[@Spruceofficial__]

Which of these pointers fascinated you the most? Tell me in the comment here👇🏽 and WHY?

[@OnyiisMoonlightTales]

It’s the last point for me 💯 Licensing is usually taken seriously in Abroad unlike in Nigeria/Africa where people manoeuvre and bribe their way to the top

[@kaseokoye6108]

thanks for the updates been following u up, recently relocated still trying to find my feet, any pointers on getting an IT job in a suburb in victoria?

[@Spruceofficial__]

@@OnyiisMoonlightTales​​⁠That’s why the system abroad is different and way more structured. When you meet a certified professional, you wouldn’t need to doubt

[@Spruceofficial__]

@@kaseokoye6108Welcome to Australia 🎉🎉

Thank you Emeka😊

[@robertumoh]

Great ideas

[@OnyiisMoonlightTales]

Thank you Robert🙏

[@AyomikunOgunmola]

You said the job opportunities in Australia are a lot, would it still be considered a lot if the healthcare sectors is excluded? Also are certifications needed for careers in engineering, data analysis, project management and the likes

[@Spruceofficial__]

@@AyomikunOgunmola Yes! Whilst the healthcare sector is one of the biggest employers of labour, other industries such as IT and manual skills are massive employers of labour too

[@Spruceofficial__]

@@AyomikunOgunmola yes, you will definitely need certifications to pursue your career in any of the courses you listed

[@rudolphtonga5961]

Thank you, would love to relocate to Australia

[@Spruceofficial__]

@@rudolphtonga5961 That’s a good decision

[@edscorner2827]

About the certifications , should it necessarily be from an Australian institution?

[@Spruceofficial__]

Yes in most cases, it has to be. There are very affordable institutions. The most important thing is that they are registered and recognised nationwide

[@edscorner2827]

@@Spruceofficial__ thank you for replying me. Can you please share some of these affordable institutions. I’m looking for a diploma in project management course

[@Spruceofficial__]

@@edscorner2827This again depends on where in Australia you find yourself. Not all institutions are across all states

[@edscorner2827]

@@Spruceofficial__oh I see . I looked at some TAFE institutions in Victoria but it seems they don’t cater to people outside Australia

[@Spruceofficial__]

@@edscorner2827No they don’t, TAFE is mainly for onshore students/applicants

[@PatsonTek]

Hello madam I come from Cameroon buy i live znd work in dubak since 2018 and i want to move over to Australia with a 1 year work visa. Please i want to know If i can have my PR after 1 year working in Australia ???

[@Spruceofficial__]

@@PatsonTek It’s not realistic but also not impossible

[@splendid9529]

Chai Australia, but why What of western New south wales

[@Spruceofficial__]

New South Wales has regional areas, it all depends on where you find yourself

[@PrincessOkoli]

So Nice

[@Spruceofficial__]

Many many thanks☺

[@OnyiisMoonlightTales]

It’s the last point for me 💯 Licensing is usually taken seriously in Abroad unlike in Nigeria/Africa where people manoeuvre and bribe their way to the top

[@Spruceofficial__]

It sure it. Most Nigerians/Africans find it difficult to adjust to the structure in abroad because of this

[@PremierLuzuryLifestyle]

How is the dating life for Nigerian guys in Australia , in my case am turning 30 next year and I want to get married asap, do you think dating life is easy over there or o should chill get a woman here get married before moving? Thanks for your response

[@PremierLuzuryLifestyle]

Am an introvert too

[@Spruceofficial__]

@@PremierLuzuryLifestyle To be honest, this is such a dicey question and I have been asked this a lot😂😂👇🏽

[@Spruceofficial__]

@@PremierLuzuryLifestyle There are a lot of good Nigerian women here in Australia (the number depends on where you are located in Australia) but there are definitely good, independent and well brought up young women who are ready to settle down too

[@Spruceofficial__]

@@PremierLuzuryLifestyle I think the real question is, do you have all the qualities for the kind of woman you are looking for? You know how they say it “you must be the good you seek in others”

[@Spruceofficial__]

@@PremierLuzuryLifestyle really? Are you looking to settle down too?

[@ebyike6713]

Hi, I'm planning to come to Australia for a Masters degree in Data Science. I am looking at applying to Charles Darwin University, but I'm not sure if it is in a regional area. The campuses the course is available at is Sydney & Danala-Education and Community Precinct. Please advice if the course is in Australia's Skilled Occupation List, and if the above university is in a regional area.

[@Spruceofficial__]

Hi Eby, firstly, your campus will determine if you are considered to be situated in a regional area. FYI, Sydney is not a regional area, however there are places around Sydney that are considered regional so you need to find out where exactly. You can google it as well

[@Spruceofficial__]

Secondly, data science is under IT, however not all courses are a priority under the skilled occupation list. You need to check the most recent list on the Australian website

[@ebyike6713]

Thanks alot for the reply. So, if the university decides to put me in the Sydney campus but I decided to rent an apartment in a regional area close to Sydney, will I also be considered to have studied in a regional area?

[@Spruceofficial__]

@@ebyike6713You have to live, study and work in a regional area in order to be qualified for the 5 points

[@zimcoder]

So if you are the head of a family and you make 350K AUD its not enough?

[@Spruceofficial__]

$350k AUD per year may be sustainable depending on your family size

[@kennedybunga399]

I think most people just live expensive lives. Even 200K with one or two kids is enough if you know how to spend and save.

[@Spruceofficial__]

@@kennedybunga399The truth is that most people want to live better than they would ordinarily live in their home country. That’s why they migrated afterall, for greener pastures and a better life.

[@Spruceofficial__]

@@kennedybunga399So, TBH, I don’t blame them, that’s why I said multiple streams of income is the only solution here if you want to live lavidaloca😂

[@Jhuliert70]

Above all, there is money in Australia

[@Spruceofficial__]

I like to think so too😂

[@vk-lc9xy]

​@@Spruceofficial__ don't like to think so, it's the reality. As long as you can work u will make good money. We're well paid than other countries

[@vk-lc9xy]

Yes, there is money here mate! If you are ready to work then you will make the money. And if you want to save more then move to more remote places where you could reduce your rent bill.
