Hi all
I finally received my ITA on Friday last! W00t!
The problem I have found is that, although my EOI was selected without a job offer, they seem to require one now. It says that if you don't have a job offer, you will be subject to an interview, and if the interview is successful, you will only be granted a work permit after 9 months! Is this true? My problem is that as teacher I'll have to wait till end September to apply for jobs, as that is the time they start advertising for jobs in the new year. That isn't really a problem as I have until mid November to submit my ITA. The only worry is that I would like to try and get my residency going before then so that I am assured of getting my permit.
What would anyone suggest?
My other issue is the fact that they mention somewhere in the document that you must have enought personal assets to support your family for 24 months, now if my calculations are correct, that means I have to have close to $120000 in my bank account before arriving, which I won't have near to. Does this stipulation only apply to those people without a job? or is it a blanket requirement?
