vzdike Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 @DavePE did you claim points for work experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavePE Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Hi vzdike, Vetassess only gave me 2.5 years of experience, so I wasn't able to claim points for that. I guess that must have also helped in speeding up the application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vzdike Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 @DavePE Could be that speed up the application. I claimed points for all my experience as the skills assesment autority (AITSL) reconised all my experience. @Everyone else Do the have employment verification for South Africans? As I see it is not the norm for S/Africans but more for the eastern countries. My CO did not asked for more proof when he contacted me back in December, as I submitted everything possible.

I really haven't put too thought into it to be honest. I've just be concentrating on getting the visa thinking that it was never really guaranteed. It will definitely be this year still. I want to do some certifications (Certified Internal Auditor), before I leave and reckon that will take at least 3 months. I also need to stop buying fishing tackle and start saving...

Sweepea Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 @DavePEMy hubby also did the CIA a couple years ago. Great that you are going to give it a go but cant you do it anywhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweepea Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 one step closer to getting visa application finalised - my PCC shows finalised yesterday on the system :). Submitted date was 18/12/2015. Now for hubbys to get finalised - his submission date is only 03/01/2016 as he went later. Wish we will be so lucky to also load PCCs and get visa grant on same day:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavePE Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Hi @Sweepea Yes I believe you can take the exams anywhere (any Pearson testing facility), but ideally I'd like to have CIA on my CV before applying for jobs. Well done on getting your PCC! I actually read on another site that a rumor started that if you had a PCC you could get permanent residency in South Africa, so 50,000 Zimbabweans all applied at the same time. Only in Africa...
