Hi Yash CA Articleship will definitely not be considered as valid work experience both the DIAC and the assessment authority (CPA/ICAA). If you include your articleship in your EOI and if points is awarded for the same, your application for visa will be rejected due to wrong details. You should look at changing your agent if he has advised you that CA Articleship will be counted as valid work experience.

I received an email from WA the same day of this message. Don't know if they are taking more time now.

Hi Lx, I am also moving to Perth in the first week of January and accomodation and job hunt are on top of my mind. Let us know how it goes for you. All the best. Regards, Rohit

Ha ha:tongue:

Congrats uma, nataraj and nomads!!! Fingers crossed for fowlerfamily and pswebb..

Congrats kimsdu!!!

Its strange that you have not been requested for PCC, it's a mandatory document for the visa grant. Nonetheless you can apply for PCC as it might take some time to obtain PCC.

Nope, they should be fine. My reference letter from ex-employer was more than a year old.

75 points - Didn't you think about 189? You would have got an invite in the next round, though the processing would have taken little longer. Anyways all the best with your SS application.

Reply which I received from the recruitment company: "Thank you for your interest in the A107261777 position we recently advertised and for your application. Unfortunately this position is open only to those applicants who are presently residing in this country, so we are unable to proceed further with your application at this stage. If your residential circumstances change, please do not hesitate to contact us when you arrive here in Australia as we often recruit for other similar roles. Alternatively, if you already have relocation plans in place, please email me or re-apply detailing your situation (arrival, residential location etc). Once again many thanks for your interest, we do realise that it would be ideal to find a position prior to your arrival, however, it is often difficult to do so. We look forward to hearing from you."

She can apply to CPAA or ICAA or NIA for assessment of skills (either for Accountant-General or Management Accountant)

Congrats Plutology!!! Have you claimed 5 points for partner skills?

Thank you..Be ready for your visa, you can hear about it anytime now!!!

Thanks LeslieF:biggrin:

Congrats FOL. Hope to see you in Perth next year!!!

Thanks Nomads. Have sent a PM.

I am thinking whether to make the move before or after Christmas. I don't want to spend the Christmas there without a job our trying for one.

Thanks dugles. They had asked additional evidence for work experience and I gave them the payslips. But they did not do any verification.

Yipee, woke up to see that I have been granted the visa!!!

Congrats!!! Can you tell which team was your CO from?

Congrats Katiem!!!

You would have a CO allocated, but they will contact only if they require any additional document. Maybe the first thing you hear from a CO will be about visa grant

Thank you..

Got an e-mail from the CO (from Team 2) asking for additional evidence of work experience. Replied back with the payslips and tax returns. I guess all other documents were okay and expect to hear about the visa grant next:biggrin:

Send them an e-mail after 4-5 days.
