Hello Guys, I was studying in Australia for 3 years and came to Sri Lanka on a vacation. I did my first Degree on Computer Systems in Australia as well as received my ACS skills assessment certification as a Computer Network & Systems Engineer. I have applied for my PR and awaiting decision.

If you guys need to know anything about visa categories and skilled migration process, feel free to drop a message on this wall. I will reply to you according to my best knowledge.

How long did you work to get your ACS skills assessment?

How's the job situ for computer engineers / software engineers over there?

Any tips for people migrating in the near future about how to secure jobs? Quite a few people at my workplace are migrating. :)

No matter, how many you have but you will be given only 15 points unless a you study for a doctorate. It happens because an applicant is assessed against a specific job category and need to have that particular qualification. Another degree means another job category. So it will have a conflict unless otherwise

I mean BSc. & MSc. in the same catagory machn ? how it will be counted ?

    other Doctorate of a recognised standard
    20 points
    At least a Bachelor degree, including a Bachelor
    degree with Honours or Masters, from an Australian
    educational institution or other degree of a recognised
    standard
    15 points

    at time of invitation.

    Once you finish your degree in IT, you will be assessed as accordingly. ACS gives an assessment for a valid and relevant degree. You do not need to have experience for that. The demand for network & systems engineers is higher than it was a few years back. Try to apply for a visa from your qualifications and experience. The only tip I can give someone is, the immigration scheme is pretty much open to everyone as long as they satisfy the requirements of getting a valid visa. There are no alternatives.

    This rules came in effect from 6th January onwards. Now they ask for 1 year experience on top of your IT degree. When applying for PR directly, the above rule applies form now on. But you still have a chance to get your degree assessed under general skills assessment if you want to have a pre-acknowledgement before proceeding further.

    Thanks.. Good Post Rep added...
    IELTS score is just a part of the requirements you should have when applying for a visa. Other than that you must have a degree or above with industry experience in your field.

    CSOL is considered when you get a state or employer nominated sponsorship. It essentially contains more job categories than the SOL as most of the vacancies / slots appear in regional Australia . Most of the applicants considered through CSOL will be given visa leading to PR, depending on a separate scheme slightly different from the general skilled migration points system but the basic rules are pretty much the same.
