Currently, doing Some odd jobs in Sydney. Not getting any headway on how to break the ice in offshore industry.

would appreciate your guidance on which company to approach and how is job market. 

Many thanks .

Most of the jobs are available for DP operators, no jobs are available on ocean going ships .
Which institute is offering DP course and estimated cost , if known .

Hi guys ...
Job scenario is really grim . Leave aside the job offers, I am really finding it difficult to get a interview call.

May be I am not trying with right employers or may be something is wrong with my resume . I have experience as a master but still no calls for interview .
Thinking about changing profession .
How about fellow recent arrivals, any luck with jobs.

Cheers

Has anyone been invited for job interview ? Things are really very slow.

Thanks Capt

Hi,
I was granted a visa in sep17. I applied in Apr17, could not update earlier due to unavailability of internet on my ship. Removal of skill is got nothing to do with processing time. All those who have applied before 31 July, stay positive grant is on the way.

Any good news from those whose application was in assessment stage on 01/07/2017.

Hi everyone 
I just checked SOL on website and found that All AMSA related jobs are removed. 
Sad

Good day All
After reading some of your comments am bit confused as to which PCC is required the country where you have your licence from and  or all the flag state of ships you sailed on.

 
I got my Indian PCC from Singapore , got it in 3-4 days. HKG takes 28+ days, all communication done by post. And, the HKG PCC will be sent over directly to the CO.
(Only if you have been employed with a company for 12 mths or more , including gaps, where the ships were registered in panama) - I suggest you email the panama consulate and followed up with a phone call. They are very clear on the PCC issuance only to people who have resided in the country. I requested they put the same in writing - email, which I sent to the CO. In case of panama, you could start the process even before the CO requests. Additionally, after you have received a written response, and AFTER you have made you 189 application, prepare a Commonwealth statutory declaration (can be found on the immmi site - Google for it). Remember to sign the declaration only in the presence of an Australian consulate officer.

Thank you sir!
I work in a management company. They have ships with all sorts of flags.
I guess I'll also check whether Marshall Islands also need a letter..

Yes AMSA stated I had over 10 years and I'd previously uploaded payslips, company letters, employment contracts, discharge book, everything you mentioned but they still wanted more.  I think I'm the end I uploaded all of my payslips.  
I never uploaded any photos.
Regarding the PCC's, I uploaded everything with the initial application including all PCC's I had and then the emails as evidence of me trying to obtain the rest.  They never mentioned it back in January, only recently they contacted me again for them.  So I'd say be prepared for them not to thoroughly check everything the first time as they might well come back and ask for more after the initial request for more docs.
Hope that helps.

Hi Adam,
First time in January when they asked for evidence of past employment did they also asked for PCC on the same checklist or they came back second time for PCC.

Cheers

Hi Adam,
Thax for the reply, hope you get your visa soon. can u pls advise what did u upload when they asked for evidence of past employment . I mean, AMSA must have mentioned your experience on the skill assessment letter .
In my case, I have uploaded employment contact , letters from my employers , discharge book with ships stamps , bank statements, intermittent payslip as I could not find most of them, tax return for last three years . I thinks should suffice the purpose . Moreover, I don't have anything else in addition if they ask for .

I have been quite luck with PCC, Malta & Bahamas police were quite generous to provide me with PCC in 15 days.

One more thing, did u upload your photos on immiaccount , I have not.
I ready on other forums that some people have .


Regards

It's hard to say Lali, although I would imagine that is it and you will just need to wait around 2-4 weeks for them to review the documents and hopefully will have the visa issued.
