About EA, I have a few questions:
1. How long will I have to wait before EA provide the result?
2. How do I know if my documents were received by EA?
3. Do I need to wait for the assessment of EA before I proceed with the skill select?
Thanks and more power!
Best regards.

Are you an engineer planning to migrate to Australia? If yes, let me give you a brief summary:
There is what I call a two step process: 1) skills assessment and 2) visa application.
STEP 1
1. You need to have your skills assessed by Engineers Australia. Please read this booklet: https://www.engineersaustralia.org.au/sites/default/files/shado/About Us/Migration Skills Assessment/migration_skills_assessment_booklet.pdf
However, before you apply for a skills assessment from EA, you need to have the following:
- Completed Application Form, with passport-style photo
- Application fee
- Form to appoint person to act as agent [if necessary]
- Certified true copy of passport bio-data page only (not the complete passport), and English language translation (if not in English) [Where this is not available, a copy of your Birth Certificate and/or National Identify Card may be acceptable in lieu]
- Certified true copy of name change document [If necessary]
- Original English language test (IELTS) result [if necessary]. You must arrange for this to be forwarded directly to Engineers Australia from the Test Centre.
- Curriculum Vitae (CV) / Resumé
- Certified true copy of academic testamur(s)
- Certified true copies of academic transcript(s)
- Certified evidence of registration under the relevant licensing authority in the country in which you are practising [if necessary] e.g. Philippine Regulations Commission
- Certified documentary evidence of employment [must be provided if you have relevant work experience of 12 months or more, or if the work experience provides a basis of a career episode(s)]
- A listing of Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
- CDR Declaration Page
- Three Career Episodes
- Summary Statement of evidence for the competency elements
- English language translations of above, where applicable
2. As soon as you receive a positive skills assessment from EA, you can now proceed to STEP 2: Visa Application.
I'll explain Step 2 later. For the time being, please read Migration Skills Assessment booklet as it will guide you on Step 1. For additional info, please check EA's website for migration skills assessment: https://www.engineersaustralia.org.au/about-us/migration-skills-assessment
