Jupiter19 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Thanks You have helped me a lot, I now know what to expect. I tried to google the information,but didn`t have much luck. I have sent them an e-mail, stating that I got confirmation from UPS that they have delivered my mail on 9th of January, and I asked them about my TRA number. They replied me today, without mentioning TRA number, but they informed me that they have sent a letter to my address. Hope it won`t be long until I receive it. Here is their reply: "Thank you for your enquiry to Trades Recognition Australia (TRA). Your application and supporting documentation were received on 09/01/2013 by TRA and will be processed accordingly. An acknowledgement letter has been sent to the address nominated on your application. Applications are assessed in order of receipt and processing times may vary depending on the program. Information on processing times and any current delays are available on the TRA website www.innovation.gov.au/tra. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candygirl Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I am glad I have helped in some way, glad to. Count the working days from the 9/01. You will get the confirmation letter very soon. We received ours within a few days. TRA are pretty good now with their turnaround times, so finger's crossed you will hear something soon. Good Luck.

Amy Rose Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Hi,I have received a letter to say TRA have got my application but would this of had a number or something on it for me to check the Portal? I want to join in!! I sent it in January. Think I'm going to dig out the letter and read it again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jupiter19 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Lucky you ! I am still waiting for the TRA letter, they got my application on January the 9th . I am also hoping to get a number with the letter :daydreaming: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nancy and paul Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 Hi jupiter19 mines was unsuccessful and took 45 working days now just waiting on the letter to find out why and see where we go from here. Have you got on the portal yet?x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jupiter19 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 So sorry to hear that As I read here on this forum, people managed to change unsuccessful to successful by sending additional documents, hope you will do the same :wubclub:. It is a money spinner-if you pay additional 300 $, and send a few more papers, then no problem, positive outcome. No, I am still waiting for my TRA number, didn`t even get the letter. :realmad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nancy and paul Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 I think it took about 10 days for my letter to say they had received it and had the ref no on it so expecting the same time to find out about result so you shouldn't be far away in getting a letter from them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nancy and paul Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Still waiting on a letter to find out why. Hopefully have something this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jupiter19 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Finally, I got the letter from TRA, it took them 4 weeks ! When my friend sends me something from Australia, it takes about one week. Never mind, now I`ve got the number :notworthy: and can be obsessed too. It`s too early, only 30 days have passed, so I`ll wait a bit longer. Nancy, do do have any news ? We might be in a same boat, the more time passes, I am less sure about the positive outcome. However, it comforts me that, in most cases, ( and I have read 65 pages on this topic ) re-sending additional documentation was enough to change the outcome to successful. I took the IAELTS exam 8 days ago, and they stated that starting February the 2nd, BC has introduced additional checking of results, whatever that means. Listening was awful, but the rest of the test was ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nancy and paul Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 That's good you've got your letter I'm still waiting on an email back to see if they'll accept the extra evidence I've got. So hopefully something tomorow and find out what happening. The listening was the most difficult for me too but I done really well on that.

Do you have an option to get this letter online trough their portal? As you see, Jupiter also had to wait 4 weeks prior assessment for this kind of letter to be obtained!

floorman Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 im not sure!! if anyone has any info regarding obtaining a letter through the portal that would be great.Its just really frustrating that its said "succesful" for over a fortnight and we still havent heard anything on paper!!!

kovisu Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Summer 2011 ASSESSMENT OUTCOME LETTERS FROM THE INTERNETTRA has completed the skills assessment application. TRA provides an internet service to obtain outcome letters. To use the internet service to obtain the outcome letter you must first register through the TRA website at www.deewr.gov.au/tra - use the menu on the right side to navigate to ‘Skills Assessment for ARTC’, then to ‘Online Application Tracking Portal’. When registering for this service you will need to enter applicant details. On portal is, next to outcome result, a link for opening the letter (nowdays, its not working). + Max 2 weeks for outcome letter to be received! Seems today policy is to not provide this service anymore if its not offered, already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candygirl Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 We were never given the option of getting the letter through the portal. I think 30 days is excessive. If you are not happy with what the agent is telling you, would you consider speaking to TRA direct and explain that you have not received your outcome letter? We waited at most 10 days for the outcome letter. Your agent is correct in what they are saying, without the letter you cannot proceed to file an EOI as you will need the reference number to enter into online forms.

floorman Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Thanks will ring the TRA first thing in the morning!!..the more we ring our agent the more i think we are gonna be pushed to the bottom of the pile!!....seem to find out more on here than our agency has ever disclosed!! wonder if thats because theyve had our money now?? Anyway good luck everyone else with the TRA..hopefully we'll hear something soon!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nancy and paul Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 I think it's guess work I got my letter 11 days later for unsuccessful outcome and now have waited a week for an email reply. Hopefully we all here something soon;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
