The assessment result depends on what you write in your roles and responsibilities letter. If the day to day activities that you performed were like a software engineer, then you can get a positive assessment.
Chances of Software tester
Chances of invite are low for software tester in 189, 190 and 491 at this time.
Points required for invite
The points requirement varies by each ANZSCO code. You need to first choose the code and then get the assessment done. At this time, 75+ points are required to have any realistic chance of any invite.
Canada vs Australia
If you are in India, either is fine to migrate. Just grab whichever country invites you.
Spouse Points
Spouse job code should fall in same occupation list to be eligible to contribute points to your profile.
To elaborate on first question. I do write code for Automation testing and write SQL’s for BI testing. But I dont write code to fix a defect. I will have to tweak my roles and responsibilities to come inline with a Software Engineer roles… Is this advisable to tweak ? How does ACS verify ?
Also if a ANZSCO code description asks for registration or license… what this means ? Like 241511. My wife has the same roles and responsibilities as 241511.
Many thanks Anil for all your help and advice.
Few more ques for the expert
So if I arrange a doc with roles and responsibilities of a Software engineer and arrange someone to approve those on a notarised stamp paper ACS will rely on it and not verify ? Some agents in India are saying that ACS cross verifies by contact the approver or company.
Secondly my wife’s skill as I mentioned in previous comment requires a registration/licence before she starts working in Australia. So can I make primary applicant ? As her skill code is in medium and long term requirement list.
My second question is that my wife’s skill code 241511.
She is not registered nor licenced. Can I assess her skills under this code and make her primary applicant ?
Assuming, you said she will need registered or licenced before she takes up any work in Australia…
I have 9 years of automation experience worked in 4 different company out of which in two companies my designation has been mentioned as software test engineer and senior software test engineer respectively.
the question is that can i apply the acs for software engineer role though my designation mentioned as tester in two companies.
Hi,
I work as a automation tester. Please suggest which Anzsco code is suitable for me?
261313 or 261314. I am planning to submit ACS assessment which ANZSCO code is suitable for my position.
Hi. I’m working as ICT QA engineer. But I can get service letter with the roles of ICT QA Engineer or Software Engineer.
May I know which one is good to evaluate with ACS to be nominated easily? Which job code is mostly getting opened for nomination? Software engineer or ICT QA ENGINEER?
P.s. my designation is always ICT QA. But roles will be changed according to SE
I’m also working as Automation Testing Engineer and do write code in Java with Selenium. Just want to check with you if you did received positive response from ACS after applying as Software Engineer?
Also, Please review my attached Roles & Responsibilities and see if these are relevant for Software Engineer. If not, I will try to modify these roles & responsibilities
