Question Section 18A - When does residence permit start?
I am about to submit our ITA complete with job offer. I have just read all the guidelines again and read about section 18A. I was always under the impression that you had to start work within 3 months of arriving (or activating your PR) if you claimed points for a job offer. We are due to arrive in September and I am due to start work on 6th Oct. Now I am a little worried that I have to start work within 3 months of being granted PR - ie. when the blue stickers are put in my passport. If this is the case and they grant my PR before July I could have a problem. Can anyone clarify this for me?
