furballs21 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Hi, I got an email from skillselect asking for updated information. We had our 189 visas granted March 2015 and we validated them May 2015 so not sure why skillselect want to update...any ideas? should i ignore it since the visas are in effect? We are planning to do the full move to Oz Sept 2017. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Northam Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Hi Furballs21 - You can ignore the SkillSelect email if your visa has already been granted - EOI's are valid for 2 years and the SkillSelect system may not be aware that a visa has been granted as a result of the EOI, or it may be a duplicate EOI you may have entered - either way, safe to ignore. Best, Mark Northam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sameer Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Hi, I am a general accountant (NOC 2211) and planning to apply for Skill assessment, could you please advise if i will be able to clear skill assessment. Below are my additional details. Total Experience : 9 yrs IELTS : 8.5/7/7/6.6 (L/W/S/R) Qualifications : B.Com (Pass) + MBA (Finance) I believe I have covered all of the required subjects for 2211 NOC code but not sure if my IELTS score is sufficient to apply for Skill assessment? Any guidance will be highly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrussell Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 For a positive skills assessment as an accountant (or similar) you need 7 or better on every sub test of IELTS Academic, or a corresponding score om an accepted alternative test. There are other stringent criteria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sameer Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Thanks for your reply. Today only I received my PTE exam result and fortunately scored 65+ in each module. Now i am planning to apply for Skill Assessment, any advise as which assessing body will be best to apply through. I just checked all the assessing bodied for 2211 and found "CPA" has most relaxing criteria and minimum fees. Has anyone applied through CPA? How was the experience?
