Hi, I have some confusion regarding the ACS assessment. 1) I got the +ve assessment with 4 years of experience in May, 2012 and It is calculated from my first job, March 2008. This assessment is valid till 2014. Now my question is, Can I claim 5 years of experience with this assessment? Because March, 2013. my experience has reached 5 years in the Same company. 2) If yes then how can I claim additional 1 year of experience(ACS assessment 4 years + 1 more year)? 3) If no then what should I do now? 4) I already applied for reassessment for adding 1 more year in experience in 27, April. Actually, I didn't know the new ACS rules when applied for reassessment. So, if the assessment result shows in new format then it will deduct 2 years from my experience which will be invalidated their previous assessment. My question is, Can I use old assessment after reassessment result comes out? Because I need to claim points for 5 years experience. 5) If DIAC ask for the evidence for 5 years then how can I claim? If they dont agree with payslips, reference letter etc. then what should I do? 6) If DIAC dont give 5 years of experience then (3000+1500=4500)AD will be lost and visa will be banned for 3 years. Dear Senior expats and experts I need your support badly. Please assist me what should I do and what shouldn't . Regards Rumel

Hi Bindu, I already got this. But problem is that they can close any kind of occupation after reaching the occupation ceiling. There is no unlimited demand for each occupation. It is not possible to say they will reset it again. Because Canada already closed for IT people. But If we apply for state sponsorship then it will take almost 3 months which is after July and before that It will be closed or reset. I think this is very much risky. I dont know what to day..If any one have information please share. I am frustrated very much. Omar

I got the information that they will accept but problem is that it is taking long time for processing. Who has applied on November, 2012 didnt get any kind of information yet except the acknowledgement. I am little bit worried about the occupation ceiling. Because almost 80% completed for S/W Engineer. I dont know whether we can apply or not. It may be closed after this July once the occupation ceiling has been completed. Is there anyone who let me know what about the possibility to close the S/W engineer occupation? I am really frustrated. Regards Omar

Hi, I want to apply NSW for State sponsorship as a Software Engineer. I got 6 in each module(speaking, listening, reading, writing) of IELTS and have five years of experience on that field. Currently I have 55 points and I need 5 points more which I want to acquire from state sponsorship. I didnt get proper information like English proficiency for the specific occupation from your website. 1. Can I apply for state sponsorship as a Software Engineer with IELTS 6 (listening 6, reading 6, writing 6, speaking 6)? 2. Is there any precondition for Software Engineer? I have found the following information from New South Wales website. http://www.business.nsw.gov.au/live-and-work-in-nsw/visa-and-migration/skilled-sponsored-migration "English Language Applicants must sit the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) and score at least a six (6) on each of the four bands (Writing, Speaking, Listening, Reading). Certain occupations require a higher standard of English in order to obtain a positive skill assessment. Please refer to the assessing authorities' English language requirements" I have checked the requirements for English where band 6 in IELTS is mandatory. But some occupation requires higher standard of English in order to obtain positive skill assessment. I didn't get the occupation list which requires higher standard of English. For this, it is important to know that for state sponsorship from NSW, which occupation needs higher standard of English. Is it required higher than band 6 in IELTS for Software Engineer? I also checked the Occupation list where the Software Engineer is enlisted but option is crossed. I dont understand whether this occupation is still available or not. I hope I will get proper and detail information from you. Thanks in advance Omar
