herbspica Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Some previous papers and study material here > https://www.dropbox.com/sh/grpoeyxt4zz59ds/AADHbSoNuTBOUpNIIj-dRmQwa?dl=0You have three days to prepare, I think that you have left it very late. Good luck anyway, you'll need it. Hi! I could not get thru but he has given me a recommendation to come again in 15 days. What is that, do they do that normally? I got stuck on two occasions on lights frequency etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnp Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Had a question about the visa payment process. At what time during the process the payment needs to be made? is it a one time full payment at the time of invitation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainC Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Had a question about the visa payment process. At what time during the process the payment needs to be made? is it a one time full payment at the time of invitation? Hi dnp, thanks for the congrats, appreciate it! The visa is a one time, full payment, once you've completed the application form and before you start uploading the documents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will need to study very hard over the next two weeks. Edited August 18, 2015 by CaptainC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. Do you want/need the bachelor degree? Both institutions have a good reputation, so it's up to your personal preferences which one to go for. There's plenty of things to research like you say. If you want to migrate then the simplest way I can think of is to go through the skilled migration visa route now, and then once you have permanent residency then you can go to study for Chief Mates in Australia without having to worry about student visas etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SujitSingh Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Capt C I submitted my EOI on 23 July but I haven't got an invitation till today. I only got 60 points, could that be the reason for the delay in getting an invitation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainR Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 All the best. Question, are the pilot jobs open to permanent residents, or only citizens? Most of them are open to PR and Citizens, however pilotage jobs are notoriously difficult and competitive to get into at the moment, with the expectation of both command time and an Australia pilotage exemption as a minimum.

It is very biased in the interests of business and if it goes through as is will adversely affect the industry here. It is a small industry here already, and will just get smaller if they globalise the local shipping. The industry is going through a tough time at the moment, with prices for oil, gas, coal, minerals and other resources so low the cuts are now appearing in our industry. Captains, Chief Engineers and all ranks below are being made redundant or looking for work, cadets coming out of the seafaring colleges are going overseas to get seatime or giving up all together. The limited shore jobs that appear seem to be overwhelmed with applicants. Things will pick up again, but at the moment, it isn't pretty.

RMN Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Hi Guys, I am planning to move to Australia and I booked an oral exam. I need some feed backs and information regarding salaries and job vacancies for an experienced Chief Officer in container ships. As I know after granting PR visa I need to work on RAVs (regulated Australian vessels). What are the companies and salaries they are providing. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Job opportunities are not great at the moment, however you don't need to work on RAV's at all. You can work overseas should you wish to.

RMN Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) Dear Capt.C, Thanks for reply. If I can work on non-RAVs why I need AMSA CoR? Why they grant visas for seafarers? And actually they do it fast. You can tell from other seafarers visa process most of them recieved their visa less than 6 months. If seafarers inside australia can't get jobs why they let us enter in such a down market? Edited August 23, 2015 by RMN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If seafarers inside australia can't get jobs why the let us enter in such a down market? The CoR is just the skills assessment process. I don't know why they still grant the visas for seafarers, but the skilled occupation list is not an indication of occupations 'in demand' and never has been. The visas are granted in 3 months approximately, sometimes less. It's the whole skill assessment process that takes the time. Also, you don't have to work at sea or even anything to do with ships at all. You can work in Starbucks or McDonald's if you wish to.
