Hi,

Cisco certifications holdn no weight under group B (dont ask me why). If you have MSCE,CNE etc then you go route B with the 4 years experience. Otherwise you will have to go RPL route. Your CCNA under the RPL route will help in demonstrating your skills and experience.

Cheers,

Glenn

It's 6 years from Oct 1, 2002 under the new guidelines.

Which will also need 6 years of IT experience from Oct 1, 2002.

6 years of IT experience?
 

So now it's 6 years??
Will this change anything if I lodged before Oct 1. 2002?

Thanks.

Re: 6 years of IT experience?
 

If you lodged your ACS skills assessment application before Oct 1, 2002, ACS will use the old guidelines for your assessment.

Your ACS skills assessment result is valid for one year from date of issuance, and is generally immune to policy or guideline changes to ICT skills assessments, unless explicitly stated by ACS or DIMIA.

Wow...didnt know that being a CNE was on the list (not that I've actually looked at it, I get my NZ passport in Oct, a slightly easier way into oz! <g>)

Cheers for that.

A NZ passport no longer automatically gives you permanent residence in Australia. A NZ citizen can work and live in Australia without the need to apply for any special visa (they are given one on arrival), but will not generally be entitled to benefits accorded to Australian permanent residents or Australians.

A NZ citizen may, however, apply for Australian permanent residence like citizens from other countries.

True, but as a NZ passport holder you can live/work/do what the hell you like in australia till the day you die. Effectively 'visa' free - you dont even need an RRV. I'm aware of the benefits thing, doesnt really bother me as I've never claimed any state aid & dont intend to start now. Presumably as you're not an Australian citizen, you dont get the right to vote? (again, no big loss)

1. New Zealand citizens can be (and often are) excluded from
Australia on health or, more commonly, character grounds.

2. There's always the chance immigration control will be tightened up
further in the future.

It's taxation without representation.

A more significant disadvantage is that you won't be able to sponsor
non-NZ citizens for permanent residence and even a spouse only gets a
very restricted 5 year visa.

Children born in Australia to non eligible NZers are no longer
Australian citizens, and only get citizenship if they live there for
their first 10 years.

If your home is in NZ and you're only spending short periods of time
in Australia it's no big deal. But if you want to live long term in
Australia, there are some distinct long term disadvantages.
