job code can the person apply for PR or same conditions apply?

Tnx for your response I'm actually new...pls I need infor on visa 489 I know it state sponsored with 10points but what's the limitations... stifo2012: First and foremost, you need to read up the page 1 of the previous thread to better understand the whole process.
Find out the occupation from https://www.anzscosearch.com/mltssl/ which best descries and corresponds with what you do.
For the 190 visa, you can apply to multiple states as long as they are sponsoring it

Which state are u...pls what's your advice on visa 190 and 489 GoodMemory: To encourage others who are planning to move to Australia, here's my story and lessons from life Down Under
Landed Feb 2018 with the family. We struggled a bit to get accommodation, so we had an extended stay in a hotel. We eventually got one. How did we do it? Well, after several rejections, we resorted to Gumtree. We targeted adverts where present occupiers were looking for tenants to complete their lease terms. Landlords/Agents were less strict on documentation and particularly the much dreaded "rental history’. Within a few days, we got a place for about $350/week. So, first lesson: Don't get stuck with realestateview, try other avenues.
I had sent out many job applications offshore but none of them received the attention of recruiters and HR, but as soon as we landed, I started getting invitation for interviews. My tactics was to send the application late in the night or first thing in the morning. I found this was helpful as recruiters, most times respond to applications on first come first serve basis. I even tested these many times. Applications sent out in the afternoon received less attention when compared to the ones I submitted in the morning. Second lesson, timing is very important.
With regards to CVs, while good formatting, easy readability etc are very important, the content of your CV is far more important than anything else. Though I am an advocate of brevity, but an oversimplified CVs will not convey the proper message as well. The length of your CV should be proportional to the years of experience you have. If you have 10 years’ experience, I believe you will be doing yourself an injustice by submitting a 2-3-page CV. Lesson 3, a good, well formatted CV with great content will get you more interviews and consequently a job.
There are web hoisting platforms where you can create a free website for yourself. I developed a free one for myself and populated it with a lot of information. I even added photos and details that CVs would not accommodate. The free website was my complete profile. I then add the link to my CV. Think of special things you did for your previous companies. If you have proofs such as photos, testimonials, letters of commendation, upload on the website. It is free to create. Lesson 4: Market yourself apologetically.
There is a psychological aspect to job search in Australia. Your first barrier is the colour of your skin. You cannot change your race, so it is what it is. The second challenge are fellow Africans who are quick to advise you to dump your profession for something else. Well, while such advice might be coming from a good heart with a good intention, I personally feel you should try and try harder to clinch a job in your field before you try something else. You may have to attend more than one interviews so don’t be discouraged. I remember one job I was being considered for. I had aced the first two interviews; the last stage was to meet one of the directors of the company. I was confident I would get the job. The interviewer walked in, I stood up, shook hands with her and sat down. She re-positioned her PC monitor so I could see it and asked me to solve her problem. I am an advanced excel user, I even write VBA/macros. Even though that wasn’t the core job description, advanced knowledge of excel was part of it I floundered a bit, tried to think but while I was thinking, she walked to the door and held open the door. She said "it was nice meeting you!" I stood up and walked out without a word. You will receive several rejection emails but don’t get discouraged. Keep pushing you will get it. So, fourth lesson is: please don’t listen to naysayers! Do not listen to people who tell you that you cannot get a corporate job in Australia. I got a job right after the ugly encounter between the director and myself. My wife also got a job a few months after.
About groceries. We found it cheaper to eat Nigerian food. This is what I mean. Nigerian foodstuffs worth $300 lasts more than 6 weeks but an equivalent amount in Coles or any of the giant retailers, for example doesn’t even last one week. The only thing we buy in the big retail shops are non-edible stuffs toiletries and ijekuje(Biscuits..etc) Lesson 5: If you are an irredeemable lover of Nigerian food (which Nigerian isn’t anyway), invest in local food.
Public transportation is good but if you have a family, and can afford a car, buy one. With $2500, you can get a decent car to buy. Try as much as possible to buy a car that comes with a Road Worthy Certificate (RWC). I bought a car for $2500 without an RWC the week we landed. I can’t renew the registration since I must provide RWC and the cost of getting one after repairs on the car comes to $2000! So Lesson 6: buy a car with RWC.
Australia is an expensive country. At some point, you might find the need for a side job. I registered a company, though I haven’t done much because I travel a lot. I have met Africans who run their own thing and are very successful. If there is something you are passionate about, register a company and start right away. There are lots of potentials in Australian market. The stories of racism should be the least thing to deter you from going after your dreams.
I have to mention this. You might be surprised to find it hard to make friends here, especially with Africans. Don’t let it bother you. Just concentrate. There are friends I haven’t seen since I came. Everyone is busy or pretending to be busy. You will find instances where you want to meet a friend and he says, “hmmm...I will be free ending of next month”. Lol. You will be like “ending of next month? Are you traveling?’ He will reply: “No, I’m just busy, I have a few things to sort out”. Well, you have to get used to getting long notice before you can meet most people. Make friends with Africans and non Africans as well otherwise, you will be terribly bored. Try to make friends with everyone. Join clubs, do stuffs. Lesson 7: Don’t let anyone, especially fellow Africans restrict your enjoyment. Enjoy Australia. Life is too short.
Many things happened while trying to settle down, I do not have them handy, but as time goes on, I will update you guys. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Apologies bro, I don't reside in Adelaide anymore. |
Travel / Re: DIY Guide To Australian Permanent Resident Visa - Part 2 by Wesrene: 8:58pm On Mar 20, 2019 |
Pls what's the advantage of visa 489 over visa 190 I mean the benefits like health insurance etc Nicoletheo: Hello Fam,
Greetings to all.
Please what is positive skills assessment? I am 31 years old and single.
Going by the first page on this thread, see my status below.
Please feel free to advice me on any pitfalls to avoid. Kindly advice on the next steps
1. Check if your occupation is on the occupation list ICT Business Analysts(Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) ANZSCO codes assessed by the ACS)
2. Go to the website of the assessing body for your occupation for information about the assessment process Assessing body = ACS. Fee costs $500 Current Stage
3. Write English test. This step can come before skills assessment, it depends on the requirements of the assessing body for your occupation. Some do not require English test for assessment while others do. Proficient English(You have achieved a score of at least 7 in each of the four test components (speaking, reading, listening and writing) in an International English ) Score: L7, R6, W7.5, S8. Would rewrite IELTS
4. Once you get positive skills assessment, submit an expression of interest (EOI) here if you have minimum of 60 points for 189, 55 for 190 and 50 for 489. What is positive skills assessment?? Age = 30points Skilled employment in the last 10 years – outside Australia - 10points A Bachelor degree from an Australian educational institution or a Bachelor qualification, from another educational institution that is of a recognised standard. 15 To rewrite IELTS
5. If applying for 190 or 489, ensure a state is sponsoring your occupation before going ahead with the process.
6. After submitting EOI, wait for invitation to apply for the visa
7. Invitation received, apply for the visa and sit back till DHA finalises your application.
8. Grant received, pack your belongings and move. |

He got 70points without partners point but state point of 5 inclusive assuming it is visa 190 stifo2012: Please relax, you need to read the first page of this thread to understand some basics.
For the point calculator, use this https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/help-support/tools/points-calculator
For 189, you can work and live anywhere in Australia while for 190, you are expected to live and work in the sponsoring state for your first 2 years before you can relocate to another state.
State your point breakdown so it would be easy for people to advice you.

Pls what's the difference between visa 189 and 190 and which one has a higher benefit.. Pls reply o awonugaoluwadar: Good evening everyone,
so my partner and myself have been on the canada journey for a while but finally realized it's not for us, since we both don't have masters. we did our assessment with both EA and Vetassess and came out positive. Bellow is our point
1. Age-30 2. Experience -10 3. Education - 15 4. English test - 10 5. Spouse Experience - 5
I will want to know if we are fine for the 189 visa class or we need to take the English test and target 20 point which proves very difficult for us.
Oga Bellong and other oga's in the house kindly out. Thanks |
