Dear All,

Can I start the PR application and then give ielts exam after 2 months, so that i can save my precious time of 2 months,

Or

I must have ielts results with me before starting AU PR applicaion?

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

Have you applied for your skills assessment?
If not, you may apply for the skills assessment and meanwhile sit an IELTS exam.

Hi Denise,

I have yet not applied for skill assessment, my main intention was to save my time while preparing for ielts.

Do you know how much time it takes approximate for skill assessment, and what are the documents required for the same.

Thanks & Regards,
Aditya.

Hi All,

One more thing I wanted to ask is presently I have only 2.8 years of experience.

Although I clear the rules for skilled migration, I have read in PIM Guidelines on ACS website that I require 4 years of experience before going for skill assessment.

Ref: https://www.acs.org.au/assessment/docs/ ... ry2009.pdf

Request you all to provide feedback on this.

Regards,
Aditya

Hi,

What qualifications do you have?

There are 3 different groups of requirements /depends on how many years you have worked and studied/ and you have to meet one of them to assess your skills through ACS but 4 years of experience is one of the main requirements you should meet.

To apply for skilled migrant visa you will have to prove that you have worked in your nominated occupation for at least 12 months for the last 2 years.

Denise
