Joys of Oz Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Hello everyone........HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!! We've decided that this is going to be our year!!!! We've been looking for the last 12 months for a job that can offer us sponsorship.......sadly, without much luck You'd think with Mr JoOZ being a mechanical engineer specialising the mining sector it wouldn't be that hard, but hay ho.........it's been Very frustrating however we are not deterred and have now decided to apply for a 189 skilled Visa. i have a couple of things I'd like to ask if that's ok. I know with the mighty power of the PIO possie will be able to help. Engineers Australia We need to go to Engineers Australia to get his qualifications assessed. We know that his UK degree is the equivalent of an Ozzie bachelor degree. However, he's been working as a mechanical engineer here in the UK and worked his way up from snr eng to lead eng. and he wouldn't be happy to do Anything less in oz. Its taken him years. So, taking this into account, We think he'll get his qualifications accredited by Engineers Australia for the Sydney accord for his bachelors degree in mechanical engineering. Engineering council of the UK have already told us this. However, the degree he has, Engineers Australia give home the title of engineering technologist. Does anyone know if we complete and submit a CDR, will that get him accredited as a mechanical engineer? At this point, does any one have any samples of mechanical engineer cdr's we maybe able to look at for reference purposes to ensure we're doing it correctly. The Visa Now when it comes to the Visa...........does anyone know how long it takes to process this visa once you apply........if any of you maybe able to post their time line or any helpful tips and hints to get things done that might be able to help us out...........we'd be really really grateful. Maybe an idea if costs if you feel like posting might also be helpful. god I've asked asked for so much.......I really hope I haven't put anyone off. I know I've looked for some of this information and had to sift through so much conflicting stories. Heres hoping someone will reply after reading my essay lol I do promise to help and support any new comers in the future once we've got our visa and made the move in a pledge to give a little back......it's the least I can do Much thanks and appreciation Joy's xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattybe Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 eng technologist is more like incorporated engineer rather than professional engineer. I think you would have to do the Cdr route to be assessed as Mechanical Eng. Eng Aus have a migration skills booklet which tells you exactly how to structure the career episodes. It tells you size/ word length / structure etc etc. however Eng Technologist is still on skills list.. Sydney and Washington accord are much quicker..approx 5 weeks as oppose to upto 18 for cdr.

I have to say though, if we stick to the incorporated eng route and the fact that eng technologist is on the SOL, then it would be more than enough to get our foot through the door and get that golden visa!!!!! Do you you think it would affect his chances of getting a job as a mechanical engineer? Reality is, he's been doing the job for years with a proven track record.........this I guess is the big thing.....just want to know that when we go we're not going for any less than what we have here and that includes Mr JoOZ being happy with his job. many thanks JoOZ xxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattybe Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Its just a skills assessment to get a visa at the end of the day The only difference is if he chooses to become a member of the institution. Professional Engineer (MIEAust) – completion of an Engineers Australia-accredited four or more years engineering qualification in Australia, or equivalent, and minimum of three years acceptable work experience at the level of Professional Engineer Engineering Technologist (TMIEAust) –completion of an Engineers Australia-accredited three-year engineering technology qualification in Australia, or equivalent, and minimum of three years acceptable work experience at the level of Engineering Technologist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
