Guest Kathryn Posted October 10, 2007 Hi Helaine and all, Yes, MIA released a news letter today, the most interesting perhaps being: TRA hopes to reopen Pathway D "shortly" if it is viable to do so and is prepared to consult closely with the MIA about this once they have thought through most of the issues. They are likely to also consult with DIAC, the Department of Education Science and Training and other key stakeholders. I expect that we might be able to have discussions on this towards the end of November. We should therefore not expect Pathway D to be reopened before December. Any reopening will be dependent upon problems being overcome. Good news! Kathryn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest darsar Posted October 11, 2007 Dear all,I also heard a rumour yesterday that pathway d was coming back so I emailed my agent last night to confirm this(he only dealt with our TRA application and is not a visa agent)He emailed me back and said that the TRA decision still stands and not to hold my breath for a reverse decision anytime soon,and that I should start to think about Vetasses instead!!!!???????WHAT IS GOING ON,I AM SO CONFUSED:unsure:Sarah++++++ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest hays Posted October 11, 2007 hey ho, OH is a plumber so we have to go through vetasses now, another major expense to add to the whole process. TRA would have been so much easier and cheaper if Pathway D wasnt closed when we applied...even though we have C&G certs..they werent enough apparently. Fingers crossed for all you guys who need Pathway D, i hope they do get it back up and running early next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alan Collett 3,252 Posted October 12, 2007 It is thought that any Pathway D replacement is likely to be in a format that parallels the new VETASSESS procedure for certain trade skills applicants - ie with a practical assessment. Also, with a Federal election in the offing I'd not be holding my breath for any changes too soon ... it would be a gung-ho civil servant who signs off on such a material change as the re-introduction of a Pathway D replacement in the midst of an election campaign (the expectation is that the Federal election will be called this weekend).

Guest silverstargazer38 Posted October 12, 2007 when Vetasses were getting more cash for assessing trades, tra were only getting 300.00 aus dollars! per assessment, hence all change.... looks like they are following suit of vetasses!! We are appealing our pathway d hopefully will hear something soon :huh: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
