TRA Assessment Form

Megger · May 2018

@littlemsnanay , 2016 yong assessment ko. I paste a portion of my result below:

This assessment confirms that:

1. Your Bachelor of Science in --------- qualification was assessed for the purposes of a Migration Skills Assessment as comparable to at least an AQF Diploma relevant to your nominated occupation; and

2. Your employment evidence meets the TRA requirements of working in the nominated occupation for a minimum of three years at trade level and meets the currency requirement.

Please note this letter does not represent formal accreditation of your skills and experience.

@Megger naku walang ganyan yung akin..I guess nagbago sila ng format ng assessment result... Di pa din sila nagreply sa email ko, wait ko muna...pero salamat sa pagshare ng report mo..

Eto ung reply sakin ng TRA :

"In relation to claiming points for a visa application, you are advised to check with the Department of Home Affairs (Home Affairs) (www.homeaffairs.gov.au) in the first instance. If the Department of Home Affairs (Home Affairs) advise that points advice is required for your nominated visa, then this can be obtained through the Migration Points Advice (MPA) service with Trades Recognition Australia (TRA). However, it is recommended that you contact the Department of Home Affairs (Home Affairs)."

Hmmm..

@littlemsnanay , try mo na rin siguro as per advise. kunti nalang yan, palapit nang palapit sa visa. God bless..

Hi Guys,

I have a problem yung employer ko kasi for 2+ years di nagremit ng SSS contribution ko though meron kaltas na nakaindicate sa payslip. Are there any other ways kung pano ipprove na legit yung employment ko aside sa proof ng SSS contribution? Any advise? Thanks.

@mark7009 same tayo ng dillema. successful naman outcome letter pero sa date of graduate nila inilagay yung date ng start of work ko. so ang worry ko lang pano malalaman sa home affairs yung tamang length of working experience ko. nag tanong din ako sa TRA and parang ang advise nila is to get maigration point advise if gusto ko tlga malaman ang iclclaim ko. see belwo sa reply nila

"The purpose of a TRA Migration Skills Assessment is to determine whether your qualifications, skills and employment experience are comparable with and relevant to the Australian industry standards for a skilled worker in your nominated occupation. TRA requires evidence of skilled employment for three years after the award of a comparable qualification. You applied for a Migration Skills Assessment and you were forwarded a successful outcome on 9 June 2018.

TRA includes on its MSA outcome letter a date at which TRA considered that the applicant was first able to work in skilled employment in their occupation. This can assist applicants who are applying for a points-based visa.

The purpose of TRA Migration Points Advice (MPA) is to provide advice regarding qualifications and specific periods of employment over the past ten years. Following a TRA Migration Points Advice assessment, TRA will issue a letter with advice for use in a skilled migration application to the Department of Home Affairs. TRA does not calculate your available points. The awarding of points for the skilled migration points test remains at the discretion of delegated officers of DIBP.

MPA applicant’s must have a successful migration skills assessment from TRA or a TRA approved training provider prior to lodging an application for points advice. You are eligible to submit an application for points advice to TRA if you have a successful migration skills assessment and you require points advice for your visa application.

You should check with the Department of Home Affairs (Home affairs) www.homeaffairs.gov.au to confirm that you require points advice before lodging a TRA Migration Points Advice (MPA) application.

If after checking with the Department of Home Affairs you require MPA you are not required to resubmit documents already provided with the previous applications. Please ensure you quote your TRA reference number at Part 1 of the MPA Application Form. "

Hi jj35751, first of all congratulations sa successful assessment!

Ang sabi ng iba, which is what I did sa EOI, is to only claim for the right number of years based on the actual employment.

Better than claiming for all the years according to TRA and then being rejected by the Depart ment of Home Affairs.

Thanks

jj35751 · June 2018

@mark7009 likewise and thanks.

Problem is sa website ng home affairs stated is to claim the date said by your assessing body.

https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/Visas/supporting/Pages/skilled/skilled-employment.aspx

Although i think mas proper nga na gamitin yung actual. Ask ko nalang din, nagpasa ka pa rin ba ng employment documents( payslip, certificate of employment, etc) sa home affairs in your EOI? may mga kilala kase ako, although through ACS sila, hindi na daw nila pinasa since nasa letter na from ACS.

mark7009 · June 2018

@jj35751 wala pa ipapasa sa submission ng EOI. Pag na invite na, dun na ata. (Wala pako dun hehe)

jj35751 · June 2018

@mark7009 sorry, i mean nga dun sa apply ng visa na stuck lng sa utak ko EOI since dun pa rin ako kase hindi pa ako tapos sa english test. anyway goodluck bro, sana ma invite ka na, and sana ako din hehe.

But if ever you got invited, mag susubmit ka pa nung mga documents as proof to your employment?

mark7009 · June 2018

I believe so bro. Let's wait for the others to reply para based on actual experience.

Good luck sa atin lahat!

Megger · June 2018

@jj35751 , Once you recieve the invitation (ITA), you will submit the documents to prove your claims.

God bless sa application Bro.

RheaMARN1171933 · June 2018

@jj35751 you can only claim work experience within the last 10 years as that’s what immigration will take into account. So in short, you’re only able to claim from June 2008 to present if you lodge you EOI now. Good luck.

kam0te1013 · June 2018

mam/sir, clarification lang po about payslip. do you need submit 3 sets of payslip per year for each employer or 3 sets of payslip per employer regardless kung gaano ka katagal sa employer mo? Thanks in advance!

Megger · June 2018

@kam0te1013 , cant remember reading na may minimum number of payslip per year, pero what I did, I submitted one payslip each year sa current company ko, since available siya. Then yong sa Pinas since wala na akong payslip, I submitted SSS contribution. Bale dalawang sheet yong sa SSS,summary ng companies, the other one is how much was the contribution.

greysworld123 · June 2018

hello po mga sir and mam, ask ko lang po, napansin ko po kasi na ung 342314 na code ay nasa visa 489 ng nsw na lang wala na sa 190. altho nasa NT pa ren sha..

Does it mean po ba na sa incoming July wala na tlg sha sa list ng NSW for visa 190? thank u po.

kam0te1013 · June 2018

@Megger , boss thank you for your input. eto po yung nasa guidelines ng TRA. i guess i will provide 1 payslip nalang per year per employer.

Sets of documents for each year of employment
claimed from two of the categories below:

 official government tax records or documents
that may include payment summaries, group
certificates or notices of assessment

 three payslips citing names of the employer
and employee

 superannuation documents citing the names
of the applicant and employer

 bank statements with the employer’s name
and clearly showing income has been
deposited

Megger · June 2018

@kam0te1013 , if you will claim more than 3 years in that employer then you will have more than 3 payslips kung per year ang ibibigay mo. Otherwise, in my opinion provide at least 3 payslips. Goodluck sa process Bro.

@RheaMARN1171933
Question po, I earned my trade diploma in 2007 then I worked from 2007-2009.
I decided to study again in 2009 til I got my degree in 2014 and back to work again up to present.

Macoconsider parin ba yung working experience ko from 2007-2009 kung ng iclaim ko ung degree ko for +5points through VETASSESS PTA kahit na prior yung experience sa degree? Thanks po.

ranier1337 · July 2018

Hi guys,
Question lang po regarding sa employer template. May field po kasi dun sa Employment Details na Date commenced at Date completed. Kung presently working pa po sa company, ano pong nilalagay nyo sa date completed? date lang po kasi inaaccept pag ineencode ko. Tanungin ko na din po pala kung anong nilalagay nyo sa salary, $ po kasi yung unit pero sa supporting documents ko eh ibang currency. Kinoconvert nyo pa po ba sa dollars tsaka annual po ba nilalagay nyo o monthly? Thanks po.

Magpapasa po ule ako ng panibago, unsuccessful una kong application (312312 - Electrical Engineering Technician), Advanced Diploma ang required, kala ko uubra yung 2 yrs Certificate ko sa Electrical technology kasi matched naman sa required nila yung job description ko. Sayang, ang laki pero gusto ko pa magtake ng isa pang chance, baka makapasa sa 342315 - ELECTRONICS TRADES WORKERS (Special Class).

jj35751 · July 2018

@Megger @RheaMARN1171933 thanks sa input.

Pero my problem is pina-assess ko lang sa TRA is my october 1, 2012 - Sep 17, 2017 work experience ( 4 years lang bali lumalabas sa EOI, which is sad as i really expect this to be 5 years work experience)

I also have a jun 2011 to sep 2012 work experience, which btw i didn't include in my assessment since i don't have an itr and payslips from that employer, because i was young and dumb back then haha..

should i include my 2011-2012 work experience in my EOI as related work experience? since nakalagay sa Outcome letter ko is i commence work at feb 2011 (date i graduated not really worked).

Megger · July 2018

@jj35751, in cases na wala kang standard docs to prove your claim, pwede ka namang gumawa ng statutory declaration. Yon nga lang dapat meron kang docs that atleast can be traced to that claim like normal Certificate of employment, or SSS contribution, etc.

jj35751 · July 2018

@Megger

i have a COE for my first job ( 2011 - 2012).

pero i did not include it sa TRA assessment ko, since un nga ITR and payslip concerns.

So I'm torn if i should include it sa EOI ko as a related sa nominated skill ko. But technically related sya, just not assessed by TRA since hindi ko sya dineclare sa TRA

Megger · July 2018

@jj35751 , Im curious hows your TRA assessment result look like, specially dun sa date na nag strat yong skill mo. Yong akin kasi nag start sya dun sa Graduation date ko sa college.

jj35751 · July 2018

@Megger seems like ganun talaga ginagawa nila since ganun din sakin. Feb 2011 ang nakalagay sken which is my date of graduation.

Megger · July 2018

@jj35751 , sa palagay ko, doon na sa lodging magdetermine talaga kung ilang years ang maclaim mo, ang DIBP parin namn talaga ang may final say kung ilang years ang accredited para sa points claim. My suggestion is produce the required documents that can prove your claim at isama mo dun sa lodging mo.

jj35751 · July 2018

@Megger I see, thanks for that. so if ever they consider my 4 years and 11 months experience to be a 5 years experience my 70 points EOI will be converted to 75 when they invite me?

understood correctly ko ba? heheh..

RheaMARN1171933 · July 2018

@Megger @jj35751 be very careful with this approach. In case DHA won’t recognise the Work experience which you didn’t include in your skills assessment application, you may potentially have your visa application denied if you over claim points. I would seriously advice you to consult an expert.

Megger · July 2018

@RheaMARN1171933 , ok good na niraise mo yong concern, so ano ang advise mo? malinaw naman ang tanong, either to claim or not to claim. TIA sa reply. Interested din akong malaman.

RheaMARN1171933 · July 2018

@Megger It may look like a clear question to you but for a professional, it requires detailed information to provide a specific answer...something, out of ethical practice I would hesitate to provide simply because the information provided wasn’t sufficient at all. I believe my advise was very clear earlier, to be very careful and to consult an expert about it privately as such cannot be easily discussed via this forum. May mga kailangan i-check and i-analyse before concluding.

If you have been following my posts, I’m generous when it comes with providing info/guidance. I only do this when the situation is pretty clear - black and white. On this occasion it’s not a straightforward answer due to reasons mentioned above and it will be irresponsible of me to even provide guidance on something with not much facts provided.
