ACS is making life even harder for IT students seeking permanent residency in Australia Australian Computer Society (ACS) admits 1 year work experience requirement is being considered as a compulsory requirement for international students in Australia before they can apply for permanent residency. Disaster Looms for International IT Students The Australian Computer Societys Professional Assessment Manager, Berny Martinez, confirmed today that a 1 year work experience employment option after an Australian Bachelor IT degree is being considered as a requirement for international students to obtain the skill assessment for permanent residency. It is also confirmed that the ACS is now moving to use a 2 stage assessment process, one being for the Temporary Graduate - 485 skills assessment and the next being a Graduate Assessment - for permanent residency. This will effectively dash the hopes of thousands if international students study IT in Australia. In an email to IMMIGRATION NEWS, Mr. Martinez stated Currently, our Graduate result letters do not specify it is a Temporary Graduate - 485 skills assessment. This is a straight forward change to ensure applicants are submitting the correct skills assessment to DIBP. The change will involve a name change of the application type and a statement in the ACS result letter outlining it is a Temporary Graduate - 485 skills assessment. The criteria will remain the same.
