Varian Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Hi my jois on the csol 149913 facilities manager, we are looking for state sponsorship but the Perth list has still not been realised, Can I express a EOI in the hope that a state or company sees it and wishes to sponsor me? thanks.

Val Tibenham Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 That's the whole idea of the new system Varian - you complete your EOI and it is then available for both the states and employers to see. When completing the EOI it will ask you for which states you wish to be considered for. Some states are stating that they will only offer sponsorship to people who have only selected their state - for instance, if you select WA, SA and QLD as states that you are interested in, SA will not even consider your application.

Gareth 666 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Hi, I've just joined up as we're looking to escape to Oz and this seemed a good place for advice. I've had a good look through this thread and I was wondering if anyone could shed a little light on something please. My job is in schedule 2 so I guess I needed to apply for Skilled-Nominated sub class 190? If I am correct in this assumption, the way I read the description on Skillselect, once I've applied and, hopefully, been accepted, we can move to anywhere in Oz. Is this right or do we have to go to the nominated state for a set period? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Levimouse Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 You have to agree to stay in the nominated state for two years. It's kind of why they nominate you in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth 666 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Hi, thanks for that. The skillselect site says nothing about minimum stay in the nominated state, although I couldn't see why the state would nominate you if you were going to go elsewhere. I see that if you don't apply after receiving 2 invites then you are removed from Skillselect, but how do you know what states to apply to for your job type? Is there a site you can visit that gives state ceilings as well as national ones? In other words, can you submit several EOI's naming different states then see what comes back? If so and say 3 states sent invites, would you automatically be removed from Skillselect as you'd not applied after receiving 2 invites? Sorry if this is a bit long winded but I'm a touch confused by the way they've worded the whole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Levimouse Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 All of the states will have a list of occupations they'll sponsor on their websites, so have a look at those first. When you submit your EOI you can either select a state to sponsor you or select 'no preference' so you are open to all states. However a word of caution, some states (I think Queensland for definite) will not sponsor you if you select 'no preference' so I would say it pays to research the states 1st and pick which one you want to be sponsored by. So I knew that only SA and WA will sponsor me so did some research and have decided on WA. If you select no preference and 3 states will nominate you I don't think you get 3 invites. It'll just be 1 invite stating which states will sponsor you and therefore you have to pick one. As this is a new process it is still confusing as to how the process works. So for us we will lodge our EOI then make our application on the WA site for their sponsorship (they ask for the EOI reference or something). If that application is successful then we will get an instant update. However I cannot see how this will work with the no preference option. If you state no preference then how do you go and apply for any particular state and thus get an invite? You wouldn't apply to all direct as they charge $200 for it! I hope at least some of that was helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gareth 666 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) Thank you Levimouse, that does help. We've been thinking about making the jump for a year or more, been trying to sort some work qualifications out, and now we're in a position to do it they've changed it all!!!!! I notice my wife will have to take IELTS as well to prove functional English, does anyone know if she has to take hers before the EOI is submitted or can it wait until any invite. Obvoiusly I'm gonna have to do mine before to ensure all is right in case of a swift invite but we didn't want to have to fork out another £125 straight away in case nothing comes of our application then it's money down the drain. BTW, as this is quite a new system, has anyone had any sucess with it yet and if so is it cutting down the time as hoped?

Guest Levimouse Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Happy to help gbuss. Does your wife definitely have to take the IELTS? Does she not have a British passport? I do not know for certain but I imagine that if it is going to be your visa (with your wife just added onto it) then you can submit an EOI before she does the IELTS. However if you are claiming visa points from her as well (i.e. it's a joint application) then you probably have to get her IELTS done before the EOI. To be honest I would contact a reputable migration agent just to clarify where you stand. Ian Harrop, Visa Bureau and GoMatilda are highly recommended on here. I can personally recommend Ian Harrop.

Gareth 666 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Ah, Ive just re-read the requirements to prove functional English and I previously missed the bullet point about having English as her first language and holding a U.K passport. Looks like £125 saved :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lebourvellec Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Welcome to PIO. Having family in Brisbane, they will not be able to sponsor you, as for family to be sponsors your require an occupation on SOL 1 and the sponsors must live in regional australia. Office Manager was removed from the SOL 1 July 2012. Speak to a registered migration agent - to see if with your job there is another occupation code that you may be able to gain a positve skills assessment for.

me1 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/F2012L01451 The Consolidated Sponsored Occupation List (CSOL), is a single list of occupations for employer sponsored and State / Territory nominated skilled visa Subclasses. The CSOL replaces the Employer Nominated Scheme (ENS), Temporary Business (Long Stay - Subclass 457), and General Skilled Migration (GSM) State / Territory nominated Skilled Occupations Lists.

Alan Collett Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 Hello me1. At the risk of being a hostage to fortune, I am not expecting the occupation Office Manager to be put back on the SOL or CSOL any time soon. Maybe discuss with your agent possible alternative occupations that will help achieve the desired end for you. Best regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth 666 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 A bit of a qualification question if anyone can help please. Although I've been employed in my trade for over 20 years, all my training to date has been 'on the job'. I have been able to start a level 3 nvq to support my application but this will not be completed until this December and will then take time to get TRA recognisation. I do have employers statements testifying that I have fullfilled my position to a level expected of a fully qualified trades person for over 10 years and I was wondering if anybody out there knows if I can use these statements to prove my skills to the TRA? Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
