ENS 186 v RSMS 187 skills assessment

    Asking for a friend of a friend:rolleyes:

    His employer is offering to sponsor him as a Junior Project Manager.
    They have sponsored carpenters and oadmin staff on 457 in the last 2 months.
    My mate has a degree in Project Management, no experience, just finished college last May.

    He is wanting to get a PR visa instead of a 457. He done the visa wizard thing and it suggested either a 186, 187 or a 189 visa, but we ruled out the 189 visa. What he wants to know is there any skill exemptions available to him, the immi site states this. So all I can work out is he would need to earn over 180k a year to not need his skill assessed..am I right?

    And he cant get his skill assessed without 3 years experience? Is his best bet a 457 and stick it for 2 years and get PR thru the transition stream?

    Thanks



    Skill exemptions

    Skill exemptions only apply to the
    Direct Entry streams of the ENS or RSMS.

    Visa applicants applying through the
    Temporary Residence Transition

    stream will not need to have their skills assessed as they are considered to

    have met the skill requirement based on the time they have spent working on

    their subclass 457 visa in their nominated occupation for their nominating

    employer.

    Exemptions for the
    ENS Direct Entry stream will require applicants to:


    be nominated as an academic by a university in Australia


    be nominated as a scientist, researcher or technical specialist by an

    Australian Government agency (for instance, CSIRO or ANSTO)


    be nominated as a Minister of Religion by a religious institution


    have nominated earnings at least equivalent to the current Australian

    Taxation Office top individual income tax rate**


    be in Australia as the holder of a subclass 444 or 461 visa and have

    worked with their nominating employer in their nominated occupation

    for the last 2 years (not including any period of unpaid leave) in the

    period of 3 years before the visa application is made.

    Exemptions for the
    RSMS Direct Entry stream will require applicants to:


    have nominated earnings at least equivalent to the current Australian

    Taxation Office top individual income tax bracket**


    in Australia as the holder of a subclass 444 or 461 visa and have

    worked with their nominating employer in their nominated occupation

    for the last 2 years (not including any period of unpaid leave) in the

    period of 3 years immediately before the visa application is made.

    I have a question aswell further to this from anyone who's gone through the process.

    I am on 457 visa and plan to apply for the 186 visa through the Temporary Residence Transition stream after my 24 months

    I wanted to know once I get that visa (186), am I obliged to stay with my company who nominates me?
    I know they are obliged to renew my contract for a further 2 years in same position, but it doesn't mention the employees requirements. can I leave am I free??

    Basically I want to setup my own business and use my own ABN after I get my 186

    Yes you can leave after getting a 186, I know several people who did this.

    Just on the topic of PR. I have a degree in Construction Management but no experience. What does the skills assessment for PR actually involve and how likely is someone with no experience to get through it?

    Sorry to hijack the thread OP :o
