Penny88 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Just checked my emails and I've received an invitation in the 27th April round. I submitted an EOI for a 189 visa with 70 points on April 16th, so it looks as though the backlog of applicants under the accountancy ANZSCO at least hasn't increased and may have even reduced. Though obviously we'll have to wait and see when the results are released. Exciting times though....now I just need to sift through the masses of paperwork I will need to upload with my application!

sns Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Yeah costs seem high in Sydney, but im not sure how much higher than Perth is? We actually already had a rental lined up from a friend in Perth but will just have to see what happens I guess. Good luck with your adventure anyway! Any ideas when you are planning to travel? We'll take that rental Julia ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sns Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Help! Not sure what to do - CPA have come back from my skills assessment saying that I have not studied enough Company Law. I have the ICAEW qualification, I studied it between 1999 and 2002. Anyone else had this problem? I was initially told that no syllabus was required for ICAEW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russab2000 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I got my skills assessed by the icaa. As i believe they have an agreement with the iceaw. I sent off my letter of good standing, copies of certification, results and degree all as pdf. Came back in a few weeks. Assuming your an icaew full member/fully qualified it would be worth checking out the icaa process Sent from my LG-H955 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sns Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Maybe I should have chosen ICAA but I wanted the experience assessment which is why I chose CPA. I don't have a syllabus for the Business Law (business not company law my mistake) however I could do the statutory declaration if I need to. I just thought that I wouldn't need to! I will try and give them a ring this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliah79 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Hi All, I have just seen on another forum that the new SOL is out for 16/17 and all of the accounting occupations are still listed so that's a relief! I don't think there was any info on the occupation ceiling number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliah79 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Apologies if I have given incorrect info, the document looked official and was dated today, are you saying someone would have posted a fake SOL?! Why would someone even do that?!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VERYSTORMY Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Stand by. There is an agent reporting it has been. However, all I can find at the moment is a comment on a web page saying that the Sydney Morning Herald have published it, but I cant find the story on the SMH web site.

I don't think there was any info on the occupation ceiling number Will be interesting to see if they add some other form of criteria - post qualification experience, for example ? As far as I know, accountancy is one of the few occupations that you don't need this for a positive skill assessment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliah79 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Interesting yes that s good point. I'm coming up to 2 years PQE so hopefully if they do change it, it might work in my favour! For me personally I they do make some changes as i'm stuck on 60 pts Will be interesting to see if they add some other form of criteria - post qualification experience, for example ?As far as I know, accountancy is one of the few occupations that you don't need this for a positive skill assessment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New requirements mean less customers... So , hardly they need it. Also it is unfair to many people . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt very much that they would care about our feelings. If DIBP are finding that those obtaining skilled visas are not fulfilling the skill shortages as they have no experience then surely they could enforce it ?
