Good news for qualified Australia-inspired accountants! They can duly apply under the nation's General Skilled Migration (GSM) Program and realize their dreams. However, the candidates will have to cater to the basic requirements for the said program; sail through the immigration Points Test of the nation, and also successfully clear a skills assessment for their specific vocation to become entitled for a visa.
It is vital to observe that beginning July 1 Canberra will bring forward big changes to their said scheme. It is likely that under the immigration system of the nation not many persons will manage to sail through even as the processing times will increase further.
In case one falls under the present program of skilled immigration, he would do well to suitably apply for a skills evaluation as quickly as possible. Prior to submitting his immigration application form, the candidate must be ready with his skills evaluation, and must also have sailed through the test of English language.
The program in question is for skilled workforce and other migrants having relevant skills in specific vocations which may be required in the nation. It is also for those who do not have any sponsorship from any job-provider. As a part of their system of points, Canberra employs a Skilled Occupation List (SOL). With a view to become legally entitled for skilled migration to the country, the aspirant must duly put forward a profession from the SOL.
The occupations listed on the SOL for Accountants include: Accountant (General), External Auditor, Management Accountant, and Taxation Accountant. With a view to become eligible for one of these professions, the applicant must possess a level of skill which is equivalent to a Bachelor Degree or any higher qualification. In some cases, relevant experience and first-hand training could also be needed, apart from the formal qualification.
Prior to migrating to the nation, as a skilled immigrant, the applicant requires having his skills appropriately evaluated by the involved assessment body for his specific vocation.
