Captain Roberto Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 We lodged last weekend (14th September). We front loaded all documents except medicals - which we have been advised to wait on (although I guess we could go ahead and do these) and form 80, whiich we have prepared but not uploaded (in case we don't get asked to) There is already a September 189 thread on here though - maybe you should merge them or join that one? http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/migration-issues/219690-189-visa-lodged-september-2014-a.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benthomas010 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Just waiting for my wife to sit and pass the IELTs and then we will be lodging our EOI. Looks like it will be 1st November assuming she passes first time. (Only needs 4.5 average). When I done my IELTS in June there were 2 / 3 days per week as options, now there are only 1 or 2 days per month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I don't think she needs to do IELTS to prove competent English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benthomas010 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 is your wife British? If so, I don't think she needs to do IELTS to prove competent English. Nope. She's indonesian which is why she needs to take the test. She took one to get her UK visa but typically it's a different test she has to take for the aus one.

godisgreat4all Posted September 21, 2014 Author Share Posted September 21, 2014 Fair enough. All the best. Yes, unless someone is from any one of the English-speaking(US/UK/CA) countries has to take the test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecar Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 We lodged yesterday (23rd Sep), though I think it was already 24th in Australia as it was in the evening in the UK.. Booked medicals, scanned documents, looking for someone to sign my police check photo who is authorised to do so which is a pain (not told work yet, so can't use existing contacts). Only confusion is which documents need to be certified? Are you certifying everything?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Roberto Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 We certified everything just to be on the safe side (lodged on the 15th). Some people say colour scans also fine. I guess you make up your own mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecar Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Thanks Matthew.. Yes, I think we will certify everything too, not worth delaying the process x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godisgreat4all Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 Thanks Matthew.. Yes, I think we will certify everything too, not worth delaying the process x I heard that for black and white photo copies only u need to do the notarization. But if the document is a scanned copy of the original then it is not required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godisgreat4all Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 I have 2 doubts, if anyone can clarify. Before that here is a background I was in Canada for work since 2009-Jul to 2010-Dec then in visit visa since 2011-Mar till 2012-June 1) I have previous 2 visa refusals for Canada. a) Visit visa to Canada due to lack of Fund(Jan, 2011) that I have shown.. but after that when I have shown enough fund it got approved (Feb, 2011) b) Spousal PR visa refusal for Canada because of some document validation problem of my ex-wife(Aug, 2012). We got the divorce in April, 2014. I have declared this in form 1221 and in form 80 with some more details of the reason of the refusal and attached the divorce and marriage certificate from Canada. 2) There is a reassessment happened on my 2010 tax return and according to that I owe $4000 CAD to the tax department. My previous employer has filed an objection for that against Canada tax. so now this $4000 has become the disputed amount. The case is still going on. However, I have recently made the payment of $4000 CAD to tax. So if you guys can comment on this from your experience and knowledge. Is it possible that these 2 reasons can be a hindrance for me to get the 189 visa ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
