msaad Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 First of all i would like to appreciate the way forum members here help out and provide valuable information and guidance. My case is bit complicated and I am confused whether I fall under the eligibility criteria of skilled - Sponsored subclass 190 or not or even under 189. I have 2 of my brothers living in Australia, one has citizenship and other holds PR and both are currently employed in Australia. I can easily get points for sponsorship from a relative for my application. (10 points here) In addition to this I have scored overall +7 band in IELTS which is also a prerequisite for my occupation to have minimum of 7 band. (10 points here) . I am currently under 25-32 age slab. (30 points here) Currently I am ACCA member and having BSC (HONS) in applied accounting from Brookes Oxford - First Class Honors. I went to ACCA after getting exemptions from another qualification (even though it gave my only 3 papers exemptions in ACCA hence substantial part of ACCA was covered through sitting in exams). So hopefully i meet the education requirement as well. (15 points here) I have practical experience of 3-4 Years with Deloitte, Big4 accountancy firm and also have the experience certificate from my firm, which was also used to gain ACCA membership - having requirement of 3 years of experience. All of this experience i have gained is under the requirement of Institute of Chartered of Pakistan - ICAP, which requires 4 modules with following subjects to be cleared/passed before you can start your contract with a chartered accountancy firm: Module A: A-1 Functional English A-2 Quantitative Methods Module B: B-3 Introduction to Economics and Finance B-4 Introduction to Financial Accounting B-5 Mercantile Law Module C: C-6 Financial Accounting C-7 Taxation C-8 Business Communication and Behavioral Studies Module D: D-9 Company Law D-10 Cost Accounting D-11 Auditing D-12 Information Technology I have claimed my exemption in ACCA on basis of above subjects and then completed my ACCA while gaining the practical experience under chartered accountancy firm under my previous ICAP-Chartered Accountancy (which i have not completed yet as final papers are pending to be passed). ( May be 5 points; which I am unsure about or even if i fall under skilled immigration scheme or not) Any assistance would be welcomed with regard to my case. looking forward to the forum members for assistance.

Rupert Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 You seem to be making things complicated, I can see no reason why it should be however. What exactly is your question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msaad Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 You seem to be making things complicated, I can see no reason why it should be however. What exactly is your question? In short, keeping my case in view i.e. after passing those modules of Chartered Accountancy - CA (as mentioned above) i had started my practical experience within Deloitte (Chartered Accountancy Firm) in external audit and remained their for 4 years. My CA is not completed (Final Stage papers are pending) as i started ACCA later on when i joined the firm and most of this experience was gained before i became ACCA member but as already mentioned after passing those modules (which is up to CA - Intermediate Stage). Can this experience be counted towards Skilled Experience - Overseas to gain 5 points or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 So your question is simply "Can I count pre-qualification experience?" Wow, I would never have got that from your first post. :biggrin: Hopefully someone will be along to answer soon now it is a bit clearer what you are asking..

Raul Senise Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Under the current system, questions about employment experience, (especially pre-qualification experience) are complicated and often lead to visa refusal due to over claiming points. To do your question justice, further information would be required. I suggest you undertake extensive further research and possibly take some professional advice, as your post indicates that you do not yet have an understanding of the Subclass 189 and 190 visa categories. As an example you state that you can easily get ten points for sponsorship by a relative, where in reality you do not get any points for sponsorship by a relative under either the subclass 189 or 190. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrussell Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Can this experience be counted towards Skilled Experience - Overseas to gain 5 points or not? In some circumstances it can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
