Application for PR - late WRS

[Mala123]

Hello Everyone!

Can you please help me to understand WRS issue for A8 countries. As it was abolished in April 2011 for A8 countries, does it mean that people who were late with WRS registration or didn't work for a continuous period of 12 months for 1 employer can easily apply for PR after 20 April 2016? If yes, how would you answer question 9.14; 9.15; 9.16 asking for WRS?

9.14 If you or your sponsor worked for an employer during the relevant accession period,
please complete the table below with details of any worker registration, worker authorisation, or
other documents you/they held giving you permission to work.

9.15 Did you/your sponsor work for an uninterrupted period of 12 months in accordance with
one or more of the documents mentioned in the table above?
yes/no

.16 If, at any point during the accession period, you/your sponsor worked without holding one
of the documents listed in the table above, why was this?
Exempt or not otherwise required to register/obtain authorisation – go to 9.17
Worked without permission – go to 9.18

I would be grateful if you can advice.
Thank you!!

To avoid confusion & jumbled responses, I have moved your question to its own thread (this one).

Until the 30th April, 2016, that application will be valid.

Coz it was the 30th that is came to an end, although people who started work on the 02-04-2011, will not need WRS.

I can envisage circumstances in which a person entered in 2004, worked until 2009 and stopped working, and claiming PR for year 2004-2009. In those circumstance, they will need to demonstrate that they complied with the terms of the WRS.

Hi Obie,

Thank you for responding

I just don't understand why this application will be valid until the end of April 2016? I saw so many post saying that people with late WRS or no WRS should apply after 30 April 2016 as this time WRS will not be counted anymore. Isn't it true?

Thanks!

I just spotted my error in my initial question - I ment to ask:
