mansukhpatel Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 ACT will stop ICT Occupations as of Monday 11th July but will continue with others. They will also release an updates list in Sept which may include some ICT Occupations I read somewhere that SA will be opening soon some time in July but no definite dates. Has some here heard similar news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PositivePixie Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I read somewhere that SA will be opening soon some time in July but no definite dates. Has some here heard similar news They said it would be either a couple of days before, or at the latest on the 1st July. THat obviously didn't happen - they then said it would be last week. Which also didn't happen. They are now saying when the new SMP is ready, but are giving absolutely no indication of when that might be. Wish they would just pick a realistic and achievable date and STICK to it. grrrr :arghh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TraxFM Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Does anyone know what is the response time for SS Grant also when do you receive an email confirming that they have received your application as I had submitted mine yesterday but no email We applied the other day and had en email the next day advising that we needed to forward the rest of the paperwork in 30 days. If you still haven't received it maybe you entered it wrongly onto the form, you can check it with the reference number they gave you at the end of registration.

Thanks for the response I received a respond on Monday and they also received my documents. Application is currently showing up as in progress. Not sure what the turn around time is. Hoping something positive comes out of this. The sooner we apply the better it is. DIAC is turning around the applications in few months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
