aconcannon 76 Posted October 15, 2014 @godisgreat4all I think it's fair to say the visa process and allocation of case officers varies depending on where you are from and what type of visa you are applying for etc but at the minute there seems to be a bit of a pattern with peple being allocated case officers around 10-13 weeks after lodging the visa and paying the fee... this rang true for us and some other people we know so in theory if you lodged on the 17th September then you should be allocated a case officer around the end of November?? Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good luck! Sounds good to me. We applied on the 15th and have medicals booked on on 28th October. I was not expecting any action until mid November (earliest). We were hoping to get a grant before Xmas Moved to Sydney. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aconcannon 76 Posted October 15, 2014 @Matthewroberts I think you're wise booking your medicals now because at least then you can either upload thewm before getting asked or have the results waiting to be uploaded as soon as your case officer requests them - we were advised to wait until ours were requested, which we have done and we're going to have them done on Saturday so hopefully it won't be long after that until the visa comes through. Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Roberto 70 Posted October 15, 2014 @aconconnon - we booked that week because it was half term, but hopefully it's not a bad time. 6 weeks after lodging Moved to Sydney. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Case officer allocated and medicals and police checks requested 13th October. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Roberto 70 Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) Hey! Well I don't have a timeline as such, as it's my wife who is the main applicant. But I do all the stuff with her and am more computer/tech orientated and go on here more. She cleared 2 different IELTS January (academic 7s) and march (standard 8s). Then she did Anmac for skills assessment. THe LOD came back in July. She applied to Ahpra in July and got an LOD back off that late August. From here she knew we could work in Oz and we did an EOI. They sent an invite early sept and we lodged in 15 sept. We had already done Police checks as they are cheap. And we have our medicals (x5) booked for 28th oct. We don't have a planned date to move yet. It'll prob be june or July 2015. We have to register to work before end of August. Moving all 5 of us and a dog might take quite some organising, so we decided to not worry about it til after xmas anyway. Sorry if this isn't in the preferred timeline format!

godisgreat4all 10 Posted October 21, 2014 Guys I have one doubt, My first employer from India sent me to Canada in deputation. for the year 2009 and 2010. So as employment reference, I have provided my Canadian work permit, certified deputation letter, last six months' notarized/certified payslips and certified tax slips for the 2 years. 1) Are these evidence enough as I do not have my Canadian bank's statement and payslip for all the months ? 2) I have certified my Canadian payslips (6 months) and tax slips(2009 and 2010) from my current city in India. Is that fine ?
