Hi All,
Well I am planning to apply for a state sponsorship for ACT (Australian Capital Territory) as i want to apply for 176 visa. Actually I had some different plans of applying for 175 visa but after 3 unsuccessful attempts of IELTS i will settle for the 15 points which means I am 115 points so the option I have is state sponsorship and my ASCO code is also there in the demand list of Canberra.
Coming back to my question - I wanted to know about Canberra. How is the place?climate?people?job opportunities etc (If someone from Canberra help me out as I will be having an Obligation of stayin IN ACT for 2 years. Just want to hear something straight from the Horses mouth :)

Regards,
Abhijeet

hi ishaanchal
You have got rejection from Vic SS after a long wait period of 3 and half months, any reason given by Vic state for the rejection. I have applied for Vic SS as software tester on 9th March. I got ack from them on 12th Mar. Little worried as rejection is common in Vic SS.

Rejections are very Common in Victoria. Very simple reasons:

1) Victoria doesnt charges for nomination. So they get millions of applications.
2) They are getting very high caliber resumes.

So apply only if you have too good IELTS score, good number of years in same work field !

Regards & Luck

I am also planning to apply for ACT SS (waiting for Skill Assessment- lodged on 29th Jan '13) under Advertising Specialist category, slightly worried as the occupation is under "limited "for quite some time... Any idea how often ACT changes/update their list?

Cheers

Hey Bhanu,
Have you done Vetasses for Adv Spr... If not you can check for Advertising Manager-Code 131113. There is something called occupation ceiling, which is also high for Advertising Manager.
Even if you have done Vetasses, you can do it for one more occupation, only thing is you will have shell out additional 600 AUD. If you do within 30 days, it will cost you 500 AUD.

Hope this helps.

Advertising manager and advertising specialist, they are closely related but yet they are different.. and more over my agent told me I fit more in advertising spl as I work on agency side..

.

Oh. Same was my case, but I took chance. And got my skill assessment done for one more code.
Or else you can wait for Adv Specialist to open, usually ACT revise their list annually, around July.
All the best.
 
#19 ·
But I can still apply before the occupation get closed.. its still limited, just confirmed.. hope it stays for next couple of weeks...
Btw have u lodged you application, yet..

hi bhanu, can u tell me about the ACT verification that u have mentioned in your signature.i was wondering if i should file for my EOI and state sponsorship before the ACT occupation list comes out.

Hey there. Im not sure how much to be shown. But my consultant asked me to show them atleast Australian $40,000 and I've shown them in the form of fixed Deposits !

Good Luck !

Sir, I must say you've got some nice scores !! As per my knowledge, i personally dont think you'll be facing any problem. It's actually not about the Work-Ex and IELTS score, its how you present your case to them.

Please do not set a very high expectation, you should have heaps of patience as Victoria takes a hell lots of time to process the nomination application.

Good Luck. !!

I Got my PR Visa Granted on 12 Aug 2013. I was thrilled and ecstatic when i saw the mail for a day. Now the apprehension is starting to set in, as all i know right now, is that its going to be a major change to me, my 3yr kid and husband and the job prospect is not good.

All the best!!!
