If your CDR gets a rejection, don’t worry because you are not alone. Every year thousands of youth across the world submit their CDR and some of them get a rejection. You can increase the chance of CDR approval by getting CDR writing services in Australia. A CDR service provider knows the elements that can make your report catchy and help to get approval. An effective CDR writing always needs help from experienced writers. When the CDR report gets a rejection, most of us become clueless about what went wrong. It is not surprising. It happens because you don’t have any experience in writing a CDR and don’t know what exactly the EA wants. There can many reasons. We are providing the most evitable reasons. Career Episodes too Technical According to EA guidelines, your career episode should not be much technical. A top quality career episode comprises your approach on a project. You can include some necessary calculations but try to stay away from diagrams, tables and excessive calculations. The EA evaluates your Career Episodes to check your problem-solving ability and practical skills. Your educational qualification is proof of your theoretical knowledge. Wrong Format Did you know your CPD details should be in a list format? It should be summed up in an A4 size page. Your career episodes should be in an essay format and the length is from 1000 to 2500 words. The summary of your episodes should be around 100 words. Summary statements are varied depending on your job profile. When downloading the summary from the EA site, be careful of that thing. Writing Style, Flow & English While writing your CDR report, make sure your write-up doesn’t contain any grammatical error. You should always proofread the CDR to avoid grammatical mistakes and any spelling error. It should be in the proper flow. If you are discussing how you have handled a project, don’t mix your approach for other projects. It can create confusion and your CDR can get a rejection. The sentence formation should be in the first person singular. It shows your skills of interaction. That means, start a sentence with “I” instead of “We” because it makes it impactful. Explain Your Experience A lot of times, one of the most prime reasons for CDR rejection is that people get lost or go off topic. Instead of discussing their role in a project, they give details of the team. It should be avoided. The EA is interested to know about your contribution to a project. Moreover, you should not discuss much about your organization. Focus the report on your credibility and achievements. No Copied Content You cannot fool the EA with your copied content. There are many CDR samples available online. They are to give you ideas on how to write an engaging CDR report. They are not something that you should copy. The Engineers Australia is strict about plagiarism. Your CDR can be banned for up to 12 months if it is copied. All Your Career Episodes Different Your career episodes should talk about different projects. No same project should be discussed on another career episode.

Did you know Australia has one of the biggest immigration programs in the world with 190,000 places kept every year for permanent migrants?

Did you know there are five occupations/ industries high in demand in Australia? They are teachers, engineers, constructions managers, IT professionals and tradespeople. According to skills assessors to the Department of Immigration in Australia, the demand for IT engineers can grow up to 100k in the upcoming six years. According to the University of New South Wales (UNSW), the demand ratio of engineers is far more than the supply in the country. So, those who are looking for a bright career in engineering can switch to Australia. However, moving to Australia is not easy. You will have to prove your ability to EA (Engineers Australia) by submitting your CDR Report. What is a CDR Report? CDR stands for Competency Demonstration Report. It is like a doorway through which engineers across the world look to apply for a skilled migration Visa for Australia. A poor quality CDR report gets a rejection from EA. You will have to wait to re-apply. Normally, a CDR report is asked to be written by the applicant to demonstrate their communication skills to the assessor. CDR writing services for engineers in Australia can help you to get approval for your report. They are fulfilling the dream of working in Australia. Components that Help to Write the Best Quality CDR Report Career Episode It is tricky to write a career episode. It is a lengthy essay describing your competencies for which you would like to apply. You need to describe all your skills that can prove your ability for the field. Clearly explain your technical competencies in your field. Summary Once the career episode is complete, you will have to create a summary which is a small one-page introduction of your CE or Career Episode. In summary, describe all the aspects that make you skilled and competent enough for a job profile. Assessors check the summary at first, and then they jump to assess the CE. Make sure to create an interactive and point-to-point summary. Focus on making the summary impactful. CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development report which EA needs for Migration Skilled Assessment. The report features that the engineer has kept himself up-to-date with the latest development in his field. The format of CPD includes: Title of Training Date of Training Duration Venue While writing a CDR report, you will have to be careful of some other aspects as well. Don’t make spelling and grammatical errors. The writing style should match to the Australian standards. Proofreading is necessary. Before writing the report, know the purpose of your writing and go through the EA guidelines to avoid mistakes. Get inspiration from others’ write up. It will be helpful to create tops for your Career Episodes. Getting the right topic for your Career Episode is almost like winning half the battle. Describe yourself rather than the company for which you have worked for. EA is interested to know about you, so don’t go into deep detail about the company. Provide the details which describe your contribution to the firm and awards you have achieved.

So, you’ve applied for your Australian visa yesterday, last week, last month or maybe even years ago? And here you are, still waiting for your visa to be processed. You’re checking the global processing times again and again only to get even more frustrated as to why you are still waiting for the Department to make a decision on your visa. At this stage, you might even think: I don’t even care about the outcome any more, I just want to know! You’re checking Australian visa forums driving yourself crazy and becoming more and more anxious as the waiting continues. The only good thing about your situation is 1) the fact that you’re not alone in this (thousands of others are waiting too) and 2) not hearing anything about your visa doesn’t mean anything bad. Sometimes no news is good news. It’s normal for you to stress out and worry about your visa outcome. It can be a life changing decision and so it might not come as a surprise that science has in fact proven that waiting for uncertain news provokes more anxiety amongst us than facing unequivocally bad news, including news of cancer (see Waiting for a breast biopsy. Psychosocial consequences and coping strategies by Lebel et al.). It would be nice not to have to worry so much though. There has to be something you can do about it, right? Right? Luckily for you, there is actual research out there on how to survive this waiting period! Dr. Kate Sweeny from the University of California has conducted research on what it means to “wait well”. In her research paper “Two Definitions of Waiting Well” she examines how a group of law graduates handles the waiting for their bar exam results. Her findings show that while participants who suffered through the waiting period and were prone to anxiety and stress, also responded more productively to bad news and more joyfully to good news. These findings substantiate that while the waiting period is stressful, it may pay off once the news arrives. So if you are one of those worriers, it’s nice to hear that you will be able to handle either outcome well. The study conducted by Sweeny et al. shows that those impatient, negative thinking, anxious ridden waiters amongst us have it easier when the news arrives, whether that be bad or good news. When the news is good, the worriers got a boost out of it and were filled with joy and when it was bad, they seemed to take it more productively and it didn’t pull them down too much. Make a mental checklist – Is there anything you can do to change the outcome? Is there anything you can submit, upload or change? Prepare yourself – If you can’t change the outcome, ask yourself if there is anything you can do to prepare for what’s coming? Can you reappeal the visa decision? Do you have other visa options? Talk to your migration agent about your concerns and find out what you can do. Manage your expectations – Be optimistic as long as you can and then embrace passivism at the moment of truth to prepare you for the worst. It’s okay and reasonable to worry and while generally being optimistic is better for you, research has shown that being negative can turn out to be a good thing too as mentioned above. Find your flow and play tetris– look for activities that fully absorb your attention and make the time fly by. Dr. Sweeny’s latest study shows that playing Tetris can help you with that! To achieve a “flow” (a term psychologists use to describe a state of mind that is so engaged it makes the rest of the world fall away and time pass faster), you have to be engaged in an activity that challenges you just enough, not too little and not too much to make you frustrated. Practice mindfulness – Being in the moment keeps you from fretting about the past or what might happen in the future. Sweeny’s research has shown that many strategies of how we deal with waiting anxiety have been proven to be ineffective at best. However, mindfulness helped people cope better with the uncertainty and also manage their expectations more effectively. Now, it’s up to you to put these strategies into practice! If you need to check the processing times one more time, go ahead and do it now and then trust that everything will turn out just the way it’s meant to be. And if it isn’t, you can always contact us.

The Australia government is introducing a new visa for semi-skilled migrants with only Basic English skills. It gets even better: This visa offers a pathway to permanent residency, which means you will become a permanent resident of Australia! Sounds too good to be true? Well, the only catch is that new migrants would have to live in a regional area. Under this new agreement, the so called Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA) the requirements for skills, language and income will be lowered allowing lower skilled migrant workers to move to Australia permanently. Migrants will have to commit living in the Northern Territory for only 3 years for them to become eligible for permanent residency. Employers hiring those migrant workers will have to prove, just as is the case for the current 482 visa that they have tried to find a local worker before they sponsor a foreign worker. Migrants from 117 different occupational fields (farm and hospitality skills) will be eligible for this visa in the NT. A separate agreement will be allowing migrants workers in the field of meat-processing, diary and other agricultural sectors to move to Victoria’s Warrnambool region. The government is currently also discussing including a wider range of regions inlcuding Pilbara and the Kalgoorlie-Boulder regions in WA, Carins in far North Queensland and the Orana region in central NSW. Occupations included in the NT DAMA agreement: Occupation English concession may be available TSMIT concession may be available Accommodation and hospitality managers Accountant – general Aged or disabled carer* ✓ Agricultural and horticultural mobile plant operator ✓ ✓ Aircraft maintenance engineer – avionics Aircraft maintenance engineer – mechanical Aquaculture farmer ✓ ✓ Arborist ✓ ✓ Automotive electrician ✓ ✓ Baker ✓ ✓ Bar attendant – supervisor ✓ ✓ Barista ✓ ✓ Beauty therapist ✓ ✓ Boiler or engine operator ✓ ✓ Bus driver ✓ ✓ Butcher or smallgoods maker ✓ ✓ Cabinetmaker ✓ ✓ Cabler – data and telecommunications ✓ ✓ Café or restaurant manager Carpenter ✓ ✓ Chef ✓ ✓ Chief executive or managing director Childcare worker* ✓ Community worker* ✓ Conference and event organiser Conservation officer Cook ✓ ✓ Cook – specialist ethnic cuisine** ✓ ✓ Corporate general manager Corporate services manager Counsellors nec Customer service manager Crowd controller ✓ ✓ Deckhand ✓ ✓ Delivery driver ✓ ✓ Dental assistant ✓ ✓ Dental technician Diesel motor mechanic ✓ ✓ Disabilities services officer* ✓ Diver ✓ ✓ Drug and alcohol counsellor Earthmoving plant operator – general ✓ ✓ Earth science technician Electronic instrument trades worker – general ✓ ✓ Enrolled nurse Facilities manager Family day care worker* ✓ Family support worker* ✓ Finance manager Fitter – general ✓ ✓ Fitter and turner ✓ ✓ Fitter-welder ✓ ✓ Fruit or nut grower ✓ ✓ Gaming worker ✓ ✓ Glazier ✓ ✓ Hair or beauty salon manager ✓ Hairdresser ✓ ✓ Health and welfare services manager nec Health practice manager Hospitality retail and services managers nec ✓ ✓ Hotel or motel manager Hotel service manager ✓ ✓ ICT business development manager ICT project manager Interpreter Judicial and other legal professionals nec Landscape gardener ✓ ✓ Licensed club manager Master fisher ✓ ✓ Metal fabricator ✓ ✓ Metal machinist – first class ✓ ✓ Motor mechanic – general ✓ ✓ Motor vehicle parts interpreter ✓ ✓ Motorcycle mechanic ✓ ✓ Nurse manager Nursery person ✓ ✓ Nursing support worker or nursing assistant* ✓ Office manager ✓ ✓ Other sports coach or instructor ✓ ✓ Parole or probation officer Personal care assistant* ✓ Pressure welder ✓ ✓ Production manager – mining Residential care worker* ✓ Resident medical officer Retail manager – general ✓ ✓ Retail pharmacist Retail supervisor ✓ ✓ Roof plumber ✓ ✓ Sales and marketing manager Security consultant ✓ ✓ Sheetmetal trades worker ✓ ✓ Small engine mechanic ✓ ✓ Sound technician ✓ ✓ Storeperson ✓ ✓ Supply and distribution manager Taxation accountant Telecommunications cable jointer ✓ ✓ Telecommunications linesworker ✓ ✓ Telecommunications technician ✓ ✓ Tour guide ✓ ✓ Training and development professional Truck driver – general^ ✓ ✓ Tyre fitter ✓ ✓ Upholsterer ✓ ✓ Vegetable grower ✓ ✓ Veterinary nurse Waiter – supervisor ✓ ✓ Welder – first class ✓ ✓ Welfare worker Youth worker* ✓   Contact Us if you wish to find out more about your eligibility for this visa.

What happened to the Partner Visa? On the 28th of November the Australian government approved a new act in the Migration Amendment (Family Violence and Other Measures) Bill. What that means, is that all partner visa sponsors will need to first be officially approved as sponsors before their partner can lodge his/her visa application. Are the changes in effect already? The changes are approved but not in effect yet. They could technically come into effect any day from today to 28 May 2018 (6 months after the bill has passed). Once this new legislation receives the Governor General’s Royal assent, we will have more details on how the changes will be implemented and what that means exactly in relation to partner visa requirements. What will happen once the changes are implemented? There will be separate applications and assessments of the partner visa sponsor and the partner visa applicant. This is similar to many employer sponsored visas, where the company needs to be an approved sponsor before you can lodge your visa application. What does this mean for couples thinking of applying soon? It is still unclear whether it will be possible to lodge both applications (sponsorship and visa application) at the same time. This is particularly important for those applicants who are already in Australia and whose current visas are about to expire. If you have to wait for your partner to become an approved sponsor first before you can apply for your partner visa application, your might have to lodge the visa from outside of Australia (which would be a subclass 309 partner visa). If you apply while you are in Australia, you are applying for a partner visa – Subclass 820. If this is the case, the applicant can apply from outside of Australia and needs to stay overseas until a decision is made on their partner visa application, which can take many months as per current processing times (anywhere between 17 to 25 months without your loved one). Should the applicant meet the criteria for any other visa, he/she might apply for that visa to enter Australia and then apply for the partner visa while onshore. What about the partner visa costs? Again, there is no official information about this yet but having a separate partner visa sponsor application may also mean additional application fees. This would make the world’s most expensive partner visa even more expensive and put even more pressure on genuine couples. Why these changes at all? According to the government the reason for these changes is to better protect visa applicants from potentially violent partners. Given the fact that there are already checks in place for visa sponsors, it remains unclear as to why exactly an additional challenge has had to be implemented making the process longer, more complicated and maybe even more expensive. Want to apply for a partner visa soon and not sure what to do now? Given the current situation, we strongly advise you to get in touch with us as soon as possible so we can help you lodge your partner visa before the change are implemented. This is especially the case if the visa applicant is already in Australia and his/her visa is about to expire soon (less than 6 months). Contact Us  

I dare say that 90% of immigrants have at some point had a discussion either with other immigrants or Australians about the importance of speaking English in this country. And I also dare say that 90% of us (immigrants and native speakers) agree that speaking the language of the country you live in, is important. It’s important for your education, your job employment, your health, your social life … everything really. It goes without saying that not speaking the language of the country you’re in, is simply going to make your life harder. Learning a new language is so easy … except for when it’s not That aside, we should hold on for a second and think about what’s involved in actually learning a new language and acquiring language skills to a level that allows you to communicate with others without feeling embarrassed, shy or even stupid. While children of migrants usually don’t seem to have much of a problem learning the new language, it’s much harder for their parents. It will take years and years of practice, time, money and effort to get to a certain level and you will most likely never sound like a native speaker, no matter how hard you try. So now, if you are reading this and are someone who’s never lived in a country of which you didn’t speak the language and as someone who might be lucky enough to have been born in a country that you do not wish or have to leave, you might wonder why an immigrant would even come to a country they don’t speak the language of? Why wouldn’t they just stay in their own countries or move to a country in which the same language is spoken? The answer to that question is as diverse as it gets. The reason might be better a better economic situation, a better standard of living, a simple adventure, life threatening environment, love … anything goes. Easier said than done I believe that the most important part here is trying and doing your best and that goes for both, the immigrants and the Australians. It’s the immigrant’s job to try and do their best to learn the language if for no other reason than for their own sake, for improving their own lives. What’s required from the native speakers is to try and put themselves in the immigrant’s shoes every once in a while. Try and understand how not knowing a language (think back of that trip you took to Italy for example) made you feel, how you weren’t quite yourself when you didn’t know how to express yourself … didn’t even know how to ask for where the bathrooms are, or how much something costs. Give each other a fair go. Immigrants need to try to get their language skills up to a level where an Australian will be able to understand you. After all, if we can understand each other, we can hear each other and get to know each other better and maybe, maybe start judging each other less. You’re lucky if you speak English Last but most certainly not least, I would say that it’s harder for English native speakers to imagine how one must feel not being able to communicate with the person you depend on or need something from. After all, English is the lingua franca. Wherever you go on, you will be able to communicate in English. Maybe the other person will not understand you perfectly or you them, but the chance of you going on holidays to almost anywhere in this world and not meeting at least a handful of people who will be able to speak English with you, is almost zero. You’re lucky English is the lingua franca and that’s the truth. You’re lucky you’re a native speaker of a language that is globally accepted as THE language to communicate in, if everything else fails. The majority of immigrants aren’t that lucky, yet are still trying to do their best to become better at what is most likely their second language (or third, or fourth ….). Apart from being under extreme stress, not knowing what’s going to happen to their life here, depending on a visa, depending on the employer to not fire them because that makes them lose their right to stay here and so much more, a majority is still trying to learn and improve their English so they will be more accepted and welcomed in Australia. Let’s all start to think about not just ourselves, but from time to time about the other person and where they’re coming from (literally and figuratively).
