Hi saki
I am more confused when I am passing through contributions of several members here in regard to the IELTS. What is the magic point with the frequently mentioned date April 10. While evidently I have good English, I did not intend to set for IELTS, and thus I submitted my application to the CIC on April 29 which was delivered at their side on May 5. DO I HAVE DONE A GRAVE MISTAKE? SHOULD I HAVE HAD MY IELTS SUBMITTED?

In your situation, you have to take IELTS as soon as possible (if you are ready of course). As per new rules (April 10) - you have to submit IELTS with your full package to the embassy - and you'll have the only chance to do it. As from April 10 - you cannot deliver any additional docs to the embassy, Language results including.

And starting 26 June - applicants are obliged to send IELTS results directly to CIO.

:D
 
thanks for the reply.
What do you mean by saying "As from April 10 - you cannot deliver any additional docs to the embassy, Language results including", while you ask me to send my IELTS to the embassy together with the other documents?

I mean that once the full package is submitted to the embassy - it will be assessed ''as is''.

For instance, if your IELTS results are not satisfactory, you won't be able to resubmit another certificate with better scores...

Previously, at some embassies applicants were permitted to bring some additional docs (e.g. better IELTS results). From April 10 - NOT.

Is that clear?
;D
 
CLEAR ENOUGH

thank you all

Sorry for interruption, but I would like to add a couple of words...

It is clearly stated in OP 6 that the date of receipt of your application at Sydney serves as a lock-in date.

Although, it is stated that IELTS results should be not more than one year old upon the application date, it's never been said that this application date is the date of submission of full docs to the embassy.

So, if we judge from the official guides - then we can conclude that IELTS results are still valid.

Hi Rambler,

As I understand the situation:

1. It was never mandatory to submit IELTS results/copy to Sydney. It was suggested to write the test before submitting the initial docs so that the applicant can have a better idea about his scores. So "lock in "date for IELTS can not be at Sydney.

2. It mentions the "Lock in " date for "Application" and IELTS is not a part of the Checklist for Sydney.

3. Submission of application along with IELTS to VO is lock in date for IELTS (my opinion).

Dear all,
Though I did not received my AOR, I am preparing my papers. In connection with that I have some confusion on job document

1. I have employed in three company. But I have the appointment and contract latter of current job with me. I do not have the appointment letter of previous two jobs. only I have experience certificates and I also do not have the visiting card of the signing person of the experience certificate. Is it necessary to give them the appointment letter of the previous employment and also the visiting card of the signing person? please be informed that my total year of work experience is about 12 years and I have been doing my current job for the last 10 years.

2. In my current job papers the address is different than my residantial address which is not mentioned in the form submitted to CIO. Basically the address in the job papers is postal address. Is it create problem?


Please suggest me

regards
Shazzadul

In case of address it is not a problem at all. a man change address every month.
As your current job is around 10 years, it should be enough to get full point in work experience category. You may write a cover letter to VO explaining why u r not able to send appoint letter or visiting card of previous employer. But give every single details from current employer .. i mean appointment letter, promotion letter, salary slip, visiting card etc because they may want to contact.
 
Thanks prince56k

With all my respect, when dealing with immigration - we should follow the rules. And accordong to operation manuals 6 (official guide) - Sydney = lock-in date.

If you submit IELTS results (copy) - you can count that these results will be "locked-in".

P.S. It was not mandatory to send IELTS results to Sydney, but highly recommended (in all guides) to take it before applying to Sydney. And by the way in one of the application forms you were welcomed to provide a copy of IELTS results . So, it becomes a part of your application to Sydney. ;D
 
things seem to be going slow at CIO`s end.. Did anybody check with them which date are they processing right now??

Hi Sukhi,

You get points for your spouse in the category of "Job experience" only if she has Canadian experience. Since you mentioned that you are not getting points for her, then I assume that you are providing her job details only to make a strong case....correct me if I am wrong. In that case a reference letter that would mention her experience, job responsibilities and salary is enough to demonstrate her capability.
