Guest devandroid Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Hi all, I'm a software engineer with 3 years of experience, and I'm willing to migrate to Australia. I was thinking of applying for a state sponsorship from Victoria, since I would like to settle in Melbourne under visa sub class 190. The problem I have is that the Victoria state web site mentions that they require minimum of three year of post qualifying experience, which I do not have at the moment. When I met an agent he said I would be able to apply for the state sponsorship from Victoria. Does anyone know whether Victoria strictly look for post qualifying experience? Will I be able to get a sponsorship? Please give me some advice.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycplanner Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 As you'll see on the Victorian occupation list, you need at least 3 years of work experience to qualify for sponsorship. http://www.liveinvictoria.vic.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0020/225920/State-Nomination-Occupation-List-for-Victoria-09-Jul-2012.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest devandroid Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Thanks nycplanner. I have 3 years experience, but only one and half years of post qualifying experience. i.e. I have worked 20 hours a week while I was studying. I just want to know whether those years which I have worked while studying for the degree be accepted/counted by the state of Victoria... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycplanner Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 The work experience has to be post-qualification. http://www.liveinvictoria.vic.gov.au/visas-and-immigrating/faqs-about-skilled-state-nomination-and-visas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't find much details on that state... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
