Life with Chioma

Life with Chioma

At least one video a week.

Come sit with me as I share everything I know in my experience of migrating to Australia from Nigeria.

You can expect topics related to immigration, studying, employment, family life and everything in between, so bring your burning questions and I'll do my best to answer them (Disclaimer: I am not a registered migration agent but I can share what I know, and it is a lot!)

    Have you ever considered that the black Africans coming to Australia (started to move over in big numbers mid 80's) might be racist themselves?I can tell you i believe they are.A little story,I went with a lady from Mozambique after she arrived in Perth for some years and mixed regularly with her friends.And guess what,they didn't want anything to do with our indigenous Australians.I won't go in to the reasons for this but all i can say is well like you said "it's time to move on",we can understand the differences and that's all this rubbish about racism is about.Blacks need to be honest and come out and tell the truth.

    You should have used the "Legal System" to explain the law, and not human rights. Human Rights is very small/niche area and Legal System would explain everything more you are explaining in a whole. I also live in Australia and everything else you have said is true! By the way am an accountant and mortgage broker if any established Nigerian or African in Australia seeking any form of loan or mortgage. I also give free financial advice, that is only because I do not have the licence yet to operate as one. Please reach out to me if you need help.

    Thanks for this again, super helpful Chioma. However for the first point, I think AHPRA strongly considers medical job experience, and specialities in the medical field. They allow you to come over easier and help you possibly continue from where you stopped to the best of their abilities. For example, I am a pharmacist, industrial pharmacists with over 10 years of experience do not write the exams we write and are given permanent residence right away, with crazy pay haha. Same applies to specialist doctors😅. But I completely get you of course. I have a question btw 🙏🏽🙏🏽I am trying to come over with a work Visa, I have a younger sister of 18 years old whom I'm supporting in upkeep, do you think it's possible to do a dependent visa for her?? I do not have a visa agent and I know what my migration process is like for the most part but this part is a riddle for me🙏🏽😭

  • @lifewithchioma
    @lifewithchioma2 күн бұрын

    Thanks for sharing that insight about some other medical professionals. Good to know. About your sister, I really am not sure. In some cases, dependents can be up to 21 years of age if you can prove that their dependency is due to exceptional circumstances eg disability. Unfortunately, I don't know more than that. I hope you find answers.

    Thanks for sharing your views on this key topic Chioma. I find myself in the first example you mentioned.. I am Canadian living in Canada, great job for an int’l organization, travel benefits, etc. however I finally became an Australian PR earlier this year and thinking about leaving everything behind to make the big move terrifies me, especially knowing how much Australians appreciate local work experience which I lack right now. Hopefully it won’t be too much of a hardship, 🤞

  • @lifewithchioma

    Oh, I can understand your concerns. Perhaps you can do a slow transition and take an extended visit to Australia and see firsthand what the prospects are in your profession, network and gain some knowledge before you make the big move?🤷 Having PR is also an advantage as it gives employers more confidence that you're a stable resident. Goodluck to you.

    In relation to student dependants (MSc) in Australia, it took me a while to realise that the Australian government set up the VEVO check to restrict dependants who are professionals, to pursue their professional careers. On paper, they're supposed to have 'full work rights' but their VEVO states otherwise thereby restricting them. The system has been designed to frustrate such people.

  • @lifewithchioma

    I’m not familiar with these immigration issues, however, as an Australian I think we would not want to import people whose qualifications would put them in competition with Australian citizens with equivalent qualifications. We bring in those who fill workforce gaps, rather than residents who will just add to the glut in certain fields. So immigrant visas restrict those whose fields are to be left available for Aussie citizens. Seems reasonable to me as an Australian citizen.

  • @taiwoomotosho2868

    @@coraliemoller3896 I absolutely agree with your stance on temporary residents competing with Australian citizens with equivalent qualifications. As regards 'full work rights', I think the immigration department should be transparent enough to state what their context of full work right is on their website assuming it is exactly how you stated it. What is on the visas absolutely contradicts what is displayed on VEVO. I and many other dependants have been hoodwinked into thinking full work rights cuts across all sectors and that is quite frustrating.

    @@taiwoomotosho2868 I see your point. I regularly watch vlogs from Brits here helping others just starting the visa process. The rules keep changing but Brits have advantages. But each May we have a new national budget to address pressing problems. Accommodation & construction failures impact on housing prices at all levels, and building including government infrastructure: hospitals, schools, metros, roads, etc. Immigration impacts on all these factors, and locations like the capital cities are always in severe deficit. We need the skilled migrants but housing them near available jobs is difficult. Locals can’t afford rents or mortgages so immigrants are at end of line. Recent budget battles about immigrant levels versus existing housing and amenities are not new. Government red tape & taxes from various agencies are strangling construction companies to bankruptcy. Politicians who never worked outside union or public service jobs have no idea how to get out of the way and let businesses be productive.
