What are the present requirements for a VETASSESS Skills Assessment, in case a person proposes a general vocation for immigration?
In such a case, one must have these two: 1. Skills which are evaluated at the required level of education for the designated skills in a field of study appropriate for the designated occupation. 2. Not less than 1 year of paid service in an appropriate occupation at a suitable skill stage.
Am I qualified?
To be qualified, to apply for evaluation, you must: 1. Have permanent residency status of an overseas country and wish to move to Australia. 2. Propose a general professional occupation for which VETASSESS is the concerned assessing organization. 3. Possess post-secondary or higher educational qualifications at the required educational level, in a domain that matches one’s designated occupation. 4. Have not less than 1 year of paid service, out of the past 5 years, in an appropriate domain to one’s chosen vocation, for which identical level of skill is required as that of one’s designated vocation.
Please tell me about the SOL (Skilled Occupation List)!
A new SOL has been made public even as the same becomes effective from July, 1, 2010. This list covers the professions which will be available for a General Skilled Migration (GSM) permit/visa. These permits are to be had by those candidates who are independent overseas people, or who have a family member in Australia, or who possess Territory or State Sponsorship or Nomination.
Please tell me about a very appropriate sphere of study!
It is a major that matches one’s designated vocation, or is closely associated with the domain of study which is evaluated as suitable for employment in one’s chosen vocation inside Australia.
What in case the candidates’ employment has not been in a very relevant sphere?
Those who are applying for the purpose of skills evaluation–to support an application for permanent residency–need a qualifications and employment evaluation. For the same, the candidates have to offer a proof of at least 1 year of job in a domain that matches their designated vocation very well.
What if one’s employment was over 5 years back?
The candidates should offer a proof of not less than 1 year of service from anytime during the past 5 years. The job done before this period is not applicable for assessment purposes.
What’s the required time frame for assessment?
Skilled Graduate Visa (485): Nearly 8-12 weeks after all applicable papers needed for evaluation have been gained by the VETASSESS. In certain instances–and on the complication levels of a particular case—extra time may be required.
GSM/ ENSOL/ State Sponsored visa: The approximate period for evaluation is 12-16 weeks after all necessary papers for assessment purposes have duly been pocketed.
What will come my way in case I fail to succeed in the evaluation?
In such a case, a letter of assessment outcome–which mentions that you have been unable to meet the pre-migration skills assessment criteria –will be issued even as the same will specify the assessment components wherein your application could not have catered to the criteria.
Please tell me about the date of expiry for Skills Assessments, via the fresh procedure?
All Skills Assessments made available–via the fresh arrangements–have a period of validity of 2 years. The date of expiry is 2 years from the date of the issuance of the original Skills Assessment.
