How does Skill Select Works?

@psychoboy - Thanks for the profound explanation. 🙂 It seems like the selection is more stringent on 189. That means that you really have to invest in the areas that could give you more points.

@R_Yell thanks also 🙂

Correct - all the things that you can improve on (usually IELTS results), kung pwede magretake to get full 20 points retake lang... It can increase your chances lalo na kung border case ka lang sa passing.

Although they have lowered the points to 60 - the fact of the matter is, you need to aim high so you will be invited... 🙂

To put it simply, there is competition post July 2012 - goodluck! We just started ourselves... 🙂

^ yup he's right. Also, you would need to compete with other potential on-shore applicants (applicants holding temporary visas already in AU) who can claim additional points for the # of years they have spent studying or working in AU. 🙂

I think we may see this as good news:

· 900 invitations for Skilled Independents (subclass 189), comprising 450 on 1 September and 450 on 15 September; and

· 100 invitations for the Skilled Regional (Family) Sponsored (subclass 489), comprising 50 on 1 September and 50 on 15 September.

Details are in the link below:

All the best everyone! 😃

Hi Guys, I am not sure where to post this question pero taking my chances. I just recently decided to migrate to AU and now Im in the process of processing my requirements. Meaning 0 pa lang talaga.

I am a graduate of BSECE however I am working in a Technical Call Center company (dealing more in Computer Networking related concerns, more on Network Infrastructure WAN, LAN, VLAN etc). I am a Manager now and been here for almost 10 years. I just want to ask some advice on which Assessment Group should I submit my Assessment Requirements? I'm kinda puzzled if I can submit it thru ACS and if ok, should I select "Skills Assessment" or "RPL Assessment".

If Engineers Australia, hindi ko naman pinapractice yung course ko. And I tried to check on Call Center Manager post, nakalagay VETSSESS ang Assessment Body for this employment.

Do you think I should go on ACS or VETASSESS? Also, confirm ko lang din. If I file for Skill Select Subclass 489 (my cousin is willing to sponsor me), yung 2 years na provision ba ay included na sa 4 years requirement for Citizenship? After the 2 years kase you can file for Permanent Residency 887 and use at least 2 years for the Citizenship.

Hope I can get responses from you experts 🙂 Thank you

@Geoff Kung ano yung skill na i nonominate mo, pa assess ka dun sa corresponding assessing body. Kung may makita kang Skill na ACS ang assessing body at sa tingin mo malapit dun sa work mo, or previous responsibilities mo, then go for it. Like in my case, licensed ECE din po ako, pero malapit sa Software Engineer ang job ko, kaya yun ang ninominate ko at sa ACS ako nagpa-assess. Yun nga lang, 4 years ang required na experience for us ECE's kapag sa ACS, pero no need for RPL. IMO, mas matrabaho magpa assess sa EA dahil sa career episodes (explain mo talaga in detail yung engineering job) whereas sa ACS, compose mo lang yung duties and responsibilities in accordance dun sa definition ng Skill, at lagay mo sa Certificate of Employment (kasama ang ibang required na details like position, start/end dates, etc.), ok na. Positive naman yung result ko from ACS.

@Geoff I am no expert, but I will try to give some inputs here. I recently submitted my application to ACS (I am a BSCOE graduate). What makes us common is, I also work from Technical Call Center company for 6yrs, now doing Desktop/Network/Software packaging Support for 2 years and had the same dilemma before my skill assessment submission ( I am still waiting for the result and keeping my positivity here).

The factor that help me decide to which assessment body I should submit my skill assessment is whether the occupation I want to be assess is in SOL (I am aiming for visa 189).

As for your case, if both occupation is in SOL you can go for VETASSESS as you have a higher chance of getting a positive assessment because of your work experience.

For your question "If I file for Skill Select Subclass 489 (my cousin is willing to sponsor me), yung 2 years na provision ba ay included na sa 4 years requirement for Citizenship?"

I don't know the answer. Hehehe!

Good luck to us!

Geoff

Thanks @bmc_cpu and @RobertSG actually mas gusto ko magpa assess sa ACS, kase mas madali intindihin yung steps and requirements 🙂 I'm not that sure which occupation to select to nominate.

Another question would be, what's the difference between SOL and CSOL? According sa description ng mga visa kailangan mayroon kang inominate occupation na nasa SOL. If I'll be using my title now, wala siya sa SOL however nasa CSOL siya and VETASSESS nga daw ang dapat mag assess. Correct me if Im wrong, CSOL is only applicable if you will be nominated by a State or government, or looking further to enhance your skills by training. So meaning, hindi siya applicable sa akin if I am aiming for migrating and work permanently.

Do you think pwede ko inominate ang Computer Network and Systems Engineer for my qualifications?

For the document na needed, do we need to have it authenticated from Malacanang and DFA?

Thank you in advance

@Geoff

1) you can have your skills assessed by ACS. ECE is considered as an IT course, therefore you just only have to submit the normal "Skills assessment" and not RPL.. i suggest you read the other thread about ACS.

2) your current job title is not important. what is important is that your job description is related/closely related with the ANSZCO job code description.. so if you think you have the same job and you can get the job description from your HR.. then go for it..

3) You can choose any skill from either SOL and CSOL, if you chose from CSOL, you need to apply for a state nomination.. this is an extra step..

4) For ACS and DIAC's purposes, documents are not required to be authenticated by malacanang/dfa...

Geoff

Hi @lock_code2004 Thanks for the info.

For item #4, there's no need to seek authentication from dfa (red ribbon)? Do you mean I just ask for a new copy of my TOR (lets say for school) and then scan it and upload online for my ACS application? Sorry, I just wanted to confirm since I read from some threads that we should have it authenticated by a certifying body.

<blockquote rel="Geoff">Hi @lock_code2004 Thanks for the info.

@Geoff - certifying body can include mga notary public. You can opt to have your copies signed by one, just make sure may contact details sa abogado mo on top of his full name and signature.

BUT from what I gather on threads that I have stumbled upon, pwede na daw non-authenticated copy of your documents as long as these are scanned in full colors.

Hope this helps! 🙂

Regarding dfa authentication - yes.. hindi na po ito kailangan.... if you have original copy, you can have that photocopied, and then un ang ipa notarize mo..

yung statement po ni @psychoboy about original copy na colored scan, please validate if that is also acceptable sa ACS.. but definitely that is acceptable pag aapply na sa DIAC..

please double check sa current requirements ng ACS....

Geoff

Hi @psychoboy - So if I have the TOR and Diploma I had after graduation I can just go to any notary public for that? No need to request for a new copy from school? Would you know other document that I needed to seek authentication aside from the ones listed below?

TOR

Diploma

Certification of any trainings

Detailed Certificate of Employment

Black and White scan is not allowed?

Effective today na pala ang AUD 450 na ACS Assessment fee from AUD 400.

According to ACS Skills Assessment Guidelines for Applicants issued August 2012

"A document is a certified copy when the original document is photo copied or scanned and is signed by a person authorized to certify documents.

A stamp is required on the certified copy to signify that it is a true copy of the original document

The following information is required on each page of the certifying copy:

The words "Certified True Copy of the Original"
The signature of the certifying person
The name, date and provider or registration number or designation (eg. Police Officer) of the certifying person"

So I can just photo copy all my documents and then notarized and scan for the ACS Application upload?

lock_code2004

@geoff - yes....Take note: notarize the photocopy of the original document..
