EOI or job descriptions?

If it is EOI, you will have to create one yourself on skillselect after you have done skill assessment and English test. It is like filling a form.

If it is job descriptions, Google ANZSCO job descriptions for the occupation to give you guidance on writing yours.

@Bellong and tunlex01

Thanks for your responses, initially I thought it was in a statement form.

I'm done with the PTE and Skill assessment.

Thank you all

@tunlex01 and @Bellong

TRA is a minimum of 12 weeks before you start to worry.

Good day @Tunlexo1 and @Belong

I have finally received my TRA assessment as successful after 8-9 months of waiting.

Kindly advise on this, the letter did not state my years of experience. With this how do I know the number of years of experience and claim as points?

I'm writing my PTE next Month and log an EOI.

Regards

Hello @tunlex01 and Bellong
I have submitted my Application for Assessment with TRA - MSA
It's been almost 2 months now and its keeps showing this.
Your application has been submitted

No additional evidence is needed at this time.
Advise if all is in order.

tunlex01:


I don’t think 3 years tax statement will work with TRA except you only have 3 years experience. Their guideline requires at least 2 pay evidences which covers the entire period being assessed.
I haven’t seen anyone use Statutory declaration for TRA. You may try that and let’s know if it works.
I worked in a bank and I know the manager is telling you BS cos it’s just extra work for them to follow up with the team that will pull it up. Raise the request in branch and their center. If you know any top person in the bank, copy them too.

tunlex01:

Will the date on the tax statement indicate the year the payment was meant for? the date can be 2023 as long as the narration indicates the year the payment was made for.
Dormant does not mean statements cannot be pulled. It only takes time to pull it out from archive but the bank is required to provide the statement

@Tunlex01 The GRA said they can only go back 3 years from now. So meaning on the Tax Clearance certificate it will show 2020 till current date and the system can't go beyond that. They can't manually enter 2012 to 2016. I want clarification before I make payment. If this will be accepted by TRA as pay evidence.
Secondly with the bank statement there has been a lot of back and forth. The manager said my is not active and nothing can be pull from the , that's why I'm opting for the Tax Clearance certificate or the Statutory Declaration from the High Court.
Please let me know what to do on this.
Lastly should the GRA want to send a Copy to TRA how do I go about that. They said its mandatory to send a copy to the institution that requested the Certificate.

tunlex01:

TRA does not have fast track

Hello @Tunlex01 and @Bellong. Please advise on this. I'm trying to get my Tax Clearance Certificate from Ghana for the duration I worked 2012 to 2016. But the GRA office said the System can only be back dated 3 years from now so meaning. I will get Tax Clearance certificate from 2020 to 2023.
Will this work for TRA as a pay evidence or I should get the Statutory declaration from the High Court.
I have the payslip and my bank is dormant, so I cant get statements. I need another pay evidence. Please advise on this.
Thank you

@TunlexO1, Could you please advise on this, this is the only thing holding me back now, once I figure this out, I can strat with assestment.
Kindly advise on this as well, My first Job in South Africa, I didn't have a permit by then so it was paid Cash in Hand, I can get payslips but how do I go about the other proof, Should I let the manager state the salary in the reference letter or he should draft a cover letter stating the reasons? I was using asylum which didn't allow one to open a bank but can school and work with that. Moreover, I ed with SARS(Tax Revenue Service) only in 2020. I worked for this employer from 2016 - 2019

@Tunlexo1 and @Belong. Please advise if TRA has fast track application option. I want to use that option, all my documents are ready for assessment. Thank you

tunlex01:

TRA takes about 5 months now for assessment. Why not put in your application then write the exam while you wait for the outcome. #justathought.

Get bank statement for all the years. Even for payslips, use 1 per quarter for the years you are claiming

Few months should suffice. 3 months each year max.

Firstly, you need to check the skill level of the occupation. I think ICT engineer is a level 1 occupation requiring a bachelor degree. ACS does do experience in lieu which will make you lose experience points.

ICT requires a diploma or so. In addition, you have to check if the occupations are being nominated by any state.

Going by points you can gain, I will suggest the officer with TRA.

@Bellong, thank you for your swift response, I will start the assessment once I'm done with my IELTS Exams, secondly the banking statements for the Assessment do they need all duration or only a few months. On TRA Website, Payslip is stated specifically for 3 Months but the Bank statement was not stated.

@bellong please advise..I'm currently working as a Desktop Engineer with 5 years of experience and Diploma in IT, Diploma in hardware and networking with 3 Microsoft Certifications.
Should I choose ACS (ict engineer)or TRA (custom officer)for my assessment. My role fit both positions. I'm applying for 491 or 190 visa Sub class. I'm preparing for my IELTS soon(April/May)
