Sandhya Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Hi All, I am new to this forum. My husband has been successfully assessed by vetassess as a marketing specialist. Unfortunately its a limited occupation which means that we have to get it verified first before we can apply for SS. For the verification, we have to write a commitment letter to canberra. Would really appreciate any suggestions/tips on how to write one and any details that should be included.. Any help would truly truly be appreciated. Waiting eagerly sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting eagerly sandy Hi Sandhya, there is no specific format for commitment statement..it should be in a structured manner starting from why u r taking the decision to migrate, followed by compelling reasons of choosing Canberra over other cities...you can mention everything from climate to public transport, low traffic, commonalities with ur current city, culture etc.. you can give any reasons as in why Canberra’s lifestyle suits your way of life more than any other city in Australia. Hope that helps ! Be careful that it should not cross 2 pages ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somudra Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Hi All, I am new to this forum. My husband has been successfully assessed by vetassess as a marketing specialist.

Would really appreciate any suggestions/tips on how to write one and any details that should be included.. Any help would truly truly be appreciated. Waiting eagerly sandy I Think it will help you to prepare. My agent gave it to me. Please don't try to copy & paste from net, try to be creative & write your own. ACT government requires a “Statement demonstrating your commitment to living in Canberra for a minimum 2 year period.” The statement should include evidence that you have personally researched Canberra’s unique lifestyle, employment opportunities and family attractions and explain how they will suit your way of life more than any other city in Australia. They want you to tell them, in your own words, why you want to live in Canberra. Suggested content: • Why did you choose Canberra over the other options in Australia. eg. o Work opprtunities , o Canberra’s safety, size, clean environment , accommodation o other lifestyle attractions of Canberra over other places. How have you found living/studying/working in Canberra? What did you like about the lifestyle? Do you have friends/relatives who live in Canberra long term? Future plans. eg. To continue to work in Canberra and have a long term job in field of expertise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandhya Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 Thank you so much Somudra for your help. I have kinda put together a draft for the letter. As of now its about 3 pages long so i need to cut it down i guess. Is it appropriate to ask you if you could pm me the letter you sent. Not to copy it, just so i get an idea of how it should read. Its ok if you dont want to send it to me though. Thanks once again Sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you tell me what is the process and how long it takes.. Thanks a ton Sandy I have been living in Canberra for a number of years, so it definitely different from others who resides other states or from overseas. There is no specific format for writing commitment letter, just mention what do think about Canberra in terms of Job prospect, raise family, any family or friend connections etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishaan Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Sorry Guys.. I didnt mean that GIGANTIC font .. Was an accident ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somudra Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Sorry Guys.. I didnt mean that GIGANTIC font .. Was an accident ! gigantic fonts made me sick anyway......if you supply all the necessary documents ( each and everything, not missing any ) you will hear within 2-3 weeks about allocating a CO and within 30 days ( working ) you will get the outcome. Please don't contact with them before finishing 30 days. Sometimes they get delay due to huge number of applicant.My suggestion again, Please supply ALL the doc they asked. currently there are huge number of applicants and they are bit choosy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooops !! I must say its a Blunder !! Well, now the question is, is software engineer assessed under EA (Engineers Australia) or ACS (Australian Computer society) ? If its under ACS, then i guess you should file it under Software Engineer only. Why to waste any more time Sid ? You need the nomination irrespective of the Category.. !! If I would You, I would have continued with Software Engineer .. It's totally your call now ! Cheers !! And keep us posted mate ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
