Hi all
i am really wondering if i will get the MODL points as my profession is production or plant engineer which listed on the CSL and not on tHe MODL

SO could any advice me about this

Pietie

Yes, all occupations on the CSL automatically counts for MODL.

ahforu2005

Thanks pietie
i am really so happy for that as i was worried
but how come it snot listed on the CSL did they forget to list it?

do u have same case and asked b4?

Pietie

I'm confused now, is it listed on the CSL but not on the MODL, or vice versa?

The CSL is a subset of the MODL, it is the occupations on the MODL that is in REALLY short supply in Aus, therefore if it is listed on CSL it automatically nets you bonus points for MODL, but some occupations on the MODL is not part of the CSL, they still get you bonus points, but not priority processing just yet.

i am sorry maybe i didnt explain it right
my professiion is production engineer and it s listed in CSL but not in MODL

so what do u think now

Sorry, but you won't get MODL points, I was in the same position as you...

What you can do is apply for state sponsorship, I got it from Vic and that way your application will be processed quicker and you only require 100 points

My story....

Applied to Engineers Australia and got classified as an Electronics Engineer under the Washington accord, as my degree is Electronics Engineering

Applied for a 22/04 175 GSM visa

Applied to Vic for SS as a production and plant engineer (5+ years experience in production engineering) and was accepted, contingent on getting a positive assessment from engineers australia

Submitted a CDR to EA and got a positive assessment, CDR is pretty straight forward, the guide on their website is really helpful.

Once I emailed vic got a letter back in minutes with sponsorship approval
If I was to use this sponsorship i would need to reapply under a different ASCO code, which would mean that i would need to repay my application fee so at the moment I'm waiting for 175 to be processed

ahforu2005

i wish everything goes well on ur side and get the visa soon
sorry i read the thread and somebody responded that u get the modl points

so i am still confused
did u ask DIAC about this or how did u find out

kml123

most people are not aware that there are some occupations that are on CSL but not on MODL, I asked a migration agent

ahforu2005

do u suggest to use an immigrant agent as i am on the 1st steps and didnt get my skills assessed yet
where are u from ?

kml123

might be worth talking to one, I might have saved myself a lot of time and money if I had got some professional advice,

I am from a low risk country
