[@CEOpaschal]

There's nothing like permanent residency visa. Also, you must have graduated from a university with Social Work degree first and get work experience before applying for PR

[@laurakawa6308]

I already have a degree..and 12years work expirience

[@lifewithchioma]

Hi Laura, yes if you already have a BSW and are able to meet the requirements for a positive skills assessment either through AASW or ACWA, you can apply for PR. You do not even necessarily need a masters, except you just want to. See the links in the description of this video to read more about the assessments. Thanks for watching

[@lifewithchioma]

Hi Hiruna, as long as you can meet the cut off of 65 points for skilled migration under an eligible occupation, it doesn't matter whether you have work experience after your studies or not. For someone from your educational background, you may need to study a diploma first before you will be accepted into the Master’s program.

Hii chioma .first of all thank you so much shearing your knowledge . I want to know ,is social worker bachelor degree in eazy for international students ...????

Thank you so much. I hold a of Psychology degree. I'm trained as a Life COACH. I wonder how would I put my career in the ACW assessment. Kindly reach out where I can contact you.

[@lifewithchioma]

You can only nominate the occupations that are eligible for PR through ACWA, and Life Coach isn't one of them. However, Psychologist is on the general Skilled Occupation List and eligible for PR through the 189 and 190 visas. The assessment authority is also different for Psychologists, so please look it up and see what requirements you need to fulfill. You can reach me on IG @chiomarthur

If by skilled visa you are referring to a PR visa, that is the preferred option in my opinion. But if you can't access that, the student visa route can be considered.

[@sannabaggesen4942]

Hi Chioma! Thank you for informing about ACWA, it seems like a great option! I would like to ask you a question. Since getting a skill assessment by ACWA limits one to only apply for the jobs in the list you showed, does that mean that if one would like to work as something else in social work, one will have to get the skill assessment from AASW? Or is there a different process for people who have already got a pr? Thank you very much and have a lovely day!

[@lifewithchioma]

The assessment is only for the purpose of applying for a visa. There is no restriction on what social work profession you can pursue, career wise

I have started doing diploma of community services which is not accredited but 2 years of diploma. I would like to know if I submit my application for skill assessment as community worker, and work 30 hours or more in a week with multiple organization, is it going to be ok? Or has to be only one organization for the accumulation of the weekly 30 hours which says on the ACWA site. Could you please clarify that. I don't have a bachelor's degree at all. Thanks heaps.

[@lifewithchioma]

My understanding is that your qualification must be from an accredited course in the first instance. About the 30 hours, I am not sure if you can accumulate that from multiple organisations. Maybe, email ACWA about this. Thanks

Hey Chioma, would you advise one to apply for the skills assessment before looking for a job or vice versa? Or you can just do them simultaneously (look for a job while you submit skills assessment)

[@lifewithchioma]

Except an employer is asking for an assessment, it's not a compulsory requirement for employment, but you may want to consider if evidence of a skills assessment will boost your CV. Use your discretion.

[@esthershegs8611]

Yes. But if you're going through ACWA, you can also meet English requirements through work experience and educational qualifications. Read more through the link in the description
