My employer might not give roles and responsibilities.. for employee reference letter from colleague, can anybody share the format. Bit urgent

A colleague cannot issue a reference letter
He can issue a statutory declaration
Moreover, a colleague should be used only as the last desperate attempt
It should be issued by a manager supervisor or team leader

The format for SD is given on the ACS website

if a colleague gives such declaration, would that get less weightage? What all are chances of getting positive result.

And also, it would be good if somebody shares roles and responsibilities at Software engineer / System analyst codes

Of course a colleague will get less weightage
Moreover the department will scrutinise it much more severely then it would in other cases

You have to give your true RNR and not what someone recommends you give

There is no such thing as "less weightage".

if it is a properly prepared SD from a properly designated individual and your employment is also supported by other evidence such as pay slips and taxes (which you advised to provide anyway) then it will work all the same.

A company reference is always preferred. In my case I shared a company reference for 1 company and a SD from a senior colleague for another company. And yes it worked out ok

Hello Zaback21 great work mate.. you have been doing really well by helping everyone with their queries.

was just going through one of your older posts about PR, EOI, and other things here you mentioned something about pro rata see below excerpt from your post. well Pro rata would mean divided/proportion. It does not mean first come first serve as you mentioned. say if 1200 seats are available for a particular ANZSCO code it is divided into 12 month 2 rounds per month hence under pro rata it would mean 120 applicants would get their ITA per month and 60 per round

"What is Pro Rata, Cut-off points, Cut-off date and Occupation Ceilings ?

Pro Rata is like first come first serve basis. So, whoever applied first or in DIBP case, whoever’s DOE is earlier, gets it earlier. Pro rata happens if there are more people waiting on a certain point than the number of invite available. "

I get a lot of questions regarding PR, EOI, Skills Assessment and I also had a lot of questions when I first started my PR Process. These are some of the things I learned. All are my personal opinions so if it is wrong or anything, do let me know.

What is PR ?

PR=Permanent Residency

So, what is the 1st thing I should do ?

Try find out which occupation closely matches your occupation and get an assessment from your relevant Assessing Authority. You can find it next to your occupation in the SOL or CSOL list.

Skilled Occupations List (SOL) for 189

CSOL: https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Work...ng-authorities/skilled-occupations-lists/CSOL for 190.

What is SOL, CSOL, 189, 190, 489 or State Nomination ?

Skilled Occupations List (SOL) is the list of occupations which allows you to submit EOI and get an invite in 189 Visa. If it isn’t SOL, you can’t get 189 visa but you may find your occupation still in CSOL for 190 Visa

Consolidated Sponsored Occupations List (CSOL) https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Work...ng-authorities/skilled-occupations-lists/CSOL is the list of occupations which allows you to submit EOI and get an invite in 190 Visa. Even if your occupation is in CSOL, it may not be in states own occupation list. Yes, each state has its own occupation list, so you need to check them and find their requirements.

189 Visa: Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189)

190 Visa: Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190)

489: https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/489-

189 and 190 basically has the same points system with the only difference between 5 extra points from state. Same for 189 with 489 which awards 10 extra points.

State Nomination:

How do I apply one ?

Read about the requirements of each state: https://skillselect.govspace.gov.au/2013/04/26/i-am-seeking-state-or-territory-government-nomination

NSW 190: What’s so special about it?

Only NSW state doesn’t have any requirements like you need to apply to them asking for approval or such. They also don’t have any requirements like you studied in that particular state, or certain years of work experience. If you are fine for 189, you are fine for 190 most likely. Check to see if your occupation is in NSW list. They also sends the most invite among all the states. This information is for 2016-17 only. Skilled nominated migration (190) - Live & Work in New South Wales

Where and when does new SOL is released ?

The Department of Education and Training releases new SOL every year usually between mid May to early June. https://www.education.gov.au/skilled-occupation-list

Points:

Do I have enough points ?

You need 60 points for a 189 invite if not pro rata and 55 for 190. Click on Points test section here : Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189)

How long do I have to wait for an invite ?

If your occupation is not pro rata, then you get invited in the next invitation round once you reach 60 points for 189 and submit EOI. Invitation round happens every 14 days on Wednesday at 12:00 am Sydney time. So, max number of days you need to wait to get invited is 14 days if your occupation is not pro rata.

What is Pro Rata, Cut-off points, Cut-off date and Occupation Ceilings ?

Pro Rata is like first come first serve basis. So, whoever applied first or in DIBP case, whoever’s DOE is earlier, gets it earlier. Pro rata happens if there are more people waiting on a certain point than the number of invite available.

Cut-off Points: The minimum points you require to get invite. If there are too many people, then it goes higher. For Accounting and Auditors it is 70. For 2335, 2339, 2611, 2613, 2631 it is 65 and so on.

Cut-off Date is the date before which if one applied (DOE) would get the invite if they have the cut-off points.

Occupation Ceilings is the maximum number of occupation group that can be invited each year in 189 visa. Check in here : SkillSelect
190 Visa is not under Occupation Ceilings. But NSW state usually sends a total of 4000 invites (for 2016-17). Other states has their own quota.

PTE-A or IELTS ?

Go for PTE-A if you are aiming for 79+ or 8+ IELTS Level. If you are aiming for 65+ or 7+ IELTS level, then there’s not much difference.

PTE is usually for those who are strong at Reading and Listening but can’t get the required mark in Speaking and Writing due to biased human marking in IELTS. If you are good at Speaking and Writing but not in Reading and Listening, then you may find PTE-A more difficult.

Hi zack,

I have submitted 3 EOIs, one will expire on august 14th, and the other two with both 189 and 190 for nsw and vic submitted on june 1st.
I have 65 points and 70 with SS on code 263111.
As the cutoff is 70 for 26311, does it mean that i will not be invited by DIBP?
Do you recommed me going for PTE and secure 20 points? Or just patience and wait for an invite or SS.
Thank you

The cut-off will come down to 65 soon. Depending on your Date of Effect you may receive invite. Wait for 1-2 more rounds for it come down to 65.

If you can do PTE, then go for it.

request for Information

Hi Friends,

I have a question. I wish to apply for 189 visa category from India. I worked for a company for 1.5 years but the company got into financial issues and does not respond via email or phone. My concern here is that they will not issue me an experience letter along with roles and responsibilities as per the visa requirement. In addition, when the Canadian Immigration does my background verification, they might not respond which might result in cancelling my invite altogether. Please suggest what I can do about it?

Thanks in advance!

You have posted by mistake in the Australian chapter of the Expat forum

You need to post it in the Canada chapter

I was confused as by mistake you have written Canadian immigration instead of Australian immigration in the original post

What all evidence do you have for the period that you worked here

Salary slips
PF deductions statements
Salary credited bank statements
Form 16 A and 26 AS
Income tax assessment?

How important in your points score is this 1.5 years experience, ?
Can you think of not claiming points for this ?

Cheers

 

[Lokesh1984]

Thanks for your reply!

I have the following documents
Salary slips showing PF deductions
Salary credited bank statements
Form 16
I did not file ITR for that year? Is that a requirement?

If I include this experience, I will have approx 5 yrs of experience and without it I will only have 3.5 yrs of experience. I don't know how much of a difference it will make to my profile? Please suggest!
