Guest ivyc10 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Hi~all I got a response about applicants who have already got sponsorship and not on the SMP and pending with DICA.(off-list)We have posibility about 50%. cheers "As mentioned Skilled Migration WA is negotiating with DIAC, however I am not aware of a time frame for these negotiations. Until these negotiations are complete your application will remain as Priority 4. If the negotiations are successful your application will become Priority 2, however if unsuccessful it will remain Priority 4. Once concluded we will inform you of the outcome."

Guest ivyc10 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Who gave you this response ? WA or DIAC ? Hi~Jimm I got this response from WA officer. Let me show you original response. Dear Chang, As mentioned Skilled Migration WA is negotiating with DIAC, however I am not aware of a time frame for these negotiations. Until these negotiations are complete your application will remain as Priority 4. If the negotiations are successful your application will become Priority 2, however if unsuccessful it will remain Priority 4. Once concluded we will inform you of the outcome.

Guest MaungMO Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I got a similar response from WA also. Hi Maung, as per the current processing priorities your application will be processed as Priority 4. We are currently negotiating for them to be processed as Priority 2 but we are still waiting for DIAC’s consideration. I am not sure whether or when that would be finalised. Kind regards, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Department of Training and Workforce Development So still stuck as before. But I'd like some opinions from anyone of you. I also got a SS from ACT and the profession is in SMP (for General Managers). This means I will get priority 2 if I choose ACT. The thing is I feel there is more job opportunities in WA so I am still waiting and hoping something quick would come up with WA? Is the wait worthwhile, knowing the ever changing migration landscape of Australia? Or just get on with ACT SS and SMP and (hopefull) move to ACT, then get on with it? What do you all think?

Alan Collett Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I encourage all who decide to post email replies from State Governments verbatim to be aware that their identities can most probably be identified by the relevant State Government. Also, I think it is bad form to post the names and email addresses of individuals working in Government Departments. I'm not a moderator, but would invite all who have identified individuals by name and email address in their postings to consider editing them. Best regards.

You should proceed to choose the ACT sponsorship rather than waiting to see what might happen with WA. I would not be hesitating at all if I were you about selecting ACT SS. Once you have your visa, you can worry about jobs then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimm Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Hi Shane, I was talking to a contact of mine yesterday who assures me that WA are fighting tooth and nail for all the existing SS holders who aren't on the SMP. So keep believing mate. Oh and I hope I have read the correct list when you refer to Cooks, Hairdressers etc. I thought Cooks made it on to the list? Been up to Cottesloe beach and it is a perfect place for a few cold ones mate. John Here is the reply I got from WA and I must say its a lousy reply.They are not giving any information regarding there negotiations with DIAC about existing SS holders.I hope John what you are saying is true and they are indeed negotiating ? I give them a reply and said thanks for your lousy reply I already know the answer to ur email " Your sponsorship has been confirmed with DIAC and will be processed as Priority 4. Regards Skilled Migration WA " I again contacted WA regarding this email and today I got this reply: " Skilled Migration WA is currently negotiating with DIAC to honour the off list positions that were previously nominated by Western Australia. I hope this is of assistance. Regards Skilled Migration WA Education and Training International" This email is really encouraging and I hope they get successful. I did asked them about the time frame for the negotiations and its result, lets hope they give a time period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ivyc10 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Hi~ all We should send a lot of e-mail and keep pressure to WA. Priority 2 was ours. We should ask them about responsibility of sponsorship. We could get a sponsorship after waiting for a long time. We should receive a reward for wasted time.

I realise that if the outcome for these negotiations are positive... they will let us know... but what if they arent positive??? How will we find out because I cant see them putting that info up on their website??? It would be good to know even if it isnt good news... Thanks for any thoughts on this???

John Gilfillan Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Hey John... where abouts is this thread??? Cheers Susie Hi Susie, It was a post I put on another thread. This is some information I have collected over the past few weeks from radio, news and some business contacts. I have copied it below for you. Hi all, As many of you know, I am sitting in WA waiting for my visa grant whilst on holiday. There has been news reports of the WA government growing increasingly impatient with the speed of the processing of visa's and the assignment of case officers. As far as I m lead to believe, WA were told that they would get their migrants that they so critically need. It seems that they are now exerting pressure on the federal government to push through the visa's more quickly. I have also been talking to a senior manager from a mining company who told me that WA needs 50,000 people per project as we speak. They are well short of that number and are not even attracting inter state workers anymore. The mining companies as you all know, have to pay a tax to the government. This is reputed to be worth billions to the Australian economy, but this figure cannot be reached until they have the workforce in place. Some of the mining companies are planning to lobby the Federal government to also get the workforce they desire. I knew the work force issue was critical before I got here, but after talking to a lot of important people out here, I think that companies futures are now dependant on DIAC and the Federal government getting down to some very hard work over the next few months to ensure that WA gets what it wants. A few business people I know have also commented on how WA and QLD basically make Australia tick and with QLD in a right state at the moment and WA not being able to get the workers it needs, I can see Julia ending up in a bit of a sticky wicket. This all seems to be doom and gloom for some people, but I think that it is a great opportunity for us migrants waiting in the wings. The bottom line is now that Australian Government has the QLD crisis and also WA breathing down their necks about a workforce shortage, I think that most of us waiting patiently may get a surprise announcement over the next week or so. John Cheers Susie, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
